Don’t know what’s worse here tbh. NHS Grampian posting AI slop or that horrific domain.

@mysociety.org I've just had a new FOI response notification email sent to me partially in Welsh but I don't recall ever setting that as a language preference. Is there a switch somewhere I've accidentally flipped to turn this on? 😅

In the year of our lord 2026, why do people still not know how to properly share PowerPoints in Teams and Zoom?

My most expensive contribution to #OpenStreetMap yet. Got a little bit carried away with using Every Door to update data in Broughty Ferry 😅

I think UK Labour is underestimating the levels of aggravation and inconvenience the Online Safety Act will present for the general public, trying to access online information and content day to day, even if they aren't particularly engaged by concerns about censorship or surveillance.

Well I guess I’m switching to Apple Music… or going back to the good old days www.pcguide.com/news/spotify...

Spotify can eventually delete your account for good if you can't prove your age in the UK
Spotify is restricting access to some content in the UK, and you'll need to prove your age. If you don't, they can delete your account.

Scottish bus open data www.transport.gov.scot/consultation... consultation from Transport Scotland Section 40 of the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 www.legislation.gov.uk/asp/2019/17/... #busopendata #transportdata #opendata 🚌
In 2019 the Scottish Government brought in new primary legislation for transport (the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019), which included new provisions to better define bus open data, and to require it be shared for the new purpose of directly informing passengers (or potential passengers) about services. We believe that bus open data is essential to make travel on public transport more accessible, and to increase patronage of public transport in Scotland.

We intend to introduce new supporting legislation, known as Regulations (or 'Secondary Legislation') which define what specific information is required to be published, when, and in what format. This will allow for consistency across Scotland and will help us align with changes already underway in the wider UK.

Incredibly humbled to be mentioned as an Open Data Leader on the @openuk.bsky.social New Year’s Honours List. It’s a privilege to be included amongst many other fantastic members of the open tech community. #Scotland #OpenSource #OpenData #openukhonours
