@tdp_org Tell them to use example.org. ICANN can take the hits instead :)

@smashmaster Can't open the tweet... Can you describe it?

@Raspberry_Pi Great, interesting article. About not keeping it online due to power blackouts, perhaps he could use a battery somehow to keep it online. Bit like a UPS - charged all the time until the power goes out and the battery is no longer being charged. Amazing project nonetheless.

@april I must admit, I imagine all of the colours mean something, but from the mock-up on the website it actually makes it more difficult to read in my opinion! Perhaps I am an odd one out though.

@wild1145 I've always been intrigued by these apps, but I am always scared we'll end up with things we don't like that we'd throw away anyway. I think perhaps Greggs is quite a safe one, as I like most meats and doughnuts and things.

@w7voa This is actually really rude imo. Journalists give Twitter the chance to state their case in articles, and this is what they get in return. What a lovely man...

@neil Indeed, they are by far one of the only UK gov departments that seem to care both about companies/organisations and also the layman. Perhaps because most of their staff are in the north (Wimslow), but I may also be biased in that respect! Always answer their emails to either party in a timely manner. But could do with less of a delay on reported GDPR cases (weeks to even get assigned a case officer). Hope it isn't ruined by the gov trying to change DPA!

@neil The ICO's guidance is already pretty easy to understand, but perhaps guidance regarding specific parts of DPA/GDPR might be useful for some admins.

@delroth Ah! Disaster. What about editing with the pen tool? I imagine that must overwrite? Just thinking of all the screenshots I have made on my Pixel. And I hope bird site, Mastodon, WhatsApp, etc. don't use the og files, so this can't be done?

@SecurityWriter I did have one situation where a company and the company that develops for them didn't even reply or thank me, but fixed the issue silently. Why??? 🤷‍♂️ I did have a good experience with this company though, but they didn't want to be named which is fair enough

@Gargron Still excited about Mastodon merchandise... any update? 😄

If you get a moment, please read this brilliant leaked letter from the directors of BBC Singers about BBC funding.

@IceCubesApp I think when designing new features for a client, you should think about two things. 1. The users of your client and 2. the fediverse community as a whole. In the case of this feature, I can't particularly think of a way it benefits either in the long term. It's a nice (and I imagine well coded and well implemented) gimmick, but will real benefit come to either parties? I think not, but perhaps I am wrong.
