First up this week is a little story about a fifafail. I do wonder if this was a failure of the television station, or whether there was something more to it than that.
Hercules wrote to alert us to these World Cup shenanigans, explaing "At least the flags were correct. And yes, this was live TV. The host got the country names correctly, and even called out that the written text was wrong"
"I'm very open in my job search but I did limit it to France. The search has been working well for months, but this morning I got a bevy of new interesting propositions. It seems France is much bigger than it was yesterday." Apparently WorkerNumber29200 is surprised by the expansionist nature of an imperialist coloniser. Plus ça change, Worker.
We have a couple of wtfs from Github. First Hans K. "would love to find a, so I could fix this GitHub Dependabot issue."
And Peter S. figures that "GitHub has trouble doing basic math -- or they have an unpublished proof that 0=1"
Finally Michele has just encountered one of the most maddening phenomenon on Amazon recently. "Searching for a cheap USB-C fast charger. Got a list of expensive CDs of obscure artists." All of them AI-generated, like the 100000 Whys books?
