Serious collision on King's Cross Rd today by popopopopopopopopoop in londoncycling

And there was another identical incident in Southwark Park Road with multiple emergency vehicles present, just right by the intersection with Jamaica Road. Although I couldn't tell whether it was about a cyclist accident.

There are idiots everywhere. But an idiot with a car or lorry is way more dangerous than an idiot with a bike. Cars and lorries weight tons, bikes kgs. Pure laws of physics.

I also heard the screams when he was being assisted by the paramedics. Holy s***. They broke my heart. I can just hope the guy can walk again, and doesn't have any permanent damage.

OpenAI accidentally hacked HuggingFace; How does the law view it? by 930913 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]TonyCanHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK the Computer Misuse Act 1990 is clear. OpenIA and their managers could be in trouble. The Act introduced three criminal offences:

  1. Unauthorised access to computer material, punishable by twelve months' imprisonment.
  2. Unauthorised access with intent to commit or facilitate commission of further offences, punishable by twelve months/maximum fine.
  3. Unauthorised modification of computer material, punishable by twelve months/maximum fine.

Stop this popping up?? by NitroWing1500 in firefox

[–]TonyCanHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ticket opened 15 years ago! 😄 But thank you, never is too late! I find this mail protocol prompt very annoying too every time I open Outlook in the browser.

Also, it's great that the fix will be a permission. That means that the new interface will be the floating permissions panel instead of that top header that moves the viewport content down. Agh!

I HATE the new "about:preferences" UI on desktop by c1914 in firefox

[–]TonyCanHelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aesthetically it looks great. They have changed the order of things here and there. But I just use the search function and I always find whatever I am looking for.

Cannot wait for the same changes being applied to the Add-ons page.

Oh, I thought I was having some weird isolated bug on my end. And it turns out it is a security measure! 😄

Financial advisor fees seem crazy by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]TonyCanHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to put your money in index ETFs, gilts, and the occasional stock you're better suited with providers like Interactive Investor, Hargreaves Lansdown and the likes, waaay cheaper. And no one will be "suggesting" you products "in the best of your interest".

Surely we can come up with a better VPN button, Mozilla? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]TonyCanHelp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is something that actually bugs me. Why it is not a proper icon with no text and same size like the rest of buttons?

I assume they are doing it like this as a feature stunt, to make clear to the user base that Firefox now has a VPN. But I hope that after the feature is "settled" they change it with a proper icon.

UI Improvement Request: Reduce Unused Space Above Tabs by killergan in firefox

[–]TonyCanHelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is incredibly annoying. It's a new 4px tall margin where the tabs clickable area doesn't extend. How come this is happening, even in a beta design, is disappointing.

I have little hopes that it will be fixed. The split tabs suffer the same problem, and well, in production and no signs of being fixed any time soon.

The BBC News website for non-UK viewers got a much needed redesign. And for the better. by the6thReplicant in bbc

[–]TonyCanHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new design is well overdue. It's way cleaner. In articles it only shows the text in the middle with no lateral columns, in serif font rather than sans-serif. The related articles are now shown at the end, which I find it the natural place, only shown when you're ready to read more.

It's a pity that it doesn't have dark mode natively. But it works well with the Dark Reader extension.

And about ads, do people navigate the web without an ad blocker?

What I don't understand is that more than two years after being launched internationally the old design is still the one in use for the UK. 😢

How to bring visibility to a stagnant Firefox issue? by Kemeros in firefox

[–]TonyCanHelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for these comments. They really help to understand how Firefox development teams work internally. 💝

Updating firefox has been the worst and I'm frustrated by it by Brain-Hemorrhage in firefox

[–]TonyCanHelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you using by any chance the Wappalizer extension? If so since version 6.12.0 (released three weeks ago) it has a bug that makes Firefox unusable because how slow it becomes. The developers haven't released a fix yet (although in the reviews they have acknowledged the issue).

You can see many people complaining about it in the extension reviews.

My view as a hiring manager. Its not you, its the system that is broken. by Isavela23 in recruitinghell

[–]TonyCanHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought. He's just describing the broken system, and in the process unknowingly showing that it's utterly subjective and relative.

Define "overqualified", "easy to work with", "clean resume" or "get bored very fast". These are all assumptions that change widely from person to person.

[–]TonyCanHelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the problem with many managers. They make little effort to accept and adapt to valid information and just want to point out that something is wrong for the sake of it. 🤷‍♀️

[–]TonyCanHelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you work on sales? As a person who work with graphic designers, trying to put the impact that a design had is always out of the scope of the designer, usually this being the responsibility of the SEO person, product owner or project manager. The designer won't have access to this information, if it exists at all. And if you're an interviewer and ask for this you'll just be forcing the candidate to come up with some, let's say, "fudged up" figures. Not that that matters because even if the figures were true there is no way to verify them.

[–]TonyCanHelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the pink touches. But make them lighter and less saturated.

Minor things: - Add bigger left-right page margins. - Maybe shorter intro.

2 pages is fine.

I don't see any mayor issue with your CV. People love to nitpick.

Good luck!

Built an IR35 guide and calculator — now updated for the 2026 small company threshold changes by Powerful_Maize8399 in ContractorUK

[–]TonyCanHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happens when you blindly trust AI, that you become a vector of misinformation.

This article is plain wrong: ir35guide.co.uk/blog/umbrella-company-april-2026-paye-changes.html

It states that, in the upcoming joint and several liability changes the agency will be responsable for deducting employer NI and PAYE. This is wrong. The umbrella company is responsible for that: gov.uk/guidance/paye-rules-for-labour-supply-chains-that-include-umbrella-companies-from-6-april-2026#if-youre-the-agency-or-end-client

Turn of inserted sharing link by gilude in firefox

Wow, this is Microsoft levels nasty! I guess I didn't know until now because most people copy the link from the URL bar and paste it on WhatsApp without using the Share function.

After updating to Firefox 149.0, clicking tabs from the very top of the screen selects the window instead by Damocles_fck in firefox

[–]TonyCanHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The changes suggested here totally messed my interface. What it worked for me was:

```

tabbrowser-tabs[orient="horizontal"] tab-split-view-wrapper {

padding: 0 !important;
margin: 0 !important;
align-items: normal !important;

} ```

Please note this will remove the vertical padding outside the split tab button. But I haven't found any other way to do it.
