I just like that he pulled out all these stops and then they were beaten roundly by a team wearing a kit in trans colours.

UK Tax returns have gone digital, which is fine in principle. What is not fine is that pretty much only paid solutions are acceptable for submitting a return.

If electronic tax returns are mandatory, the government should be providing a cost-free means. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/769610#action

(Hats off to a couple of people I follow that first raised this.)

Interesting. Nikon is testing if there is a market for cameras that are normally only sold as special version to governments etc. „The Z6 III (No Wireless Connectivity) camera is identical to the standard Z6 III, except it lacks a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips and is completely incapable of wireless communication with any device, including a smartphone.“

About 25 years ago I took a picture in the Athens underground that ended up becoming an album cover on Cactus Island records – a label run partly by Steve Broca. His real name is Steve Davis (but not *that* Steve Davis, hence the artist name Broca).

Google AI is having a completely normal one over the details.

Britain is currently running on an electricity generation mix that is over 90% renewables. The amount generated is in fact 112% of demand and the rest is being exported. That means that, were it not for the need to currently keep gas running to provide frequency and voltage stability, the country could technically be running on wind, solar and a bit of hydro.

@rgarner I miss the days when I didn't need to be constantly checking for shit that I need to turn off.
