At last, Brussels gets it. You have to place an order just like everyone else, not demand a supply simply because it's made in your country. reuters.com/article/us-health-…
Hmm? It's only 24 hr (2,253.1 km) from the Ukraine to Brussels via A4 I wonder if the EU wants to be our friends again? thetimes.co.uk/article/ukraine…
Of course, Prince Phillip's funeral is going to be fun. It'll either be a reconciliation or WWIII when Harry and Megan attend. The icing on the cake is if Piers Morgan gets an invite. 😱

"lets an authorised third party initiate the transfer of money out of your bank account on your behalf as an alternative to card payments" I'm not convinced that's a good idea. techcrunch.com/2021/04/08/true…
Wow! Why are people not up in arms? So Twitch can now tell you what to do if you want an account with them? Isn't that like selling your soul? engadget.com/twitch-misconduct…
Charlie and I saw a cat tormenting a field mouse this morning. We tried saving its life, me making stupid "psssh" noises and Charlie barking. The cat, distracted for a second, saw the mouse limping off, sneered at us and promptly picked its victim up and waltzed off with it. Bye-bye Mickey.
I want to take this opportunity to apologise to the world for pooh-poohing the Astra Zenica (Oxford) vaccine on Sunday to the Mrs little did I know the shitstorm that would unfold by Wednesday. youtube.com/watch?v=QeF1JO7Ki8…
The people in the houses that back onto our property have taken to hanging around in their bedroom(s) pretending to be doing things while actually looking at other peoples gardens and houses. One guy is pretty blasé about it and actually hangs out the window!
Firefox possibly falls behind in the browser popularity stakes. news.slashdot.org/story/21/04/… although the article points out, there could be (Like mine) multiple browsers on any given system.
Looking through my feeds this morning, it dawned on me that now my website cannon-linux.co.uk is no more none of my spleen venting will appear on Planet OpenSUSE ever again.
I could never understand why #Archlinux removed the original installer? (I have my suspicions, though.) still, nice to see one back again. archlinux.org/news/installatio…
Any SysAdmin worth their salt should have an automated Backup routine in place. Having said that, some folk prefer a manual solution for whatever reason so I kinda like the idea of a "Happy Bachup Day" maybe Twitter et al can post it very Friday? it-hure.de/2021/04/happy-backu… P.S. This post is not propsing that by the way.

Huzzah! The ghost of SCO rises again in the form of Xinuos and threatens legal action against Red Hat/IBM for supposedly nicking UnixWare blueprints, lying, and conspiring. theregister.com/2021/03/31/ibm…
This is weird? A Global Cloud-Based company insisting staff must come into the office? Is it just me that's noticed the UK press has been promoting news stories of returning to workplaces rather than #wfh? Gotta protect Pret a Manga and Starbucks with lunchtime sales. :') bbc.co.uk/news/business-565989…
