Hot take on my first few hours back on #Android
- It's REALLY polished now
- The keyboard is 1000% better than iOS
- Apps are better than they used to be
Happy so far. 👍🏻
After LOTS of research I ordered the #Fairphone5, then bottled it 10 mins later and cancelled the order. 😂
Hmmm I might have to re-think #Vivaldi on my iPhone as it's destroying my battery. Anyone else seen this?
So I bought a new watch for an absolute steal on eBay recently. This morning I received a message from the seller saying "very sorry, the watch is now damaged".
I call bullshit. I think they realised how cheap they let it go for so are backing out now.
I fucking hate eBay.
I just text my mum asking her what she and my step dad want for Christmas. Here's her reply. 😂
[Picking kids up from school...]
Me: So what did you do today boys?
Youngest: I wrote about black heroes.
Me: Oh, that's cool. Who did you write about?
Oldest: Was it Batman?
🤦♂️🤣
He wrote about Nelson Mandela, for those who are interested.
My wife is now searching "can chickens go out in deep snow". I assume she fears they're going to spontaneously freeze as soon as they step outside of their coop.
... they're little dinosaurs, I think they'll be fine!
Certain parts of the UK have had some snow. We've had about 4", apparently up by the kids school has had a foot.
This obviously means that the UK has gone full Mad Max and everything is closed.
I've been playing with #Vivaldi the last few days - now I'm getting to grips with it, I'm pretty impressed. I think this might stick for me and replace #Firefox.
I'm getting sick of hearing everyone's hot take on Bluesky, just like I got sick of hearing everyone's hot take on Mastodon a couple years ago.
😴
Watched the Tyson vs Paul fight this morning. Utter shite. Tyson shouldn't be fighting at his age, and it showed.
I suppose he was a paid a shit tonne of money though, so that's something. 🤷🏼♂️
Last day in Florida today. It's been a long week and I'm looking forward to getting home.
But don't worry, America, I'll be in New York in January. 😏
I upgraded to MacOS Sequoia last night. This morning I had a popup explaining some of the new feature.
STOP THE PRESS! MacOS finally has window snapping...it's finally caught up to Windows 7. 🤦♂️
Was searching for something and I clicked on a Sun link (🤢). Anyway, I got this popup. What the actual fuck, we now have to pay to be able to reject cookies??
Beautiful sky when I came home this evening.
I just realised that today is the 2 year anniversary of our move to our little Welsh smallholding. How time flies...
Our chickens have half a stable that I partitioned for them. I even insulated it!
Chickens come in at night and are like “nah, we’re good on this tiny ledge right by the open door. Cheers though. 👍”
FFS #Mozilla, what are you doing?
Say it with me folks…
WE 👏 DON’T 👏 WANT 👏 ANY 👏 ADS
To “fix the internet” we don’t need more ads, we need you guys to come up with more diverse revenue streams. Like, I dunno, making great products and charging for them? 🤯

I've just discovered baby hippos and they're my new favourite thing.
How to make yourself sound like an absolute wanker in a single sentence:
Lee is a managing director of a $102B private equity firm, he is probably richer than me. (Though I doubt he gives back as much.)
Well done, Matt. You continue to make yourself look like an utter tosser.
