@rachel@norfolk.socialUninstalled the NHS App. I dunno but there’s something about Wes Streeting getting his dirty little paws on it that makes me be a little wary.
If I need to use it, I’ll use it purely via the web, at https://www.nhsapp.service.nhs.uk/

@evemassacre@assemblag.esThis afternoon I will start a project that I postponed all summer: Figuring out how to move my club collective's web stuff to a new provider. (*shakes fist at Hosteurope which should burn in hell for switching their mail service to bloody Microsoft 365 model with a monthly fee per every single email adress*) Last time I did this was 15 years ago and I can't wait to relearn / see what has changed and is more complicated today! 😅
@gwire@mastodon.socialNow that there's apparently a definition of working class (it's based on one of your parent's job when you were 14), can someone build an "am I working class or not?" web service?

@lysander07@sigmoid.socialTomorrow, we will dive deeper into ontologies with OWL, the Web Ontology Language. However, I'm doing OWL-lectures now for almost 20 years - and OWL as well as the lecture haven't changed much. So, I'm afraid I'm going to surprise/dissapoint the students tomorrow, when I will switch off the presentation and start improvising a random OWL ontology with them on the blackboard ;-)

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsWhen I contacted my #bank last time via its web service, I got the reply there, after two days.
This time I've also used the web service, and:
• A week later, got a text that they've started processing my request.
• Further two weeks later, I've got an e-mail asking if I'm interested in "electronic reply". I answer using the formula they give.
• Three days later, they text me that they've sent the reply via traditional mail. 🤦
I wonder why they didn't accept my request to reply via e-mail. Was it that I quoted their original mail, or perhaps they didn't like the encoding my mail client used…

@dennisfaucher@infosec.exchangeLatest hack gave me free identity protection for a while. Why would one pay for this service when all the alters are "email address found"?
@jtk@infosec.exchangeAmazon rarely publicly discusses take down or incident response actions, which I'd guess makes this noteworthy:

@kaiengert@mastodon.socialI would like to see an initiative that evaluates messaging services that promise encryption and document the findings. For example, a service may claim that emails are encrypted and secure. However, if the secret keys are managed on infrastructure controlled by the service without further protection, there are limitations, and I wouldn't call it end-to-end encryption. I think it would be useful to have a neutral web page where users could lookup the security levels of services (or apps).…

@simon_lucy@mastodon.socialI have thought from time to time and with increasing frequency, that it's time to take back Web Content Search and that it should be Open.
That it should be federated; there isn't one owner of the crawler or indexer, fingerprints of crawling indicate when a page was last visited; a Service provides the next randomly distributed domain/sub-domain to crawl; post indexing has validation and verification steps (which have their own Steering and Metrics);relevance should be content,…
