Yay Iā€™m listening to my second favourite #WarMaster box set, ā€œKilling Timeā€ - i know that sounds like a backhanded compliment but #MasterOfCallous is practically a whole level to itself in excellence - my favourite aspect is the interplay with Calantha, but the guest appearances of Jo and Nyssa also work incredibly well. It doesnā€™t feel like the overplayed #BigFinish tactic of chucking random characters together.

Iā€™ve said it before (Iā€™ll definitely say it again) but I do love me the misery of the war master being a fiendish, machiavellan, magnificent bastard. #DoctorWho

Cover art for the war master - killing time. Characters in the cover are guest caharacter Calantha, the war master, Jo grant and Nyssa

The PHP project has put out the call for release manager volunteers for PHP 8.5!

Candidates should be confident about merging pull requests without breaking BC, doing bug triage, liaising with previous RMs, and getting the branch in good shape. At least one candidate should be a core dev who can assess more technical PR's. Others do not need to have deep knowledge of internals but should understand above mentioned points.

Reply on the mailing list to volunteer.

Was looking forward to reading this article by @bemyeyes and, lo and behold, there is no heading markup for the title, no landmarks, no nothing to make it easy to get to the actual article. The first heading is some bottom menu thing and the only landmark is the navigation bar. Come on, guys. Your company literally exists to help with accessibility. Headings are as basic as it gets, at least for screenreader users.Do better.

šŸ“£ Make it public!

The call is getting louder for a public hearing of the appeal over the UK's order to break Apple encryption.

Alongside the joint letter from ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship, UK MPs, US Congress Members and the BBC want the secrecy to end.

The message is clear across the political divide: let's hear it!

The UK government should argue in open court why they want to make us less secure by ordering a backdoor into Apple encryption.

A secret Tribunal would be an affront to the privacy and security issues at stake. It must be held in public.

šŸ“£ Break the silence: Save encryption!

The UK government wants to be able to access anything, anywhere, any time ā€” from your pics to your docs.

It begins with Apple. Other services will be next. That's why we must take a stand NOW!

Keep our Apple data encrypted

It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud. Encryption keeps our private information safe and secure.

Great to be able to make @OpenForumEurope earlier this year. I couldnā€™t attend all the talks, so it is terrific that the videos are now available online.

Very encouraging to see so many #government leaders working with #OpenSource leaders collaborating together.

Hi, @MapComplete !

I'm checking the Restaurants and fast food in my area and noted that it's very outdated vs #OpenStreetMap data.

mapcomplete.org/food.html?z=17ā€¦

openstreetmap.org/#map=19/40.7ā€¦

There shows two restaurants that I removed some months ago and lacks another added about one month ago.

Could be something at my side or map items are updated from time to time?
