I stand corrected: the #BBC editor threw his hands in the air & dove in the #moshpit at the #glastonbury #kneecap set. I guess the BBC was caught between a rock & a hard place after they made a commitment to post it on the #iplayer. It's now available in its entirety, including "FUCK #KEIRSTARMER", #genocide, "#Israel #warcriminals' #FREEPALESTINE #palestineaction & funstuff like "#rodstewart is older than Israel" 😂 .

Enjoy what is ultimately a banger of a set!

BBC iPlayerGlastonbury - KNEECAPThe breakthrough Northern Irish rap trio bring their energetic hip-hop to Worthy Farm.

""The #BBC editor is going to have some job" said Mo Chara as he gazed at the 200+ #Palestinian flags dotted over the #Glastonbury crowd that came to see the #Kneecap set. Clearly, the editor must still be at it, because the #Iplayer still has no trace of their set, nor for that matter, of the #BobVylan set (where Bobby led with chants of "Kill the #IDF"). Anyone wanna take bets that the edit will end up in the #censorship excuses & lies bin?

If you haven't seen them yet, I urge you to watch Chris Packham's superb documentaries "Inside our Minds": two on Autism spectrum, one on ADHD and a fourth on Dyslexia. Expect to be surprised, to learn, and to be delighted by these stories each of which include short films made by #neurodivergent individuals to try to get across how they experience the world.
Really wonderful. I hope lots of people - parents, friends, colleagues, employers etc watch them. On #iplayer

BBC iPlayerInside Our MindsSee the world differently. Chris Packham shines a light on different aspects of our brains, helping neurodivergent people create beautiful films to explain how their minds work.

Fifteen years ago when I was working on #iPlayer at the #BBC we talked about when #broadcasting would be obsolete. I now watch hardly any broadcast video content, and that which I do I rarely consume live, I record it for viewing at my convenience. I listen to lots of radio but even that I take in the form of #podcasts. But my team didn't think about competition in the production side of things at all.

BBC NewsHow can traditional British television survive the US streamersSenior figures in the UK TV industry are contemplating how best to secure its future

Manufacturers who sell TVs in the UK & want the TV to run BBC iPlayer (BBC Public Service live/on-demand TV app) have to get their TVs certified by us. There's a large suite of tests & technical requirements - a colleague just pointed out to me that those docs are public:

certification.bbctvapps.co.uk/

TVs on UK sale now & marked with the iPlayer logo must support:
* TLS 1.2+
* Mutual TLS (client certs)
* HTTP/2+
* Service Workers
& lots more...those just caught my eye

@TheCybermatron
For different reasons I use a self hosted VPN located outside UK.

#TheGuardian recently began nagging me to go to the European edition but so far that's all. Presumably due to this change.

I use Brave browser so don't see ads.

Using a self hosted or #Mullvad #VPN is important these days, particularly in UK which is a surveillance state.

BBC #iPlayer also loves to abuse #privacy, recently stopped letting me use it to see what's on (not just blocking from watching content).

Just watched Big Brother (BBC 1954 adaptation) which includes some recgnisable stars.

It even has an "Intermission" 🤣

It's brilliant in its chilling portrayal of the contemporary. Scenes in person seem alive today online, on Twitter most obviously, and we are about to see even more of this 'double-think' play out in Trump's presidency. He even looks like 'Big Brother' in the play.

Anyway, free to watch on #BBC #iPlayer in UK. #BigBrother #PeterCushing #DonaldPleasance #WilfredBrambell #movies

Watched #PrideMovie last night, currently free on BBC #iPlayer.

Excellent in all respects, a true story which had me laughing and crying all the way through which is rare.

Lots of great British actors, some playing real but ordinary people doing amazing things to help each other facing an oppressive right wing state. So lots to ponder in these times. Not least the role of oligarchs controlling and dividing citizens through their control of media and political culture.
