Truth Social has crashed from the traffic surge and in so doing accidentally created a hauntingly poignant image.

Discovered a well-hidden abundance of wild garlic growing near my house. Pesto is on the menu this week!

I am really excited to hear that @qgis is gearing up for their next major point release, 4.0!

Having been a user since 2014, the whole project is a testament to the awesome power of #FOSS software. A sizable chunk of my daily work would not be possible without #QGIS.

After a fantastic 6 years at Barnsley Council, I'm excited to join the West Yorkshire Combined Authority as a Data Engineer.

@gazza-d.bsky.social ah brilliant, this has been on my reading list for a while. Thanks for the heads up!

No amount of cycling ability or experience can make a difference against a distracted or dangerous driver. Such a tragic waste www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

@BicycleBen also interested in this. The enshitification of Strava has been going on for years. Remember when segment leaderboards were a free feature?

I know this was probably significantly debated in the Council, but was it really necessary to totally block a brand new bike lane for the Christmas Markets in Leeds?

How likely is it that the same would happen on a road for over a month?

2 steps forward, 3 steps back…

Welcome to all my new followers on bluesky 👋

Please note that I probably won't be able to see your replies, due to the way cross-platform communication seems to work.

Spent the afternoon adding some seasonal pictures to the @unchartedterritories homepage.

The images on the homepage _should_ automatically rotate based on the time of year, meaning it’ll go all cold, shivery and wintery in a few days time….

@writermonki just the norm on the web these days!

Plus, I'll always prefer the traditional chronological timeline made up of the people/things I follow over an algorithm.

I've found that one of the most important things keeping me on #Mastodon is the total lack of ads. #Reddit, #Instagram,
#Facebook etc. are pretty much unusable these days.

As #BlueSky sees a popularity surge, I can't help but feel that history is going to repeat itself again when the platform starts putting monetization above everything else.

Big news and a great step from The Guardian.

LinkedIn is "TikTok" for middle aged people.

You know how older people are always scared of TikTok messing up young people's minds with disinformation and bullshit, of influencers getting kids to do dumb shit for their profit? That's exactly what LinkedIn does for middle aged people: A constant stream of weird influencers selling absolute garbage to people who are unsure about what their job means and what they care about.

I have a truly irrational hate of Siri responding with “uh huh”.

We are proud to release DuckDB version 1.1.0 codenamed “Eatoni”.
