Feeling pretty smug about the fact the correct train door for my seat reservation just pulled up directly opposite the bench I’m sat on 😏

#copilot wrote me a snappy little bio... I've never once called myself a "community builder"!
A Copilot suggestion for some HTML with the line "Software Engineer, Open Source Advocate, and Community Builder" circled in red.

Too agro? Maybe... but I'm just a bit sick of your "did you get my last email" messages, #recruiter

#recruitment
A screenshot of an email reading: Hello, the reason you may not be receiving a response is due to the facts that these are 3 unsolicited emails to an account not listed on LinkedIn and no longer actively monitored with all correctly caught by my spam filter. You're advertising a job lower level and lower paid than my current position and are advertising "hybrid" as a benefit in an industry where "remote" is common. This is the reason recruiters have a poor reputation in the industry. Please remove these details from your system.

I don’t understand all this #bluesky hype.

I guess I’m just really not that into metering services.

Today in terrible password policies: Poundland.

Poundland’s Password Policy Pains:
- maximum length
- restricts symbols
- LIMITS CHARACTER TYPES!?!?

That last one is new to me!

Open Letter for Whole Truth Five (and linked petition)

https://defendourjuries.org/wtf/

#ukpolitics #climatecrisis #protest
Open Letter for Whole Truth Five Dear Attorney General, Richard Hermer KC, This week has seen one of the greatest injustices in a British court in modern history. On Thursday 18th July, five people were given the highest sentences for nonviolent protest this country has ever seen. They were on trial for holding a zoom call, calling on others to take action to raise the alarm about the greatest threat humanity has ever faced: the climate and nature crises. These sentences were handed down just days after the new government’s policy of no new licensing for oil and gas infrastructure was announced. In a world of sound, evidence-based governance, none of this needed to happen. With prisons at breaking point and the new government acting urgently to address this, how can these sentences be seen as anything other than insanity? The sentences, ranging from 4 to 5 years, are higher than those given to many who commit serious sexual assault. The defendants were denied the right to explain to a jury why they took the action they did, making a mockery of the right to a fair trial, with the judge saying that the Crown Prosecution’s agreed facts on climate collapse – including that the world has gone beyond 1.5 degrees for 12 consecutive months – were “neither here nor there”. These five brave, defiant people, like all nonviolent protestors, are fulfilling a necessary service by alerting the nation to the grave risk we all face, as scientists in their droves express their fear that many of the Earth’s systems are already at breaking point. Immediately after the verdict, the UN’s special rapporteur on environmental defenders issued an extraordinary statement: “Today marks a dark day for peaceful environmental protest, the protection of environmental defenders and indeed anyone concerned with the exercise of their fundamental freedoms in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.” According to the Office for National Statistics, 74% of people in the UK want urgent action on the climate crisis. Until a couple of weeks ago that majority was blocked by a Prime Minister who used climate – an existential threat – as a wedge issue in an election he lost. This new government has inherited a suite of recent legislation that conflicts with International Human Rights Law, and has put everyone’s right to peaceful protest at risk. The new government can address this now, as they have with fossil fuel licensing. The world stands at a crossroads and so does our democracy. We write in support of Chris Packham and Dale Vince’s request for an urgent meeting with you, to be recorded so it is transparent to the public, to discuss the jailing of truth tellers and their silencing in court. Sincerely, and with love for all humanity,
