I spend a lot of time online. This means a few things: 1) I'm familiar with the phrase "go touch grass". 2) I need to go touch some fucking grass. 3) I'm shocked that the domain touchinggrass.co.uk was available!

If the Open Source Initiative insists on publishing an Open Source AI definition, the definition must require Open Source AI Systems to include the release of complete corresponding training data under an open license. 🧵5/6

I will be at @oggcamp in Manchester on 12th-13th Oct. Message me if you'll be there and want to chat Yocto, U-Boot, Linux kernel or anything vaguely related. Especially early-mid career or hobbyists looking to do more open source work in these areas. #OpenSource #OggCamp2024

This may be a controversial view but I don't see a vote as an endorsement myself.

I'd still rather be fighting a Labour government than a Tory government. I still think the outcomes for vulnerable people will be better under a Labour government than a Tory government.

I live in a safe Labour seat so I'm free to vote Green without the risk of the Tories or Reform getting a seat. But for anyone in a seat with a real risk of a Tory/Reform win, I strongly advocate for tactical voting, even if you feel you need to take a shower afterwards!

This is the ticket tout business model, and we all know ticket touts are cunts. It's a pure attempt at profiteering by @GoDaddy @Undeveloped. Just another reason to never use them for domain registration!

I'm seriously considering opening a dispute with Nominet over @godaddy @undeveloped hoarding a domain name matching my legal name purely so they can extract a toll for it. It feels like an abusive domain name registration to me.

I've been watching the status of the domain paulbarker.co.uk for a while. It expired in March and was in a holding period with the registry. #DomainNames #Domains #GoDaddy

I checked on Saturday morning and it was still unavailable for purchase. I checked today to find it was purchased saturday evening by @GoDaddy @Undeveloped, purely to park it for resale. They want me to "make an offer" of at least $99.00 which is not guaranteed to be accepted.
