I cannot POSSIBLY be any clearer (as someone who worked in IT managing some of this country's biggest databases) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANYONE PROVIDE PICTURES OF THEIR PASSPORTS OR DRIVING LICENCES ESPECIALLY NOT to databases outside the GDPR THREAD:

A staggering 14 million people now living in poverty, a million adults in the UK can’t afford to eat every day, 9 million skipping meals & cutting back on food, a record 2.1 million using food banks, 7 million households going without heating, GP’s prescribing nutritional drinks

Let's make it clear: living on the streets is not a ‘lifestyle choice’ - it is a sign of failed government policy. No one should be punished for being homeless. Criminalising people for sleeping in tents, and making it an offence for charities to help them, is unacceptable.

If you bought tickets to DevTernity (“DevTernity”) on 7-8 Dec you’ve been duped with fake speaker Anna Boyle who is still on the website. A made up profile, AI image, no such staff eng at Coinbase. And some other listed women speakers don’t actually talk devternity.com

And if you are planning to buy tickets to JDKon 2024 (#1 international conference designed specifically for professional Java developers.) on 22-24 May 2024: save your money because Alina Prokhoda doesn’t exist either. This conf: dev.events/conferences/ta… Same organizer.

Anything organized by “Dev events” is by the same organizer who creates these fake women speakers (and has some in the past as well) for some mysterious reason. All their conferences: dev.events I would avoid like the plague with such dubious ethics. Why??

Some denziens of The DEEP. A few examples of some stuff I've been working on 😉

Fining homeless people up to £2,500 for having nowhere to live because they have no way to support themselves just seems to be, oh I don’t know... FUCKING INSANE.

Nothing good will come of this.

Hey Honest Burgers... Please _please_ get off Uber Eats and on to a platform that does you justice. Love your food but cannot stomach another late/cancelled order. (How hard can it be to find a driver for a <2 mile delivery on a Wednesday night after 90 mins?!) #sadandburgerless

Wagestream just got even better. We've acquired the pensions company Zippen. This exciting move will continue to support our mission of improving the financial wellbeing of every worker. Full details of the acquisition can be found here. hubs.la/Q03xrF5p0
