Looks like the new US advanced education program is in. Doesn't really apply if you're white, male, straight etc.

On the subject of @microsoft.com, they've just updated Outlook for Android and made it sooo much worse! Now, instead of forcing me to swipe unread messages away just two times, now they NEVER go away until I actually do something with them (which I do on my PC) so thanks MS for a sh*t upgrade!

Been a @microsoft.com fan for over 40 years. My desktop runs W11 but configured as W10-like as poss (I use the 'Start 11' start menu). my other PCs will stay W10 despite everything MS says... sure, W11 is better under-the-hood but W10 has a much nicer interface IMO. www.zdnet.com/article/micr...

Congratulations to @pcawdron.bsky.social winning Best Screenplay at a US Festival... weirdly (to my mind) this is just for the screenplay (by Peter's daughter, Sarah) and there's no film. Well done though 👍 environmentalfestival.com/2025/04/03/e...

Despite every other OSs attempts to woo me from it, I've been an enthusiastic user of both DOS & Windows starting back in the mid 80s and switching to IT as a career in '88. To my mind there is no other OS that comes close. Go #microsoft! unlocked.microsoft.com/50th/ #computing #windows

🚨 BREAKING: Brits want trade to be the government’s top priority at the UK-EU reset summit - not just defence. With the cost of living crisis continuing to bite, NEW @yougov.co.uk polling also shows 53% of Brits think closer ties with the EU will drive growth. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If "god" is the ultimate moral arbiter, is there anything a theist would claim as a good action (attributable to religion) that a nonbeliever couldn't? www.youtube.com/shorts/1W61Y...

There's very little positive I can say about this man! I suspect he deserves all the shit that's thrown at him.
