Lindsey Wildlife Museum 🦉 watercolor
I painted the Lindsay Wildlife Museum several years ago. It's now called Lindsay Wildlife Experience. A wonderful place to learn about local wildlife. I have such great memories of taking my kids there.

Thanks to the magic of the Streisand effect, I just heard about #CarelessPeople - a book by former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.
Apparently the company is FREAKING OUT and seeking legal ways to stop its promotion. I can see why. This article about it in the Times made my jaw drop: nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/r…
I will definitely order it at my local bookshop.

Book Review: ‘Careless People,’ by Sarah Wynn-Williams
“Careless People,” a memoir by a former Facebook executive, portrays feckless company leaders cozying up to authoritarian regimes.Jennifer Szalai (The New York Times)
reshared this
An update: last night I started reading #CarelessPeople and I cannot emphasize enough HOW GOOD it is. A real page-turner.
No wonder #Meta executives are trying to shut down its promotional tour. They come across as shallow, greedy and irresponsible.
The author wrote in the prelude that working there was "like watching a bunch of fourteen-year-olds who’ve been given superpowers and an ungodly amount of money, as they jet around the world to figure out what power has bought and brought them." 🔥
Update no. 2:
Yesterday my 4-year-old woke up at 7am thus thwarting my plans to read #CarelessPeople for a good hour.
So today I woke up at 6am to resume reading the book. It’s THAT GOOD.
The leaders at #Meta have been shockingly irresponsible in their decisions since the early days. All they care about? Gathering data and influence and making big bucks. I’m so glad I got out of all their platforms and I’m on the #Fediverse instead.
History books won’t be kind to Zuck, Sandberg et al.

I am reminded once again of this, as I see more news about the UK government talking about cutting disability benefits. If you taxed the Sunday Times rich list 1%, you wouldn't have to make these cuts. If you taxed them 10% of their billions, there wouldn't even be any deficit.
IF THEY WERE TAXED AT THE 45% ON THE HIGHER BRACKET LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE, THEY WOULD GENERATE £357.75 BILLION FOR THE ECONOMY.
But I suppose cutting a couple of hundred quid from the poorest is probably the most sensible solution. Don't want them getting any ideas above their station. In the year 2025. 👍

Apple - censoring things? Never 🤣
I was asked by a relative to use #WhatsApp - and responded with the appropriate comments about Meta, Privacy, Security, Bastards etc. I suggested they use Signal (we do and for work as well). I then wanted to follow it up with a link (and we use #Apple desktops and laptops here backed up by a Linux farm). So I went to the appstore and searched on #Signal - this is what I was given. You need to get the link directly from Signal to find it.
Maybe it's for similar reasons that Moxie Marlinspike didn't want it being distributed by F-Droid either 😞

ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship call for the secret Tribunal into the UK Home Office's encryption-breaching order against Apple to be held in PUBLIC 🧑⚖️
There's a significant public interest in knowing why the UK government believes it can compel a private company to undermine the privacy and security of its users.

Make the Investigatory Powers Tribunal on Apple Encryption a Public Hearing
Rights groups call for Apple’s closed appeal against the Home Office’s encryption-breaching order to be opened to the public.Open Rights Group
The “case implicates the privacy rights of millions of British citizens who use Apple’s technology, as well as Apple’s international users.”
“End-to-end encryption cannot be broken in a targeted manner – once a ‘backdoor’ into the system has been created, it can be exploited by anyone, putting the privacy and security of all users at risk.”
With such high stakes, we demand to know what could possibly justify it.
#e2ee #encryption #privacy #security #cybersecurity #ukpolitics #ukpol #apple
📣 Make your voice heard through the secrecy!
By ordering Apple to break encryption, the UK government has put millions at a higher risk of their personal data, documents and photos falling into the hands of criminals and predators.
The secret tribunal is taking place this Friday – we need to take a stand for encryption!

Bone fragments unearthed at an ancient cave in Spain belong to the oldest known human face in western Europe, researchers say.
The fossilised remains make up the left cheek and upper jaw of an adult member of an extinct human species who lived and died on the Iberian peninsula between 1.1m and 1.4m years ago.
