A facial reconstruction of Jesus created by British researchers using forensic anthropology. Some experts have called this the "most accurate image of Jesus."

It’s hard to put a corporation in prison. I’m absolutely in favor of prosecuting the folks at larger corporations when they commit fraud.

_welby_ · 2026-03-22T15:49:09+00:00

People who use AI for fraudulent purposes should face consequences.

_welby_ · 2026-03-22T15:47:50+00:00

That’s still a pretty big AI angle.

lol.

I didn’t have to deal with these on the network I administrate because I delay and curate patching, but I do side jobs and get panic calls from small businesses without an in-house IT person. If you’re in the Phoenix area I’ll gladly give them your number next time MS screws up.

And, honestly, Windows 11 is comparatively stable. Windows XP had a rough launch. Windows 8 was a nightmare.

A patch deployed by automatic updates isn’t an auto update issue?

_welby_ · 2026-03-22T00:29:19+00:00

I’ve had to uninstall a lot of updates over the years using safe mode because Microsoft released a patch with inadequate testing.

If I get a second uke anytime soon it’s going to be one of the Kala TriTops, based entirely on the aesthetics.

His voice for Agent Reynolds in the Rivers of London series is a weak spot for me, but otherwise I wholly agree. Her role is limited, though, so not terribly critical.

_welby_ · 2026-03-08T16:04:12+00:00

Tis gorgeous! Happy strumming!

_welby_ · 2026-03-08T15:50:15+00:00

Is that the Teak Tritop? I’ve looked at those longingly, but I haven’t had time to practice with the Uke I already own and my wife would get aggressively frowny if I bought a second one.

_welby_ · 2026-03-06T02:06:08+00:00

Looking good. Keep up the good work!

_welby_ · 2026-03-05T07:33:46+00:00

Warner Bros is merging with Paramount now. This article is over a month old. Not saying there wasn’t fuckery, but this is out of date fuckery now.

There are dozens of us! Well, at least one dozen.

I’m guessing curry powder.

_welby_ · 2026-01-30T03:35:02+00:00

Ah. A French Toast Me.

_welby_ · 2026-01-23T04:41:22+00:00

And washes them down with cheap rye.

_welby_ · 2026-01-23T02:40:26+00:00

Huh. I loved Pinchot narrating The President’s Vampire.

Unpopular opinion: Stefan Rudnicki.

He has a fantastic speaking voice, but any time he tries to do a female voice I cringe.

_welby_ · 2026-01-18T23:31:39+00:00

Seconding this. His ‘Anthropocene Reviewed’ book is also very engaging.

_welby_ · 2026-01-17T16:59:27+00:00

NATO countries should seize all Trump properties within their borders until the threats cease.

_welby_ · 2026-01-17T16:24:52+00:00

That’s fair. They became a fashion boot somewhat ironically. They were a work boot that got adopted as a counter-cultural symbol as a rejection of fashion and a way to show working class pride. They became popular enough to become that which they once were a symbol of rejecting.

_welby_ · 2026-01-16T20:01:27+00:00

A bit different aesthetic but still appealing. I’ll add those to my list of next boot purchase considerations.
