If Warner Bros Discovery keep Brody King off TV because of the 'Fuck ICE' chants, the audience should be chanting 'Fuck Warner Bros' when he's not on. Loudly.

Safer Internet Day is really about small habits

Don’t click dodgy links
Delete emails that feel off
Watch for weird grammar
Be wary of surveys
Don’t engage with trolls, block them
Use antivirus software and keep devices updated

Simple stuff, worth remembering

Languagetool has decided to lock the Browser extension behind its premium tier.

Luckily self-hosting it isn't too difficult. I still prefer it over Grammarly.

I've tried Harper, it still has some issues, but seems very promising.
