What happened to Postman?!
Insomnia is a bit more like classic postman, though it's kinda heading the same way too.
Ended up falling back to cURL and shell history for REST stuffs a lot of the time.

How do I get rid of the VPN logo?
Right click, remove from toolbar or something very similar.

What languages/frameworks for small, very low usage apps on limited hardware?
Go is quite nice for this, generally low traffic services are less than 100mb used memory if you're using the standard lib stuff and it's not a huge jump from the JVM to Go.

Learning to Cook
Love cooking but not trained in any way shape or form.
For ease and confidence building, I absolutely love a slow cooker. Some dishes are "roughly chop and add these ingredients, stir, and then walk away for 8 hours" and are pretty forgiving on the timing as well.
If you're comfy with pancakes and french toast, could try more pan-fried foods - omelettes are fairly forgiving and if they end up not being whole, you've got scrambled eggs 😅. Could also consider some oven tray bakes like https://www.hairybikers.com/recipes/view/spanish-style-chicken-bake - these need a little more precision on cutting (mainly potatoes to be honest) but not much, and again are walk away and leave to cook.
Hope that helps!

The pain of explaining why Product can't have their cake, eat it, give it away and sell it to the highest bidder all at once is real 🤣

Union sounds alarm over teachers being forced to perform complex medical procedures
Article text:
HEAD teachers in Wales have sounded the alarm over the worrying number of complex medical interventions that staff are having to perform on students.
Nine in 10 (92 per cent) of the school heads surveyed by the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) Cymru said they were required to perform procedures in the classroom.
But only a third (33 per cent) of the 339 respondents said they had received sufficient training to help students properly.
The most common interventions concern pupil’s mobility, personal care such as support with using the toilet and administering medication.
Other procedures teachers named by teachers included respiratory and cardiac monitoring, catheter and stoma care, tube feeding, the use of hoists and mental health intervention.
NAHT Cymru blamed “longstanding underfunding and insufficient capacity” in Wales’s school system.
National secretary Laura Doel said: “Insufficient medical provision is leading to a two-tier experience for pupils, with some of the most vulnerable children relying on school staff rather than qualified clinicians for essential care.”

We’re hiring in the UK for the first time. What’s the best way to do it?
Am on the other side of one of these, and worked for a UK based firm hiring overseas in the past too. Am not a lawyer or any other legal person and am not capable of giving valid legal advice (which you should definitely get).
EOR is often easiest to start as they take on a lot of burdens but are spendy (monthly fee on top of employee costs). They then work for the EOR, permanently seconded to your company.
Uk working norms are much closer to Europe - we take holiday/PTO/leave and expect to not only use it all but carry it over if we can't use it. Working hours are generally max 40/week, there's a legal right to under* 48/week on a rolling average that has to be opted out of contractually, and there are rights to parental leave, flexible working and other things that you'd have to cater for as well.
Repeat and echo - speak to a lawyer/solicitor/HR professional with experience 😁

With the seemingly endless number of divisive topics in society and the news, what are some anti-divisive/unifying things we can do/discuss to create a feeling of community, online or in person?
Cats. Cats are nice.
