This is huge. The ACM is calling for an "immediate suspension of the current and future private and governmental use" of Facial Recognition technologies, for "both technical and ethical reasons."

Someone wrote to ask about my plans for the fall, and it took me a moment to realize they meant "autumn", and not "the collapse."

Well it was going happen eventually...

My dual boot laptop is now no more. Not the hardware. A freak lockup insisted (I'll avoid the long story) that I say 'Farewell' to Microsoft, (Thanks Bill Gates it was fun waiting in the car park of the Venetian resort in LV in 1999. Not!)

Yes, there are a handful of Windows programs that I have to run on Linux for various reasons, but I've finally made the switch, the jump, and I won't be looking back.

Please support Linux app developers as much as you can. A few euros here, a few dollars there. Also Wikimedia.

Anything else? Yes I need to sort out the issue of no access to the BIOS!

I neither said he was smart nor stupid. I commented on his character.

He will undoubtedly have huge teams of people analysing the effect of everything he says and does. His future actions will be adjusted to maximise his appeal to those demographics.

As you said, it is all about enhancing Trump's position, he doesn't believe in anything. Ideals are anathema to Trump.

If the #Covid19Cymru figures are correct today, it's truly remarkable. I confess I am doubting them though. Statistically this is improbable. We know that yesterday there were problems with the testing figures, but no problems have been reported for death figures, and no problems reported today for either; in fact, the implication is that it's back to normal.
1 death today, after 1 yesterday. Total now 1477.
Another caveat: Sunday's figures are often low.
My model's prediction for tomorrow: 7.0

Boris Johnson, a classicist I'm told, should pick up the phone and let Kyriakos Mitsotakis know that the Marbles will be in Athens before 31st December 2020.

There was just one death recorded today in the #Covid19Cymru official figures. Although the testing figures come with a warning on the PHW web site, there is no reason to suspect the death figures are incorrect. Along with yesterday's below average figure, and bearing in mind that Saturday figures are normally around about the average (no weekend effect until Sunday), this is an extremely encouraging result.

My model predicts 2.7 for tomorrow.

'Product of theft': Greece urges UK to return Parthenon marbles

Some neighbours of mine have been looking after an orphaned blackbird for nearly a month. I've had a minor role in the process, taking it under my wing on a few occasions. I also named it Marlene (after Marlene Dietrich) but, given the difficulty of sexing birds early on, it could have been Marlon (after Marlon Brando).

On Thursday, it chose freedom!

In short 'Norwegian Wood'!

Sorry guys. I'm like @bob today: tired. Tired of voting, demoing, writing letters, signing petitions, talking to my mp and mla and city counsellors and by nearly every metric things have just gotten shittier in my lifetime.
And those are the entire extent of my democratic 'powers' :-(
Well, unlike CEO's having their champagne breakfast, I have to go to work now - I'm short on rent this month on top of no champagne.

I sometimes thing the #PremierLeague #Footballers are pampered and given too much attention but it’s good to see that they are setting a good example with the likes of #MarcusRashford using his influence for the good of the community. Also good to see tonight’s #football #players wearing #BlackLivesMatter on the back of their #jerseys and #TakingAKnee prior to their matches.
