AI voice cloning scam calls – where scammers can record your voice to make an AI clone of it and then use that to scam your relatives. 👇 Presumably even your outgoing voicemail greeting might be enough for them to use if you don't answer their call. I've just deleted mine. 👀

I took my 8-year-old daughter to the office on 'Take Your Kid To Work Day'. But when we walked in the office she started to cry. As concerned staff gathered round I asked her what was wrong and she said: "Daddy where are all the clowns you said you worked with?"

Help! I’m looking for an expert in neurodiversity (in adults, in the workplace) to come and do a talk and raise awareness. Does anyone know someone who can do this? 🙏

Zoom need to make it so that if your dog or cat is on your lap, they're not blurred as part of the 'blur background' setting. I want to see your dogs and cats!

Stop eating your lunch at your desk. Go and have an actual proper lunch break. Nobody gives a shit that you keep working on your lunch break, least of all your boss. It's not going to get you a promotion, but it is going to burn you out.

Saying somebody “will be missed” is so passive and inauthentic, like there’s a silent “but not by me” at the end. If it was heartfelt it would be “I will miss them” or “many of us will miss them”. Same with saying “my apologies” instead of “I’m sorry”.

This is my life now. Thanks @anthropic.com 🤦‍♂️

Looks like Starbug broke down in Basingstoke. Thankfully the AA are on hand to recover the ship!

Shout out to everyone writing end-of-year team feedback. The end is in sight. Stay strong 🖤

Stuck in another bugfixing loop with Claude AI 😞 I’m not a coder so I think what it can do is incredible… until it’s not.

Blue Sky? Nostalgic? It's bringing back that 90s vibe with this track, Blue Skies from Longpigs… www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnbC...

Spent a little time today creating a BlueSky sidebar extension for Firefox. Still need to iron out some bugs and make it possible to interact with posts in it (it's view-only at the moment), but this could be nice 🙂

First time in a long time tinkling the old ivo… strings I’m not any good, but I enjoy it.
