Robots – Oh Fuck!

Dear Greggs,

I can’t even begin to tell you how disappointed I am that a company that represents Newcastle has jumped into bed with the Tory governments Workfare scheme.

People have a right to a living wage not to be treated like slaves which is what you’re doing- you’re a disgrace to the proud traditions of our city which has stood up against injustice for years.

So all of this crack recently where you attacked the government about the so called ‘Pasty Tax’ and championed yourself as being on the side of some of the poorest people was clearly a load of bull intended to protect your bottom line.

I’ve nothing against a company making money, but Workfare? Seriously? You need to have a massive word with yourself.

I’ll not be buying anything from you until you sort this out and I’ll make sure nobody else I know does as well which is a gutter as I love my steak bakes!

(Not really I`m a veggie!)

 

I actually fell off my chair when I finished reading this. What a great thing to wake up to. Enjoy!

Facebook users are spreading a warning to their friends and family online about a supposedly malicious application called “My birthday calendar”.

The warning about the birthday app claims that “just a click makes it starts (sic) sending requests to all your friends/contacts”.

However, it appears that the warnings are causing much more traffic and wasting more time than the supposedly aggressive Facebook application.

Here’s what a typical warning looks like:

---

WARNING: URGENT! People are getting inquiries allegedly linked to a program called “my birthday calendar”. “My birthday calendar” is a malicious application to retrieve data from all profiles. It’s very aggressive, just a click makes it starts sending requests to all your friends/contacts. If a request comes from me just ignore it; NOTE please copy and warn your friends.

---

 

We haven’t seen any evidence that a Facebook application called “My Birthday Calendar” is behaving any differently from the many thousands of other Facebook apps.

So, I think it would be appropriate to classify this chain letter as a hoax warning.

Of course, you should always be careful about which Facebook apps you allow to connect with your account, as they can collect varying levels of information about you. If you aren’t comfortable with that, don’t install the app.

Furthermore, even if you are careful about what Facebook apps you install – are your friends being just as cautious?

It may surprise you to hear that when other Facebook users choose to install apps they can then share the information they can see about you with those apps.

Visit your Facebook privacy settings and untick those options if you wish to limit what information about you your Facebook friends can share with third-party applications.

One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern. We have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what function does it serve?

Right… Pay attention at the back, and no slouching.

Keep Calm and Carry On was a propaganda poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of the Second World War, intended to raise the morale of the British public in the event of a Nazi invasion of Great Britain. It had only limited distribution with no public display, and thus was little known.

The poster was initially produced by the Ministry of Information at the beginning of the Second World War. It was intended to be distributed in order to strengthen morale in the event of a wartime disaster. Over 2,500,000 copies were printed, although the poster was distributed only in limited numbers, and never saw public display.

 

 

Now you can quickly and easily roll your own propaganda poster to use for your projects or just for fun using the keep calm-o-matic.

Just enter the pithy saying of your choice, choose a few simple options, and before you can say ‘coalition government’ you’ll have your very own Government-approved motivational slogan.

Sick of adverts?

Solution – ADBLOCK PLUS

Sick of Facebook following you around the web?

Solution - ADVERSITY

Sick of all the crap on Facebook?

Solution - FBPURITY

 

 

Every time I see an advert on a computer I really cringe, then continue to tell the owners how they can be blocked very simply.
9/10 people are instantly amazed at the clean transformation their browser has undergone.
1/10 people actually say something along the lines of “I’m fine with the way it is”, “they don’t bother me” or “don’t touch it, it’s not mine”.

Well here’s how I shatter them…

You know those annoying 30 seconds of bullshit before a youtube video plays?
This will rid you of them.

You know those annoying online gambling pop-unders that slow your computer down?
This will rid you of them.

I was planning on posting this on failbook but had to stick them here due to it not allowing me to post the links to these wonderful tools.
