* There is a colossal amount of bollocks talked about the GDPR, and a tendency among people who feel passionately about its subject matter to assert that it says things it just doesn’t.

* People forget that PECR exists.

it's my birthday today, and it would be the best birthday if you could share my art around, since my business hasn't really been boomin' lately 💙🍰

I would like one normal interaction with software please.

@cmconseils Gen X and not sure why anyone sees a phone as their primary device. Phone is for communication and when you don't have a real computer within reach.

Websites are hard to use on a phone, typing is much slower, and most of the annoyances of the Internet are aimed at phones. Using a laptop with uBlock Origin avoids 90% of them.

@urlyman @markhburton it's only small gains but I'm hugely excited by the enlargement of Wicken Fen, both in terms of rewetting the peat and restoring biodiversity. More of this please.

Always nice to have options

The entire narrative around "scientists need to learn to be better communicators" is seriously misguided.

Scientists communicate just fine. They communicate with accuracy and purpose. That is a core skill for good science and has been for a very very long time.

We need to stop blaming scientists and recognise that the media landscape is devoid of skills to understand basic science methodology and communication. And absolutely lacks the most fundamental motivations to even bother engaging with real science.

Our society is flooded with misinformation and clickbait. This is not a "science doesn't communicate well enough" problem. Media is no longer about information, it's about entertainment. The solution is not to force scientists onto TikTok. It's great when you see some scientists who happen to be effective on social media or TV... But this is not going to be true for everyone in science and neither should it be. Don't turn science communication into a popularity contest.

You're looking at the wrong end of the horse if you think the solution is just "scientists need to communicate better".

@davey_cakes @CaraBruar I notice you don't actually follow me. Why do you care about the format of my posts? Have they harmed you in some way?

Add an external dependency on LLVM to instantly turn any project into bitrot the moment you stop working on it. Totally won't give someone 5, 10, 15, years into the future a massive headache cause they have to download, configure, compile, and the install (without blowing up there system) a massive dependency.
