the world is in an absolute shit show of a state.

its incrdedibly depressing to watch it unfold and have zero power to do anything.

really getting to me today. And I shouldn’t complain because most people have it much worse off than me.

How does this Orwellian bill affect a single person website that federates on fediverse?

For example, my website is WordPress self-hosted, only I post on it, but I federate with the Activitypub plugin.

Does that mean I have to watch what I say less I get in trouble if I get federated somewhere where I get in trouble, or do I stop federating all together?

The bill is written on the UK government website under “Science and innovation section”, but this is anything but innovation.

A huge portion of the UK’s information is stored with US companies.

Health data; company data; people’s personal information; social interactions.

Both by choice and necessity.

This is mental.

What can we do to convince people how terrible an idea this is.

(this includes me at the moment)

Rest in Peace David Lynch

Gutted to hear that David Lynch has died.

Easily in my top three film directors. Possibly even the top spot.

Seeing Inland Empire in the cinema in 2006 (I think) completely blew me away. It still haunts me to this day. And turned me on to the music of Chrysta Bell.

Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Blue Velvet.

The guy was an immense talent.

Rest in peace Mr Lynch.

Crazy Clown Time.

The owls are not what they seem.
