Pixabay Twitter, after having done sweet F. A. about Lucire’s locked account, and failing to provide any response since the last lot of evidence was sent to them on the 4th ult., wrote this to me today: After reviewing the reported account, it appears that this issue may have been resolved. Please reply to this […]

Our government’s response to COVID-19 has been better than many nations’, but it is far from perfect, as Ian Powell points out in a well reasoned blog post, and in his article for Business Desk. It’s backed up by a piece by Marc Daalder for Newsroom. To me, Powell’s piece makes a great deal of […]
My Meizu M6 Note has had to be retired, due to an expanding battery, something which I probably shouldn’t have tolerated for so long (it began happening months ago). I only made the call to stop using it last week after the volume buttons could no longer function, and I probably should have stopped […]
Digital art by David MacGregor I hope the media will say more because David MacGregor had packed so much into his 50-something years on this planet. Here is my tribute on Lucire.

Taking some of the themes today on RNZ’s The Panel with Wallace Chapman (pre-Panel here, part one of the show here, and part two here), I offer a bit more commentary. Today’s topics: the COVID-19 mandate for schools; quitting drinking; Finland planning to let people see others’ salaries; the level of spending above New Zealand […]
Pixabay It’s hard to believe, but Twitter is far, far worse than Facebook when it comes to straightening things out. They’ve now asked for my ‘government-issued ID’ thrice and I’ve provided it thrice. It meets all their criteria. This is the latest bollocks: Hello, We’re writing to let you know that we’re unable […]

Bear with me on some maths here. Facebook says it will delete a milliard ‘faceprints’. In The Guardian: ‘Facebook will delete the “faceprints” of more than a[n American] billion people after announcing that it is shutting down its facial recognition system due to the “many concerns” about using the technology.’ We know that […]

I finally heard from Twitter regarding Lucire’s locked account: Hello, Thank you for your report. Your request is still pending, and in an earlier response, we’d requested more information that we need to continue the review. If you still need assistance, reply to this email with those details. If the issue has already been […]
