For anyone else who was out of the loop, this is a joke from the IT Crowd when (in the show) England was changing their emergency services numbers:

From today, dialing 999 won’t get you the emergency services. And that’s not the only thing that’s changing. Nicer ambulances, faster response times and better-looking drivers mean they’re not just the emergency services — they’re your emergency services. So, remember the new number: 0118 999 881 999 119 725… 3.

Edit: Edited for clarification that this was a joke in the show and England did not change their emergency services number IRL.

It’s like the Where’s Waldo of gay sex.

Billy Ray Cyrus’s daughter is born

She has a song out called “Used to be Young”. She was born in the 90s and has a song out about not being young and crazy any more. WT-actual-F

That sounds fantastic, Mr. SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE.

I love me some Legal Eagle, but this video is 2 years old and at the beginning he says they don’t have the full facts yet and everything is speculative since they don’t know what happened. I’m wondering if there’s anything more recent with more info about what actually happened.

jballs, to privacy in Google Update Reveals AI Will Start Reading All Your Private Messages
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

Maybe I’m just old and stuck in my ways, but I don’t see the upside here. Why would I need Google’s AI to be able to tell the tone of my messages and respond appropriately. They’re my messages. People send me messages to talk to me. In what world do I want to remove myself from that process?

If my wife texts me and says “when are you going to be home from work?” I don’t want an AI looking at my chat history and making a guess. I want to tell her what I have going on right now and respond. If a friend asks me if I wanna hang out this weekend, I don’t want AI checking my calendar and seeing I’m free and then agreeing to plans. I want to think about it and come to a decision myself.

Can someone smarter than me point to an actual good use case for this?

Yeah it seems to be an expandable wet wipe, where you have to provide the wet. Not sure how this is more useful than a pack of wet wipes.

jballs, to memes in When will that bastard die?
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

Was this just dumb luck? Or was it in the news that he was on his death bed?

I just found out that Buckethead has released something like 90 albums this year. The dude is absolutely a machine.

Edit: Looks like it’s actually 99. The crazy bastard released 9 albums in the time it took me to write my comment!

I read in a different post that the code was misinterpreted to be a 5 second sleep before showing the video, but instead was waiting 5 seconds to execute some anti-ad-block script. Still pretty sleazy either way.

jballs, to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

Not sure if an automatic transmission qualifies as a modern gadget, but I remember push starting my car back in the day when the battery died.

jballs, to memes in those ppl...
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

My favorite thing about Lemmy is that you can comment on an article that’s several hours old and get responses. Reddit was so big that if you didn’t comment on major articles within a couple minutes of being posted, your comment would get buried under a thousand other comments and would never be seen. Commenting became a game of which top level comment you could possibly sneak your comment as a response to, even if it wasn’t really a “response” to what the person had said, just to get your comment seen and have a chance at sparking a discussion.

Pat Finnerty on YouTube does a great series called What Makes This Song Stink. It’s definitely not for everyone, as he doesn’t give a shit about YouTube algorithms and keeping videos to an ideal length. But has a recent hour long video on Jason Aldean’s Try That in a Small Town. The video (Pat Finnerty’s not Jason Aldean’s) is phenomenal.
