I see some other people doing ongoing threads of stuff they listen to or have read; seems like a good thing, share knowledge of good stuff and enjoyment of what’s out there. Here’s something I’ve just finished:

If anyone wants an already up and running test case for the insanity that already is right to work checks - just ask anyone who works for a university and has the godawful task of trying to pay people for things like one off guest lectures and external examining.

Interesting factlets about Digital ID...

Government is proposing a massive extension of right to work checks, to sweep up not just employees but all individuals providing services otherwise than to consumers. So the whole gig economy and even including eg barristers (shock!)... /1

I was the abusive boss

Public transport often treats bikes as a luxury—or worse a competitor—but without them leaves revenue on the table.

For 25 years, the Dutch have extended the reach of their railways through investments in (300,000) parking spaces and (25,000) shared bikes. The result? A doubling of train ridership.

A blue and yellow shared bike stands in the aisle of a bright white underground parking facility in Amsterdam.

I lied, one more photo as we approach the cutoff of 9 am. Slightly busier in that I did see one car waiting to pass the van parked on the on street parking (which they shouldn’t actually use until 9:30 am) and a couple of bikes, plus the start of the driving instruction sessions for the day.

A still-quiet Hollow Way facing down towards the junction with Cowley Road (which is actually Oxford Road at that point). There is one van parked in the street and a car which has just passed it heading towards the Cowley Road junction. Taken at 8:56 on the first Monday of the new congestion charge scheme.

Yes, Spires used up a whole lot of INSET days in one go eh!

Some state schools also have Insets, certainly Cheney does

jinty comixminx wildebeest the third @comixminx.bsky.social · 17h

Also I thought I’d try to remember to take photos for the whole of this first week if possible - not that it’s anything more than an indication but still.

jinty comixminx wildebeest the third @comixminx.bsky.social · 17h

I also don’t quite know if the private schools have gone back yet - I assume so but haven’t checked. Spires doesn’t have an INSET day today tho I know Cheney does.

jinty comixminx wildebeest the third @comixminx.bsky.social · 17h

One more, at 8:30 (the charge is only active on our road between 7 am to 9 am and 3 on to 6 pm on weekdays, so this is the last one for the morning).

A very quiet Hollow Way facing down towards the junction with Cowley Road (which is actually Oxford Road at that point). There is one car visible and I had to wait a few seconds to have one in sight. Taken at 8:30 on the first Monday of the new congestion charge scheme.

First Monday of the congestion charge here in Oxf: Hollow Way is seeing clear roads with a smallish amount of free flowing traffic, no stationary cars queuing to get to the junction of Hollow Way with Cowley Road. Last week the charge started during half term, today it’s a school day.

A very quiet Hollow Way facing down towards the junction with Cowley Road (which is actually Oxford Road at that point). There are no cars in sight at all, and only one pedestrian. Taken at 7:36 on the first Monday of the new congestion charge scheme.

I often say that Westerns do not and cannot really understand the Soviet Union or Russia. Prime example right here. This was literally the norm and it trickled all the way down to every member of the proletariat.

Today's your last day to stop LinkedIn using your account to train AI. More details here: www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/h... Obviously this will only stop it _this_ time, and while they still give you the option to opt out. I've just closed my LinkedIn account.

LinkedIn gives you until Monday to stop AI from training on your profile

If you thought your postings on LinkedIn were safe from the AI-training arms race, think again.

All that's wrong with the EHRC "guidance" in one paragraph
“There was no consultation with stakeholders – or even their own staff. It included legal inaccuracies and has since been withdrawn. And while it was big on how to exclude, it had nothing to say on how to include trans people in public life”
