"LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall has appointed a new chair who wants to 'get the UK back on track as the world leader for LGBTQ+ equality'.

On Tuesday (17 October), the charity announced that Cat Dixon – Stonewall’s longest serving trustee and formerly vice chair – had been unanimously elected as chair by the board of trustees."

Obviously, there's only so much one organisation can do, especially when the ruling party is overtly fascist, and the "opposition" can barely distinguish itself from them, but if Cat Dixon can follow through and taking genuinely wholehearted stances against the UK government's ongoing "war on woke", perhaps we can begin to see all these timid MPs begin to muster the "courage" to embrace equality, and make the UK a welcoming place for queer folk of all stripes.

The FBI, NSA, CISA, and UK National Cyber Security Centre all recommend adblocking as a protective measure.

You'd never disable your firewall or antivirus because a site asked you to. NEVER DO THIS WITH YOUR ADBLOCKER.

That's the only pertinent point here. Everything else is noise.

The year is 2030.

Computers boot directly into the browser. IDEs are just a web app now, running in the GPU. No one knows why. Or how.

All programs run in 4 nested containers on top of a hypervisor abstracting over the 5 major computational clouds. The last time a branch was predicted correctly, in any CPU anywhere, was 4 years ago.

Cloud costs are withdrawn directly from your retirement fund.

Ext7 just came out, it's written in Javascript and uses AI to guess what the file may contain.
