Some of us have been advocating this going back since chatGPT launched. It also has other benefits: correcting someone else's work is actually a really good way to learn something yourself.

Fill your ears with birdsong from a quiet place. ☀️
Episode 223 - Birdsong in deep forest ambience (50mins)
On a steep rough path by a stream, we found pristine quiet all around. Just the wind in the firs and birdsong.

We’ve redesigned the “who can reply” settings to make them clearer and easier to use. You can also now save your choices as the default for future posts, giving you easier control over the conversations you start.

What makes the #BBC unique? It's funded by ordinary people paying less than 48p a day. It's not beholden to advertisers. It doesn't have a proprietor. Its mission is to be impartial. And crucially, it's *independent* of any UK government. Let alone the government of a foreign state. 1/

'What about the men?' is a question I've asked at health organisations, because they're the minority using health services, seeking support and sharing experiences.
Men need support too, but they've told us that they struggle with feeling uncertain or vulnerable.
Here's what I think can help:

But what happens when Cloudflare itself goes down?

TFW you're trying to double-check analysis for a report and cannot access the client's website or forum as they're both offline due to the cloudflare global outage...
Which means without that analysis check you can't actually write the report...
