Very serious people: 'People should vote tactically if they want Labour to win' * Millions of people vote tactically * Very serious people: 'How can Labour claim a mandate if it got less than 40% of the vote? There's no enthusiasm here.'

Because of an international move mid-pandemic I’ve not been to a tech conference in years, and none anywhere near where I live. So - does anyone anyone I know have recommendations for good ones to try in Central Europe?

As a classically trained cellist, composer, former Apple employee, and CEO of a design studio that specialized in icon and UI design, I am ~uniquely qualified~ to comment on the Apple Music Classical app.

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.) It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public. 🧵
