@fanf@mendeddrum.org I use one called Ice Cubes which I don’t dislike. I’d be interested to know if you find a different one that you really like.
I saw an invitation to an upcoming women in telecoms event and wanted to share: https://commscouncil.uk/women-in-telecoms/ We all benefit when our industry becomes more representative. I’ve seen it myself: the best decisions come from rooms where not everyone thinks the same way. Better outcomes for our users, more robust strategies for our businesses. So events like this matter — share it with someone who should be in the room.

@jess@blop.social Yes https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/electronic though I think this is highly incomplete as I think dr_bob saw “Electronic” and Peter Hook at some “it’s all the same innit” gig about 20 years ago.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk Big yes. Their former CTO left there to become CTO @ ebuyer back when I worked there. Weirdly we never talked search but it was before I’d developed the necessary skills in appropriate amounts of curiosity.
Facts. This chart is missing one extra case: you google the error message and find your own blog/usenet post/etc from a few years ago. Happened to me when at ebuyer years ago, when I had some megaraid cards that never worked that well with Linux; fortunately the post contained a fix. The earliest clue that my own memory is terrible.

@RadishTM@mastodon.social Chin up, lad, overnight the most reform-y councils counted and whilst it’s a shitshow and I don’t recognise many of my fellow countrymen again this morning, the ratio should improve as today progresses.

@Pionir@masto.bike @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us No, they would look at return on capital employed, what the change would do to improve the ability of the business to generate free cash flow, effect on enterprise value.

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us @Pionir@masto.bike That’s where I am too. So I think MW is a factor
Regrettably I am at this stage of, “the washing machine has failed”.
Ofcom blocks Openreach’s “Incremental New to OR” offer: up to £9.50/month per full fibre customer above an ISP’s normal sign-up rate, aimed at the connections altnets are winning instead. Right call.
It shouldn’t have been proposed at all.
Mutualise Openreach: If OR were a mutual owned by its ISP customers, BT included, this idea doesn’t survive its first meeting. The discount would be their own money, spent making their other suppliers less viable.

It’s a great idea to simplify best path selection and remove the origin evaluation.

@jess@blop.social @boggits@mastodon.social You have to keep a straight face when using the sentence “Well, I live in a wine growing region” in a wine conversation with proper wine people.
Big up Renishaw Hall for their fizzy fun. Cheers.

@jess@blop.social @boggits@mastodon.social Renishaw is my fave English sparkling. Sheffield’s other wine, whirlow hall/phoenix, you have my permission to skip it.

@Pionir@masto.bike @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us please can you help me understand your point of view with a worked example? I can’t get past “increasing MW increases _viability_ and impetus of more business cases that call for investment in automation through the use of advanced technology to replace human effort”, and want to understand what I am missing.

@pndc@social.treehouse.systems I’m fascinated by politicians that wouldn’t come up with a plan / vision that extends beyond their term. Isn’t short termism the problem?
