- Comment on Wales 20mph: Calls made for 1,500 roads to revert to 30mph 4 days ago:
As someone who lives in Wales and drives, cycles and walks around daily, I think this is a great policy, but poorly communicated and has been a target by populist politicians which has fed into the discontent.
I agree. This is an outstanding, evidence-based policy of exactly the sort we should be implementing, albeit one that’s been communicated awfully and failed to be defended against the prideful ignorance of the populist right amidst Welsh Labour’s political turmoil.
I think I’ve accepted in my head that the similarly maligned Sustainable Farming Scheme will have to be watered down due to Gething’s misadventures and our consequent inability to defend even well-constructed, evidence-based policy against populist rhetoric, but I really hope the 20mph speed limit survives this painful, reactionary period at least.

I don’t think that link says what you think it does.
- Comment on Proton Wallet Review: Is Proton Losing Touch? - Privacy Guides 1 week ago:
I think their venture into crypto was a remarkable shift in their proposition, one that led me to immediately end my subscription. I moved to Migadu the same day they announced Proton Wallet.
- Comment on Haptic: A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes 1 week ago:
Looks like you can self-host a web version of it, which is handy. Plus it’s always nice having open-source alternatives to closed-source, commercially-led apps.
- Comment on It’s time to retire the term “user” 3 weeks ago:
I like the human-centred language, strange as it feels on the tongue. I wonder if it might help frame development a bit better in place of ‘user’ or ‘customer’ — aside from the more real distinction between humans and AI we’re all going to have to get used to in design.
