Cover up that incident with this handy sticking plaster." -

"Three day weekends are excellent and I think we should have more of them. I am far from alone.
A trial across multiple countries found a four-day work week reduces burnout. The World Economic Forum found four-day work weeks to be good in 2022. There’s also groups that run training courses on how to move your company to a four-day work week and they have a bunch of research also.
Since we’re all about data-driven decision making these days, I guess we’re all moving to adopt four-day work weeks as fast as we can, right? Given all the benefits and the research showing it’s a good thing to do? No?
Apparently it takes around 20 years for research to fight its way out of the dry prose of academic journals and into the wider populace.
A four-day work weeks seems weird only because we’re used to five, but there’s nothing natural about a two-day weekend. It’s remarkable how quickly people adjust to sudden changes in timekeeping, after all. Weeks aren’t real in the way that days are, and yet we make weird and arbitrary changes to how long a day is all the time and call it #daylightsaving.
Maybe we could start calling #fourdayweeks “#weekend saving” and start doing it for six months at a time to get people used to the idea. Once the people closer to the equator figure out what to do with their curtains and cows for half a year, we could suggest that this changing of the week twice a year is silly and we should just move to a permanent four day work week.
Then we can move on to the next goal: the three day work week.
Who’s with me?"

also from #TheCrux - "NASA released the Starliner Propulsion System Anomalies during the Crewed Flight Test - investigation report last week. It has redactions, but there’s a lot left in.
As reported in #SpaceNews, #NASA Administrator Jared #Isaacman had some blunt words to share during a press conference:
“#Starliner has design and engineering deficiencies that must be corrected, but the most troubling failure revealed by this investigation is not hardware. It’s decision-making and leadership that, if left unchecked, could create a culture incompatible with human spaceflight.”
Politely phrased, but big oof.

"Would you like to annoy your security team even more than usual? Why not create #obfuscated links to regular websites that look like phishing attempts with Phishy URL?"
this is hilarious @daedalus thanks from my DEVs 😆🐡 #phish #urls

#TheCrux couldn't agree more!
"We have rather lost sight of the whole “think about what you want” bit with the drive towards ever more immediate gratification. In the name of developer experience, understanding what people actually want a computer to do is less important than having elaborate frameworks that provide keystroke latency above 600ms and bullet lists that download a 717kb image of a circle from the Internet (https://thesizzle.com.au/p/chatgpt-used-for-qantas-ceo-s-email-to-millions-affected-by-data-breach)" #testing #UAT cc @akent -

@mbbroberg the #TragedyOfTheCommons was what @daedalus discussed in his excellent newsletter #thecrux. He describes that "The work of Ostrum and her peers shows that there are plenty of examples of people successfully managing common-pool resources without it inevitably becoming a tragedy."

😆😂 #TheCrux: "There was a lot of news about Amazon removing its #JustWalkOut feature from its grocery stores. It turns out the ‘AI’ was actually a bunch of foreign workers surveilling customers over in-store video. No word on whether they had to share a trenchcoat or not." @daedalus we'll probably never find out ;D

nice write up in #TheCrux thanks @daedalus :awesome: 👏
"Federated social media software #Mastodon had an impersonation vulnerability that was patched last week. More than half the instance admins patched it in less than 24 hours. I enjoyed the comment from Elliott Wilkes, chief technology officer at Advanced Cyber Defence Systems, saying “there's just not the same investment in security because there's not massive revenue supporting the platform, and each owner of an instance has to perform security management on their own” as I look wistfully in the direction of Microsoft and its massively lucrative portfolio of security binfires."
Bugs were reported by German #pentesting outfit #Cure53 during a #Mozilla-requested audit.
