Many parents carried guilt. Many parents transferred that guilt into anger at people like me (for some reason they thought that their child would get better care in an hospital setting) or would direct their anger inwards and feel terrible.

A simplistic headline, along with no actual research can only make thing worse for carers and families.

Families will demand more. Carers will have a harder job.

"We collect information directly from you when you provide it to us explicitly on our Site"

I read that as "We collect everything we possibly can, and when we give that to you, pinky swear you'll be good".

I have nothing polite to otherwise say. Thanks though - I've added the appropriate blocks.

They placed a penny on the closed lid, and pressed the button to open it.

I forget which moved the penny furthest, but the Neo Geo came last.

"In other words, wordpress.org does not scan for malicious code."

If they scanned for malicious code this would not have happened.

"As a follow-up on the Andrew Wilder (NerdPress) and Chloe Chamberland (WordFence) reports that uncovered a limited number of compromised plugins, the Plugin Review team would like to provide more details about the case.

We identified that some plugin authors were reusing passwords exposed in data breaches elsewhere. The compromised accounts were not the result of an exploit on WordPress.org. Instead, the attackers used recycled passwords to add malicious code to a few plugins on the WordPress.org Plugin Directory.

First, out of an abundance of caution, additional plugin releases have been paused, and all new plugin commits temporarily need approval by the team. This way, we have the opportunity to confirm that the attackers cannot add malicious code to more plugins.

We have begun to force reset passwords for all plugin authors and some other users whose information was found by security researchers in data breaches. This will affect some users' ability to interact with WordPress.org or perform commits until their password is reset.

** Information about password deactivations **

Your password was deactivated if you are a plugin author or committer. If you have an existing open session on WordPress.org, you will be logged out and need to reset your password."

In other words, wordpress.org does not scan for malicious code.

I worked at Automatic (in Support / Spam blog hunting / Akismet) in 2011 and after some bad plugin updating from various sources Matt asked me to start vetting wporg plugin updates.

I cannot code in PHP. Lots of reading later I could recognise dodgy code, or code that looked odd.

I set up a gmail account where _every_ new plugin commit was sent to, and I create a ton of filters, each looking for certain code. Those filters were then sent to me and were filtered again - think "Nasty, Maybe, Check"

When something bad happened, I'd review the commits, see the nasty, remove it, update the version, commit to the wporg repo and at the same time take over the account. (Again I can't code PHP but I'm listed as a developer in the plugin repo). That way plugin user was protected.

That was 13 years ago .. why the hell doesn't WP have a better system?

WordPress used to have a Links section in the sidebar by default. It was later criticised for the default links being to WP founders/devs. But it was there, and you could change it.

Links are the web for me. "If you like my site maybe you will like what I like".

Go look at https://diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/ - links!

Go look at other sites and if they are WP chances are no link list.

Am I blaming WP? Yes because I thought it was a terrible change. No because other site builders/SSG's appear to have followed.

Links make the web what it is.

We need more, not less.

The local pub had an expensive makeover

They now charge double for exactly the same drink, and IF I go in I have to be sure to say "No Ice"

If I go in .. my patronage has dropped through the floor.

Or it could be 509.

Who knows?

It may not be your direct intent for that to happen, but it will absolutely happen.

At least your Privacy Policy appears decent.

This is fantastic: http://www.getlamp.com/

You can also hunt down the Infocom Universe Bootleg. It has pretty much all the games, bonus games, invisiclues, IUB database, software tools.

IUB.zip is 397.5mb zipped

It was great for her to play different radio stations, playlists, news. It did the job.

I did try linking it to a TV but that was terrible. Slow, janky, unreliable.

Since she died - Dec 2018 - "Alexa play LBC" "Alexa stop"

Oh, if you do have an Alexa device "Alexa, what noise does a hamster make?"

Okay, now explain Multiple Sclerosis, explain Lupus.

I could go on but this ... person ... is just spouting junk.

I have two dogs, two cats, two ferrets.

Both my dogs can communicate to me that they want to go there, or here, or want food, or play.

Both my cats can do the same,

For both above it is a combination of where they are and how they act and how they react to me.

The ferrets ... a ferret is constantly curious, persistent and the best way to communicate is to switch on, but not move a Henry vacuum, and say "Dance".

Unplug. Take it outside, remove side panel, side fan filter, bottom fan filter, any other filter.

Use skewers to make sure the fan cannot spin too highly (which can wreck them)

Use a powered blower like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01G1Z0RF0/

Reassemble.

What I like the most is that it uses regular batteries. I can put new batteries in and play Infocom adventures if I wish, use the inbuilt programs.

Unlike my early gen iPod Touch which does ... almost nothing now

At one time I moderated two large and growing forums - wordpress.org/.com - and there was an ability to shadowban.

You post to a forum, as a mod I see your post and I ban you (for whatever reason) You understandably get angry You make a new account, post again and react angrily to the ban in your post I have no option but to ban you again We end up in a circle This is not good for you or me.

If though I shadowban your anger does not rise, you do not make lots of new accounts and I do not create more work for us both.

For me the key here is that shadowbanning is okay for an established user who one day went off the rails. Let them rant, check their later posts, and remove that shadowban when the calm has returned. But you must check. For new users, just ban, block and use tools to autoblock going forward.

I was a mod on a growing subreddit for almost 10 years. Sometimes a shadow-banned user would post. As a mod we could see the post. We would let the post be published but would also reply along the lines of "You are shadowbanned by the reddit admins. This is how you check [give info] and this is how you appeal [give info]."

Blanket shadowbanning is a bad thing. Such bans must be reviewed.

Google, Bing, Archive.org and others I contacted and had them remove my content.

Then I removed everything visible.

Very very happy I did, especially with the rise of AI.

So an inmate benefits from their good conduct time.

The sentence reduction is nothing to do with who she is.

Settings > Camera > Formats

Check 'Most Compatible'

That does the job for images.

Automator will change the format if you shoot video.

Not knocking what you have created, but conversion is not that tricky.

Amusing on a few levels.

Apologies.
