So, this is fun. Ruben Steeman nightly has started giving me conflicting #Clippy warnings... If the very last statement of my main method has a semicolon, I get one lint error. If I remove the semicolon, I get a different lint error on the same line!

I'll admit, I've not done any professional sysadmin work in nearly 20 years, but... Surely the overlap of machines running CUPS and machines accessible from the internet should be zero?

I'm doing it at long last. I'll admit that the size of this book is quite intimidating but given everything I've heard of it I've been looking forward to it...

It has begun...

I'm not sure if this is another American/British thing, but I didn't get a single one of today's #Strands. And even after getting the Spangram, most - though, I'll admit, not all - of the words still make no sense to me!

I've now objected 3 times to Meta using my data for training their AI. Every time they say that they have registered my objection and won't use my data, but then I've had another email a few hours later about the same thing...

I'm surprised none of the energy companies have done unlimited tariffs, like mobile phones do. Say £150/mo regardless of the amount you use. I'm sure they'd get a lot more customers just from the consistency/peace of mind aspect...

Are... Are Twitter advertising Bluesky on their own official account? They can't be, surely?

Wheelchairs in King’s College Hospital are being hired out like Boris bikes, costing £2 an hour. "people arriving at the hospital and unable to walk to A&E are pointed towards a hiring dock full of wheelchairs unlocked by a credit card machine." londoncentric.media/i/149892605/ca…

I'm intrigued. How many people are building UI E2E tests for your projects? API tests? How many people are doing proper i18n? Including RTL support? Caring about accessibility? Responsive design? What about CI/CD? Unit testing? Code linting?

Ok - I'm trying to be more active on Bluesky again. I already follow a number of people there from over here, but who else is worth following? Either yourselves or people you'd recommend 🙂

I'm now mainly on Bluesky instead of here. I'm just keeping this around for now so that I can find people I follow over there - thanks to Sky Follower Bridge - and so people can find me. But don't expect much more than that. I'd not realised just how bad it was here until now...

Trump has openly said that he admires Putin, and that he wants the kind of generals that Hitler had. His own staff have described him as a fascist dictator. If he wins and is in charge of the US military, and goes all out Putin/Hitler, how do we stop him? Go vote!
