In this episode, Konstantinos and Jillian speak with Heather Burns about the Online Safety Bill in the United Kingdom. The Bill, which has been promoted as the one to make the UK the safest place to be online, has received significant criticism about the way it undermines human rights as well as important security protocols. Heather elaborates on these issues as well as why she believes the Online Safety Bill is the UK’s "Internet Brexit" moment, why she has called the bill the "Nick Clegg law" and what she believes the future of the UK will be after the passage of the Bill.
Heather has written extensively on her blog about the UK Online safety bill discussed here. Interesting indeed. Good Glaswegian joke & ends with passionate encouragement of the open web. Very much enjoyed this as I ease back into podcast listening while commuting.

Another Montalbano, easy read, and 99p. The food is the best part. I might read a more recent one to see how things develop and call it quits with this series for a while.
Went to Kelvingrove Bandstand to see King Creosote perform “From Scotland with Love” alongside the archive footage. Perfect weather. Lovely night, such an impressive mix. Thanks to @cmdjohnston & @MTImmonsMusic for taking me along.

Really interesting setting & background, remote 1600s Norway & witch hunting following the pattern of King James. The story flowed along but no real surprises.
WebP, an image format developed by Google, which is intended to replace JPEG, PNG, and […]
“When converting medium-resolution photographs (approx 1600px – 2500px on the long edge), WebP files are often larger than the JPEG equivalent,” WordPress developer Mark Howells-Mead commented on the main ticket for WebP work.
And from the comments:
This plugin will disable WebP generation by default. No settings, just a filter for those who can’t do it on their own.
Just from the point of not having many duplicates, jpg and webp versions taking up server space the plugin seems woth a though.
Usually once a tag on my website has more than a couple hundred entries, I convert it into a category. This one was long overdue. This morning I’ve converted the “note taking” tag into a category and moved a bunch of material on commonplace book and zettelkasten traditions over to it. If you...
This sounds like a really good idea. I need to do some reorganisation here at some point so will keep it in mind.
