@ubuntu are you prepared to deny downloads to the UK without ID/age checks, as the distribution provides a server/client by default ?

@Extelec tickets works. Details goes to home page. Thanks for working late :)

@ai6yr @Ashmire "None of these [supporting staff] adults had been given any prior assignment for assisting with a flood evacuation of the camp, and the grounds
crew were strictly instructed not to interact with campers. None of them were asked to assist
that night."

/me shakes head

@Ashmire @ai6yr also "As in previous years, the inspector assigned to Camp
Mystic" Far too easy to have a "same as last time" mindset and expectation. Auditors need to be randomised

@ai6yr plus "been a general culture that prioritized rule-
following and acceptance of authority over the exercise of individual judgment and decision-
making"

As it was a religiously themed camp, makes sense would cause issues.

To thank the UK Information Commissioner for all the fish, here are FIVE EPIC FAILURES he's made during his tenure. Or, to paraphrase his own words, the five best attempts at humor that were inappropriate.

@Extelec Most of the links on the ExElec page don't seem to go where they should eg first "tickets" button is to a generic page and waterandsteam.org.uk/event/gau is similar. Dunno if you can fix that ?

@LordWoolamaloo @lp0_on_fire even when that is is, letting them know there is an alternative view point is important. If nobody ever did that, nothing would ever change. Maybe it even makes them ask a question or two in private.

@MiaMarkTwo @LordWoolamaloo @Cadbury_Moose which is bonkers, because basic tools like SSH or nc are "VPNs" so it makes illegal in the UK

Any gog.com people here? If you're wondering why I haven't spent money with you for ages, it's because your Mac support is terrible. Half of the 'works on Mac' games in my library do not even start. Most of them do work if I download the Windows version and configure it with WINE, DOSBox, or ScummVM myself, but the entire point of paying you money is that I don't need to do that. Several of them bundle a 32-bit x86 version of WINE, which doesn't work on modern Macs. Simply upgrading the WINE version makes them work again. I'd rather have an untested version than a definitely-known-not-to-work version.

This is not new, but the way. Smugglers V looked fun but it crashed on startup on every version of OS X I ever tried it on, for over ten years. At some point, I just give up assuming anything that you sell works.

@mkristensson I've said it before, passkeys were designed by people who have three monitors in their desks, use the latest iPhone (and have the disposable income to replace it immediately when it breaks) and they work great for that population

RE: mastodon.social/@craignewmark/

From a strict security perspective this is true. But as my family's IT manager, both passcodes and single sign on are nightmares that I now actively avoid. They perpetuate lock in by large companies, removing any flexibility in who/when/how you can log in.

Need to share a log in with your spouse? Impossible.
Teenage kid traveling without the family and wants to watch a show? Impossible.
Mom in the hospital and you need to pay her utility bill for her? Impossible.
