Normally people go to Twitter to complain about poor customer service so I think it's only fair to balance that when customer support does good. Props to @EcoFlowTech EU team for their quick (within 3 hrs) and detailed responses to my query (a logistics company issue). Thank you!

@DaveBlass @StarWarsDaily_ Endo-R: 18th moon of the planet Endo 😆

@StarWarsDaily_ I just want to know the name of the planet that Endor is a Forrest moon of. They can't have the same name.

If you could change one thing about The Return of the Jedi what would it be?

Vendors like Epic's Kids Web Services help developers achieve compliance with as minimally invasive verification practices as possible. But the market is also filled with shady surveillance-oriented firms and novice app developers doing it themselves. kidswebservices.com

A fun evening with @MrBeast’s beast.travel Boat puzzle. Rewarding. Good design in that you can solve it without knowing all the previous 90+ solutions and after solving can use answer to check previous solves (& brute force options for the unknowns). 👌

Also enjoying the @RoyalMintUK’s The Penny Drops. Puzzles so far are pretty easy and being slowly drip-fed but hoping they ramp things up at the later stages 🙏 Being spoiled with puzzle hunts at the moment!

Enjoying @MrBeast and @LoneSharkGames’ puzzle hunt (even if I can’t enter - boo!) some great multi-level puzzle design. Puzzle complexity and community reminding me of Perplex City and Chouette d’Or days.

Hopefully it will be solved in a little less time than those 2 hunts 😀

Go team! ❤️

@michealjroberts However it is yet to be seen how they propose to implement this. If it’s a typical government IT project (like the disasters the NHS has seen) then it could very well end up a centralised mess.

@michealjroberts It doesn’t have to be centralised. Modern digital ID tech (W3C Verifiable Credentials) is secure, decentralised & privacy preserving (you can selectively disclose items of data - for example that you are over-18, or have the right to work, without disclosing name, DoB, addr etc).

Passports, licences, even supermarket cards are all limited-purpose IDs. A national ID card is different: it’s universal, mandatory and centralised. That creates risks of mass surveillance and data breaches. Once the infrastructure exists, it rarely stays “just for convenience”.

@straczynski Congratulations! Keeping my fingers crossed we’ll see more of your work on our telly boxes soon!

For followers of my work, I have some very exciting news, both personally and professionally. A new challenge. A new beginning. I'm going back up on the high wire, to see what happens next. Details below.

An unusual visitor in the sky above our Lincolnshire garden today. Unmistakably a Hobby Hawk (first I've seen). Probably attracted to the large number of Swifts we've got.

Depressing that Reform did so well in Lincolnshire. Happy however that our division voted for our independent councillor @OvertonMarianne

@rshereme “We still have time” is a dangerous mindset to hold. The longer things are left unchecked, the more they become considered the new norm and the harder they are to revert. We become desensitised and start to ignore increasingly extreme changes. This is the gradual fall.

11/ Democracy isn’t self-sustaining. It requires us to choose it — again and again. Not with platitudes. But with vigilance, accountability, and courage. We still have time. But not forever.

A sobering message from a history teacher: I’ve spent years teaching American and international government — from strong democracies like the UK to authoritarian regimes like russia and China. But lately, the most alarming lesson comes from home. 1/n

@LegalEagle Can the president really rename any geographic feature to anything they want? What are (if any) the limits? If he can rename a mountain and gulf, what about a city? An ocean? A state? The country?

Something needs to be done about the A17. Our junction (Brant Broughton) and the road running up to it from both directions has seen far too many bad accidents and fatalities. @drcarolinej bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@EliteDangerous Happy Birthday! It’s been a great 10+ years! That initial kickstarter pledge almost 12 years ago just keeps on giving. Here’s to the next 10!

Today is a special day, marking the 10-year anniversary of Elite Dangerous! To celebrate the anniversary, a few familiar faces have come together to share their experiences and highlights over the past decade. Watch the full video on YouTube: youtu.be/WqjZXckQGe0

I ventured a little nearer today... @rafredarrows

@bookmore Did you hear the news about la chouette d'or? Finally! Curious to see what we (and everyone else) missed for so long!

It's been a veritable airshow here this week... Monday an @RAFBBMF Spitfire, today the @rafredarrows practicing over @RAFWaddington and a Chinook heading somewhere.
