I had this frankly enormous slice of delicious cake this morning, then walked 14 miles without requiring any further sustenance. #Cake #northumberland #food

@TimWardCam @rachel They could save a bit by not buying into the accessibility overlay scam: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/765480

Petition: Ban NHS services from purchasing accessibility overlays, plugins or toolbars

Prohibit all NHS bodies from purchasing or using accessibility overlays, toolbars, plugins or widgets. The Government should instead mandate that all NHS digital infrastructure meets WCAG 2.2 AA standards natively, ensuring full compatibility with users' own assistive technologies.

If you care at all about whether public bodies, like the NHS, publish the code you paid for, you probably want to take a look at https://keepthingsopen.com

#openSource

An open letter asking NHS England to keep its code open.

Code paid for with public money should, by default, be open to the public.

Cory Doctorow @pluralistic with another brilliant article:

"Comrade Trump continues his unbroken streak of destroying the American empire's grip on the world, hastening the renewables transition, de-dollarizing global trade, and killing the world's suicidal habit of entrusting its digital life to America's defective, enshittified tech exports"

Does the term "Documentation Driven Infrastructure" exist?

You know, the idea that people have to write down how they're planning on setting up a network before they're allowed to touch a bloody server.

I finally found a solution to one of those problems that I know so many of you can relate to.

You know when you are commuting on your Halfbike™ to the office on a chilly spring day, and you look down to your wrist to check the time but can't read it because your sleeve covers your watch?

Well friends, I have the answer for you…
