@davidgerard And don't forget to tick the box to get a transcript of the debate so you can see Liz Kendall say that glasses that let social media companies spy on you are fine but we're banning VPNs to stop under-16s accessing social media.

I think I saw someone asking recently what the next milkshake duck was going to be. Well, we've got that answer this weekend. #mullvad

We went out for a walk this morning after the rain, and were pleased to see a flock of house martins collecting mud from a newly formed puddle to fix up their nests.

Thunder and rain for a bit, then 30 degrees again. All perfectly fine, nothing to worry about.

The government could designate supermarket chilled aisles as cold places, thus dealing with the heat crisis in the same way as the cost of living.

I've been to the post office to drop off an item, got enraged by the browntops parroting far right attack lines and enjoyed the delicate aroma of a hot bin truck (it would have to be general waste today). I'm back in the study with a fan rearranging air.

[UKPol] Whoever it is who actually runs Labour have now had to bring in a leader from outside the parliamentary party twice, which may give an idea of how they view their MPs, let alone their members.

@Edent That post isn't resolving for me, was that the original? I don't use Amazon so it's no loss, annoying if I've fallen for a bit of ragebait though.

As the billionaire executive chairman of Amazon has said that water should be rationed for human beings to feed the plagarism machine, I have finally closed my personal Amazon and AWS accounts. It's a small thing, but I can't get to his stockade to cement over his water supply. #amazon #fuckbezos

[UKPol] The inexorable march of Reform UK plc continues, with three Parliamentary by-elections on the same day increasing their representation by none. Long may it continue.

Stamer's legacy is to hand over more data to the US tech duopoly, make mobile devices that don't run their operating systems effectively illegal and open the door for additional surveillance as when it is required by this and future governments. Just what the money wants. Well done everyone.

A chap around here has two young cockerpoos. One has a harness that says 'FRIENDLY', and the other has one that says 'ANXIOUS'. I find myself wondering if he swapped them sometimes, or has others, such as 'SARCASTIC' or 'ETERNALLY OPTIMISTIC' for variety.

@WiteWulf My local pharmacy can usually fill my repeat prescriptions the day I request them but they're on the electronic system now, which I don't think all trusts are yet. That said, they're literally a minute from the surgery and used to go and collect the paper scripts by hand.

@Edent I've nothing against it, apart from when, to pick a completely random example, you're in a place with poor phone reception and the place's wifi isn't working either.

@WiteWulf We're getting customers saying 'Claude says...' followed by a screed about their problem which is utterly plausible and mostly pointless. No, you pay us to tell you what the problem is.

Lidl have their own knockoff Vimto called Mixto. I humbly propose that as its name is similar to an aspect of the recording process, it's adopted as a Bonkwave beveridge. #bonkwave #vimto #notvimto

I switched my broadband to Brsk just before they got taken over by YouFibre. The connection is fine, but if you want to see a perfect example of enshittification, have a look at their Trustpilot reviews for the last month.

I've got @postmarketOS running with kde-plasma on my Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook. Only problem so far is that the touchpad is a bit jumpy, but I've rescued it from the ever increasing bloat of ChromeOS and it will be handy for when I don't want to carry a laptop around.

Just told the young local Labour candidate that we won't be putting up a sign for the elections. He didn't seem surprised, and I do hope they're able to send a message back to Labour HQ and that someone will pay attention.
