For now, worth using old.Reddit.com … at least while it works. Bonus that it’s much lighter an cleaner tok. You can also make your browser auto redirect all Reddit links there easily enough (either w a dedicated extension or w StopTheMadness, which also syncs the redirect across devices)

“Acknowledged”? “Confirmed”?

I’m also amazed how rarely the literal price fixing cartel several of them had organised gets mentioned…

But “who took the ram from the ramalangadingdong”? Surely a winning campaign slogan

Have you tried Kagi? Seems like their pitch more or less.

Definitely on assumption the player can pick their “side”. Perhaps across different parties and “eras”? ChangeUK / TIG, Heath / Thatcher, Steel / Owen… Peel / Disraeli??

does this count as hopeful technology, Rachel (imho, yes)

Based on my Glastonbury ticket buying experiences, it might be worth checking if there’s someone on the urban75 forums with a mysterious “skip the failing load balancing server” link

Don’t forget education! Great looking report, definitely some big implications for education and beyond…

Not seen it discussed much recently, but @samfr.bsky.social might know if anyone is looking at it again… (It was an idea proposed by the govt (but dropped) back in 2007!) www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/stud...

I know of the Coalition for Independent Technology Research's report on impact of Crowdtangle's closure: independenttechresearch.org/wp-content/u... otherwise did you see the CoCoDa [Concentration of Control and Data] launch this week? V much looking at this: medium.com/odi-research...

Newman displays are great for large / complex stuff in particular newman-displays.com Kopykat.co.uk for more straightforward things also v good in my experience. Not right by BL but not too far and both deliver. Otherwise I’d be relying on google reviews..

particularly fond of the platforms/apps that insist on emailing me a notification that I have a message... But... including the content of the message in the email?? Inconceivable!!!

Thanks for covering this, Rachel!

I’m so sorry Sarah, sounds horrific.. have CAB advised at all about making a complaint / compensation claim to the Adjudicators Office?

James Cox @ciaojames.sdg4.net · 05/08/2025

Borderline curse word- but wouldn’t be used in small children’s stuff. YA perhaps.

FWIW both hang for me too!

100% a premium in education on anything “innovative” that sounds good in a panel discussion. And far less on the training, infrastructure, process that is needed for a policy to be effective, sustainable etc.

Is the talk online anywhere?

We worked on this! obvs not keen on any school closures - but had to recognise scale of crisis. Mass deaths: also not good for kids, both personally & re services they rely on (incl schools)! Real debate imho is less thresholds, more what we *prioritise* within whatever is open. Schools or bars?

Don’t forget the students using the AI detection software on their own writing pre-emptively to try and make sure it’s not flagged as AI!

Yeah also - I think we’ll see plenty of blaming out of touch Westminster/whitehall for constraints that mean it’s impossible to be “well run”. Arguably will resonate even more than “blaming Brussels” given how much central govt funds to councils have been cut.
