Looking at the publicly available numbers for BSides Newcastle as comparison, average per attendee was ~2x. Not a competition, but that was my baseline knowledge, which is why the great £10k+ still seemed lower than my guts estimations against my mental model

There’s a big difference between stating it “wasn’t enough” versus questioning if we could collectively do more than the already great contribution to charity. Especially if those fortune enough to be able to generously give more than their “fair share” are skewing the averages

I’ve never been active military, and I appreciate the concept of a chain of command; but at which point should we expect professional soldiers to say “no”? “Just following orders” has never been a sufficient excuse.

Needs some action further North as well. As gorgeous as the Wear is, large sections are similarly closed of preventing access to significant stretches and fragmenting potential walking routes.

When people warn about the privacy and security risks of mandating digital age verification, this is exactly what they mean. It’s not hypothetical www.bbc.com/news/article...

BBC article text: “Discord, a messaging platform popular with gamers, says official ID photos of around 70,000 users have potentially been leaked after a cyber-attack.
The platform, which has more than 200 million users worldwide, says hackers had targeted a firm that helped to verify the ages of its users but the Discord platform itself was not breached.
People can provide ID photos to verify their age on Discord - a networking hub for players to chat and share files with others in the gaming community.
The leaked data may involve personal information, partial credit card details and messages that were exchanged with Discord's customer service agents, the San-Francisco-based company says.”

Why do you think DOGE scooped up and consolidated all the data? Combine gov employee records with social media profiles and voting records and you get a very effective target list.
