Today, I got my (uk) dev team in a room, with a whiteboard, and pens, and we worked out what we need to do.

This is the way.

lol, Twitter is unverifying all original verified users then making it so accounts will only show up in the algorithm if they pay for Twitter Blue. Gonna be interesting to see if there's enough attention seeking losers to power a $44 billion dollar platform at $11 a pop.

My newest blog post on my .dev site. This one is titled "Falsehoods programmers believe about addresses and location data" and is recycled from an old Github gist of mine on top of some feedback from my Mastodon followers

Privacy for all should be a goal—but the UK's Online Safety Bill would undermine privacy for everyone. It could also make the problem of child safety worse, not better. Tell the UK’s House of Lords to protect end-to-end encryption and privacy in the bill: https://act.eff.org/action/tell-the-uk-s-house-of-lords-protect-end-to-end-encryption-in-the-online-safety-bill-9245a4fd-8ae0-4e46-a90c-ad64f743837e

@ojb10 I note that about a decade ago it was reported that a Tory party conference was attended by more corporate lobbyists than party rank-and-file members. And last year, the Tory party received more income from legacy bequests than from membership dues. (And also, a Conservative party membership subscription is £5/year and there are no residence/citizenship tests—Vladimir Putin could drop £100K/year and buy 20% of their voting memberships, thereby choosing the next PM.)

Round 1 of test panels :D It's a very incomplete scene, but was fun to work on while I'm sick on the couch. Need to add in space and missing panels/dialogue eventually.

Hoping these aren't terrible to preview. It feels like too many to post 1 at a time. Will check and figure out how to best post the other 4
