Welsh; still takes photos with a big camera; rides bicycles and used to write about them at Cardiffbybike.wales. I'm one of those left-wing tree-hugger types. I also ramble on about music, technology and dystopian sci-fi from time to time.

Last Notes npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub15zu…s7lx After a decade of pay cuts, it's probably long overdue. npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub15zu…s7lx We still have a classic red one in the village. It appears to be filling up with books and DVDs rather than graffiti. npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub15zu…s7lx I love how England can just award itself a bank holiday because some gents kicked a ball into a net, but we can't have one for our patron saint. 🤣 npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub15zu…s7lx It didn't take long for the Fast to start fighting like rats in a sack, did it. 🤣 npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub12rk…uvf3 What I find odd in this day and age is nobody would bat an eyelid if someone took that photo with their phone. As soon as you take a mirrorless or DSLR out, the security guards start to swarm. 🤣 npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub15zu…s7lx You'd think he'd be more grateful after the BBC platformed him week in week out for the past decade. npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub1g0t…tvm4 This also only works if the people putting a microphone to his face call him out on what he's saying. They usually take what he's saying as gospel rather than reactionary nonsense. npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub1r7e…mre3 Another mask slip from the fash. They can only pretend to be civilised for so long before their true colours show through. npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin Call me nostalgic, but I really miss being able to click on a link without then spending 10 minutes opting out of all the cookies it seems to think are really important. They are not. Be gone with you. npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub15zu…s7lx That’s not going to please his mate Musk is it. 🤣 npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub1yyx…qa5g Had Microsoft not pivoted so hard to surveillance capitalism it may have been easier to give them the benefit of the doubt. Now I just see Recall as a means to extract behavioural surplus from its users. npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub1tvq…l6jk Not sure why we would want Fortnight on the Deck...we're a more discerning audience than that. 🤣 npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub15zu…s7lx Or, just not using Google for anything important...like your privacy. npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub15zu…s7lx It begs the question why we were killing a large but completely harmless shark in the first place. I'm starting to really dislike being human. We're an awful, invasive species. npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub15zu…s7lx They were doing the same with 20mph limits in Wales https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/english-tory-politicians-running-facebook-28449407 npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub1yyx…qa5g I still think of the 90s as just a decade ago. 🤣 npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub1yyx…qa5g It's a great, if sobering article. I'm getting used to seeing pages of condolence appear on the office intranet for colleagues I knew who I only considered to be a few years ahead of me. It's kinda alarming... npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub1yyx…qa5g I couldn't help noticing how "free speech absolutists" were mostly about ensuring that free speech was protected for nazis. Weird, huh!? 😂 npub1ckwk872z42yfqky5ys62va24szd2kmcd28gup547f02scj7ew23q2z6zem Gavin @npub1yyx…qa5g So, apparently allowing a petrostate to host COP was a really bad idea. Anyone not see that coming? 😂
