I see the "Repeal the OSA" petition is gaining traction, but I can't be optimistic about it at all.

The best thing you can do is write to your MP - rub it in their face. If it's easy for you and you feel confident, go to their constituency surgery and raise the issue in person. Some important talking points that will "activate" MPs:

• British ingenuity and skill created the World Wide Web. Much of the technology that is popular and profitable today was developed in small, online communities that the OSA is destroying.

• If Labour's vision for a future Britain is one of technology and AI, the UK must be a leader in free discourse online, not a restricted, closed-down Internet state.

• Policing the entire World Wide Web isn't the UK's job. Ofcom is already stretched thin and this is a waste of resources that could otherwise be put to better use keeping UK citizens (including children) safe. Money is better spent on tooling and education for parents and children alike.

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.

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.

Getting a bit tired of that whole "Emulation/FPGA/Reproduction is not real retro" gatekeeping to be honest. Let peeps have fun the way they want to have fun. It doesn’t matter what YOU think about it.

I like repairing old hardware, don’t care as much about new retro stuff but many do & that’s ok. ☮️

Yay got some unpacking done and got my PC games unpacked. There is still a box of jewel case games someplace though. Got a couple simi rare ones in there.

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.
