The best thing I've ever done as an IT professional is install adblockers for elderly and non-computer-literate clients. Everyone should use them. It's not even just an aesthetics thing, it's an "ads are responsible for serving tons of malicious scripts that trick people into calling numbers or clicking links that lead to scammy shit" thing.
Fuck ads.
@mikegalsworthy I keep seeing warnings from the info sec guys that it’s best to hold onto your account over there, but lock and don’t use. To prevent identity theft in future. After the QElon crud of this past week I’m done with it though.
Just a reminder for all you mastodonians that my book and calendar are still available and would make great Christmas presents… BOOK: https://shop.printtrail.com/product/chris-barker-brush-strokes-book/

Went for a pleasing walk by the river earlier.
Water surprisingly still.
Sky surprisingly wibbly.

And big special thanks to all at the Cardiothoracic unit and Ward 32 at #JamesCookHospital who were truly wonderful :)
UK Politics, strikes, NHS
Well that's good news. Scottish govt. and Unite have negotiated a new pay offer which means the NHS Scotland industrial action has been called off.
It's nice to get a wee hint now and then that there are some grown-ups in government.
