Ask your government for leadership and you will get a more livable, green and joyful city 👇👇

@iitalics dns cant be that hard its literally just cache invalidation and naming things
Let's be clear. Those "low value" degrees are all the degrees were you learn how power works. How knowledge is made. Where hierarchies and ideologies come from. And why all of that is considered "low value" and by whom.

"Rishi Sunak will announce on Monday that he will CAP the number of students wanting to study "low-value" degrees."

Want to know what I think?

Sunak to force English universities to cap numbers of students on ‘low-value’ degrees

Exclusive: Move penalises courses with a high proportion of working-class or minority ethnic students, critics say

Something we ALL need more practice with…saying “thank you but I don’t want to”

No searching for “excuses”

No overthinking

No anxiety

No guilt

Just a simple “thank you but I don’t want to”

I wonder is hiring people that got fired considered poaching?

The threat suggests that Threads is the most serious rival yet to Elon Musk's chaotic social platform.

#Threads

Threads feed of people you follow 'on the list'; can't delete your profile; more

Twitter’s implosion has helped Threads get off to a great start, gaining 10M users in the first 10 hours. But...

The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

EDIT for clarity: The 200+ attempts *may* have been overcounted as DDG hadn't tooled their VPN for Threads yet.

Since my post about the #DuckDuckGo app and #Threads is still getting lots of attention, I want to be clear about how I actually feel about #DataPrivacy. It's a lot like #recycling. Yeah it's a good thing to protect your own personal data, but if we're being honest, it's not effective on an individual scale. We need good legislation at a national level to meaningfully change the game for the benefit of us all. Until then, no matter how careful you are, you're still being negatively affected.
