Dear #BBCNews

Maybe people would better understand the criminal sentence if you referred to this as a "violent tweet", not a "racist tweet".

The judge is clear that the sentence was directly tied to her incitement to violence (eg, burning down migrant hotels).

Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

It's great to see the results of a field trial of dynamic pricing for public charging! Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy Group) worked with charging app provider (or MSP in e-mobility jargon) Octopus Electroverse and tested the response of 110,000 EV drivers to different types of signals.

@diraquel indeed. While Microsoft Authenticator appears to be fairly benign (compared to Google), I know it’s not going to stay that way… 🤖
@diraquel apart from the “Microsoft” part, is there anything wrong with Microsoft Authenticator? Asking for a friend…
