Seeing the same GP six weeks later sounds like something out of a different era but this is a very interesting post...

Blimey, one of the Dover "protesters" is facing a five year prison sentence.
My mistake, that was the M25 just stop oil protester.
Good news for a change.
Can we ban online advertising to kids yet?
My pet theory is that Labour had one job that they absolutely had to succeed with after the May-Johnson-Truss-Sunak era.
They had to restore trust in politics.
They didn't even try, and I think it's probably too late now even if they wanted to.
Not looking forward to the next general election at all.

Found a bunch of leaflets from the 2018 London Blockchain Summit. Most of the companies no longer exist and one has unsurprisingly pivoted to AI!

@bodil@social.treehouse.systems replacing billionaires with llms is a development that I could be persuaded is a good thing

Oh no, my ads won't be personalised, how will I manage.

I have been left unattended at home with the mini eggs. What a mistake.
I haven't had the pleasure of using West Quay's new ‘Drive in. Drive out.’ system until today (buses ftw!) and... wtf?!
QR code (ffs) ➡️ bitly link ➡️ scammy af url ➡️ enter card details and watch endless spinner ➡️ enter card details for higher price and watch endless spinner again ➡️ phone the number next to QR code ➡️ find out exit barriers take contactless payments 🤦
Such progress.

@sarahdalgulls@ecoevo.social good grief. That adds context to my recent failed attempt to get Google Play to work on an Android tablet without being associated with a mobile phone. Not just a mobile phone number either, it demanded a device with a SIM. 🤦
Picked up train tickets for #OggCamp 🎉
Remembered that I was actually supposed to be moving my domain before I got totally sidetracked by h-cards and CSS. Doh.
Cannot believe it's the 8th anniversary of the absolute unit. Simpler times. #merl

I've been aligned.
Just started reading something written by chatty jeebs and I just need to take a moment to steel myself and scream into the void before reading the rest.
It's June but I'm half tempted to press the shed heater button! #ShedWorking
I quite like the term "faces in clouds engine"
Vibe reviewing PRs is certainly an approach.

@cjdell@fosstodon.org letting a room full of ogg campers start playing music was bold but great fun. I'm currently looking at an unused seeed studio xiao esp32c6 and wondering if it has a future with rust!
Replying to
@bigcalm@mendeddrum.org will it be put to use in a project and making an appearance in a future OggCamp talk? :)

@TimWardCam@c.im @KimSJ@mastodon.social on the one hand, surely even we could be trusted with this referendum... but there's a significant risk we'd end up with Trump owning our water companies, pay per flush, and a return to open sewers. Too soon.

@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk thank goodness. And it looks like they've overtaken Labour...
"This includes two northern legs scrapped by the Tories..."
I've just checked with mrsjtonline and apparently I don't get presents on #AddisonsDisease day, which is disappointing.

@abstractcode@eigenmagic.net @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io are you saying that writing fables for chatty jeebs might not actually result in anything that isn't almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea?
Replying to
@cloudthethings@hachyderm.io apparently mrsjtonline did not realise I'm getting the train to OggCamp on Friday so I've definitely used up my days out vouchers for the foreseeable future! Is it your first EMF? I look forward to hearing how it goes.
Replying to
@pikesley@mastodon.me.uk @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io it's fortunate that I wasn't drinking tea when I read that otherwise I would have redecorated the shed!
Regime change
Experimenting with getting docling to read election results.
Man who said he would 'be forced to don khaki, pick up a rifle and hit the frontline' in threatening unrest again shocker. #FarageRiots
Deep agents 👀
Do the Green Party still oppose HS2?
Working out what's happening in the office after a week off. Didn't get a phone call from work while I was off this time, which was an improvement.
