Not to tell you that you're wrong on something that I know nothing about... but some people seem to think that the spike was caused by an bond(?) auction www.marketwatch.com/story/all-ey...

I think that it did some automatic link shortening, I'll have to be careful of that in the future

that's wierd - the text link goes to the correct page but the large one with the picture doesn't

oh, that was a fail - I'll go and look to see if any others have been started in the mean time or try again I guess. Thanks for telling me

Web page: Black text on white background. There is a title "Episode 201" underneath is css code, every line starts with "!important"

There seems to be something wrong with your website - there is a lot of css styling displayed as text:

If the petition gets 10k signatures the goverment will respond and at 100k it would be debated in parliment.

This is my first time doing a petition so we'll see how it goes! If you have a more popular account than me (literally everyone) I would appreciate you sharing.

Thank you - Petitions Official online petitions in response to issues of the day, listing the number that got a Government response, and those that have been debated in the House of Parliament

Elon Musk wants to interfere in UK politics and give money to the far-right Reform party, using X to get round donation rules.

That sucks so I decided to do something about it. If you are a UK resident/British citizen please sign my petitition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

@nationaltrust.bsky.social themselves also have a relavent page: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/oxford... but I didn't find it to very well laid out

I did the first day in python - you can see my solutions at tombrandis.uk/advent-of-co... if your interested. They are quite chaotic though be warned!

(it's just file download for now but I'll figure out a nice way to present them soonish)

You say that the tax will effect small, local farms but surely small, local farms are worth less than £1.5 million so won't be effected (or is it affected I can never remember?)

I don't know if this is bots but it looks like it could be.

This seems to be a good site to look at the data that we do have available to us: petitions.elexn.uk

The Proposal to Break Up Google Is Finally Here The Antitrust Division proposed a comprehensive solution to Google's monopoly, including pushing Apple into search. Now comes a mini-trial where Judge Amit Mehta will decide what to do.

As the people on here with older accounts will undoubtedly tell you, bluesky is a protocol, not a platform. Customization is key - you can have your cake and eat it, mass mute/block all the right-wing people you want!

That's what's weird to me about this. All the companies that hate the archive are... big companies. And surely they wouldn't do this?? If it does turn out that one of the publishers was behind the attacks everyone is going to get very upset.

There probably just working really hard on restoring the functionality and too busy to approve comments. Let's hope that they are back to normal again soon.

I love it!
