This is so awful and strange posting here as Adam. If you have not heard Adam has left the building. We are all heart broken but his family and friends have set up a page where we can share our stories and memories. https://t.co/qM2X3UuFJZ

And in honour of #adambanksday please do give a (tax deductible!) donation to the British Heart Foundation here: https://t.co/zqW1wmAvPR

[Adam Banks @adambanksdotcom]

Happy birthday Adam and happy #adambanksday everyone. Remember him today and remember to take that little bit more care on your kerning pairs, ligatures, colour palettes and layout grids. Be a bit better for our mate who we miss daily… AGB.

[Adam Banks @adambanksdotcom]

Happy Birthday @adambanksdotcom, from hear on in, I’m calling 14th Dec #adambanksday… in honour spend a little bit longer on a piece of work today. Just think a bit more about it! If you have some memories to share of our friend, you can put them up here. https://t.co/UVnyGGiVNB

[Adam Banks @adambanksdotcom]

Just a reminder from non-Adam ... we are still collecting contributions of your stories, photos, designs and Adam-isms at https://t.co/HYGazhLt8Z and cash for the British Heart Foundation as well, also there. Please visit x

[Adam Banks @adambanksdotcom]

There is also the obligatory fundraising page... this one is for the British Heart Foundation. The just giving page is here https://t.co/v39eJlNpIx

@mcelhearn They just thought he was really small?

[Adam Banks @adambanksdotcom]

@peter_dunkley @mcelhearn Tragically, a number of security commentators are suggesting the story may be incorrect or exaggerated

[jonn elledge is mainly on bluesky @JonnElledge]

Abolish the Home Office. Break it up for parts and then hold a public inquiry into how a major government department became a nest of domestic extremists. This shit is not okay

@arthacket @gassee @negcx @bhaskarsb @chucker @WaltFrench @rjzak @xto9074 @Microsoft @Windows It needs to be big and flat enough to rest your arms on imho

Apple needs to fix this. Default security on the new M1 (Apple Silicon) Macs is so tight that perfectly ordinary and already approved utility software can only be installed by rebooting in a special mode to change settings. User-hostile, clunky, archaic

[Jeff Johnson @lapcatsoftware]

Wow, this is a nightmare on M1 Macs!

"ACE is not a kernel extension. Instead, it's a standard audio plug-in, which receives enhanced privileges to access your system's audio. MacOS simply uses the kernel extension verification system to allow ACE to load"

Doesn’t make any difference, all they want to know is if you have five years’ experience using their CMS

[Linda Serck @Sercko]

So, my first question is:

1. I'm a BBC news journalist, a proofreader, a radio presenter, a radio producer, and a copywriter. When you market yourself to potential new clients, do you think it is better to list ALL the skills you have, or focus on one?

3. First time I have seen a court really put the boot in the argument that extreme urgency cures all defects. Natural that that reasoning would be treated with greater skepticism as the pandemic wore on and the shock factor decreased

This is utter nonsense!

'Cultural Marxism' has not been 'misappropriated' by the far-right. It IS a far-right conspiracy

It doesn't "inadvertently" act as a dog-whistle. It IS a Nazi talking point

Shameful attempt by Andrew Percy to avoid the fact his party has a Nazi problem.
