@Saranyagop Friends don’t let their note app freak friends spiral out of control 😌

[Mansha Manohar @UXetc]

@Saranyagop I reeaaally should stick to my current toolkit but curious about what you’re going to select, Saru. 👀

[Mansha Manohar @UXetc]

Joplin for quick notes, reminders, links. Anything that’s not too fancy. Plus offline access and I prefer its .md exports to Notion’s.

@colinrtalbot @SimonWhiteley6 @PaulbernalUK @docdave60 No. Board structure/governance much discussed when Trust abolished - Tories wanted unitary board because “like private sector.” Wholly unsuitable for BBC but mine was a minority view. 1/2

@colinrtalbot @SimonWhiteley6 @PaulbernalUK @docdave60 A supervisory board which is remote from day to day editorial and appointments but strategic and can act as conduit to political discussions much more appropriate .

Today, Netflix is on the vanguard of the war to

They helped lead the charge to pervert @W3C web-#standards, creating a DRM video standard called #EME that made it a crime to build a full-featured browser without getting permission from media companies and restricting its functionality:

This tells you everything you need to know about how Conservative governments hamstring public service innovation to claim that the private sector does it better.

AI generated text here sounds exactly like SEO stuffing for landing pages. GOSH I WONDER WHY?

[Mansha Manohar @UXetc]

@JiriJerabek Spot on. Far too many people seem to think that it’s unacceptable to publicly defend your (colleagues’) work when the boss publicly—and incorrectly—criticises it.

[Rob Kazinsky @RobertKazinsky]

Years ago, before verified accounts were a thing, back when I was on Eastenders, I was contacted multiple times by parents of children who had been “conversing” with me online. 11-15 year old children that had been talking with a fake me.
