@markvonwahlde @pkrugman I didn't suggest to use AA guns to shoot down missiles. I said drones. AA guns are plenty good for that.

Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.

@pkrugman these are all good points but the situation you describe absolutely need not remain static. Cheap AA guns is not some kind of alien tech. they have been around since WW1. they can and should be produced by the West and supplied to Ukraine to deal with the drones. also, they shoot bullets so the price of ammo will not be an issue with them. EW anti-drone weapons which don't consume ammo are another tool.

Rishi Sunak wants all pupils in the UK to study maths to age 18.

I stopped studying maths when I was 16.

I can't see how studying it for another 4 years would have helped me?

Universal mask wearing is not a lockdown. It’s the opposite: Mask mandates make society accessible to many more people, especially those at higher risk.

@ChristopherJM he still won't call it a war though. that would be admitting mistakes and Putin doesn't do that.

Just had a request for a "Share on Mastodon" button for a blog.

As far as I know there's no official "Share on Mastodon" button, but there are several third party options.

If you've used a "Share on Mastodon" button on your site, could you give your recommendations/experiences?
