We’ve been laundering their money long enough - about time they spent some of it with us!
- Comment on Call to fix palliative care before assisted dying 4 days ago:
Apparently it used to be more like that here in the past until a doctor called Harold Shipman helped loads of people die who didn’t actually want to die.
It made a lot people uneasy about doctors administering lethal doses of painkillers.

According to this article:
housing developments add to the problem with extra wastewater and sewage from new homes as well as run-off from construction sites.
Pretty much everything people do is polluting now and wipes out the fish.

So apparently the problem is that:

- Comment on New Housebuilding in the UK Held Back by Pollution from Factory Farms 1 week ago:
I know and I’m aware of the massive damage that it does to our waters, I’m just not sure why it’s used as an excuse to not build houses in such areas. Does housing add to the problem of nitrates getting into the water or something? So many problems would go away if went organic and banned all fossil fuel derivatives.

What is the issue with building houses where there are high nitrogen levels?
- Comment on Poll reveals the amount of Brits who would take weight-loss jabs for free on NHS 2 weeks ago:
The sort of diet that makes you overweight or obese causes loads of other problems. This might keep people out of the doctors in the morning for weight problems but they’ll be there after lunch for heart disease or cancer.

- Comment on Nine in ten honey samples from UK retailers fail authenticity test 3 weeks ago:
Apparently that’s why there is no organic honey produced in the UK. You need to be a certain distance away from land that is sprayed with chemicals to get organic certification for your honey and nowhere in the UK is that far away.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Is that controlled by the operating system or something else? I’m curious about whether my Debian laptop does the same.
- Comment on Stop Wasting Pumpkins! 5 weeks ago:
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were travelling abroad and needed a place to sleep for the night. They stopped at a farm and asked the farmer if they could sleep there. The farmer said “Yes, you can. But all of you must promise not to have sex with my beautiful daughter.” They all solemnly agreed and were shown to their room for the night.
One by one though, each of them was overcome by temptation and sneaked down the hall to farmer’s daughter’s bedroom to have their wicked way with her.
I’m the morning they came downstairs and were greeted by the farmer. “Good morning!” he said, “I hope you all slept well. Take a basket each and go out and pick something from my farm to eat for breakfast”. Being very hungry from their travels they all eagerly went out to look for their favourite food.
The first to return was the Englishman. The farmer was waiting for him - with a loaded shotgun. “I know what you did last night!” shouted the farmer, pointing his gun at the Englishman. The Englishman threw his hands up in the air, dropping the basket of strawberries he’d picked for breakfast. “Bend over and put those strawberries up your arse and let that be a lesson to you!” The Englishman did as he was told and pushed the strawberries up his bum. Seeing that the farmer was satisfied the Englishman ran out the door and off into the distance.
Next to return was the Scotsman. “What did you pick for breakfast young man?” asked the farmer. “I picked carrots” answered the Scotsman. “Well put them up your arse you dirty bastard!” screamed the farmer, pulling out the shotgun “I know what you did last night!” “Please dont shoot me sir!” Cried the Scotsman, as he painfully pushed each of the carrots up his bum before making a break for it and running out of the house.
Last to return was the Irishman, carrying his basket on his back. “You dirty lying son of a bitch!” screamed the farmer “You had sex with my daughter last night!” “Now tell me what you picked for breakfast.”
The Irishman heaved his basket onto the floor with a thud.
They both looked down at its contents.
“I picked a pumpkin sir.”

Peachy. Sounds like there’s nothing to worry about then (from a user POV).
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 1 month ago:
I’ve installed it from F-droid but still. Fuck google. They really do need breaking up.
I heavily rely on Syncthing. Does anyone know what the outlook is for Syncthing-fork, or what the likelihood is of someone taking on maintenance of this version?
- Comment on X's controversial changes to blocking and AI training saw half a million users leave for rival Bluesky in just a single day 1 month ago:
Man I think it’s already done, and been done for a long time, without AI. So much of who we are now is based on and informed by what we’ve read and watched online. It’s our been our dominant frame of reference, language and value system for quite a while. We are the AI.
- Comment on X's controversial changes to blocking and AI training saw half a million users leave for rival Bluesky in just a single day 1 month ago:
While I agree that it makes Mastodon less entertaining I also think that it makes it a lot more fair, representative and trustworthy as a lens through which to observe & participate in social discourse and share information and opinions. That in itself will probably mean that it remains less popular but I think it’s also what makes it more valuable IMO. We need to calm down from the urgency of the digital dopamine cycle, for many reasons. If social media is a truly human media then it should be boring at times because that is a human reality that we are adapted to.
- Comment on The feds are coming for John Deere over the right to repair: The farm equipment giant has fought against letting farmers repair their own equipment for years 1 month ago:
Remember that many of their customers are young contractors on credit who have valued ‘brand identity’ over more practical concerns.
You don’t see many old boys on their tractors, in the same way that you wouldn’t see many of them using Apple computers.
My bet is that a decent proportion of the John Deere owners who are up in arms about this are those who bought one while they were young and impressionable, then realised that they were getting punished for it and that they couldn’t offload it on their younger contemporaries because they wanted a new one and couldn’t offload it on their older contemporaries because they were too wise. These modern tractors are enormous investments.

- Comment on Radio Free Fedi - sounds from the Fediverse to the Universe 2 months ago:
It’s a community internet radio station that plays music (and some spoken word) from artists on the Fediverse.
I love it, especially their ‘Comfy’ channel.
