Having been listening to @iandunt.bsky.social 's book "How Westminster works...", I am surprised he (or probably his minions) had time to deal with it.
It is disappointing that, given Twitter's high profile and issues within, why GCS have not taken it upon themselves to re-evaluate

I wrote to my Daniel Zeichner MP who asked Darren Jones MP; "All platforms are assessed against the high standards for digital safety set out in the Government Communication Service (GCS) SAFE framework."
The last GCS assessment of X was made in April 2023.
Read it, X FAILS very quickly

I can see how they would feel unsafe.
40% of the protesters from the previous Farage Riots were domestic abusers. Unless they start in Bristol where it goes up to 68%

Best bet, only put "power point demos" in front of customers and say that's what it is.

As I said, details. No one (sensible) writes policy on social media covering this kind of detail :-)
And what do I know?
My point is education should be open to all. The stored/horded wealth due to accidents of history embedded in some institutions should be redistributed

I think every institution of further education should be so well funded (and going should be free) that we remove the option to select a specific uni. Apply for a course and the luck of the draw.
There are details that'd need sorting but we need to tear down the nonsense of privilege wherever we can

I don't know what the emoji is for wry smile.
I know you are taking it to the extreme as a counter point but there have always been levels of detail, which I think we both appreciate.
Sometimes I've been quite vague with the LLM and "it worked™️"
Other times, as you say I'm at the point of code

Flippantly :-) "We've been throwing the dice in the river, look they don't work. Darn you slipper snake oil dice salesmen"
I'm open to persuasion either way at the moment. I still want answers to

* Env Impact
* Copyright theft
* Are we just code reviewers now
* Juniors?

Maybe dice don't help (wrong tool /number of sides)
One thing for sure is that the people I've seen being successful are being very specific in their prompts. Which leads the the obvious points
1. Are you being so specific you could just write the code
2. Why were we not being this specific before
