Admirer of dogs, programmer, OSS/privacy advocate, *nix nerd. More than a passing interest in medicine and astronomy.
Mostly the dog thing though.
I was already an accomplished em-dasher back when ChatGPT was still being correctly characterised as an LLM.
Apart from the whole Catholicism thing, I like Guy Fawkes Night for what it represents. I think it is important we remember it, especially at times like these.
Fuck fireworks, though, and fuck the people who think Guy gives them licence to set them off for the two weeks either side. #bonfirenight

FUN FACT: on Android, if you've enabled message content in notifications for your messaging app, then it doesn't matter how "secure" or "encrypted" it is. Google can see everything in a push notification, and they probably use it to target ads to you.

This is Goose. Goose likes rocks. Make sure you turn your volume up. #dogsofbluesky #dogs

So you're telling me Israel got an average of 8 points from every public voting block? That's a big bill from Twilio, Benjamin. #eurovision #boycotteurovision

This is my dog. His name is Goose, and he is brilliant. He's the main reason I get out of bed in the morning.

Huge shelf fungus I found while walking the dog. Can anyone identify it? I'm in the UK.
