NHS data grab postponed to Sep 1 

The NHS data grab was pushed back a few weeks. As a result, you have a bit more time to opt out of your data winding up with the likes of Palantir - Sep 1, where before it had been Jun 23. Best, though, would be to get it to your practice a week or so before then, to ensure it goes through in time.

Note that there are two parts to this - first is a "Type 1 Opt-Out", which prevents them from sharing your GP data; the second step prevents non-GP info like hospital treatments being shared. The first is the most important, and needs to be done by Sep 1. The second can be done online, if it's just for yourself.

The above link has one version of the form, or you can use NHS Digital's own (docx, unfortunately):

nhs-prod.global.ssl.fastly.net

You should be able to email this to your practice, or NHS Digital can post a copy to you if you call them on 0300 3035678.

urbanization was a mistake

I've gotten used to the Firefox redesign way faster than I expected

still not a fan of the icons on the new tab page, I might have to get a replacement for that

why does Firefox paste into the address bar whenever I middle click to open a new tab now (on Linux)? Surely that's a bug

*drinks a coffee* why am I still tired

oh heck yeah, the Umurangi Generation soundtrack is on Apple Music

holding the Switch after playing on the Vita makes it feel like the worse handheld, it's way heavier, larger and the bezels suddenly seem massive to me. Also the Vita, even my LCD model, has a really good screen

Gravity Rush kicks ass, I wish there was an easy way to share screenshots from the Vita

why did no one tell me that you're supposed to wear the blue side on the outside

quick reminder that this is the best PS Vita special edition

I don't know why I'm still thinking about this Vita launch title no one played
