Love to see that Virgin UK/O2 have blacklisted "http://detectportal.firefox.com/canonical.html" (the URL Ffox uses to invoke a captive portal, such as the ones you have to clear in order to use public hotspots with Virgin as a provider). Also nice to see that they've copyrighted the error page.

#KesslerSyndrome is coming, @evilstevie ! We need space janitors! @jonty
@jonty sounds like we need him to prove himself by creating a device which clears the vacuum around our planet of spacejunk first.
convenient though stuff like Starlink is, the poorly-maintained/managed stuff is going to age-out and prevent further off-planet fun soon enough

… I forgot to provide a link, didn't I? See, that's why I prefer to avoid relying on my own memory.
'xafter' is available from my miscellaneous utilities page (also including 'after' and lots of other unrelated things):

There's this myth that automated spam detection is hard because spammers are all very clever masters of disguise.
No. Spammers are stupid as a shoe. They have dog shit for brains.
Automated spam detection is hard because the line between spam and "legitimate" marketing activity is a fiction.

ransomware except it forces only the executive staff, from managers and up, to retake the phishing training testing over and over again, and functions as a paywall on macs and windows boxes preventing them from using their computers untill they complete the training. and it spreads to their home devices, and specifically targets iphones and ipads of their kids as well
@Viss I would sponsor this activity

Ever since the Monkey Cage betrayal and debacle , I’ve realised that maintaining my tenacity and having some confidence in the future has required even more teeth gritting. Self belief is a precarious notion. When it slips out of your hands it really can fall a long way down into the stinky water of the well.
