I remember watching Tony play alongside, Forbes, Stringer et al.
What a remarkable story of heartbreak, and a kind of redemption in being reunited with his family.

Obviously glad they’re highlighting this but @ele, and I’m sure others from the open source community, have been raising awareness of this about this for sometime, so to claim ‘a Guardian investigation has revealed’ seems a bit disingenuous to me. 😐

Whether democracy is the best form of government, I don’t know. But it seems to me it is the only form, so far invented, that is compatible with universal human dignity.

For anyone, like myself (middle aged +), with minimal contact with teenagers, this was a welcome insight into the experiences of young people today, which reassuringly bucks the usual media narrative.

It's time to end the moral panic and start listening properly to young people

Today we launch 'Inside the Mind of a 16-Year-old,' a year-long listening project with young people across the country

Owls in Towels Nov 7

In case you missed it, Owls in Towels has a new home on Mastodon https://mas.to/@owlsintowels

We share pictures of owls (in towels) and stories of wildlife rehabilitation.

Followers on the old instance will need to manually re-follow (since the server hosting us shut down before we had a chance to migrate, and we had to start afresh). It would be a tremendous help if you could boost this or tell someone you know about Owls in Towels! Thank you for your continued viewership and engagement 💛🦉

Wonderful article about Tommy Flowers, Post Office engineer, and his crucial role in the history of computing.

Move over, Alan Turing: meet the working-class hero of Bletchley Park you didn’t see in the movies

The Oxbridge-educated boffin is feted as the codebreaking genius who helped Britain win the war. But should a little-known Post Office engineer named Tommy Flowers be seen as the real father of computing?
