The spy clause in the Online Safety Bill (UK) introduces scanning of our private messages.

It gives Ofcom powers to make private services install monitoring technology that meets Home Office 'approved standards.' This software will undermine encryption.

Here's why we need to resist the attack on our privacy. #StopTheSpyClause

@arclight One weirdness is the tab-heavy context-sensitive nature of the UI. Once that is grasped, and one has developed the muscle-memory to check the state of the various panels depending on what you're working on (or trying to) it becomes somewhat easier to parse, but I agree that it's not immediately intuitive compared to some IDEs.

If you're using 4.x, it now supports external windows so panels can be detached from the main window which may go some way to mitigating some of these unexpected oddities.

"Buckingham Palace also unveiled a new emoji, of the St Edward’s crown, to mark the coronation weekend." I didn't realise the Palace was a member of the Unicode Consortium... theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/a

@arclight As an aficionado of old-skool 2D pixelated shenanigans, Unity was horrible to work with (or against, as it felt like).

Does anyone else in their 50s just not recognise the way 50 year olds are portrayed in the media?

They are always portrayed as grey haired dodgers nearing retirement. Who the hell are these people?

People in their 50s play computer games and listen to drum and bass, we are the rave generation. #ageism #50s

This brings me great joy.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, left, swears in Dr. Makenzie Lystrup as director of Goddard Space Flight Center.
NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy (right. April E, 2023, Mary W. Jackson NRER Headquarters building, Washington.

Instead of a Bible, Dr. Lystrup's hand rests on a hardback copy of Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.
