For those who design or operate databases:When you delete a record, either because it is outdated or deletion has been requested by the data subject, which do you do?

Seeing people here and around mentioning the upcoming annual #Pride celebrations / marches / events have reminded me that somehow it is FORTY YEARS since I was an organiser of London's first "Lesbian and Gay Pride" in 1983.It wasn't the first 'pride' but it was when 'lesbian' got added to the name, (bisexual and transgender arriving much much later). The addition wasn't well-received, either by gay men or, amazingly, by many women's places who didn't actually like the word 'lesbian', preferring 'gay women', 'dykes', or queer. This gave us fundraising problems for a while.I was also the first _out_ bisexual on the organising collective. Go me. 🙄

Searching for different stuff I found paperwork from #Pride 1983 committee, including a pristine sticker and meeting minutes!

Finally located specific connector for charging my chair batteries* so possibility exists I might go to London Pride on Saturday.My first (then only "Lesbian & Gay" #Pride) was 40 years ago, and I was one of the organisers and first 'out' bisexual on the committee. We've come a long way since but those advances have been slipping back with increased homophobia and transphobia promoted by the media.Just because there is music, and people in bright colours, doesn't mean we aren't still fighting for our rights, for fair and equal treatment, to live in peace without fear of violence. Pride is both a celebration of how far we've come in 50 years and a reminder to everyone else just how much there is left to do.#PrideMatters #LGBTQ2IA #BeThereToSupportEachOther (* Yes, it's an electric chair. No, not that sort of electric chair!)

@stuxAnd don't forget all the wrecks with serious bombs and weapons on board either. (Big cache in middle of the Irish Sea, for example.)

@stuxPossible issue around reporting is that someone might be in fear of their life if they are known to have done so (cf whistle-blowers) so maybe anonymous too somehow?

A note to American authors, especially of fiction set in the UK :¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯Using 'hard' as a signifier of alcoholic makes English speakers laugh because it is so stupid."Cider" is ALWAYS alcoholic, if it wasn't it would just be apple juice!You don't call wine 'hard grape juice' or beer 'hard hopped malt liquid' so why do it for fermented apple juice? It just makes you look silly.Just stop!(Retoot if you agree!)

@dbrand666Cider is alcoholic. Period. If it isn't then it isn't cider!

@stuxAh, the good old days. One thing you didn't want to hear was a disk crash when the heads touched the spinning disks and gouged their way in. Ear-splitting!

Sunak probably caused people to die.He demonstrates his conceit and contempt by saying "he did not need to consult scientists about the “eat out to help out” scheme"And if descriptions of the Treasury as being “pro-death” were "deeply unfair" that isn't a denial.#ToriesKill #ToryScum https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/11/rishi-sunak-email-risk-covid-infections-inquiry?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
