🔗 GDS weighs in on the NHS’s decision to retreat from Open Source – Terence Eden "a meeting _without_biscuits." 💬 The UK's Civil Service 😂 Perfect - only the British. BUT - please don’t ignore this article - particularly if you are in the UK - and as I track the latest moves in New Zealand - also there. "Some people make things happen. Some people watch things happen. And then there are those who wonder, ‘What the hell just happened?"" 💬 Carroll Bryant It’s bad enough being in the second category, but too many people are in the third. 🔗📼Which is why it is also important to watch this.

👁️ I occasionally suffer from night-time foot cramps - excruciating at the best of times. Yesterday I threw my back out. Word to the wise: avoid a middle-of-the-night foot cramp whilst nursing a bad back.

👁️ If you live in New Zealand .. try this game .. Talk to your Bolt/Uber driver and discover how many qualifications they have. Note how often they are allowed IN to New Zealand, but once in - somehow they aren’t ‘qualified enough’. Isolated story? Not really. I see a pattern.

Getting there on this redesign …. Meanwhile - the link on this post is broken - but an archived link is in there. Why? Because I run the archive plugin by @g - but this is the first time I actually saw it work. Very nice work.

"Charity Is Doomed To Fail argues that traditional charity reacts to symptoms instead of addressing causes of issues like trafficking. The author calls for a proactive, well-funded, business-driven approach as embodied by The Future Found, highlighting Dan Pallotta’s point that new thinking, capital, and strategy are needed for real change - shifting from reactive aid to tackling root problems at scale." 💬 Sadly - unknown - so far I need to go find the source, because someone talking about Dan Pallotta in the same breath as 🔗 The Future Found is definitely someone I need to talk to.

I think I have only ever met one Brad in my entire life - and that was 20 years ago - worked together for a year - and never spoke again. Online though? Totally different - and this is only one slice of RSSLand. image
