A huge number of them. It's not like we don't work with the EU on a ton of things. Brexit didn't just pull the plug on everything.

I don't need a diagnosis of my point. Perhaps I should explain further.

I'll say that it's more that the assertion that WhatsApp is a big issue is false. Civil servants know stuff is on the record, for example through screenshots from colleagues and the like which is a higher risk than actual control and security issues over WhatApp, so it's more of a distraction from the real security and ethical posture problems. Most of which occur though loose lipped jabbering to each other in the pub.

Security hygiene is terrible. Literally the worst. It scares the shit out of me if I'm honest.

If you think technology is a problem then the social issue are worse!

Can the team please use that money on making thunderbird look like the nice UI mockups that were published that don't look anything like thunderbird.

Thought "hey this better not be AI". Yes it's AI.

Just keep making a decent browser and stop getting distracted on shit.

My life has mostly been making that as not true as possible :)

Your employer is a fucking moron.

I'm taking the radical approach of starting with the problem and finding a solution rather than start with a solution and hit all your problems with it.

LLMs have yet to feature.

Well it wasn't really a teaching revolution. It was a marketing job around a YouTube channel that purported to be a teaching revolution.

The thing is people want more than material. They want the material to be accredited and examined. Otherwise there is no demonstrable credibility from doing it.

And there's a whole world out there of higher quality material with has that accreditation and examination structure around it. And it existed, sometimes for decades in the case of The Open University, before Khan Academy appeared. But it costs money.

Promises are broken, policies are changed and political regimes vary. You need to make sure that you consider the future and not just now. And that means NEVER handing your data over in the first place.

As someone who works on closed source software and has done for a couple of decades, most companies won't even know about that and of those who do only a fraction give enough of a shit about it to do anything until they are caught with their pants down.

Yes. I travel around the world looking for such things.

This is the horseshoe theory of Agile. If you do Agile hard enough you end up at SAFe which is basically waterfall.

Not really. Offence is sometimes the best defence. But when people start rubbing their hands at the prospect of a war being their retirement plan I don't want to be around them.
