Friday.
My personal email has an outage. i'm not particularly bothred inasmuch as I think messages won't be lost, but it's the first one that's actually impacted me during the day time since I moved to my current mail provider over 11 years ago.
Work is ticking on, I am hopping between Slack, Jira and OBS like a particularly well-caffeinated accessibility specialist. I do wish I could use Jira on the CLI, though.
Weekend is nearly here, in fact I only have 2 more hours to go today.
next week is a shorter workweek as our annual holiday entitlements reset in April and I had hours left over, so booked Thursday and Friday for the next fortnight off. One of these has turned into a shopping trip for the daughter, who happens to be off school at the same time. Another will be a book in bed day with the new Peter Cawdron.

To kick off the weekend, said daughter and I intend on watching The Electric State.

This dumb password rule is from TreasuryDirect.

Will allow most passwords longer than 8 characters. Doesn't tell you there is a
maximum length of 16 characters. Then forces you to type it with an on-screen keyboard
with no capital letters.

#Canada should immediately cancel all 88 of our F-35 fighter plane orders, as they should be considered compromised computers-on-wings that can be disabled as soon as our friends decide to invade us.

We should join the EU, buy a couple of Typhoons and get involved in co-developing the FCAS NGF for starters.

Then, stealth noodles.
This video provides the recipe to rebuild both our advanced aerospace industry AND food industry, by designing our own interceptor #noodles:

I really like the backup function in #GrapheneOS based on #Seedvault. I know it doesn't work 100%, some apps don't support it etc. But in my case >90% of apps get backed up and restored.

This is what all Androids should have. I understand #Google doesn't want to do it because for them #Android is just a gateway to their services and when you have all your data in their cloud, you don't need such backups. But other Android vendors should have it.

in reply to Jiří Eischmann

as long as apps can decide if they want certain data to be part of the back up, this solution won't help the majority of users.
Everything , images, app settings, app data, login sessions, encryption keys, connected wifis&passwords, calendar, contacts, et cetera has to be inside an encrypted backup.
I want 100% not 95% of the data back when my phone crashed or i buy a new one.

Yay I’m listening to my second favourite #WarMaster box set, “Killing Time” - 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 doesn’t feel like the overplayed #BigFinish tactic of chucking random characters together.

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

Internet Archive has a lot of recordings of sound effects records from the 78 rpm era:

I didn't find the legendary Columbia YB-20, but I'm sure it's around

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.
