Reminds me of the first time I worked in a newsroom in the early 2000s. When the repeated slamming wasn’t enough, the whole phone would go flying across the office. I, unfortunately, had the desk by the wall, in the prime firing line. My reflexes became boss in those first 3 months.

icerunner_origin@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you knew the internet was going to be shutdown, damaged, or colossally enshittified what software would you archive for use locally and use for a neighborhood/town mesh network? Why?241·23 days agoI have started to do this and I’m using Docker to host Kiwix. I’m currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.
I also live on top of a hill, so I’m saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

icerunner_origin@startrek.websiteto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•More SEND pupils could go to mainstream schools as support shake-up is consideredEnglish0·2 months agoSpeaking from experience, forcing disabled kids into settings that are not equipped to help them survive, let alone thrive, in education has been a recipe for disaster as it is. I don’t see how doing more of it will make it any better for the kids.
But then we know it’s not for the benefit of the kids, is it?

icerunner_origin@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Mozilla rewrites Firefox's Terms of Use after user backlash | TechCrunch2·2 months agoReading through the changes, they don’t reassure me. If Mozilla isn’t intending to monetize, modify or exploit my data in any way, then why do they think that they need any kind of a license for it? A piece of software I use for it’s intended purpose, to send information from my computer to a server and back, doesn’t need to seek a license to use that information.
More like the Conservative government spent in the region of £700m on the scheme, and sent only 4 people there.
