I wondered if they could connect it to Waze as potholes locations are recorded on there. There must be other apps too 🤔
Right gang - I see some of you have your work brains re-engaged - I'm looking for recommendations of blogposts about why the Service Standard has been so important and how to embed it in a teams ways of working.
I have the classics but looking for a refresh for a talk.
Thanks and Happy New Year 🥳

Screenshot of the front cover of the digital zine "DIY web archiving", which has large-sized text stating: "Things disappear from the internet. Care about stuff on the web? You need to act to archive it. Anyone can do it—this zine shows you how."
#ICYMI folks w/deep experience re:crisis web archiving (@sucho-org.bsky.social)+building tools for it (@webrecorder.net) made a free zine teaching how anyone can archive the things you love on the web before they go away: zinebakery.com/homemade-zin... & why you shouldn't expect others will do so
Fantastic to attend Women in Data #WID Still amazes me that #data is not routinely split by gender resulting in harms for everyone.
Big job leading the UK Government's "mission to better use its data as part of the National Data Strategy":

The case is part of a wave of lawsuits against OpenAI and other tech companies by authors, visual artists, music publishers and other copyright owners over the data used to train their generative AI systems. A lawsuit filed by The New York Times against OpenAI in December was the first from a media outlet. Unlike similar lawsuits, Raw Story and AlterNet's complaint accused OpenAI of unlawfully removing their articles' copyright management information (CMI) without arguing that it infringed their copyrights. McMahon agreed with OpenAI that the claims should be dismissed. "Let us be clear about what is really at stake here," McMahon said. "The alleged injury for which Plaintiffs truly seek redress is not the exclusion of CMI" but the "use of Plaintiffs' articles to develop ChatGPT without compensation."
