Documentally: "New post. With some nude picks... https://open.…" - the Octodon

"There are also tools to show me where my online images have been used so I can invoice people who use them without permission. But it’s a pain and I wish Flickr could do that with a click of a button. It might happen."

That would be a game changer, and maybe even profitable for Flickr on a small percentage.

Note to the new EU Transport Commissioner

[M]ake it easier to book international tickets, and that will mean more customers – and that should improve rail firms’ bottom lines. It is just that defensive, national monopolist thinking, and a conservative mindset, is rather too prevalent in the rail sector just now.

Bring it on!

Can Starmer Save Britain? Why Labour’s Sweeping Victory May Not Reverse the Country's Decline

The cold reality is that Brexit has merely shown that the United Kingdom has no one to blame for its problems but itself.

Unmissable analysis from Fintan O’Toole in Foregin Affairs. The UK has a chance at reinvention, and it will not be easy, but it has to try.

Sail Cargo Resurgence – Lucy Bellwood

Really great to see this little comic from Lucy Bellwood. A couple of panels to update some of the information would be the cherry on the cake.Is Ceiba operational yet? The website doesn't say, but I don't think so.

Home-Cooked Software and Barefoot Developers

Such a great talk and slides from Maggie Appleton. And from my own experience, barefoot developing for myself alone, I think she is absolutely right in her forecast and in the things the future she imagines will need.

For Creators, Ad-Blocking Focuses On The Wrong Problem

Google ... is essentially telling people who used their service for decades that they may have believed that the goal of its service was to “find websites,” but Google thinks the actual goal of its website is to “find answers.” Those are two different things, and one ignores the deeply extractive nature of the other.

Who, currently, is still working on the problem of micropayments? Because, optimistic fool that I am, I still believe that whoever succeeds will not only make money, they will enjoy the undying adulation of many millions of people forever and a day.
