https://cartes.app/ keeps on suprising me with better and better updates First OSS maps app that has 10/10 satellite maps _and_ 3D buildings! Still not as nice as Apple Maps with it’s super fancy building models but so close now!

I took a bit of an off today. Caught the edge of a rut and went for a bit of a slide. I’m fine but gonna need a new windshield and baggage rack. Oh, and I’m gonna ache a bit in the morning 😂 I wouldn’t mind so much but it was a totally benign bit of trail - just one of those things? #motorcycles

WTF? Ensablement!! I’m not in Algeria again, I’m in Norfolk! #motorcycles

This will be the 1000th post I’ve made that has been bridged onto #bluesky by @bsky.brid.gy#bluesky Honestly, it’s a really, really great tool. Nice work all those who have built and maintained it! 👏

Do you own/run a café or a bike shop? Did you know that 1000s of people rely on the Open Street Map to find facilities like yours? If YOUR shop isn't on www.openstreetmap.org then I GUARANTEE you're losing out on potential customers! Go add your business now! And please boost this?

Just in case it’s something you are looking for, I know someone with the Laravel skillz who will be available soon.

Wtf? Mandelsson failed DV?? Shit, even I passed PV (as it was called then). #ukpolitics

I was just thinking about what a local ex-green party councillor told me about why he went independent. He said he was “deep green” and I just realised - to make deep green, you add blue…

Somewhat dramatic sunset this evening. Untouched image. #norfolk #iphone

RE: https://social.opensource.org/@osi/116408871457829492 Really happy to see this move. @osi are REALLY lucky to have @duane! 👏

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116408720976324749 Whether the whole concept of age verification is good or bad (and I very much think it is far more nuanced than that), having a single, gov supported, way of doing this that is open has to be better than the ugly […]

Oh yeah. I'd absolutely never tell a random doctor at, say, an emergency room what my ASAB was.

So, Trump wants to “rip up” the US/UK trade deal. Great! This will help keep his grubby little fingers off our Crown Jewels, like the NHS. Bring it on. #ukpolitics #uspolitics

Right, how do we get @zackpolanski.bsky.social to follow @ap.brid.gy and, therefore, make it possible for anyone on the reverse to interact with him? Same goes for any #greenparty accounts on BlueSky.

Ah - I see where the problem is – you’re crossing the streams. Never cross the streams. Bad things will happen…

Somebody should probably let @deque.com know that their homepage isn’t valid html - you can’t use flow content inside a <h1>. www.deque.com

No Kemi, Iran is not “an enemy of our country”. Don’t say things that are not true. #ukpolitics

Right, if anyone asks, Orbán was on for a dead-cert win until JD Vance turned up last week… 😉 #hungary

Oh good, we've reached the "if I can't have it nobody can" stage of diplomacy.

If the high costs I have to pay for electricity keep the AI data centres out of the country, it’s worth every penny! https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/09/openai-pulls-out-of-landmark-31bn-uk-investment

Has anyone got a really, really tiny violin I can borrow? 🎻 https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/26006086.prince-edward-visits-andrew-mountbatten-windsor-sandringham/

Just watched a woman with a double pushchair ramming it through the gap between the wall and a car parked on the pavement. Tonight, you are a bloody superstar!! 😍😍👏👏

An "AI" company saying "we have this super magic new model that is so powerful that we cannot release it" is just marketing. It's the old OpenAI scam. Anthropic needs to keep the hype going to ride it to the IPO. That's all this is.

To be honest, Pete Hegseth is probably about right that Operation Epic Fury “decimated” Iran’s military. Being somewhat lacking in education, though, he seems unaware that “decimated” actually means only a 10% reduction in capability. #uspolitics

🌮?

£10 to whoever scoops up Trump and drops him in The Hague

Ah fuck — I’m gonna end up involved with the local Green Party again, aren’t I??

🆕 blog! “Did WordPress VIP leak my phone number?” As discussed in my last blog post, the scumsuckers at Apollo.io have been giving out my personal details. Not only did they have my email address, they also had a copy of one of my phone numbers. I asked them where they got it from and they […]

if you have avoided updating an iOS device because of some combination of hating the new UI or age verification nonsense, please be aware that a critical security patch has been back-ported to iOS 18 so you can install just the patch without a full upgrade.

Our pub quiz team name for tonight is “Artemis Poo”

1. Throughout history, leaders have committed acts of civil disobedience to challenge unjust laws. Add Samantha Boucher to that list. Boucher walked into the Kansas Statehouse bathroom in front of police, deliberately violating one of the most extreme anti-trans law in the country.

Friends, if you haven't already, it would be a big favour to me if you could enable tags.pub to boost your public tagged posts. Just follow @_followback . It will follow you back, and when you make a post with a hashtag in it, the server will boost your post from the appropriate hashtag. If […]

So, Trump wants to pull out of NATO. Does this mean they will close the US bases in UK? Because that would be AWESOME!!! #uspolitics #ukpolitics

You see, the thing is no country on Sarth is going to trust a word coming out of the USA for a generation. Or two. It’s not just Trump. #uspolitics

Oo fuck — people can see me. How am I supposed to smuggle these Kit Kats now???? #tdov

No, we’re better off restructuring our country so we don’t use large amounts of oil. All those windmills you don’t like? They’re doing a great job of weening us off the stuff. We need to make more. Many more. #uspolitics #ukpolitics #oil

If you are the Prime Minister and plan to put out a clear, unambiguous statement that you are definitely not going to commit British troops to an invasion, it’s probably best to make sure, at the same time, your anted forces are not putting out a video of their largest parachute deployment […]

$10 days these US ground forces are going into Lebanon.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@drupalassoc/116297327599846994 I am sure the @drupalassoc belated messaging explaining why they chose to go ahead with yet another DrupalCon NA in the USA after years of pleading not to will come to reassure many. Maybe some will take reassurance that they can go to […]

Reviewing a web component that had a toggle switch to set an image to be “decorative” by not requiring alt text. The question I ask myself, though, is how does the editor know what makes an image decorative? What is the one sentence definition I can ask to be placed next to the toggle so that […]
