UK’s Online Safety Act is a load of shite the way it’s been implemented with no properly regulatory oversight or standards on user data. Already paid Bumble — Who in their right mind wants to send their passport / ID to some garbage American company? I mean that all sounds totally safe doesn’t it?

I have little faith any of these plans will save the money they say it will, or even that it will help any. But the constant focus on £££ is just unhelpful when so much is broken to support people actually getting work and support.

Tinkering around the edges is a good way of looking at it.

Like many I’ve had worry & sleepless nights over the #WelfareReforms announced by the DWP, in particular w/ #PIP.

In reality the changes are less extreme than we were led to believe. In the aftermath there is hysteria from the likes of Scope, DPOs and charities that are incredibly damaging.

This government is disgusting. We’ve had 15 years of austerity and now they are coming for the disabled because there’s nothing left to cut.

Oh I love those ones. They probably claim that going on LinkedIn during their work hours to shitpost is legitimate work, as well.

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Feb 20

I really need to follow more accounts on this thing. How do I get started? 🤔

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Feb 20

Oh yeah that’s another one 😆

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Feb 20

So; my PC’s gone for repair.
New CPU, new fans.

I set up a local admin account but they need the password - not pin - to get in. To install software for the fans apparently. Guess they really want me to have the RGB.

A bit buggered because I’m not even sure what it is. let’s see what happens.

Other annoying LinkedIn-isms

“Commenting for reach”
“This is so important”

… I love the irony that nobody is commenting on this thread 😂

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Feb 20

You can almost guarantee, when somebody posts a job on #LinkedIn, there is always at least one moron that replies “Great opportunity”, as if it has any substance bringing the post into their feed.

Using Microsoft Edge and the MSN news portal frequently shows me a lot of hateful, vile articles from Birmingham Mail. They clearly don’t like people on PIP.

I’m sure it’s because I took the heatsink off 😂

I might look to replace at some point, but also need a network drive as well, a decent size one is a couple hundred.

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Jan 9

Ah, that must be the HOF list of managers?? Get yourself to the top of the game’s hall of fame.

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Jan 8

Ah it was Samsung pro evo 990.

Considering myself relatively settled now in my new home, so on to dating apps I go… and it’s terribly depressing to be dating on the wrong side of 30.

The enclosure? It’s a dock that fits the base of the Mac Studio. Lots of knock off types flying around you can get them reasonably priced on Amazon

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Jan 6

It’s either defective or my enclosure one is. I’ll need to test it on something else; but not in any rush. Bit annoying it’s money potentially wasted.

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Jan 6

I’m glad I didn’t put it somewhere else in the end. And I’m avoiding using the garage until I can convert it.

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Jan 6

Yeah. Ripped off the cupboard on the wall to make room for it. Haven’t missed having the cupboard so far; but putting a shelf in or two in to make up for it.

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Jan 6

Bought a Satechi dock for my Mac Studio a year ago. Comes with a m2 ssd enclosure.

Bought ssd today, but it’s got a heatsink. Whoops. Should have returned it but in haste I removed the heatsink and connected it up.

Doesn’t work. Joy.

Lucas @lucasweatherby.com · Jan 6

The decorating is still to be done (I need to order a couple of shelves), and get the fuse box looked at.

The greatest - is there no description? FM or FM Console?

Pleased that dignity in dying has won the first hurdle in the Assisted Dying bill. A victory for personal freedom and the right to choose.

Had WWE Network since day 1. Cancelled before I get charged £10 for about 3 days content.

Probably could have saved money as I’ve barely watched it in the last couple years with moving house.

Hope the archive content pops up on Netflix in Jan.

WWE Network cancelled

On Friday my Granddad of 91 passed away, a week after having a fall. He’d have been 92 on 15th December. I’d written a message for him on my Facebook, but I wanted to share here too how special he was to me, and to my family.

Granddad I’ll miss you, and I love you. RIP. 🎗️

#Charity and Ethics always an interesting discussion. I’ve no doubt there’s corruption, fraud & self interest in the whole #CaptainTom saga. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It always felt perverse & bizarre it became a thing. Old man, lapping on a zimmer to raise money for a publicly funded service.

'I was shocked' by Captain Tom charity, says ex-boss

The former chief executive of the Captain Tom Foundation tells the BBC he uncovered what he considered questionable practices.
