I'm hiring a Perl developer to help finish up Bugzilla 6. Click the link for details.

Appalled by @asda service this morning, we had 18! people in the queue waiting for their click and collect George orders for over 45 minutes.. only after a number of us complained to the service desk did someone saunter along and deal with the queue slowly and without apology!
π I'm sponsoring @bugzilla because it's a worthwhile project that's not getting enough love. #kohails use it extensively, as such it's a daily part of my workflow. github.com/sponsors/bugzillaβ¦

My friend has a different disposable income to me.
Our kids play together and have been friends for some time.
One of her kids asked why their cousin got so much more than them at Christmas. He asked if they are very poor.
She used my kids as an example. Do they get excessive amounts of gifts? Nope! Could we afford it, yes but we don't feel it's the right thing to do.
They had a big talk about why people overspend on black friday, at birthdays or Christmas when in reality that adds to family pressure.
Christmas is about being together and not going wild. Unless of course it involves Christmas lights. π€£ππ
I felt I was on the right path when she used us as an example. Even if you can afford it, most of it is plastic rubbish that ends up in landfill! There's more ways to enjoy yourself than overspending!
Time to agree to ban unnecessary Christmas presents, the best gift may be not buying anyone anything. Watch & share if you agreeβ¦

UK authorities can't even secure their own data. How dare they undermine encryption with the Online Safety Bill?
Here is how you can fight for #privacy with us! β

The Doctrine of Charity asks us to assume virtuous intent. To assume the best of others.
When someone says something, what is the best they could have meant (instead of assuming the worst)?
When someone is failing to deliver is there something else going on?
