I received a leaflet from Reform UK via Royal Mail. Requested that they erase me from their database. Got no reply so sent to ICO as a complaint & MORE post from Reform received today, actively violating my Article 21 objection in real time.
They really don't want to follow rules and laws, do they?

Have to admire Sky for the continued celebration of Groundhog Day every year.
Always watchable, I know it's on at least once a year.

There's something both sad and telling seeing the number of posts about Holocaust Memorial Day this year which don't mention Jews.

I say this as an amateur photographer: if you have the budget and you'd like your photos to look nice, *please* hire a professional. In my experience, the different between us amateurs and the pros is that we can sometimes make nice photos, while the pros can do it consistently.

The market for commercial podcasts has nosedived in the last few years. Niche, committed audiences is the only way to counteract them.
A little bit. But I never did this to make money, so a few years of making a living from it is a lovely surprise. Most of my podcasts will never make money but those are the funnest ones to do!
That must fuck you off though? Big companies with massive budgets launching things and all the hosts just circle jerking each other.

What's the opinion on wearing a band shirt to that band's gig?
Wearing oasis clobber to a gig is the direct equivalent of being a full kit wanker to a football game.

An absolutely key first principle when using AI is that you, the human, are responsible for its outputs, and that you must *check* everything it churns out. Blaming Copilot doesn't wash.
WM Police chief Craig Guildford has apologised for identifying a fictitious West Ham v Maccabi Tel Aviv match in a police report. He’s written to the home affairs committee and blames Microsoft CoPilot for the error

Podcasts should prioritize audio over video and edit conversations to remove dead air and blind tangents.
