  Elon's new "roadster" is ridiculous and will never see production. Who goes to his ridiculous clown shows aside from journalists who are practically obliged to be there?

  Any #UK #Drupal developers looking for work, Sheffield City Council is hiring. They have made a nice job of their LocalGov Drupal website and they're quite active in that community, I imagine it will be a pretty nice team to work with: https://ce0369li.webitrent.com/ce0369li_webrecruitment/wrd/run/etrec179gf.open?WVID=435522ziLa&LANG=USA #job #jobs

  I'm going to be writing a blog about this. I've been reviewing statistics and working on WAF rules for a major client of ours today. 50% of their traffic is bots. 20% of their traffic is... ChatGPT, deep linking to key documents. Just under 2 requests a second directly for public documents, bypassing the site and grabbing the asset. So many things to unpack in that. 🤯 #AI #ChatGPT #WAF

  Followed a YouTube video to change the washer pump on my daughter's Fiat Panda. Got halfway through removing the inner wing for access (which is a massive pita) then realised the video was for a Mk II and in the Mk III (hers) and later Fiat put a little, easy to remove panel for access to the washer pump! 😂 Much swearing as I put all the stupid screws and clips back in... If I ever have to do it again, I'll be much quicker. It really is a 10 minute job on the Mk III. Less so on the Mk II...

  Ripped from LinkedIn, I have no idea if this is true but it *is* funny. I can't tell if ChatGPT is trolling him or he's trolling ChatGPT! 😂

  UK government department outsources AI %thing. It's hardwired to use either AWS; Azure, Gemini or OpenAI. (🤦 already) But I appreciate they open sourced it. There's no docs, but it's on GitHub. Only it doesn't work and the Terraform provided is not open sourced, so what looked like ready-to-go TF is not at all. Then you see ANOTHER UK gov department has forked it. They've added a bit more documentation, but it's still broken. Both teams ask pe...

  Well. Neighbour lost his shit because someone was in his parking space. Like THE WHOLE VALLEY KNOWS now. Turns out it was one of his B&B guests. Embarrassing much? 😂😂😂

  This is an actual comprehensive and sensible review of the #Ferrari Luce. Spoiler: it's very, very good. That shouldn't be a surprise, at the price it has to be. But I think once all the silliness has died down this car is going to be a collector's item. I reckon years from now it will be seen as the pinnacle of early #EV execution by the best car company in the world: https://youtu.be/B86taQzY5Es?is=r1zLoU4TgsOx8V0_ (Yes, it's Top Gear, but it's proper...

  It's funny how much modern #EV predicted ranges fluctuate. Obviously depending on software, but our ID.Buzz bases future range on recent past driving, I think a lot of EV brains do. It tends to do a lot of motorway and fast roads in #France and the max range prediction hovers around 320/330 kilometres. Here in #Italy it's the only car with us for a month and it's doing all the ducking about, so now the prediction is close to 400 kilometres. EVs much prefer shopping trips to motorway...

  Well. @drupalassoc@mastodon.social has migrated our company profile to their new website (nice) but added a "warning" across the top directing people away from it to a Certified Partner directory because we are not Certified Partners (nobody told us this was happening or asked us if we wanted to upgrade, which would've cost a further $500 it seems) even though we paid them $1,000 in May (not very nice at all). Take a paying sponsor and vandalise their company profile? Colour me not...

  RE: https://tooting.ch/@greg_harvey/116834354946383572 I said I would write up my findings on bot traffic to a major client of ours. Here it is! https://gregharvey.gitlab.io/blog/posts/2026-07/fighting-the-bots/ Bots, #AI and in particular #ChatGPT - and what it means for modern website management. (Spoiler: It's not good.)

  So many questions today! Does anyone know if it's possible to deep link into a bookmark in a document in #Collabora with #Nextcloud? I'm looking for similar behaviour to Google Drive, where the bookmark stub is appended to the link. I don't think you can, but asking just in case I missed something! // @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz @CollaboraOffice@mastodon.social

  @ProgressivePower@newsie.social When the Biden administration started trying to prosecute Trump I said at the time this is a huge mistake, UNLESS they get on with it fast and make it stick. They didn't, it was a huge mistake. The next Democrat that goes in needs to go in scorched earth.

  'Great Britain is a magical land where your neighbors can ask the government to prevent you from installing double-glazing on the grounds that it will change the "historic character" of their neighborhood of terraced Victorian homes.' 🤣 While entirely true, sadly this is not unique to GB. The sleepy town of Uzès in France has a brigade of facade enforcers, mostly people of a certain age with nothing better to do, who are vehemently anti heat pumps and solar panels. 🙄 @plura...
