A big list of things I disable in WordPress
There are many things I like about the WordPress blogging software, and many things I find irritating. The most annoying aspect is that WordPress insists that its way is the best and there shall be no deviance. That means a lot of forced cruft being injected into my site. Headers that bloat my page size, Gutenberg stuff I've no use for, and ridiculous editorial decisions. To double-down on the…

Your Password Algorithm Sucks
There are two sorts of people in the world; those who know they are stupid and those who think they are clever. Stupid people use a password manager. They know they can't remember a hundred different passwords and so outsource the thinking to something reasonably secure. I'm a stupid person and am very happy to have BitWarden generate and save fiendishly complex unique passwords which are then…

Here’s something most people will never get the opportunity to post: My 71-year old dad just released his first single. “Sweeties” is a light-hearted ditty about the sweets he used to enjoy in the 1950s and 60s whilst growing up in Dundee. Well done Dad. 👏👏 open.spotify.com/track/6BfHYI...

Found this in LinkedIn. Quite a dystopian example of possible use if AI in employment in the future. How will employers navigate the ethics of this, and will they even care? www.linkedin.com/posts/cspenn...
