Corporate Dominion eBook : Hopkins, David: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store Corporate Dominion eBook : Hopkins, David: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

Corporate Dominion - "a tense exploration of technology, power, and moral courage in an age where corporate ambition overtakes democratic ideals. It asks a haunting question: when efficiency becomes tyranny, who will dare to fight for the soul of society?"

Still Human eBook : Hopkins, David: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store Still Human eBook : Hopkins, David: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

Still Human - "a slow, unsettling portrait of emotional dissonance in a world that no longer tolerates it. There is no resistance. No rebellion. Just a man, a notebook, and the quiet realisation of staying real in a world that prefers you edited"

Any MacOS users out there? My browser hangs (firefox and safari) and has to be quit everytime I try to login to a website with passkey. I cant stop it happening, it jumps to the passkey login before I can use the password. What's happening and how can I fix it? #MacOS #Firefox

My #3GoodThings for w/e Oct 10th, 2025.

3. 7 days until 1/2 term and time away with family. Yay!! โœˆ๏ธ

3๏ธโƒฃ 'Sticky learning design': students juggle competing priorities and constant information flow/overload. Learning that connects to real-world contexts, invites reflection, and re-emerges over time is far more likely to stay with them.

1๏ธโƒฃ 'From click to completion': students value clarity and authenticity over polish. A concise, well-framed video with a clear purpose can have far greater impact than overproduced content that feels distant or impersonal.

Operational clarity Operational clarity isnโ€™t something that happens at the end of a project; itโ€™s something you have to build into delivery itself. When you think about what it means to deliver a project, especially โ€ฆ

"Good [process] documentation doesnโ€™t just fall out of the project as a by-product. It requires effort, structure, and a bit of discipline, especially in the busy workplace of delivery."

Instead of answering a question with an unrelated question, just answer the question so we can move on. There is no hidden agenda behind it, it's a simple question looking for a simple answer. Stop looking for issues when it's not there, this in itself creates the issues I'm trying to avoid!

I left Twitter because of the drivel the algorithm served and doomscrolling needed to find the once popular content I was there for. It now follows that Facebook and LinkedIn are heading in the same direction (for me) and I'm seriously considered dropping them both. Social media is no longer social.
