I'll post my annual eduroam advice again:
1. *ALWAYS* check your username first. It *MUST* be in email-style format (like [email protected]). Otherwise eduroam doesn't know where you belong!
1. a) Yes, on campus you might find that just 'your_id' works, but that's *bad* configuration!

How long before the genocidal state turns around and starts arresting and snatching Palestinians off the streets of West Bank (given the peace plan likely only mentions Gaza and not West Bank)? Yes, I'm *that* cynical. Netanyahu cannot be trusted. Neither can Ben-Gvir.

If CloudFlare says "they dropped off the interwebs like someone pulled the plug", then that's probably what happened, or someone killed their BGP routes with something and they... well... dropped off the interwebs. Not a good look for "the UK's most trusted mobile network" or whatever the guff is.

You should go and see what Gary Stevenson (from the UK, was an investment banker for a long time and now is a crusader for social equality because he's seen both sides) has to say. I think you and him are thinking along the same lines. :-)

"Journalistic material" - Riiiiiiiight, pull the other one, Yaxley-Lennon. If you're a journalist, I'm Britney fucking Spears in boy drag. And I say this as someone who actually *was* a one. And let me guess... that Bentayga was yours that you bought with your grift. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Cut Throat Trial by @barristersecret.bsky.social is a superb legal thriller. I loved the drip feed approach by using the perspectives of different actors in the trial. It manages to be pacy, gripping, shocking, and yet, truly believable.

I’ve been recommending it to everyone.

What Pete says… sounds more like “we don’t really want to pay for therapy, so we’ll whore ourselves out in the hope that the paper will pay for it before we file for divorce.

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

I’m afraid that if you emigrate to Dubai for the tax breaks and 24-hour security, you really should give up your citizenship here for someone who wants it.

“In interviews, federal judges called the Supreme Court’s emergency orders “mystical,” “overly blunt,” “incredibly demoralizing and troubling” and “a slap in the face to the district courts.” …Another said the courts were in the midst of a “judicial crisis.””

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:
A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues. An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”. An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg. An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.
