It seems to be a way for people to have a paywalled blog without building their own website.
- Comment on Tories would ban under-16s from social media 5 days ago:
Fine.
Renationalise and redistribute wealth though.

Definitely going to do this. Thanks for posting!
- Comment on UK urged to unplug from US tech giants as digital sovereignty fears grow 1 week ago:
Trump’s biggest legacy will be the global shift to open source. His second biggest legacy will be the decline the US empire.

For sure.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 week ago:
Perhaps expensive briefly but the overall savings would be colossal.
- Comment on NHS England quietly removes open source policy web pages 1 week ago:
What exactly was formerly open source? I think the NHS has the more to gain from open source than almost anyone else I can think of. Incidentally they are also sitting on possibly the most valuable dataset on the planet.
- Comment on Wafrn, a fedi software that also connects with bluesky 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never used it but I bet there are better things about Wafrn than integrating with bluesky :)
It’s great too see posts about fedi software though. We’re spoilt for choice and I love that.

- Comment on Been a long time since I smoked but if I opened the door to my fireplace and tossed in a kilo of pot and just let the smoke fill up the house will everyone in my house get high? 3 weeks ago:
Pigeons roosting in the chimney gonna get real thirsty.
- Comment on UK is ‘unwelcoming’ and ‘racist’ for overseas NHS health workers, warns top doctor 3 weeks ago:
They are already moving onto people with mental health problems like spectrum disorders. After that they will have people who are physically disabled and, as always, women.
They will never run out of ‘others’ to blame. It’s better to confront them on the economy, which there is only one of and is already getting destroyed by policies they want to extend.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 3 weeks ago:
Like a Chromebook.
- Comment on The truth behind the UK's so-called 'millionaire exodus' 4 weeks ago:
It’s worse: they are bidding everything up and making it more expensive for everyone else.
- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 4 weeks ago:
Am I missing something in the thought process here? Surely removing encryption just makes the entire UK uniquely vulnerable to having their messages read not just by UK intelligence but anyone. It doesn’t make any sense.
- Comment on YSK that Elena Kostyuchenko is an extraordinarily brave woman. 4 weeks ago:
I’m interested to know how you analysed it. Is there a piece of software you used?

That would be extremely groovy. Even just having a few flavours of algorithm that you can choose from would be really cool.

The more you think about it the more capitalism looks like a death cult.
- Comment on UK Wants All iPhones to Block Explicit Images Unless You Prove Age 4 weeks ago:
I’m against this for the surveillance and meddling in people’s private lives but I’m also for it because a) kids are getting fucked up by internet and, most of all, b) I like thinking about how MPs are probably oblivious to how burdensome this will be for google and apple to implement and the precedent it would set for every government being able to demand their own set of mods. It’s beautiful.

Weird. I thought it must have some kind of xenophobia connection judging by the reaction.

I’ve noticed that but have no idea why - can you explain?

Been happily hosting my stuff on it for three years now, with no previous experience 👍
- Comment on How do I get followers on mastodon (or any other non-thread social media) 5 weeks ago:
Follow hashtags and get stuck in to some conversations. It’s quite rewarding.
And well done avoiding instagram. I thought it was now just a graveyard for deluded millennial aspiration but apparently not!
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I prefer stories of random white dudes being in places they had no business being in because they went from their childhood home in the countryside to the big city, met the wrong people while they were drunk and woke up there with sunburn and knowledge of a great number of sea shanties.

This comment is art.
Have bookmarked.
- Comment on How the UK’s dependency on cars slows down the economy 5 weeks ago:
It used to be possible to live and work in much of the UK without a car. Where I live it is now basically impossible, unless you have a remote job, get food delivered and completely withdraw from society.
- Comment on Is it Possible that a Typical Quantity of Sneezes is Inherited/Genetic? 1 month ago:
I would say that it probably is but if it turns out to be cultural then that would be very interesting.
