This is the sort of thing expected in Trump’s America, not here. I wonder what the rationale for this could be?

Sorry, let me be more constructive, here's a comprehensive guide on why age verification not only _does not_ work, but cannot work — and harms everyone, of all ages, on the internet: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
Screenshot from my Mac:
Vibe coded a @iconfactory.com Tapestry connector that tracks Claude Code updates in the timeline, lifted from the changelog on GitHub.
Shows version releases, categorised changes, and links directly back to the changelog.
It's here: github.com/smithi1/tape...
Omg. I can’t wait to watch this!
Our first episode in front of a live audience, and the first to feature other voices.
I’ll definitely be including this in all my C# projects going forward!
At the Leeds Testing Atelier today for fun, learning and two firsts for the @whatalotofthings.com podcast. These are: recording in front of a live audience, and hopefully the inclusion of other voices in the recording.
Audience participation for the win!
Well, guess what’s going to be going round and round in my head all day 👂🐛
It’s us again! A fun one this time, including an announcement of our upcoming recording in front of a live audience.
🎙️ Just published a new episode of What A Lot Of Things: Tech talk from a human perspective: Presentations and the Demise of Skype. Have a listen:
One where Things get out of control.
As a species, it’s sometimes hard to avoid the conclusion that we’re idiots.
Rather pleased to be back in Aberystwyth after an absence of about 18 years. I think I was first here in 1988. While a lot has changed over that time it’s all still very recognisable.
I think it's more nuanced than that.
I find it very helpful, and it speeds some work up a lot, but to get the benefit I have to be really clear on what I need from it, and what good looks like. Then relentlessly and iteratively understand and evaluate what it does. Not a replacement for thinking.
Well if it isn’t our first ever video episode!
And yesterday, Claude Code came out, totally upstaging my Thing. youtu.be/AJpK3YTTKZ4?...
Is this our longest-ever episode title?
Es ist eine Gratwanderung
Ok, harassers from Twitter. I saw the post on there directing you to other accounts I have such as this one. It’s been years now, and I’m so tired of you and your one joke.
Please just leave me alone.
If not, I guess will have to keep on with the tiring and depressing task of blocking you.
This is a fun way to spend… some time.

In other news, it strangely bothers me that there are no hits on Bluesky search for the town where I live.
So this message is a sort of public service for anyone else from Ilkley who comes here.
I finally found my invite code from June 9th in my spam mailbox. So here I am.
