@aroundthehills @Beclfc and with all the best will in the world, while parkrun is for everyone, its ethos is not about coming first, it’s about getting exercise and being around others. So maybe parkrun isn’t for
Your friends because it doesn’t help her get what she wants to achieve.

And that’s OK. 😀

Denmark’s Ministry of Digital Government is phasing out its use of Microsoft Office.. to switch to open source alternatives like LibreOffice instead.

Why? Because relying too heavily on a US tech giant for your nation’s digital infrastructure is starting to feel a bit... well, risky.

Denmark's relationship with the US is under strain, following Donald Trump's clearly stated ambition to seize control of Greenland, and recent reports of increased spying by the States on Greenland and Denmark.

@farukur I’m an Man United fan, but the world didn’t start with the Premier League! Have a look at the 100+ years before that.

@CursiveHello @brentsimmons @aleen To be fair this works both ways, those that don’t like something new tend to be more vocal though.

@marcoarment Ironic given that you moved frequently used buttons under three dots in Overcast requiring an extra tap.

An open call for Scottish artists, from Edinburgh Science Festival:

"We’re looking for a Scottish-based or Scottish-born artist to create a large-scale commission that explores the historic, social and cultural dynamics of science

The opportunity culminates in a major installation at the National Museum of Scotland’s Grand Gallery during the 2026 Edinburgh Science Festival..."

@sdarlington Yeah, I’ve done it, but I found the start including more than 1200 people was amazing, and that’s from someone who regularly goes to an event with more than 800 people.

@sdarlington not even at the mass start?

@Jargoonco @brentsimmons This is a great article, thanks for sharing this. I agree with everything you said, but one thing often gets missed. Many organisations have lost the ability to set priorities. Everything is described as a priority, so nothing is a priority, this leave managers either paralysed by choice or having to try and spin too many plates.

@jiji It very much depends on their Privacy Impact Assessment, and if applicable their DPIA.

Of course their assessment and that of a judge wouldn’t necessarily be the same, but the chance of them ending up in court is minimal.

@jiji @jamesthomson @caseyliss Marketing and Sales falls under a different law, but there’s not enough space in a toot to get into that.

@jiji @jamesthomson @caseyliss No, it doesn’t. One of the biggest myths about GDPR is that companies need consent to process your data when It’s simply not true. They have to inform you if they are processing your data when they acquire it and give you the chance to object, but it doesn’t stop them gathering it in the first place.

And if they’re not an EU company, it only applies for services offered in the EU to those in the EU
