Hot take on my first few hours back on #Android

  • It's REALLY polished now
  • The keyboard is 1000% better than iOS

Happy so far. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

After LOTS of research I ordered the #Fairphone5, then bottled it 10 mins later and cancelled the order. ๐Ÿ˜‚

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.

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. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

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. ๐Ÿ˜

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. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Was searching for something and I clicked on a Sun link (๐Ÿคข). 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 โ€œnah, weโ€™re good on this tiny ledge right by the open door. Cheers though. ๐Ÿ‘โ€

To โ€œfix the internetโ€ we donโ€™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? ๐Ÿคฏ

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.)
