I was watching Australian Masterchef, and the audience applauded when someone made a meringue. It took me by surprise; usually Australians boo meringue.

@toxy I passed a bakery and saw a sign in the window "Today! All cakes £1". I pointed to a particularly tempting one and said "that one please". "That's £2, please" said the Baker. "But the sign said they're all £1!" I protested. She replied, "Ah, that's Madeira cake".

Now the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers (DMCC) Act has finally passed, and the UK monopoly regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority has new powers to smack piss-taking Big Tech, they are consulting on its draft guidance for the digital markets competition regime. Have your say (unless you're Big Tech, in which case, retain 7000 lawyers to argue about the process until the sun goes nova) https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-digital-markets-competition-regime-guidance

I had filed Sunak as fundamentally decent, but occasionally mouthfarting nonsense to appease the brexitty loons. I didn't expect full fat fascism. Fuck this gang. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpddxy9r4mdo

My son went to a really lovely school for kids with learning difficulties. They cut the school day by 30 mins (so 2.5 hours a week) because they couldn't afford to pay for teaching assistants. Fuck these Tories.

In UK (where I am) Facebook is going to start using my data to train its AI. I apparently "have the right" to object. And if my objection is honoured, they won't use my data any more. Honest!

WHAT?! Vennells has been shown a doc that she saw in 2011 which says Fujitsu staff have unrestricted access to the Oracle database. She now says she didn't realise that it meant that the system wasn't 100% secure from remote transactions not done by the subpostmasters. FFS. She wasn't fit to run a fucking village post office let alone the whole operation.

Vennells HAS to go to Strangeways. The culture of CEOs & SLTs fucking up people's lives through incompetence, (or worse) and then waltzing into their next directorship has to end.

@mattwilcox I had the Thames earmarked for that

@brucelawson@vivaldi.net avatar

@mattwilcox Yeah, but flushing the Tories to join the other turds in the Thames has an extra level of punitive poetic justice

In-App Browsers: in Monday's live JavaScript Jabber podcast, I mentioned the briefing that we (@owa) wrote for the EU commission. It's linked from here https://open-web-advocacy.org/blog/in-app-browsers-the-worst-erosion-of-user-choice-you-havent-heard-of/. what's your experience of IABs? Anything to add to our document?

I'm an agnostic, but I wouldn't bet against Paula Vennells, former Post Office CEO and Anglican priest, suddenly being struck down by a thunderbolt when she goes into the witness stand today.
