@derekcollison I'm likely to cover this story so please follow back so I can get in touch via DM thanks

Death threats was not on my bingo card for this week but here we are. My response to the CNCF blog. synadia.com/blog/synadia-r…

@PJDunleavy Sadly, Fujitsu continued bidding for public sector work despite promising not to in January 2024, as this contract award shows theregister.com/2025/04/23/fuj…

Post Office locked in to keeping Horizon system by Fujitsu owning the code. Case study in perils of really dumb IT outsourcing. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The Post Office paid more than £600m to continue using the faulty Horizon IT system despite deciding to ditch it. Fujitsu collected £2.5bn since 1999 for the flawed system, paid ZERO compensation to innocent postmasters. No one charged for the scandal. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Science, Innovation and Tech Committee chair Chi Onwurah has written to Google and OpenAI asking for details of the companies' responses to the govt consultation on AI and copyright. The companies had declined to appear before the committee while the consultation was underway.

@Noahpinion Did Thatcher actually reduce public spending, though? I thought that was a myth.

Regular Americans are already getting fucked by tariffs...now get ready for the next fuckload of fuckage!

Costs for the whole project have gone up from initial estimates of £2.6m to nearly £40m. theregister.com/2024/04/30/uk_…

theregister.com/2025/02/20/dxc… here's my story for @theregister.com

@SussexLive This is how West Sussex County Council managed its IT contractor four months before the project was paused and a year or so before DXC left the project. Still, it got £6.6m after signing a £4m deal and worked for effectively half the time.

Today our @AP White House reporter was denied access to the Oval Office because the Associated Press recognizes the international body of water on our southern coastline as the Gulf of Mexico, while acknowledging President Donald Trump's order to rename it the Gulf of America. Our explanation on why is here: ap.org/the-definitive…

@carolecadwalla he also said this theregister.com/2025/02/04/pal…

Britain: we have to understand wtf we’ve done. We’ve allowed one of Trump’s closest allies have access to our entire NHS data systems. This is the CEO of Palantir telling shareholders that ‘when it’s necessary to scare enemies & on occasion kill them’

Palantir designed to 'power the West to its obvious innate superiority,' says CEO Alex Karp ... by ME! theregister.com/2025/02/04/pal… via @theregister

Why does the UK keep getting beaten up by IT suppliers? theregister.com/2025/01/28/uk_… via @theregister

@ESDale77 ah, my local hang-out

@ADalrymple There's often blame on both sides: sellers oversell, and buyers underestimate. But given the number of struggling projects, both should proceed with more caution. It can't be good for vendors' reputations, even if they're still picking up the $

@datadictum I suspect there is plenty of blame on both sides but at what point do things like this become 'stop hitting yourself'?

The budget for UK council's delayed ERP project went from £2.6 million to around £40 million. How are they paying for it? By selling assets. By me. theregister.com/2025/01/27/wes…

@sama @POTUS Specifically, the pardons: what precedent do you think they set for democracy, the rule of law and an independent judiciary?

watching @potus more carefully recently has really changed my perspective on him (i wish i had done more of my own thinking and definitely fell in the npc trap). i'm not going to agree with him on everything, but i think he will be incredible for the country in many ways!
