If you're using Firefox, apparently all your add-ons were disabled because an SSL certificate expired. They're telling users to enable their controversial "studies" program to fix it 🤦♂️ https://www.engadget.com/2019/05/03/firefox-extension-add-on-cert/

The Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation has apparently sounded a word of caution about open source projects using Github and Visual Studio Code.https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/05/14/too_much_open_source_at_microsoft_eclipse_director_sounds_note_of_alarm/

For those who aren't aware, David Cameron held a referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union and lost.It's since claimed the jobs of two prime ministers and caused four years of political and economic turmoil.Theresa May didn't help herself either by thinking a snap election in 2017 would give her a stronger majority than she inherited from David Cameron. Her majority was wiped out and she was forced into coalition with DUP & held to ransom by her own backbenchers.

What's going to happen now? Well, your guess is as good as mine tbh.We know Theresa May will stay on until the Tory party leadership contest is over. That means she'll still technically be Prime Minister when Donald Trump does his state visit on 3rd June.(It can not be understated just how little the British public have taken to the current US president. But our establishment basically has to roll out the red carpet for him because we need a post-Brexit trade deal)

I also kind of wish I could have more sympathy for Theresa May getting emotional during her resignation speech, but the harsher policies her government implemented didn't seem to illicit the same reaction from her.* UN report claims 14 million people now living in relative poverty, and many now rely on food banks* Dying and disabled often treated like scroungers & wrongly denied welfare* Wrongly detained, deported or denied citizenship to the Windrush generation

Time for another #ff @mdhughes IS NOT A LINUX USER! See, I remembered this time 😂 @linuxjournal is the "elder statesmen" of Linux magazines and well worth checking out. (Note: It's not the one I used to write for)@ChrisWere is creating some really useful Linux distro review videos right now@bob toots about the societal impact of software & technology in general@fribbledom & @emsenn remind me of a time when I was younger, more energetic and wanted to do "all the things" online 😁

I finally got around to it, "bobbymoss.com" is now live 🎉 It's something of a soft launch atm as there's not much new blog content yet.The entire thing is written to conform to WCAG accessibility guidelines where possible. It's all handwritten HTML5, CSS and JQuery (there are fallbacks for the latter, but it has the magnet links for LibreJS 🤷♂️)I don't autoredirect HTTP to HTTPS because I want people to be able to use ye olde computers with the site if they want to.

Also thank you to @aral & @ChrisWere whose much cooler sites gave me some extra ideas (at some point I'll do a handwritten RSS feed for the homepage)Truth be told I reused a fair bit of work from "Bob's Tech Site", which is why this portfolio/CV site looks fairly similar. I also took a lot of inspiration from this: https://brutalist-web.design/

That's right, #Florence #Forkoff has gone live with its first usable pre-release! 🎉 Blog post: https://write.as/florence-development/this-florence-pre-release-0-1-the-fork-is-alive-flomodevCode: https://github.com/florence-social/mastodon-forkFor now the fork is essentially "Mastodon 2.9.0 with benefits", but in coming months more exciting features will be introduced. But this is a big milestone - it is no longer "vaporware" 🤩
