I was in the US a few weeks back & I got a batch of podcasts downloaded with US adverts instead of the usual UK uninterrupted editions, was quite weird walking around NI listening to adverts for Californian wardrobe makers!

That is ridiculously low. I was delighted to learn that Sky UK’s mobile is £2/day to roam, and you get all of your allowance to use. Even better, your piggy bank of unused data can be used for roaming, a family of 5 in Canada for 3w was a cinch, zero faff with eSIMs etc

I loved reading the discworld books to my boys for bed time stories, so good. Same as you, I’ve started reading them again now that the boys are too old for bed time stories from dad.

I grew up in a family that fostered, and Emma & I have been through the fostering process too, so it rang true in extra special ways 🥰🥰🥰

It was @matthewsanabria.dev on bsky.app/profile/ahl.... (and I may have mangled the words slightly!)
Last night @matthewsanabria.dev joined me and @bcantrill.bsky.social to talk about his role at Oxide--Solutions Software Engineer. It's a somewhat distinct role at the intersection of the Oxide product and customer requirements. Hear how Matthew got here... and what he does now! youtu.be/uY6YgNc7vkY

This change is about making things easier for Google, one less system to run, but those of us who opted to use Google Workspaces for personal/family stuff are left worse off

Oof, I’ve been guilty of some of this in the past, filing bugs against OSS because some damn vulnerability scanner found something in an image & the audit process had to show some progress. Sorry.
