We knew the data protection and digital information bill was getting dropped but still nice to see it reported by BBC after years fighting against it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd11d37rpw9o #privacy #surveillance #digitalrights

Douglas Adams died way too early 😞
He would have been on Mastodon, you just know it

The first three Ncuti Gatwa episodes of #DoctorWho didn’t do much for me. I was very much “meh”. They were “fine” I guess. But left me kind of flat.

But both #Boom and #73Yards had me locked to my TV. Absolutely excellent. More of that please.

Any IT auditors out there? Specifically those who audit security systems/programs. I've got a few questions for ya!

- What are some things that made you successful in your role?
- Are there any technical skills that are critical for your success?
- Any common challenges your face in your role?
- Do you have any advice for anyone trying to make a transition into auditing?
- Recommended readings?

I just watched the last episode of PERSON OF INTEREST. Wow, I‘m still blown away. What a great show, I liked every episode. #PersonOfInterest

I'm working on some nice updates for the next #amiberry releases:
- Integrated the latest version of the FloppyBridge library. This improves the performance and compatibility with floppy drives further!
- Added a plugins directory, for external libraries
- improved styling support for the GUI. You can now design a dark theme easily. Maybe I'll even include one as an easy switch.
- Fixed various bugs here and there, as usual.
- Preview is now synced with the latest WinUAE beta.

As for Rishi's excellent election, I have only one comment:

VOTE OUT TO HELP OUT!!!

Hey, @mozilla I'm really proud to be a paid Media Monitor subscriber, and I'm happy with the service, too.

But why do your emails pass their links through a tracking redirection service controlled by a third party?

🆕 blog! “Gell-Mann Amnesia and Purdah”

This is a retropost. Written contemporaneously, but published long after the events. At the time, I was a Civil Servant in Cabinet Office. Now I am not. But as we're heading for another General Election, I thought I'd share this post. It's the evening of the 2019 General Election. I am plagued by two thoughts. […]

MS office is essentially unusable now without a solid internet connection. Can't even save to the C drive or cancel a meeting without a server check-in first. Absolute trash.

(Don't tell me to use a different product. I'm at work, I don't have a choice)

For the first time since Nov. 2023, two of the four instruments aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft (currently ~24,472,559,000 km away or about 22.5 light hours from us) have started re-transmitting science data!

These spacecraft are older than me and still going strong.

Go you good thing!
