I spent the 2017 US Presidential inauguration working in a small open plan office, where someone put it on the TV to then loudly talk about it. I’m very glad I work from home now, and can avoid it today.
When people like this talk about WFH damaging productivity, they’ve clearly not worked in an open office for a while https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/20/working-from-home-not-doing-proper-work-stuart-rose
Yeah @cadey has (rightfully) complained about this in the last week too
This is the only flag I’m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Let’s make it trend.
My thoughts are with my American friends for today, and the next four years. Stay strong. 💪 💜

The EU should demand that American Big Tech sell their assets to European companies. They can’t be trusted to not manipulate the data for propaganda reasons. Not doing so is a national security risk. Am I doing this right?
if you see someone slacking at their Big Tech job, no you didn't

China having my data can’t be used in American courts Even with nothing to hide I’ve learned that data, motivation, and power can ruin lives
I had very few concerns using TikTok while it was owned by ByteDance I have a lot of concerns if it's owned in total or part by a US company

I would say that the US is moving into "the law doesn't matter, only the President's whim matters" territory faster than I expected, but this is about on schedule.

Human nature being what it is, it seems extremely likely that sometime today we will see millions of U.S.-based TikTok users installing some shady or "free" VPN software just to get around the ban. So even though we banned TikTok, ostensibly for security reasons, we end up creating an even bigger security problem when millions of people install some app that can read and modify all traffic.

they should shut down every social media site and force us all to get a life tbh

Every few months or so, somebody asks on social media why a particular DVLA digital service is turned off over night. Rather than answering it every time, I’ve decided to write this post, so I can point people at it in future. It’s a great case study to show why making government services digitally native can be quite complicated.
Attached: 1 image Was reminded of this image again today: "I don't wear 🏳️🌈 [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide." Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap). #queer #lgbtqia

For everyone who's noticed the 'sitting on an ice pack' text; refer to this
I would like for all of this to end in the repeal of the TikTok ban, but it's almost certainly going to end with Trump negotiating the sale of US TikTok as a gift to one of his cronies, which is why Elon and Zuck are elbowing each other so hard right now.

I mean, Jack Dorsey speaking about "Infusing Open Source Culture into Company DNA" when not a single soul has ever heard of him in relation to Open Source before this talk title would have worked as a joke to me. https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4507-infusing-open-source-culture-into-company-dna-a-conversation-with-jack-dorsey-and-manik-surtani-block-s-head-of-open-source/

Spoilers are the worst. I’ve been binging The Traitors (UK) and saw a spoiler for the outcome of series 2, 3 episodes from the end. Completely takes the tension out of it.
People who don't pay any of my bills: "why are you researching x when you should research y" 🙄🙄🙄
