Probably not appropriate but the Reddit channel r/kidsarefuckingstupid is proof positive. Also the lived experience of everyone who remembers being a child. Or has children. Or knows any. Yup.

Children must be educated to understand these things can happen. It happens in Primary School here in Scotland (ages 4 - 11 approx.). If you are technically literate you will also be informing your children when you allow them on devices. A

This is from a government that has consistently waged war on expert opinion, "I think the people in this country have had enough of experts from organisations with acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently

I'd suggest that rather than losing faith in democracy you could look to the spectrum of democracies and see where India's is failing. In the UK we have to turn to the courts to restrain the horrors that our government commit, mor

Why no social media in particular? Is it a blanket ban because there isn't time to talk to them about it or is it simply, in your opinion, too toxic for teenagers, or something else? Why no games on their phones? Is this a way to contr

I don't think QWACs are at all the same as state controlled root certificates. Browsers aren't going to show EV certificates.

In the UK you aren't able to add a fee for using a credit card over another form of payment.

In England the owner doesn't have the deeds, although they may obtain a copy. It's digital with the Land Registry. Scotland, incidentally, has the oldest land registry in the world (1617 CE), the Sasines.

I think there are sources that will give you a kit that can submit environmental data. I've been looking at 'Enviro+' with a Particulate Matter Sensor from Pimoroni or PiHut, for example. Currently out of stock.

"The Shepherd's Life" is a great book, especially if you know the landscape he's farming. It's only a shame that you've now got a spoiler in discovering that he was so very clever and went to Oxford. Otherwise

You can learn how to be better understood as a native speaker without having to go abroad or even speak to a lot of people using English as a second language. In the UK, live in a city like Birmingham, for instance, with a strong local acc

I particularly like, "automating parts of your job". I wish more organisations made that effort. Especially in large financial enterprises I frequently see the same manual jobs being performed every week because they won't ta

Best: in my first role, shadowing an experienced contractor, after I quietly suggested the company was a little disorganized, "Don't worry, they're all like that." Also memorable was in one of my first contract roles fro

I see your jingoistic sensibilities are clouding your thinking. Your political nous is also somewhat lacking, perhaps, if you can't see the power play here.

The Scottish Government has asked the Westminster government to stop dawn raids. You are, perhaps, through mis-placed authoritarianism, missing the bigger picture.

The Home Office said, "suspected offences". Funny that the "Sovreign State" tried this in Scotland, isn't it?

Pejorative comments about the Scottish do not cast you in a very good light.

In the press articles the Home Office is quoted as saying, "suspected offences". A dawn raid is completely abhorrent for anything other than serious crimes. Note that Immigration Enforcement isn't even the police, this is a H

The dawn raid in Glasgow looks a lot like a deliberate provocation from the Westminster government and the Home Office. It was in the First Minister's constituency; it was as the new MSPs (Members of the Scottish Parliament) were being

That's a lot of moving parts. To give me an idea of what's left over, how lightweight are we talking when you say, "2 or 3 light weight Go services"?

We are trying to persuade our government here in Scotland that presumed liability [1] would be very effective. It is common throughout Europe. [1] https://www.cyclelawscotland.co.uk/blog/article/the-time-is-...

You should try cycling in my town. Okay, that's hyperbole but the way the drivers of many vehicles show massive aggression towards cyclists on the roads is narrowing the margin between an accident and a murder.

But can I replace my YubiKey that holds my PGP signing and encryption keys for pass (the UNIX password manager) and signing git commits? PGP does both jobs and YubiKey keeps the key stubs and does my 2FA. Replace all that in one package and
