In the latest round of #enshittification, $WORK has now decided to mutilate inbound email to “obfuscate” *all* URLs (internal or otherwise).
While this potentially makes it less likely for idiots to be dangerous, it makes it much harder for those of us who have an attention span greater than a potato to continue safe practices.
The bastardised URLs also expose recipient email addresses (in plain text!) to M$, for tracking and advertising^W^W^W security purposes of course.
@jwildeboer that's why i propose the three new laws of robotics:
1. A robot may not perform a task that does not create value for our shareholders.
2. A robot may not through inaction fail to perform a task that creates value for our shareholders.
3. A robot must at all times provide the impression that it is creating value for the shareholders.

Well, this is a Festival line up and a half!
Never in a million years would I have expected #TheMission to be on a bill with #DuranDuran
I doubt that they did either!!
There's some other top acts on their too, Gary Numan, Ministry, the Stranglers and Jesus and Mary Chain caught my eye.
Wish I could go! #LiveMusic

One the first day of Xmas my true love gave to me… an extraordinary thief falling to an untimely death from a burning skyscraper. #DieHardIsAnXmasFilm #AdventCalendar #HansGruber
#Textual 0.43.0 is out. Nothing to see here. No need to click through to the release page.
The quality of Parliamentary debate in the Commons is lamentable, sure, but we’ve yet to get Honourable Members wanting to fight witnesses during committee meetings. It can always get worse.
I just discovered this awesome #latex package to #annotate #equations.

I see the one-man counter-example to nominative determinism has already started his new job as Home Secretary by saying he wants to "Stop the Boats".
Call me cynical if you like, but I fully expect that he will resist actually doing the thing that will stop the boats just as much as his predecessor did. The last thing this lot wants is to stop the boats. It suits them just fine to have foreigners they can blame for everything.
In fact, I firmly believe all modern desktop apps should offer CRT shaders (thank you, #OperaGX!)
