As a security researcher, I can assure you that idiots have been writing malware for quite some time.

Cameron's decision to 'cut the green crap' hasn't just made homes colder, energy bills more expensive, climate emergency more urgent - it's resulted in scores of lost high-skilled, high-wage, high-quality green jobs. So much for the 'greenest Govt ever'

The Chancellor of the Exchequer getting hit for multiple millions in settlement to avoid prosecution for tax evasion while in charge of Boris Johnson's government's finances, gagging the press with threats of SLAPP lawsuits, and being up to his eyeballs in a crooked speculative finance bubble over PPE gear during COVID, is absolutely on point for the Conservatives.

Like putting a libertarian bankster and private medical speculator in charge of the NHS.

Theirs is a parliament of thieves.

Alright, so the 🚲 tyres need some fine tuning but so far I'm very happy and surprised by how little extra effort is necessary for the studded 🚲 tyres.

6. So the truth is, when they blame “Remainers” for the failure of Brexit, they have a point, but they are blaming themselves for never once attempting to see the other side. You cannot impose your will on everyone else and expect them to accept it. Even if you “win” a vote. That’s just dumb.

Challenged to name a single benefit of Brexit which is making peoples lives better right now the Treasury Minister couldn’t name a single one! If anyone still thinks this Government is not taking the public for fools please take 3 mins to watch this video

The Festival of Brexit is apparently being investigated by the National Audit Office over its “exorbitant” cost.

Looks like it was very aptly named after all...

Almost like the whole thing was a genius piece of concept art...

The tabloid/hardliner hysteria at the slightest hint of more pragmatism towards the EU is oppressive.
When will we start to have a sane and reasonable debate, rather than this utterly childish foot-stamping at the tentative attempts to explain that the fantasy cannot be delivered?

It's not a rule, but Mastodon in general has etiquette in which using content warnings for sensitive topics is done in spirit of being a good neighbour. I'm sure everyone has already seen the news, and it's a real worry for many people, so adding a content warning can make things easier for people who are already overwhelmed by it. Just something to consider.

Today’s poem is called ‘Slow Puncture’.

Mastodonners.. This is Patch, the studio cat.

Patch loves nothing more than lying amidst the patch cables of a nice warm synth, or maybe stretching out across a vintage keyboard.

Despite appearances, Patch is 100% ruthless (Think Cato/Clouseau but with more scratchy violence)

The studio is hers, obvs, she just lets me use it, if I behave myself and turn on all the nice warm boxes.

Patch prefers ambient & cool jazz. Nothing too loud.
