cloudflare's on-duty IT staff bangs on the doors which I have padlocked from the inside as I calmly break open lava lamp after lava lamp and drink the contents

Have written an #AtoZQuiz to host on #twitter main timeline under the hashtag at 9pm GMT tonight. Any further problems with DNS over there and we may move it over here.

Whole point of the internet was that it was distributed and did not have a single point of failure. Capitalism has reversed this so that when a monopoly falls over, everything in the domain goes down at once.

one thing that i like about bsky.app (the app infra) is that it's hosted on actual machines owned by them so it's not dependant on cloudflare and other cloud providers, really stands out in moments like this

seems like cloudflare is down so you might not be able to access deck.blue since it's hosted on cloudflare pages

What does this mean to those whose jobs are to teach people to write cover letters? Or those who have to read them? If AI can read the letters do we need people any more? And what about those of us for whom writing is a craft?
The rise of AI means that jobseekers can now produce a perfectly targeted cover letter at the touch of a button. A new paper works out what this means for the labour market
How AI is breaking cover letters
And leading to lower pay
