We wouldn't tolerate an architect breaking into our homes, moving round the furniture and redesigning our environment, so why do we let software companies do this continually with our various software habitats?

I'm a bit torn. Not viewed previous Traitors series, because not comfortable with Big Brother vibe of kill/win, as ents/societal ref, but as this one for charity, thought I'd chance, and vibe to date (e2) quite good.

Do we need a 'UK' Bluesky/filter? Is it too American, or is that just my algorithm 🤔🤷‍♂️?

It's a shame that #CelebrityTraitorsUK feels the need to use #CharlotteChurch's decolletage in every trailer for what is an entertaining show. #titillation

A real sign of what's wrong with this country is that I thought this might be an indie band

Can someone tell my electricity bill this fantastic news please??

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

The amount of e-waste created by Microsoft's policy to drop support for certain CPUs in Windows 11 is basically a crime against humanity.

I've been impressed by Ubuntu, and just don't want to support the Win10/11/Intel upgrade extortion racket, nor indeed support Microsoft et al, where I can avoid that.

I think they are trying to gouge their customers to pay for some of their AI costs, since the product itself isn’t worth paying for.

A 42% increase in the price of #Microsoft 365 @microsoft.com ?! How on *earth* can you justify that. Linux beckons (free, better everything, hard to beat in Linux). And this on top of the appalling productivity and hardware wasting Win 11 'upgrade'. @adammacqueen.bsky.social
