I can neither understand nor accept that it isn’t #GeneralElectionN0W in the UK. Where are the barricades to mount and defend? If I put one up in my front garden will you join me?

One of the more frustrating things about the ORAN process is that it makes claims about trying to be more developer friendly, but is clinging adamantly to what to me are some of the most developer unfriendly modes of interaction I’ve ever had the displeasure to work with…
In my (too) long software development career across academic, open source, and enterprise settings a thing that really stands out is how relatively little software quality matters or is a concern in the enterprise. This is unlikely to be news to anyone with similar experience.
I’m taking recommendations for organisations that are oriented towards changing the social situation in the UK, not merely compensating. Ideas?
This new cabinet is a nightmare. Maybe they’ll crash and burn so quickly replacement will happen. If not the lives of millions will crash and the planet will burn.
This is an expression of frustration over lack of progress on anything of substance. By me and by most other folk.
That this is relevant and worth the effort to anyone makes me sad and tired. I get it: people engage with each over video and it may as well be positive for all involved. But. Exhausting and disenfranchising.

I suppose I could hop back on the #ToolsForThought train except that a) it doesn’t feel like the tools have advanced significantly since ~2005 (good but evolutionary improvements), b) I’m now pretty firmly in _will_ matters more than tools camp, c) my and others will is crushed.

It's a warm summer. I'm climbing more than normal. My fingers are swelling and getting my wedding ring on and off is becoming challenging. But I'm worried about getting it stretched because come winter my fingers will shrink again. What to do? Anyone have experience?

It's far from done but will be relatively straightforward to finish because it uses itself to test itself and all the raw tests already exist. Release early, etc.

Have the tories that are squabbling with one another stopped pretending they are doing democracy yet? Let me know when it is over please.

I resign as minister of stuff that happens round my house.

I guess that means we better get to work on designing the defence. Now. And start doing things we used to think we don’t do.

This represents a tragic misunderstanding of the point and value of education and ensures incumbency for the privileged.
English lit degree at Sheffield Hallam is being “suspended.” University responding to Government who will no longer fund degrees where 60% students don’t end up in “highly skilled” jobs within 6 months.
I thought this was already the case.
In 10 years London commerce is going to be the City and everything else will just be American candy shops. The entire economy will then just be purely money laundering outlets of various flavours.
We don’t do enough about “the rentierisation of the economy”. Where do is any of analyse, discuss, think, privatise, destroy, and end to name just a few. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Being an owner at a remove from effort and production makes it very easy to ignore, not care about, or not notice all the damage that ownership does.
