Stumbled onto this on Reddit..I mean, these are good questions 🤣

woohoo Bluesky on iPad!

Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

This is a brilliant resource about vulnerabilities and the speed at which they are exploited zerodayclock.com

At work I've been asked to approve something for somoene in my team, and the approval request includes a new field: "Beneficiary Type: Human" 🤖

Eugh. Underlining one “the” and “for”, but not the other “the”. Don’t get me started on “picky bits”, which is the world’s most pathetic translation of “tapas”

Is Altman going to be so laid back about AI-driven attacks on banks if it’s his bank account that gets drained? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Just bought a “salad” from Salad Project and I swear it weighs at least a kilogram

It makes sense that a lot of AI-generated code is duplication. Every time, I end up spending quite a few iterations telling agents to remove duplicate/redundant code. Engineers should be encouraged to use their own expertise to spot/prevent code that smells bad! thenewstack.io/ai-coding-du...

If Lisa Nandy really thinks X is a “disgrace”, when is the government going to stop using it? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Oh! Excited to see that Dame Sarah Storey is on #strictly this year! Did I ever mention I had a coffee with her in Mallorca once? 🤩 😀

Great opportunity in @carmatrocity.bsky.social's team for #Kubernetes platform engineers! Job listing says San Jose but could be other locations US/UK for the right candidate. Check it out! careers.cisco.com/global/en/jo...

Join me and @mauilion.dev on Friday when we’ll try protecting CI/CD using Tetragon and #eBPF youtube.com/live/rvrNJyP...

There’s tons of talk about sovereignty in cloud computing. In this context I keep hearing it pronounced to rhyme with “serenity”. Right number of syllables, one of them moved a bit

Any other Blueskyers here at @fwdcloudsec.org London IRL? 👋

What are Wise (fka Transferwise) playing at that it's going to take them till at November to generate tax statements? Initially was June, then August, now pushed back to November. Surely it's all automated?

Just saw an advert using She Sells Sanctuary, and realised it must be about 40 years old. When it came out that would have been like having ad using music from Vera Lynn

Genius name for the vehicle retailer right next to the prominent “Adult Store” on the A12: OnlyVans

🪫Anyone else finding that their #iPhone is draining battery a lot faster than usual? Mine has been going into adaptive power mode every day for at least the last week or so and barely makes it through the day without a recharge, even though battery health is reported as 100%

@theinformation.com writing about “unobtrusive” note-taking apps as if having your conversations recorded without your consent is OK. It is not.

After two weeks in a beautifully clean Japan, the amount of rubbish strewn all over the place in Enfield is quite upsetting. Why do people think it’s OK to just throw cigarette butts and sweet wrappers on the ground? 😢

Clacton bin day leaflet, make sure the local Facebook and tiktok groups have a copy

Is there an easy way to turn an Album in Apple photos into a Shared Album? I can’t find it, and this seems like something loads of people would want to do, no?

Great crowd, good questions! 🇯🇵🙏❤️

Even more sadly, the back of the KubeCon Japan badge mentions only X for “connect with us” 😢

eBee and I are ready for #KubeCon Japan - Keep Cloud Native Moving! @cncf.io

Sumo! Here’s crowd favourite Ura

Cilium is just 200 GitHub stars away from 25k - can we pass that milestone while we’re at #kubecon Japan next week? GitHub.com/cilium/cilium ⭐️

I’m doing a talk about protecting GitHub actions with #eBPF and Tetragon at #kubecon Japan next week. Come say hello (or こんにちは!) if you’re there!

From now on let’s all call potato wedges “Moon Potato”!

Did a double take here, thinking @countbinface.bsky.social campaigning had reached as far as Tokyo!

Someone takes a lot of care over these biscuit jars. I wonder if they do this every day? How long does it take for folks to reach the bottom layer? So many questions! #britishairways

A long-overdue update about goings-on at the CNCF GB! www.linkedin.com/pulse/apolog...

Binface vs … fishface?

Security folks: do we like the term "shift down" for putting runtime security policies and mitigations into the kernel (as contrasted with "shift left" for putting security checks earlier in the CI/build process)?

Channel 5 have #tourdefrance highlights, which is great news! I don’t think we’d have paid through the nose for TNT Sports if we had realised. Couldn’t stand listening to Carlton banging on for a whole live stage, and TNT are atrocious at publishing cycling highlights

Beautiful pictures in this “Women of Pembroke” series from my old college @pembroke1347.bsky.social. (I’m not in it but I do recognise a few faces!) jooneywoodward.co.uk/project/the-...
