As the UK government have decided changing the geometrically incorrect footballs on UK street signs is a danger to safety on the roads, Matt Parker has now decided to try to change the design of footballs in the English football league to match those on UK street signs

Say Yes to mathematically complicated footballs!

@paul No signatures welcome, it's an abuse of the petitions system and a waste of time.

OK I’m going to float an idea on here. It looks like we won’t be able to cancel a “broadband switch” from losing side. So won’t be able to do “anti slamming”. Shame.

But to switch using OTS you have to have a match on surname (using some fun, and vague, rules for accented characters).

So we could allow customers to set any surname on a line, and use as a sort of “password”.

After all, you can call yourself what you like, and we have to accept changes to personal information.

@revk If this is added as a feature I will immediately be using it. I have to protect myself from unscrupulous organisations and ISPs fall into that description frequently. Whatever I can do to place my own padlock on my service, I will do.

I don’t know much about birds, but it was cool.

@Jackiemauro It probably looked at that blue house and thought "I don't know much about houses, but that is cool".

I'm now contemplating an xkcd-style graph of average mobile phone height over time, and wondering when the minimum occurred. Someone who isn't me do this please?

@kim also can we plot it against "average amount of play between the battery and the chassis" because I love a story with an easy ending.

@floppy I took a simple purple hand towel, but it's an adoptee so is special to me.

Which is more secure - Bitlocker (in Windows obviously!) or an encrypted HDD/SDD in Linux?

@Gordonbp Well Microsoft will store your Bitlocker keys without informed consent, on an insecure platform, so that's a solid data point.

@i_lost_my_bagel 40 people want to see more Chromium users cry into their keyboard

Has anybody else found that the notifications have stopped working on the Android Mastodon app? Unsure if this is somehow related to the Bing API saga too, or if I've broken something in my settings, but I'm instead receiving notification emails because my instance doesn't think I'm active in the app, and the app just isn't doing push notifications at all. Getting a tad irritating now!

@dev_ric I don't use it, but this week I've seen a few other people mention this problem for both the official and, I think, iOS apps.

@i_lost_my_bagel I hear you may be blocking Chromium users from your Web site.

I'm sure you're aware that this makes some people cry into their keyboard.

@bagder Every year I think "how can he not get 100,000, easily?" and every year, people surprise me.
