I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Data breaches are going to be more common as more sensitive data is stored by companies. Rebecca, and any Australian, should have the right to delete their own data, especially the kind of sensitive data held by IVF companies.

I am so sick of having to hammer at ESC all day because #vscode wants to steal focus every few keystrokes for some popup I never wanted.

Does anyone know how I can make it stop being so obnoxious?
@vscode.dev perhaps?

Quick 🧵

Ok, I bought a 4-pack of these. Not just because of the unique story, but because they're actually the only smart bulbs I could find that are small enough for one of my fixtures.

My light bulbs now each have a web management interface, and debug logs.
