I have just eaten a bowl of muesli; therefore, it's OK to eat Easter egg. The healthy counteracts the naughty, surely?


So I'm convinced the Government is telling the News media (Especially the BBC) stories to promote to get the country moving again. I bet the next big news story will be: "๐—š๐˜†๐—บ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ณ ๐—™๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐˜†!"


Huzzah! The ghost of SCO rises again in the form of Xinuos and threatens legal action against Red Hat/IBM for supposedly nicking UnixWare blueprints, lying, and conspiring. theregister.com/2021/03/31/ibmโ€ฆ

This is weird? A Global Cloud-Based company insisting staff must come into the office? Is it just me that's noticed the UK press has been promoting news stories of returning to workplaces rather than #wfh?

Google was always odd in that respect even before the pandemic; they always insisted in office work even when most other tech companies weren't bothered.

So is this a way of forcing crap or poor content on the viewer? I suspect "Clickbait" will increase on Youtube with the removal of the ability to see down or even upvotes in the constant scrabble for followers. engadget.com/youtube-dislike-eโ€ฆ



When did the "Circle of Trust" get broken? When did we stop being "The Good guys"? Remember when we all got into FOSS? And it was all about Trust? I see so many FOSS hacking stories these days. :'(

There's one positive thing to come out of COVID. All the delivery drivers are now equal if not better than London Black Cab drivers and their "Knowledge" because of the number of parcels arriving at #castlecannon daily. I suspect drivers only have to see the surname and respond: "I know where that is!"

Is that right? Mark Shuttleworth hasn't written ANYTHING on his blog since Thursday, June 28th, 2018?



Excitement is a dangerous thing. People might hold you to the promises you make.

Clearly, four parts was too much for people? I wonder if I should stop? Maybe I should do "Jogging with Vinyl"? Seems folk like jogging. :-D #Hive

Fook me! Iphone 12 has magnets in it so that things stick to it. I await memes of people with coke cans stuck to their hand while calling nobody really important.


Huzzah! SSL is now working on castlecannon.house I need to get this listed on my #Hive footer.

It's amazing that the USA flies their flag everywhere and homeowners festoon their porches and front lawns with the American flag, and yet when the UK tries to encourage people to do it suddenly, we're all Fascists! This is exactly the same mentality that allowed the English flag to be associated with EDL, thus making everyone far too scared to fly it unless it's World Cup day.

These are the same people that slag the police off calling them Fascists etc and then the minute they have a break-in or in danger, the first people they ring are the police.

Twitter Addon


So the #friendica Twitter addon is definitely connected to my Twitter account. I had the pin authorisation and the addon sees the information from my Twitter account, however, it's not crossposting to Twitter and also there is no Twitter select option in the send field of Friendica.


Here's a question: Anyone believe in rehabilitation?
