Your regular reminder that, when I am dictator of the world, if your word processing software doesn't DEFAULT to having page numbers turned on, you're getting locked in the tower
Incredibly frustrating work debugging task. Some automation is deleting a git branch from my gitlab repository, almost as soon as I push/create it. Almost certainly RHTAP but there's a maddening shortage of logs to check.
My PhD thesis has been published: https://theses.ncl.ac.uk/jspui/handle/10443/6607
Cheers Thunderbird, for seemingly intersposing random HTML in my email headers:

Luckily I can clean this up with mutt (many other mail clients are downright refusing to show me the messages)

@lp0_on_fire @srtcd424 @revk I can't go within a click of that place at this time of year without feeling uneasy. Or Northumberland Street.
@jzb I’ve just started watching “shrinking” and I’m really enjoying it
Re BR, I’d probably always put the Final Cut on now, for me.

Bought a Pi 3A+ (for Amiga PiStorm). First testing it works. Yes. Composite video out, too! Looks horribly lovely. Would be fun to play with glitching it
@neil @penguin42 those can be worked around trivially (by users or exploits) so it’s not a safety feature just an inconvenience
@pndc true: but one of the dramatic personae does as you describe :)
@pndc haha definitely not (pertinent given some other news today)
In and around 2023, Roy and Rianne Schestowitz were subject to a horrific campaign of online harassment. Unfortunately they blamed me for it, and in turn wrote and published an astonishing array of articles making false accusations against me. Last year, I sued them in the high court in London. In turn, they countersued me for harassment. The case was heard last month and I'm pleased to say that the counterclaim was dismissed and I prevailed in my case. The court awarded me £70,000 in damages.
@lproven @theregister yeah, and sadly it's a particular egregious one, where to opt-out of everything you have to scroll and click 10 or so separate things.
Just realised I've spent 20 years in Academia training my Spam filter that "Dr Dowland" was a sure sign of junk, and that's no longer true!
