The #hmrc #selfAssessment tangle of tech is such a mess. The only source of authority seems to be to phone them up, wait 30 mins on hold, then another 5 while you have to wait for a text to allow you to login.
The android app sent me a notification that I had a message. Followed it through to a statement from months ago, wanting money. Logged in online: says "you have nothing to pay", but is missing 2 recent statements.
What a shambles!

Today I launched my first #backdrop #backdropCMS site, as #CiviCRM migration strategy away from Drupal 7 for a site that used a lot of drupalisms.
Today there's a security update for Backdrop, so I learnt also how to do that!

Hey #openSource #exim / #exim4 users **NOW** is a good time to apply a #security fix for your exim. Released 2 hours ago. If you use #debian, the updates are in the repos already.

You'll have plenty of consultancy work:
1. #GDPR compliance applies to all Web servers.
2. #Mastodon lacks #GDPR compliance by design.

Big tech doesn't want people visiting other websites bc it takes eyes away from their ads. Hence in-search answers which are marketed successfully as useful - my kids hate having to visit a site to get an answer. Then you get to a site and you have to fight a slow loading complex cookie policy with #darkPatterns (and sometimes dodgy legal nonsense like #consent for #legitimateInterest). But mostly we only need these things *bc* of the same companies that benefit from people not visiting our site

I like Open Location Coordinates AKA #olc #plusCodes as these are a compact, readable easily sharable open way to identify global coordinates.
There's 2 renderings though, a full one and a version that's abbreviated but needs a locality name.
The long one is great, the other one is useless because an app would need a massive db of placenames.
Guess which version #googleMaps gives access to...

Apple's Hide My Email feature is a joke.
1. When I send to a HME account, I get a bounce. Apple receives and accepts the email, verifies DMARC/DKIM&SPF, but then when apple's servers forward it, the final server bounces it as spam, and apple pass that back to the original sender. So we can't email people who used the feature.
2. In the bounce email from Apple it reveals ... the "hidden" email address! 👍 way to go, Apple!

> "If #machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine owners successfully lobby against #wealthRedistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with #technology driving ever-increasing inequality." Professor Stephen Hawking

@13reak @artfulrobot This kind of toot always makes me wonder, if I shoud once try another distro, #fedora for example. Or go for #debianSid.
But I am just an amateur linux user, and #DebianStable does all I need... -
#GoCardless now advertise their services to people using their javascript tool to setup a billing request. Yuk.
Donors / payers don't need to be advertised services from the platform that the vendor chose to use. It's at least just gross and at worst, unsolicited marketing in a personal context that could confuse people.
-
Pet peeve for today: #platformDecay of payment services, here's looking at you, #stripe #goCardless #payPal
All began as 'better' ways to do stuff but are now.. not so.
Stripe plugins advertise stripe accounts to payers, begging for personal data.
GoCardless: their orignial USP, a market-shaking fee structure and modern API is now as laughable as google's "don't be evil".
PayPal: well, just ... ugh. yuk. Can anyone even remember when it did something good?
-
#goCardless join the #enShitification train. I mean, they've been on it a while.
When they launched they were low, flat % successful transaction fee only.
Then came the hike on % and, *bonus!* a per-transaction fee!
Then they added a 'smart' feature to counter loss through people switching bank accounts.
✨ new and coming soon: woop woop! now charging for failures as well! fees up! And, you know that 'smart' feature, we now think you'll want to pay for that!
-
#GoCardless tell me "67% of payers will stop a purchase if you don’t offer their preferred way to pay - read our report"
me thinks: /worth a read if there's a chance of data against use of #paypal which is awful/ ->clicks<-
This form appears with clearly broken UX and design that has failed.
Hmm. Wonder what percentage of users lose interest from a broken datawall. Bet it's more than 67%

Oh no. I think I've got to reconfigure #exim a bit. Maybe I'll stick needles up behind my nails and use the keyboard like that to focus my mind on something other than the pain of this task!
I use exim a lot, but the config has a real lack of logic/structure, the syntax is written by someone who criticises Perl for being too readable and testing it is cumbersome.
I don't have the spoons to try to transfer my needs/knowledge to postfix. Email delivery is just so darned complex.

Ok I'm confused. What's the relationship between #Mozilla/#Firefox and #Servo?
Servo was made by Mozilla, right? And today is used in Firefox? And Verso is hoping to one day be a browser we can use? So is this like a lower level fork of Firefox?
Explain Like I'm Five! #elif

Struggling to get #fedora #fedora40 server to install with root mountpoint on a #BTRFS #RAID1 file system.
Perhaps it's just not allowed? Perhaps grub can't handle it this early?

#Gnome with #gnome45 have decided morse code is better than the word Activities. Not looking forward to explaining that to the non techy people I sometimes make systems for!
Ah ha, yes, no, it's not morse code. So there's these things called workspaces that mean you can put windows beyond the edge of your screen. That daaah-dit is showing you you're on the first workspace of two. I know I know you didn't ask for 2, but there you go. Why do you want some off screen? No, I've never got it either.

#facebook tried to dodge case brought against it by sacked #contentModerator Daniel in #kenya because it "doesn't operate in Kenya" - despite having its African Moderation hub in #nairobi Thankfully, they failed and the case can now proceed
#Billionaires and #billionaire owned tech are not our friends. When it looks like they make your life better, you can bet it's at someone's expense (quite possibly yours).
