B&Q's website (diy.com) is just totally unusable because they've turned it into a "marketplace" where >50% of the stuff listed isn't actually sold by or at B&Q.
I swear SEO and marketing people are a blight on humanity. I bet if they sacked off that whole thing and launched a "McMaster-Carr" style "just a fucking catalog of stuff we sell" site sales would skyrocket.
Like you could but together a band for a few hundred pounds each and that's SO COOL compared to how it was when I was young!
In a conversation with a friend on Saturday night I was marvelling at how cheap guitars (standard and bass) are actually acceptable enough that a new band could start out with them and be okay until they could afford to upgrade. This got me thinking about drum kits, because acoustic ones are pretty expensive, then I saw electric drum kits and they're not that much more expensive than guitars nowadays! :o
From my local WhatsApp group:
The Welsh Government are doing a consultation on its pro-trans schools policy. UK Gender Critical activists are upset and are trying to brigade it to push it in an anti-trans direction. Please fill out the consultation to try to reinforce the pro-trans stance.

This is your casual reminder to #selfhost At least that what you are comfortable with
#selfhosting is about being independent. About owning your data. About reclaiming the 'net and decentralizing it. It is about taking control. Being able to do things the way you see fit. And it is about breaking free from subscriptions and from big tech which is #enshittifying like there is no tomorrow.
Go #selfhosted the way you see fit. In small steps, one platform at a time - or with a head first dive if you are feeling adventurous. Share your experiences, write a blog about it, create a video or post about it on the Fediverse.
It most definitely is not too late to revolt. To give big tech the middle finger. Firmly stand your ground. Be a rebel.
