Wokeflake. My bio read "Not half the man he used to be." for a year. So I guess I can do better.

My avatar is a selfie, lying on the grass in Glastonbury, wearing a flowery £2 charity shop blouse and some £5 sunglasses.

Hobbies: expensive designer couture, obvs. Home automation. Jigsaws. Seething.

Passion: cooking. From a 65-dish Georgian (the period) Christmas dinner to a deep dive into Georgian (the country) cuisine sparked by a random mention of khmeli suneli.

Work: Project management.

@arstechnica the other issue I'm concerned about is other people's computers. I don't consent to my face being stored on a colleague's work or personal laptop after a work video call. Sure, they could screen grab it without me knowing, but it's a different level if the OS is doing it by default. How will companies police this?
