The Green Party didn't just win in Gorton & Denton, they beat Reform and Labour into a distant second and third - congratulations Greens!

We are finally starting to get more mainstream articles about the dangers and privacy concerns of age verification. Adults shouldn't have to give up their privacy and sensative information to access services. There are other and better ways to keep kids safe online. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#Facebook now wants you to choose between paying for a subscription and selling your data. I think this is my breaking point. I don't use it much, but it does have its uses. You also have the option to close your account, so I might just do that instead 😞

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

And so it begins!... Just installed #HomeAssistant for the first time on a mini PC. It shouldn't take long to get it set up and migrate everything across to it. I'll report back in several weeks time haha.

The UK government are implementing age verification for social media "to prevent children under the age of 16 from becoming or being users". As an adult, I WILL NOT submit my private and personal details to 3rd party companies. All of which have already suffered data breaches. I will go without!

It's been many months now, but I just can't get used to the new #Netflix interface. It feels clunky and unintuitive. I have to do more scrolling to get to what I want, plus the thumbnails are oversized. I always thought #Netflix had a great interface before, but now it's as bad as Amazon #PrimeVideo

The Reform Nottinghamshire Country Council is planning to spend £75,000 on putting up flags!!! With all the services that are in dire need of additional funding, this is the most frivolous use of tax payers money. The public are getting tired of the Reform clowns!

Help fight against the introduction of digital IDs by signing the official petition. It takes less than a minuite! Lets show the government we don't want them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Here's my take on a homemade healthier fishcake. Chickpeas and broccoli blended with tuna. Some peppers and turmeric added too. And then some extra fish oil for that omega 3 goodness.

Did a bit of meal prepping yesterday. Instead of cooking an entire Sunday roast just for me, I've done my own scaled down version. Chicken, broccoli, peas, carrots, mushrooms and onion in a veg (sort of) gravy, with a side of sweet potatoes. It's nothing fancy, but good enough for me on a Sunday.

⏳Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.

Dear UK government and "law abiding" websites & apps... I will never give my personal details, financial information, or facial imagery to any third party company to "verify" me. I will simply just stop using the service.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

#Netflix's Standard plan is going up £2 to £12.99, which is way above inflation! IMO it's too much for what you get. I will cancel for at least 2 months this year to negate the increase. They're spending too much on all the sport that's now on. Perhaps make it an add-on for those who don't want it.

Tesla sales crash in Europe, UK. We can only wonder why
