I realise this is a pretty superficial reason, but which language has the best television series and movies to watch?
I feel I could learn something if there was a motivating thing to keep watching

@nprofile1q... and if the Houthis are able to close the Red Sea again https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/27/us-expects-iran-operation-to-end-in-weeks-not-months-says-marco-rubio
It seems appropriate today to highlight the call by Wendy Hall for more females to get involved in computer science...
Numbers of females being educated in computing has halved in the last 10 years,...
@nprofile1q... and we need to destroy the structures that drive women out of computing later in their careers https://www.codio.com/blog/taking-a-closer-look-at-the-pipeline-problem
@nprofile1q... would you have to go home immediately to get it?
I'm just wondering if there's an opportunity for malicious compliance here. You could have a travel buddy

I wish I had a task system that actually meant that I did the tasks in it.
All the ones I've tried (and I've tried so many and so many times) are great when they are novel, but then there comes a bit where they fall apart and I struggle to pick them up again.
Even if I maintain them the queues just get longer and filled with things that don't make sense any more and don't get pruned and new things might go on but get ignored and then eventually I stop checking.
I had thought that declaring task bankruptcy more frequently would help, but I even stopped doing that.
I'll still react to deadlines (mostly), and meetings are good ways of getting me to do stuff (either getting prepared or in the meeting), but I've just not really found anything sustainable for me.
Ugh.

Because the element of coercion and a complete disregard for consent is now an integral part of how the industry works, but that's a topic for another day.
@nprofile1q... I do wonder how much of the disregard of consent is an artifact of being owned by the Epstein Class and the wannabes making this seem normal and grown up
Drookit after cycling across Dundee to deliver some Freecycle stuff. At least it forced me to go on a bike ride. #BikeTooter
It's still snowing and some roads are now impassable around here.
