5/5 …– needs to be viewed as an unacceptable loss of digital control of the data involved, it’s use and the directions freely left open at any one point.
Digital Sovereignty is slowly becoming a thing.
4/5 …increasingly difficult. After a certain point, the roles of customer and provider become those of hostage and prison guard. A reliance on crucial functions being given over to companies of dubious ethical merit, or run by those who could be described thus – Palantir and Oracle spring to mind…
3/5 Much of the workings of government and business is now firmly in the hands of a few tech giants – Microsoft, Oracle and Amazon among others, and most latterly Palantir. I think we should be looking very hard at what sized hole these companies put us in, such that digging a way out becomes…
2/5 …to run them, where the primary goal is profit and cost-cutting as opposed to providing a solid and reliable service aimed at satisfying the individual and the social needs of the populace.
Let’s now put large scale digital services and infrastructure into the mix.
1/3 Some of this is UK specific, but the general points apply almost anywhere.
As has been amply demonstrated, the ability to fully control and plan out the use of national infrastructure and services such as rail, water supply, national grid etc., is compromised by allowing private companies…
I’m glad to hear there is no physical damage so far. I cannot help but wonder about any additional mental and psychological damage caused by this event, especially to those that suffered in the March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
いつも通り、色彩のコーディネートが素晴らしいです！🎨
Thank you for providing the link. My thoughts are with the good people of Japan.
Iran just posted this video
Moss covers the branches of this mature oak tree, turning it a vivid green colour where caught by the light.

From left to right, all string on a white table top – a green cup containing coffee and with a Kintsugi style mend in the handle, with two slices of toast with butter and preserve, and a jar of Mackays Rhubarb and Ginger Preserve.
This morning’s breakfast. Toast with rhubarb and ginger preserve with fresh brewed coffee.
The SEAT as mentioned. White paintwork with anthracite wing mirrors, and looking from the front down the drivers side. This was a photo taken at the SEAT dealer in 2017.
The old SEAT Leon ST TDI 184 has gone. We got nine years of excellent service from it, but with the trajectory of my knees and hips, the slightly lowered suspension was going to make entry and exit gradually more difficult.
As a former Duck Swearing Allocation and Monitoring Manager I willingly offer my full support. Hint: Clench the teeth towards the swearing crescendo.
日本の都市や町、村の裏通りを歩くことが本当に恋しいです。 心が切なくなっていますが、財布に「いいえ！」と書かれています。😔😂

Whoever is making those Iranian Lego videos should be hired to do a Trump version of Hamilton. (I detest the regime but their PR is deliciously surgical).
A host brain utterly crushed by the dead weight of its own gargantuan ego.
The charge of the Light Brigade.
Yep. It puts the whole thing on a commercial, transactional level and feels a little sordid. No interest at least mitigates this a little.
Public education should not be subject to any loans, interest or payment. At worst, a means tested grant to enable a smooth and stable transition through University irrespective of background. That’s it.
自然がすべての栄光を誇示することを許すだけで、ニュースに対する解毒剤となります。 ありがとうございます！😊
A tree on the left side of the track, with no branches protruding from the right side of the trunk. It’s as if someone has run a giant comb through the branches, dragging them to the left. The teach curves to the left beyond the tree and is flanked by trees and bushes on the right and open fields on the left.
A dead tree wallowing in a pool beside the track. The distorted limbs of the tree are reflected in the pool. Open, flat and waterlogged ground lies beyond.
Looking eastwards from the path over a pool and waterlogged ground towards the hills in the distance. A low mountain with faint traces of snow is furthest away and is capped by a band of cloud.
Brilliant trees, a great view but also no David Sylvian. Walking along the track from Buchlyvie to Gartmore.
It’s the ‘concentrate on sales, not the quality of the product’ angle. The Ratnerisation of Labour.
It’s just utter bollocks isn’t it? Even if it were possible, it would last 30 minutes at most, then he’d switch to something else like a bluebottle deciding which pile of shit to land on.
ウェンブリーでイングランドに勝った日本、よくやりました。 現在スコットランドに住んでいるので、私にとっては全く問題ありません。🤣
Looking down from the path towards a pool part filled with rushes. The pool reflects the cloudless, intense blue sky and beyond but hidden lies Loch Lomond. The distant hills are part covered by a ribbon of cloud.
Zoomed in on the far hills with the ribbon of cloud. The rear edge of the pool containing the rushes is in the foreground.
Conic Hill, which rises up from Balmaha, is seen in the distance protruding above the forest into which the path we are on leads. A grey, leafless and largely branchless tree trunk is on the right, a few metres away from the path edge.
A view along the path where it bifurcates to the left and right. The right leads to Conic Hill, seen on the right in the distance. The left path leads to Milton of Buchanan or Buchanan Smithy

A bit of a sad day. As a former resident of Hull for nigh on 50 years, I’d ventured into the Adelphi club numerous times, both as a consumer and a player of music. The old saying of “It’s like a piece of you is now missing.” feels entirely relevant.
