Polar bear!

Yesterday, I did a thing that I was scared of doing.

It took 10 minutes, and for the first five or so, my pulse was racing like nobody's business.

But I did the thing!

Don't see the is as "a wobbling pile of unread books by my bed", but rather "me saving these books from being destroyed to feed a slop generator".

Another interesting #OnlineSafetyAct update from Ofcom, which might form part of a future reform of the Act.

# What happens when a company doesn’t pay a fine

It acknowledges the complexity if encoring a UK issued fine against an overseas provider, and goes on to say:

> we do not have the legal powers to apply to block a site in the UK for failure to pay a fine alone. For us to be able to apply to a court for business disruption measures, there has to be continuing non-compliance with duties under the Online Safety Act.

(Which is, I think, the case for some porn sites in particular.)

I was in London this weekend, and it was great to see public water bottle refilling stations dotted around.

No app needed, and free of charge: just press the button, and fill up.

Brilliant public infrastructure.

I saw four, I think.

I have seen zero in Newbury.

Have any other users of Bitwarden on Debian with GNOME (might be applicable elsewhere too) noticed a Remote Desktop permissions prompt with the latest (2026.07.0) release?

In my case, installed via flatpak.

This seems like a worrying thing for a password manager, and I cannot see anything in documentation / release notes which mentions it - but I might be missing something.

I don't get why people who want to use LLMs to generate code are grumpy because Codeberg doesn't want to host it.

Surely they can just use their LLMs to generate a replacement for Codeberg, which they can operate on whatever basis they choose?
