Maybe I'm not awake enough yet but I'm still not seeing anything other than tiny human in a pod

Yeah I was gonna say, there's basically juggalos in 2077, and I'm fairly sure I read that they existed in 2020 too

Edit: should have just clicked your link before responding, they are indeed in 2020

I'd say something like Seinfeld or Friends is probably it, there's still channels showing reruns of these all day long across the world.

You've got to consider stuff that was popular and universal enough to get translated to many different languages and then still get rerun in those countries too

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you are referring to by signing:

FWIW, A source code leak would not typically also include signing keys unless explicitly included. At any large org, there is a good chance only a handful of people will have access to a given signing key. So it's unlikely the method by which the code was accessed, would also provide access to signing keys

Right, maybe I'm not getting it, but why is split view suddenly a browser feature?

That's very much the job a window manager should be handling

The severity of each level is different

I think matching wine glasses is relatively uncontroversial, but also understandable if kinda mismatched. A contingent of matching tumblers is also fine but you need the random pint glasses too at the very least. I maintain a fully matching set of mugs is a red flag

Only if it's intentional, it can easily be caused by ignorance/incompetence too

I don't really like watching video on my phone, so I'll pretty much always go for the nearest bigger screen unless there's no option to do that.

I honestly think most of the time I would just not watch the video rather than watch on my phone

To be fair, even the oldest in that cohort are too young to have voted in the referendum

I was originally gonna say Sigur Ros but that's already been covered

My shout out goes to Niteworks then, who sadly did their farewell tour last year. One of my favourites:

I don't really smoke anymore, but the smoking ban in the UK (no smoking indoors from 2007) created the concept of the smoking area outside a pub/club and some of my best friendships in life ultimately started in that Petri dish

A smoking area outside anywhere in the northwest of the UK about 10-15 years ago was just peerless in calibre

Ding dong the witch is dead

 

Electronic music artist and tech creator Look Mum No Computer has been chosen to represent the UK at this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, the BBC has announced.

Look Mum No Computer is a solo artist, songwriter and YouTuber, who is also described as "an inventor of unique musical machines."

The singer first arrived on the music scene back in 2014 as Sam Battle, frontman of indie rock band Zibra. The group performed at Glastonbury in 2015 for BBC Introducing. Since then, he has been performing and recording under his solo name.

"I find it completely bonkers to be jumping on this wonderful and wild journey," he said.

"I have always been a massive Eurovision fan, and I love the magical joy it brings to millions of people every year, so getting to join that legacy and fly the flag for the UK is an absolute honour that I am taking very seriously."

 

Yep, it's still a nazi bar.

This is some not great news. I've been using NI (as well as izotope & plugin alliance) stuff for a very long time, and have hardware from them too. I imagine there are a lot of small sound design studios selling kontakt instruments who are a bit scared for the future now.

I really hope they're able to find a good solution for creators with the administrators.

Here's hoping for a fantastic 2026 ❤️

 

Keir Starmer has been warned by senior Labour figures to stop making mistakes, before a battle over the party’s deputy leadership and amid fears the government could row back on workers’ rights.

As candidates began to jostle to replace Angela Rayner, the prime minister faced public criticism from Emily Thornberry, a potential contender, who said further mistakes from Starmer could lead to having to “hand our country to [Nigel] Farage”.

Andy Burnham also called for a “reset” and more pluralistic style, telling the Guardian that the government needed to be “listening to the heartbeat of the party”.

 

Took this one last June outside the cafe at Meiji Jingu shrine by Harajuku, Tokyo

 

As the festival draws to a close, and I've been sadly watching from home this year—what's everyone's highlights?

I might just be still in shock, but holy shit The Prodigy just absolutely demolished it.

Biffy, Franz and Scissor Sisters being the other most memorable shows I've seen so far. I've enjoyed a lot of what's been on West Holts as per usual.

A little disappointed in Neil Young's set, he felt a bit lacking in energy to me, but maybe I set my expectations a bit high. I think Pulp put on a great show, but I'm not sure it deserves the lauding it seemingly got in this morning's press.

 

I finished work a bit early today, went for a walk, met a friend at a newly opened pub, watched the football with a few pints and just got back home.

Another fun Friday to put into the box of fun Fridays

What's going on in your corner of the world?

 

It is known across Liverpool as the Radio City tower but that moniker may not be around much longer as the structure hosts its final live broadcast on Christmas Eve.

Microphone cables are being bundled up and heaving contacts books packed into boxes, leaving empty what is arguably the most famous building of the city’s skyline – St Johns Beacon, to use its proper name.

Built in 1969, originally as a luxury revolving restaurant that was one visited by Queen Elizabeth II, the tower was listed Grade II in 2020, with Historic England describing it as “embodying the technological bravura and spirit of the space age”.

 

What would you add/change for next time

I know I could do with a sweeter red vermouth

 

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.
