From @windowscentral.com: Anyone need any more evidence that Google is evil? I'm guessing this is a DNS and/or browser thing and since I no longer use either Chrome of Google DNS... #google #youtube #dns www.windowscentral.com/software-app...

From @theregister.com: Yep! I got fed up with Chrome then went back to my old faithful, Firefox (@mozilla.org @firefox.com) and went, nope! Now I'm vacillating between duckduckgo and Opera! www.theregister.com/2025/06/17/o...

As a left winger, I value welfare, socialism, care regardless of circumstance. Humanity is better together. I believe in rights, responsibilities and, hell yeah, I’m woke! #left #leftwing #right #rightwing #fascist #fascism #rights #woke #atheist #atheism ukatheist.org/articles/art...

I kind of sympathise, I've been looking around for a decent browser and @firefox.com (or clones thereof) was/were ones I tried. Although I regard it as my second browser, I didn't settle for Opera and I'm currently using duckduckgo's own (and that's negotiable). www.zdnet.com/article/why-...

My concern is that this might be some kind of national "virtue signalling" or something... I mean surely they need to be here to deal with those charges? Haven't they got to be deported back to Romania, answer charges there, and then be deported to the UK?

I'd love to say this kind of thing couldn't happen in the UK but with #Reform PLC gaining more and more influence I'm not so sure anymore. Being #gay, being any kind of #minority or anything other than white, straight, fully able and male (which I am) is hard, even here.

I've often been accused of bias in my opinions, because I rely on organisations I consider reliable such as @fullfact.org. Ultimately there's nothing wrong with #bias as long as it makes sense to be so and yes, I am biased against #misinformation and towards #science. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

From @theregister.com: Despite my love of #sciencefiction AI tales, current generation, uber-corporate focussed #AI, is so damned bad; indeed, I despair of corporate AI strategy ( #microsoft / #google ) and I've been thinking of ways to avoid it altogether. www.theregister.com/2025/05/27/o...

Well F***! I invested £250 in #starcitizen (@robertsspaceind.bsky.social) in 2012. I'm 68 now & bored with multi-player so I sold my interest to a friend for £70 late last year. Might still get the chance to play the standalone, #squadron42 though... ...AND ABOUT BLOODY TIME TOO RSI!

An interesting article from Live Science ( @livescience.com ) and, while I'm of the view that no use of mineral/chemical resources will have no impact on our planet, it should at least reduce our footprint. www.livescience.com/planet-earth...
