Using a 217 million follower account to post a judge's daughter's personal details puts her at risk and sends a clear message: Rule against Musk/Trump, and we'll come after your family. This is how authoritarian regimes operate. This isn't democracy but political mob rule.π΅βπ«

"When we talk about a [government] service, we mean all the things that government collectively provides to deliver an outcome for all of its users, through any path a user takes to reach their goal."

'What is a government service?'
It's a big question when funding them & asking people to build them brilliantly.
In this new post, CDDO defines services around users' outcomes: services.blog.gov.uk/2024/09β¦

OK Mr Musk, I am done with twitter, you horrible and dangerous man.
I hope everyone else leaves, too.
Please, everyone leave this platform that gives grotesque power and influence to a toxic, dangerous and extremist narcissist.
Bye Twitter.

Hi!
I'm mentoring someone who wants to get started in #graphicdesign, is studying at college.
They're looking for 15 minutes with a graphic designer, to get any tips on getting started in the industry. Can you help? Do you know someone who might?
Thanks in advance!

Reminder that when people say "sustainability" they usually mean "less unsustainable", which is still unsustainable. It can't be sustained. We can't sustain it. It'll break us.
Sustainable β less unsustainable
Less unsustainable = unsustainable

Stop consuming so much.
Stop causing so much CO2 emissions.
Ask demand the powers that be change their policies and economic models, fast.
We will not survive in a malfunctioning ecology. We are not surviving.
Change the economy to stop destroying the ecology.
In case you missed it: 2 feet of rain in 24 hours, 100,000 people displaced, 1000s of acres of farmland submerged. "An abrupt transition from drought to flooding".

This stuff is far more likely, frequent and intense because of our (human) activity.
