Saw some text online that made me want to turn it into signage. What good are graphic design skills if you can't have a little fun with them.😜

Faith schools in England will no longer have to offer up to half of their places to children who don’t belong to their religion, under changes to state school admissions rules sneakily announced by the government, after serious lobbying by the Catholic Church.

I propose, therefore, that the 100% funding they get from the state is also scrapped. I don't object to faith schools. I do object to them being funded by the state.

Easy #LLM Turing test.

Ask your counter party to swear and say something disparaging about a famous political figure.

All the commercially viable, Internet facing ones, have guard rails for polite conversation.

Swearing will be our captcha, our human shibboleth.

Have a strong password is great.

Until a website says "Please enter the 3rd, 9th, and 17th character from your password."

And then you go blind trying to find them in

I assume that #Twillio realise that the only reason I use #Authy is because it'll sync across my mobile and laptop.
By ditching the desktop app they make themselves irrelevent.
Also, with a product roadmap like "fuck it, give them a month", I'll also never use a Twillio product again. What a complete dick move

The UK government is planning to scrap millions of unused SARS-CoV-2 vaccine doses, which could have been used to vaccinate previously ineligible groups for free, after they closed the autumn booster campaign.

Meanwhile, pharmacies have just been authorised to offer Covid vaccines at a massive £45 a pop, thus excluding the poorest sections of the population.

And the new scheme starts on...yes you've guessed..April 1st.

Absolutely losing it after discovering what3words took control of the whatfreewords domain by arguing that "three" and "free" are indistinguishable when spoken.

“Vaccination Dramatically Lowers Long Covid Risk” (3 January 2024)

“The prevalence of long COVID is currently 11 percent among those who are unvaccinated and 5 percent among those who have had two or more doses of the vaccine.”

“A study published in November in the BMJ found that a single COVID vaccine dose reduced the risk of long COVID by 21 percent, two doses reduced it by 59 percent and three or more doses reduced it by 73 percent.”

New #Blog: #Amazon has an Honesty Problem

In which #AmazonUK (with the inadvertant help of #AmericanExpress) attempt to try and screw me out of nearly £500 after someone in Amazon's delivery chain stole our order

Note: I'd greatly appreciate it if people could boost the ever-living hell out of this one to try and stop the next victim from happening

Saying it's inappropriate to march in support of peace on Armistice Day is a bit like saying it's inappropriate to eat pizza on World Pizza Day.

The word "excellent" is derived from the Christian practice of giving up the use of Microsoft Excel for 40 days to commemorate Christ's sacrifice.

It is a period of great productivity.

The date of lent is calculated by using an obscure Excel macro on a field that didn't originally have anything to do with dates, but Excel converted it to one anyway.
