Finally a resolution to the school saga, the ICO issued a decision notice and they upheld my complaint and spent some time on every other area they failed that was technically outside the complaint.

Water company has a new system that sends you a login link. Except it hates my domains so I never get a link to login.
The water companies solution... send out paper bills as the new system won't let you use a username and password.

Someone described Starmer's ascendancy like waiting 5 hours in the cold and the dark for a bus, and when it arrives it drives right past you. They hijacked the place reserved for reversing the Tories damage and served up more Tory.

I do this and also wipe the ML/AI urls within the about:config... the browser can't use "AI" if it doesn't know where the plagiarism machine is located.
But at this point Mozilla saying "Modern AI browser" has me wondering if I'll lose anything important by using Lynx.

It's okay to grieve, and miss your loved ones so bad you cry when you think about them. I'd trade anything to see my son again.
But this isn't real. This is the opposite of humanity, it's a soulless grab by billionaires that want to monetise grief and strip you of memories of family and friends

Looking at the papers and broadcast media today having read the press summary of the Sandie Peggie judgment is wild.
They either haven’t read it or are lying about it.
And then people wring their hands about trust in institutions or bemoan people resorting to social media for news.

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.
