I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

With the continuous cycle of heavy rain followed by bright sunshine the garden is basically becoming ungovernable.

I had assumed that I wouldn't be playing Forza Horizon 6 until Valve had done some work to make Proton compatible but it's Steam Deck Verified out of the box 🎉.

First day back to work after a week off and it seems like my work laptop has managed to drain its battery to the point of not even taking a charge… great start to the week.

I mean, look at it, how could you not want to see more. https://glass.photo/digitalpardoe/46GpXrUgknlru4sGePWTrS #Photography

Going through photos from a few weeks ago and I’m definitely sorry, not sorry to the people who own the (very) large garden I accidentally ended up in. https://glass.photo/digitalpardoe/61TxdL8aopvhGju88QNdQ2 #Photography

I started watching Harry's Farm on YouTube and I now find myself more invested in the local weather forecast for the sakes of a farm 20 miles away than for myself.

I've been giving Threads and Instagram another shot and oh, my, god, there are just so many ads - my car finance agreement was just fine Meta, no matter how bad you think it was.

I still can't help but take a photo of this tree every time I walk past it. glass.photo/digitalpardo... #Photography

It certainly won't win any awards for sharpness but I was still pretty happy I managed to catch this little guy in-flight above a field (the wide and over-cropped versions). #Photography #Wildlife #Bee #Insect

Indigo is really owning its own "popular links" section at the moment 😄.

I'm quite enjoying the R.A.D. Weather app, it's like CARROT weather but with an aesthetic I prefer.

Very glad we didn't plant any annuals at the weekend given the hail we've had this morning - this is not the May weather forecast I was sold.

The best cross-network experience available. mastodon.social/@soapboxsoftw...

One day I'd like to live in a world where the left can get behind one leader, even if they're not ideal, just so we can have some stability for a bit. It's something the right seem to manage, getting behind one person, even if they're a raging lunatic.

This is a great post about AI in the workplace.

I don't think about podcast episodes much after I've listened to them, they're fleeting entertainment for the most part, but this one, there was something more to this one.

If you've been after a great client for Bluesky & Mastodon you should definitely give Indigo from @soapboxsoftware.bsky.social a go when it launches next week. I've been using the beta and it's _so_ much better than OpenVibe, way closer to an Ivory or Mona experience.

Indigo will launch on iPhone, iPad, and possibly even Mac on May 12th

A collection of photos I made of the California golden poppy after a rain storm in 2022. I made these photos in nature and used a black backdrop and brought studio lights to Shell Ridge. (No flowers were damaged) Enjoy! #nature #photography

The peony, the allium, the rose and the tulip (and friends). #Photography #Flowers #Gardening

I wrote a thing about allotments, but also photography and feelings.

I put bluebells fairly high up on the "difficult to capture" scale, especially when you can't get to them during the most atmospheric conditions. They're still beautiful to look at carpeting a forest floor though. #Photography #Nature #Bluebells #Woodland

Cut, trimmed, pulled and generally tidied up. Is it time for food yet? #Gardening #Nature #Cheltenham

The 24th of April: 7am vs 8am. #Photography #Landscape #Rural #SigmaBF #Cotswolds #Fog

THE PEOPLE DO NOT YEARN FOR AUTOMATION

The main road to the school is closed today, and it's abundantly clear that a lot of the parents' legs and bikes do in fact work, and that they can make it to the school and back without an engine.

Okay, someone needs to turn the fog machine off now.

The best thing about the visibility this morning is that I don't have to be subjected to the GCHQ doughnut down in the valley.

I can't complain about the mist/cloud situation either. #Photography #LeicaLUX

It's a bloody good morning for the light (and the lens flare). #Photography #FujiX100VI #Rural #Landscape #Cotswolds

The "climber corner" of the garden is really putting on a show ATM.

I really don't need to see another sales pitch for what amounts to a system prompt and VSCode fork that you've held together with sticky-tape and Claude Code.

I don't think a nimble company would have to pay anything for AI coding tools at the moment - I'm pretty sure you could string together 12 months of free two week trials from enterprise sales people on the edge of losing it all in the bubble.

I just met three dogs who, upon discovering the muddy stream, suddenly didn't know who the woman with them was any more.

I really need the groundskeepers at the golf club to come and deal with my lawn. #Photography #LeicaLUX

I enjoy the fact that The Verge is a website that still gives a shit about being a good website.

You get some great views flying back to the UK from Italy. https://glass.photo/digitalpardoe/6spGwSHhVxPZ3cwlVMT0n5 #Photography

Progress in the garden is good this year.

A rare find, a dead-end and barely used section of canal. Great light on it too. https://glass.photo/digitalpardoe/65NleQWR1FYZmNBr33MbQx #Photography

Springtime bliss 🌱

If the influencers are to be believed everyone has already disposed of their copy of Lightroom because of the DaVinci Resolve beta, but if you haven't, Adobe have just released some nice updates.

The Cannaregio area on the north side of Venice’s islands definitely feels like one of the more lived-in and less touristy areas - I think it was my favourite place to wander around. https://glass.photo/digitalpardoe/6CtXouA4gdoFiwIMPwxdac #Photography

Water every corner you turn. https://glass.photo/digitalpardoe/5pcHj1YGimTcFUiEwPWekp #Photography

Even dogs love the light in Venice - probably for different reasons than the photographers though. https://glass.photo/digitalpardoe/23qdIXeBc0Dae0wEI6wFND #Photography

I've had the MacBook Neo for almost a month at this point, in that time I've basically not touched my M4 iPad Pro and you know what, I've not really missed the iPad at all. As soon as there's an OLED iPad mini I think that'll be the one for me, just for some reading and scrolling in bed.
