JPEG XL? It's 2026 and I'm still waiting for JPEG 2000 to become mainstream

Oh, I thought it stood for Fuck Off, Miserable Osborne

The only good use of AI would be to use the heat from its excessive power consumption to keep our sausage rolls warm

Hmm, doubt it's for security. Seems more likely they're looking for backdoors in order to spy on users. There are far too many governments desperate to backdoor encryption and messaging apps to trust any government's stated intent when it comes to technology

If true, God spends a lot of time dreaming up scantily-clad, uwu-looking cat girls for an army of socially isolated believers

Note that it was City of London Police involved. The City of London is quite distinct and different from the London that tourists know of. The City of London is owned by the corporations (mainly financial institutions) within its boundary, it is self-governing and has the right to set up it's own police force which can take enforcement action in any part of the UK, not just the City of London. They are basically an enforcement arm for corporations and are very interested in things like enforcing intellectual property claims.

Renegade III: The Final Chapter.

Renegade on the ZX Spectrum was good, the sequel Target: Renegade was one of my favourite games for years, but the third game was a cynical cash grab, badly executed, barely playable.

Time to go all Wilford Brimley on his ass.

Yet more anti-consumer technology to go alongside the gates that won't let you out until you scan your receipt, the ANPR in the car park, the hair-trigger scales on the bagging area, etc. All to crush that extra penny of profit from us.

 

I make use of sharedrop.io to quickly share files between phones and computers on my LAN. Does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative, preferably containerised with Docker?
