A good question

Public Warning

Do not... ever use POP Telecom

They are useless, liars and will try any underhand trick to get your business.

Sadly, they are also being promoted by #MartinLewis and the #MoneySavingExpert site

After attempting to switch to them... I was bombarded with calls and txts to a mobile number they were implicitly told I didn't want to give them, that I objected out of ALL marketing/sales contact and that they MUST only use a landline.

So I cancelled within the cooling off period

Kicking up a stink about Amazon's failure to deliver a £700 iPhone to me (and then refusing to refund/replace) has - I'm delighted to say - resulted in the money being returned to me today. 🥳

What I've learnt:

★ Exploiting social media and video to complain can get the attention of AmazonUK's PR team

Aussie commercials are possibly the best in the world.

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I don't know about you, but it absolutely cracks me up.

20MPH, Wales and the Tories

While half of Private Eye does not interest me, the subscription is worth every penny for snippets like these. The Tory connection to a campaign to prevent Wales implementing the 20MPH urban speed limits.

I guess this stuff is plenty obscure, huh?

So, folks, there's a new browser engine dropped (a while ago, actually). It isn't based on WebKit and it isn't based on Firefox, it is written from scratch for a hobbyist operating system SerenityOS by some awesome/crazy people. The browser, called Ladybird, actually can be compiled for Windows, Linux, Mac, OpenIndiana and Android.

It can pass Acid3 and render Github page well (note that Firefox and Chrome circa 2018 cannot do that!), and it has decent JS and afaik wasm support.

Their site is https://ladybird.dev/

I am not related to the project in any way, just amazed that it exist, and I think it deserves more love and publicity. And optimizations for low-end computers. And privacy features. And so on!

Delighted to see @gretathunberg found not guilty.

This, folks, the the British justice system working as it should.
