Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

I’ve got about 5 adults left and have had a lot of live births in the past week or so. I think overfed early on but all seems happy now. 🤞
Tempted to expand after we move house in a couple of weeks and maybe start growing my own live food rather than powder. 😁
New by me - Microsoft Vibing. A very strange fake open source project published by Microsoft employees, which gathers screenshots and voice recordings of users with unique machine identifiers attached. Not sure how this one has happened.
Very tempted to get myself a bigger tank…
Random question. Do you find your monkeys are attracted to the bubbles from the air stones? Some of mine seem obsessed with going for rides…
The cat's out of the bag! My latest book, "The Secret Life of Circuits", is available in early access:

It's the reference I wish I had when I was starting out. Electrons to embedded systems, 290+ color illustrations and 420+ pages of well-explained theory.
Lots of them hatched overnight. We’re all having a great time watching the progress!
Any interest in a separate account for daily aqua dragon updates?
Thanks @Tattooed_Mummy@beige.party for sending me down this rabbit hole. 😆
Fergal Sharkey was on #channel4 news inviting us to sign a petition about getting a referendum to bring the water industry back into public ownership
It is here. Do sign and share xxx
What’s your setup? I can see some kind of air pump?
🚨 Trivy is under attack again.
Attackers force-pushed 75 of 76 tags in aquasecurity/trivy-action, impacting 10K+ workflows and turning trusted GitHub Actions into malware.
Any version ≠ v0.35.0 may execute an infostealer in CI.
Analysis forthcoming: https://socket.dev/blog/trivy-under-attack-again-github-actions-compromise
Been working on a small decentralised music search tool https://squirrel.band/, initially indexing sites using faircamp (by @freebliss).
Currently grabs the sites listed on https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/ and in the webring (https://faircamp.webr.ing/) using each pages available RSS feeds, keen to add more sources if anyone has any suggestions.

The UK Government has launched a public consultation which is seeking views on whether to ban children from using social media. This consultation will run until 26 May 2026.
It is highly likely that later this year, the establishment will attempt to introduce legislation which forces social media platforms (potentially including Mastodon) and VPNs to verify the age of their users. Therefore, this consultation is likely to be the only opportunity we will have to push back against these authoritarian measures.
Please take the time to read the consultation and answer the questions (especially if you are the parent or carer of a young person):

Highlight of the #GortonAndDenton #byelection: The #DailyTelegraph sent their man out to talk to Green Party #GPEW canvassers.
It did not go well for him. 😅🤣
