Stopped doing gear videos as there's a bunch of sad people who sit at home and constantly pick holes in other people's content. They think we have teams to fact check or produce these FREE videos for ONLY them. Problem is, if you then second guess it, your videos are 'too long', You can't win.

Another day, another stupid comment (partly why I don't do gear vids). Apparently my videos have to be correct in the future as well? Sure I'll just invent a time machine & nip to the future to check my videos! :-p Not the first, had a few. (pretty sure that stove didn't exist back then)

"You might be able to use audio recording as part of a home security system if it’s clearly signposted and the primary purpose is security rather than surveillance of specific individuals." - again, no-one actually does this. I think it's a grey area.

" privacy in their own homes" - but they're not in their own homes? Reminder: If recording in your own home conversations of others was illegal, everyone who has Alexa is violating this at this very moment anyone not them turns up, since it's listening. Ditto internal cameras.

Tim 🌈 ♾️🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤 @fingertrouble.bsky.social · 18h

That's for public. In the private of your own home, CCTV is totally legal, you can record what you want. But say if you secretly recorded something, then published it online yes you're violating their privacy and not OK unless journalistic use. Just recording for private use...more of a grey area.

(Anyone saying that they could be queer, sorry dear, we have our foibles but totally not this level of petty passive aggressive bullying crap! Not even close. We like...communicate? I know, it's a modern technology nor available everywhere at the moment /s)

Another daily episde of "Are the straights OK?' The answer is, of course...no. As always.

It looked on the trailer to be either fantastically bizarre folly, like Cruise's Waterworld - or maybe strangely really good/so bad it's good. Given I really hate Tom Cruise with the power of a thousand suns, I wasn't going to find out. But I raised an eyebrow.

To make myself REALLY clear - cos this is social media where some c**t comes along and tries to be fucking clever doing the ACHERLY bit - immigration/asylum is not the issue. But the issues that make people blame it ARE. Low wages, job security, councils not caring about their community etc.

000

Sure there are some extremely radicalised folk who have fallen down a bigoted rabbit hole...but the majority paying any attention to extremists is because of stuff like this. But oddly, those in power - Tory or Labour or whoever - find it easier to just ignore the core issues. It's baffling.

Nobody will put out this East London fire

A good explaination of why Reform is becoming popular. Reform won't actually DO anything, what is needed is to sort out the neglect rather than handwringing about 'stupid voters' www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiHQ... Sort out the problem, it cuts off the hot air (or methane) coming from the extremists.

Calling bullshit on the crap that women face in the street on the regular? Just wow. I'm male presenting (but non-binary) and even I've experienced men doing this, and know it happens. It's horrible. Believe women when they talk about this cos the reality is likely FAR worse and is underreported.

OMG I just realised they were in college and not a schoolkid. That's even worse...that no-one had told them that you piss/shit and try to camp 200 yards away from lakes and streams FOR A REASON. I.e. not polluting the water supply...and they were studying geography? Ugh.

And that's why you should never piss in streams...did they not bother to tell you the basics of the Countryside Code?

Or Menzies. Which like St John makes zero sense to me. I still call the shop Men-zees even though I know it's wrong. The ex-leader of the Lib Dems gets the proper pronunciation though.

Sadly mocking eating habits is the ableism it's OK to do, still. *sigh*

Tim 🌈 ♾️🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤 @fingertrouble.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Mocking you publicly is right out of order. I have issues with certain textures, likely autistic. I get all the 'picky eater' bullshit...parents were the same. "Picky eating" wouldn't have starved so much as a kid you could see my ribs? Also I have to eat every food in a meal in equal proportion.

Tim 🌈 ♾️🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤 @fingertrouble.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Yup, strictly eating pizza with your hands is poor table manners. 'Proper' table manners ou're supposed to eat pretty much everything with cutlery (yes I know Italians don't eat pizza that way, but it IS originally a peasant food - ditto tacos etc, street food, not fine dining).

Folkestone gave me the sketchiest stealth camp yet, camping not far from the Eurotunnel. Screams in the woods, shouting and mowing (?) and a dash to McDonald's for safety - only to find they don't fill bottles of water! Not a fan of Folkestone... www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwaM...

A new mini album of my recent choral pieces, orchestral doodlings, etc. WAY beyond my pay grade and probably a bit rubbish but they work well with the latest part of North Downs Way, which is what they were written for. The video of which is going live later. fingertrouble.bandcamp.com/album/choral

Also in reality - I am not very nuanced on Silicon Valley as a whole. I'd nuke it from orbit if I could.... Metaphorically of course, I add for purely legal reasons *cough*

But the sad part of predators using 'don't slut shame me' smokescreen as a defence is it also stops people like me saying "hey let's not throw EVERYONE under the bus?" Ick. (btw not cis, not male, not het, before anyone goes off)

And yes, fuck those people - violating consent or 'blurring lines' is shitty, and sounds like a lot of dodgy power dynamics going on in the AI/Silicon Valley scenes. That's shit. Consent is vital for extreme kink play, anyone who doesn't do that should be expelled from said scenes immediately.

Big names in AI and Silicon Valley tech announced yesterday that they're launching a boarding academy for 16 to 22 year olds. (Would you trust the people in this scene with keeping an eye on minors?) theacademysf.com

Thrilled to announce our latest incubation: Horowitz Andreessen Academy.

Horowitz Andreessen Academy will be a two-year residential program in San Francisco for 16 to 22 year olds.

My biggest regret from my college experience is how divorced it was from the real world (both practically but also intellectually)

HAA is the opposite. Students will learn from real-world practitioners and intellectuals; including founders (Sam Altman, Brian Armstrong, Jensen Huang), investors (Elad Gil, Daniel Gross), and professors (Agnes Callard, Tyler Cowen), among hundreds of others. The Academy is the educational experience I wish I had.

In 1984, the educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom published a paper about how the average student who received one-on-one tutoring focused on mastery techniques performed better than 98% of the control group. For generations, this was viewed as unrealistic to implement even if it produced the best outcomes.

Yes SF is awash with polycules & kink scenes...cliche at this point. Linking that to power and certain industries is Very Bad Idea. But please can we not tar polyamory with action of idiots who don't understand it (as someone who has been poly since the 90s) please? Coercive control it is not.

Tim 🌈 ♾️🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤 @fingertrouble.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Reminder: can we not link poly with CNC? Different things, although I know how poly can bleed into kink and alt sex scenes, it's not automatic. Ick.

000

Tim 🌈 ♾️🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤 @fingertrouble.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Wow. From what I know about CNC scenes, consent is MORE essential and important, not less, as is pre-negotiation for that well before anything happens. Blanket consent only works with people you know really well and trust to speak up, not strangers.

"You're not an AI Influencer" - yes, and might be more trustworthy in this debate than a crypto bro that pivoted into shilling plagiarism clankers? AI bros ALWAYS assume you have zero skin in the game, zero knowledge. Some of us have been using this shit since slug & dogs, but realised it was cack.

Non-binary creators are sort of doomed, cos we don't fit any of these moulds, as Marx said, "I Don’t Want to Belong to Any Club That Will Accept Me as a Member" The problem is if you talk about it, people just read it as sour grapes or suggest you just 'Borg Assimilate' - neither which is good...

Tim 🌈 ♾️🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤 @fingertrouble.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

The algorithm is grooming folks at this point! Into being a certain sort of creator, and if you don't fit those boxes (including being attractive/cute), no views for you. A certain sort of queerness is OK, where the others are shoved under the carpet? That's what it feels like.
