Douglas Adams wrote, "Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things."

Just got nicely told to move on from doing the Diabolo on top of a multi-story carpark, just after meeting a guy asking about the diabolo and am I filming for insta, tiktok, etc (insert closed social).
I was telling him about the open social, especially #Fediverse and mentioned @PixelFed and @peertube
Just sent him the amazing video from @_elena

Hopefully he'll watch it and get what I was talking about...
Videos will be on Makertube when I get around to editing out all the mistakes - https://makertube.net/a/cubicgarden/videos

@andypiper Side note, have you watched any of the PublicSpaces Conference videos?
We had so many amazing applicants to the #OpenSocialAwards that the jury asked that we acknowledge some of the amazing honorable mentions.
First up: Streamplace brings a familiar Twitch/YouTube-style video experience to the open social web.
Its Pebble time… 2!
Finally the Pebble time 2 came... As most of you know I was a big Pebble fan, for many reasons but battery life is a massive plus. The Ticwatch 5 pro was doing my head in, because although it will last a day no problem. Once you add sleep tracking its a very different story. It's taken a little while (just under a year I think) to get back into the pebble way of doing things but after 2-3 days I have forgotten most of the affordances of Android Wear…
Whatsapp must never be public infrastructure
PublicSpaces #pubconf26 made this super clear for me, with the people who are actually doing something about it.

This interview with #palantir and @channel4 speaks volume about how little they care.

Based on the head of the UK side of #palantir they are a weapon of mass destruction for hire to the highest payer if they are a democracy 🙃🤔
Moral judgement = zero

Imagine you are booked into a 4 star hotel in western Europe On the first morning you find the shower and tap water to be stone cold...
On the way to breakfast you notice a printed sign in the lift, saying there is a fault with the plumbing and there is no hot water till the next day. This is confirmed by reception.
The next day comes and the water is stone cold but the signs are gone. You ask at reception and you told the fault isn't fixed.
On the 2nd night you check with reception on the way to the room. They confirm there is still no hot water and there won't be any tomorrow morning.
How much of a discount would you expect from 3 nights of no hot water in a 4 star hotel?
