#Introduction: Hi, how are you? My name is Ryan. I live in Manchester in the UK. I like books, movies, music and photography. I mostly talk about linux, politics and rights. That said, I'm mostly here to read the thoughts of others. Thanks for your time and apologies in advance for all the mistakes I'm likely to make. Chao!


Since I'm starting my new job hunting "adventure", I had to re-enstablish my Linkedin profile. Which I hate, but it's needed unfortunately.

Now I haven't open #Linkedin in a looooong time, and what a horrible experience it is!

Now basically according to my timeline it's all about AI, that's it. Just that.

Everyone is showcasing their ability to cheat life with an LLM.

WTF? Like any other social media (including this here) it's a bubble of information.

But what a shitty bubble that is.

I'm hoping that when the dust settles, knowing how processes work, without a "calculator" will become extremely valuable;)








When I say that I can't recommend third-party forks of either Firefox or Chrome for real world use, this kind of thing is why. *This* is the bar for what the security team for a browser needs to be able to do. A fork where the entire technical team is ten people that can't even keep up with upstream patches is sadly not in the running.

Today is the fediverse's 17th birthday! The first post was made May 18th, 2008 by @evan on a website called Identi.ca, which was the first node in the network we now call the fediverse!

Thanks to @titi and @hodeiaezdaexistitzen for pointing this out!

Oh wow! I had forgotten that I had an account there from ~2013(you can tell it's really me since I guess I've been using the same avatar since at least that time. 🤣 )

The sun will come out tomorrow: remembering the life and music of Charles Strouse

The Broadway community is today mourning the passing of Charles Strouse at the age of 96, the legendary composer behind hits like Bye Bye Birdie (1960), Applause (1970) and Annie (1976).

Strouse was born on June 7 1928, in New York. His parents were Jewish immigrants, and his mother, who was musical herself, encouraged him to pursue composition.

He graduated from the prestigious Townsend Harris Hall Prep School, whose alumni included fellow composers Richard Rodgers, Frank Loesser, Ira Gershwin, and E. Y. Harburg.

At just 15, he began studies in composition at the Eastman School of Music, at the University of Rochester. In subsequent years he studied with both Aaron Copland, and then with Nadia Boulanger in Europe. While he had intended to be a “serious” composer, he found work on Broadway as a rehearsal pianist.



Step by step, a cabal of MAGA autocrats backing Donald Trump has taken us there. Now their task is to sink the roots deeper and make it harder for lovers of freedom and defenders of our constitutional order to dislodge Trump’s nascent dictatorship.

No, we gave them one in order to do this. After which the police guidance will need to be updated. theguardian.com/world/2025/may…
