When they go "yo", we go "hi".
Hmm. @NortonLifelock says a site I have worked on is a "known dangerous site". (It has been scanned etc: it's not dangerous.) Tried to sign up and verify the site: got an error message. Clicked the feedback link to ask for help: another error message. Nothing works. Unimpressed.

Feeling equal parts nervous and excited about my upcoming session in the ABCD unConference: The story of SPiCE-Y: a community-led development youth group. So keen to introduce you all to the cool young people I get to work with. See you soon! #ABCD2021 #ABCDGlobal

WordPress.org just closed my #WordPress plugin, citing trademark infringement. But they didn't tell me what trademark was infringed or whose it was. This seems draconian, or is it just an error? #WordPressDevelopment

Great idea to make news reporting more universally accessible. In particular it would be good to get more young people reading the news.

I'm thinking we need a more friendly Kiwi accent for the Covid alerts. I reckon the Briscoes lady would be good. What do you think @jacindaardern?

Government should authorize/back the actions of business owners. They are the ones who really have a dog in this fight and THEY are the ones who are going to have to do most of the enforcing. If we have to go into another lockdown THEY are the ones it hurts most.
Are you surrounded by fools and non-entities, by boring people ... creeps, stuck-up snobs, bubbleheaded party kids, smug assholes, and, indeed, jerks? If this is how the world regularly looks to you, then I have bad news. Likely, you are the jerk. getpocket.com/explore/item/h…
