A very worthwhile discussion about social media algorithms, and how we have willingly given up making decisions for ourselves.

Is anyone else using the All Things Rugby app on Android? Although it feels like a work in progress, it's still significantly better than the Ultimate Rugby app. play.google.com/store/apps/d...

I guess we just have to accept that Bluetooth wireless earbuds are consumables. The batteries only seem to last about a year before failing. My third pair in the last 4 years are starting to fail. Luckily I realised a while ago not to invest in the really expensive ones.

The world is an absolute dumpster fire right now. I take comfort in knowing that somewhere in Paris there’s a woman feeling quite chuffed that she managed to get this chair home safe and sound. Long may she ride and reign.

Thanks to @thesimpsonsquotes.bsky.social I was excited to ride a monorail for what I thought was the first time - until my husband @bloomfield.co pointed out we've probably taken several monorails in international airports over the years 😆 #Dubai #Atlantishotel #Monorail

Ireland! We need just 1,483 ppl who are Irish nationals to sign this EU petition to initiate a ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy* across the EU. The UN considers such ‘therapy’ to be mental torture. #SpeirGorm Please sign & share with all EU citizens that you know: eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

The Irish bar in Abu Dhabi has a spice bag pizza on the menu, and I'm kind-of sold.

On the one hand, a France loss would put them out of contention for a grand slam. But on the other hand an England loss would put them battling it out with Wales for the wooden spoon.

Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes. There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU. Ireland can be 1 of the 7 nations needed eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Although I've volunteered for Parkrun over 25 times, I've never actually taken part as a runner or walker, that is until today. There was a special run in Marley Park Dublin today with the founder of Parkrun attending. I walked it in 50 minutes, and came 697th out of 712 people.

I migrated some of my websites between hosting accounts at the weekend, and everything seemed fine. But today I noticed some errors, and it was because I didn't migrate the .htaccess files, which are quite important for Wordpress.

Usually Thursday night is bin night, but with the imminent storm approaching Ireland the bin company has sent out a text message to say that collections are postponed from Friday to Saturday. At least I won't need to search the surrounding streets to find where my wheely bin flew off to...

Companies, sending out a tweet or Facebook post is not an adequate way to reach your customers. News needs to be in a place that doesn't require people to have an account to view it. Your own website would be a good place.
