@zzt @marisa aye, I got the same. However, I'm outside the US, so perhaps Wired (reasonably) feels my civil liberties are less affected by not having access to this data?

Class!

Maybe he's getting a little homesick for the underground?

This is genuinely important and good news: as I expected, no British jury is going to convict #PalestineAction activists of non-violent protest.

Of course, this is why the UK government is trying to get rid of jury trials, but ...

Will the proscription of Palestine Action as a 'terrorist organisation'(!) also fall?

@meganmariehart I see it. But I boost or quote only things which have value.

@evan You can, however, dance on it.

Ouch. Much sympathy.

I'm also London born and will never return -- but that has more to do with #Autism and severe discomfort in overcrowded spaces.

@eclectech It's likely to be shorter.

@eLearningTechie The thing about Open Source software is that if it doesn't do what you want, you can extend it to do what you want -- but you may need to learn a lot more about it than you really wanted to!

Still, it was a hugely fun project, and a really useful tool.

@eLearningTechie @david_chisnall I also use Inkscape for all my vector drawing stuff, but, to be honest, it's mainly technical rather than artistic.

Having said that, I have used Inkscape to create animated graphics, and even (for a past employer) created a palette of animated components which could be dragged and dropped into Inkscape drawings.

@eclectech I've done some animation of SVG using JavaScript and later #ClojureScript (for interactive electricity grid display diagrams). The technique works but it's very geeky and pretty niche.

(The original diagrams were drawn using Inkscape, and we created a palette of active components you could add into Inkscape drawings)

There's a demo here which shows the concept:

Unless you're comfortable with writing software this is not the right technique for you.

@Lazarou The Sudetenland wasn't in the UK either. The UK has a long and honourable tradition of giving away chunks of other people's countries to appease fascists.

@afewbugs Aye, indeed.

And so have all of us.

Any male person denying this observation is being dishonest with someone, quite likely starting with himself.
