The Express is well known in the UK for exaggerated and rage-bait headlines. That and predicting outrageous weather events, without evidence, that never materialise

The Daily Express is a UK right-wing tabloid newspaper and is a very unreliable news source. I can only presume that the US version is from the same mould.

Note that it was City of London Police involved. The City of London is quite distinct and different from the London that tourists know of. The City of London is owned by the corporations (mainly financial institutions) within its boundary, it is self-governing and has the right to set up it’s own police force which can take enforcement action in any part of the UK, not just the City of London. They are basically an enforcement arm for corporations and are very interested in things like enforcing intellectual property claims.

Renegade III: The Final Chapter.

Renegade on the ZX Spectrum was good, the sequel Target: Renegade was one of my favourite games for years, but the third game was a cynical cash grab, badly executed, barely playable.

I think we see a reform manifesto pledge to ‘bring back good, honest turkey twizzlers’ to school canteens 🙃

O’Biden? First the Irish claim Obama, now Biden 😄

I wish the media would stop portraying it as left vs right. In the UK, the traditionally left-leaning Labour party that is currently in power are also coming after disabled people. It’s not left-right politics, it’s the predatory billionaire class coming after everyone, taking the easiest targets first.

The symptoms I live with daily as a result of ADHD are not the same as those used to diagnose ADHD, and I recognised that in 2022 when seeing videos of people’s lived experiences of ADHD made me realise they were talking about my lived experience.

I then when on to do a screening questionnaire which I spoke to my doctor about, who then agreed to refer me to a specialist psychiatrist for diagnosis.

The article basically boils down to the obvious ‘don’t take what you see on social media at face value, do some research’ and isn’t a revelation about ADHD content, more that they took a subset of content on a social media platform and found that non-experts in the field were as susceptible to inaccurate information on ADHD as likely most non-experts in any subject would be when encountering content on that subject on social media.

I bet you could make that look awesome! As a graphic designer I really dig the Sun logo - bold, simple, clever.

Yet more anti-consumer technology to go alongside the gates that won’t let you out until you scan your receipt, the ANPR in the car park, the hair-trigger scales on the bagging area, etc. All to crush that extra penny of profit from us.

I’d forgotten all about Google+ until you made this observation

About how far does this leave us from a usable quantum processor? How far from all current cryptographic algorithms being junk?

That may well be the thing I’m looking for, thanks for the pointer!

You don’t understand because I didn’t state why 😅 I have enough time and energy to set up and manage containerised applications. 20 years ago I might have had the drive to set up a local dev version, manage the dependencies and set up local init scripts, but not anymore.

KDE Connect is a great idea, thanks!

I’ve not come across Arteck, thanks for the tip.
