sadly not enough time to get through that many books, but love them when I have the time

apparently my isp is not detected as being in the UK as the audio plays for me, and Mollys blog also loads fine.
I wonder if incomplete UK blocking is a daily for the online safety act? (cc @npub1huw…c5x7). You've both certainly tried, and I think it works on mobile data.
Sorry, totally unrelated to the content.

I can see the real blog on my home WiFi, but via mobile data I get the blocked page. Android phone

sad times, but I can't see an alternative at the moment.
Out of interest how did you do it? I'm in the UK and can still view it, and am curious why

I guess you can make the same argument about most things. Orwell's 1984 wasn't meant to be a manual, but you could interpret it as such

while that's not the moral we're aiming for, it's important to understand the involvement of big tech in that part of history. Governments were just as culpable though, most everyone knew what they were all up to but they wrote it off with dismissive gestures. That's the big moral here, that we can't dismiss these minor behaviours as they will get bigger if we don't challenge the small ones.

video seems unrelated to audio podcasts and that article doesn't offer a solution other than don't do video rss feeds.
I don't know if there's a standard and supported way to do an rss with two (or more) encodings or bitrates. Two rss feeds does work but will split your chart listings (which you may not care about)

you can definitely offer multiple rss feeds for different qualities (I remember this from very early podcasts). Not sure if there are other options these days

mine all require fingerprint access to open. Not sure I really want the hassle of a private space for them, but interesting to ponder

not sure even a more complex purchase "requires" any approval either? (at least legally)

oh one clever thing about to moto tag is it's identical in size to apples itag so all the attachment accessories should fit.
I 3d printed a keyring adapter for an itag and it works well, the moto doesn't have a hole to attach it to anything otherwise

I have one moto tag I'm testing. Can't say much tbh as it's mostly with me anyway... The battery life is either awful or the low battery sensor is awful.
They do at least work with the android lost device network

Belfast was looking stunning from cavehill this morning

wow, assumed my braking assistance would help on a motorway, but sounds like that doesn't particularly exist yet.
Hoping this happens, motorway pile ups are stupid

I've not looked at how difficult it is, but I'd probably have a go myself first. I've found a lot of things are only actually hard cracking the case open (other than replacing a phone screen glass layer, that is truly hard).
Once you've got into the internals, being methodical and taking photos allows you to reassemble fine, even if the repair does end up exceeding your limits (and then you know the professional service is worthwhile)

wow, I surprisingly aslo exported about £14(100KWh), however import was £120 (760KWh) (Even with 280KWh generated)
Two electric cars is maybe a third of that, the rest is just a 5 person house 🤷🏾‍♀️

hydrogen card are an interesting one. I remember seeing the first hydrogen BMW in about 2001. My bus to work is sometime hydrogen, though more often just electric.
I've still not seen a hydrogen refuel station, and all our hydrogen is made from crude oil - clearly it's a very niche market with limited impact or potential

China? Last I heard, spaceX have no deorbiting on their thousands of satellites being launched each year, and they have a very short lifespan...

I wonder if this undermines police reports in the long term, as surely a lawyer can say that AI is used regularly, so the report cannot be considered high quality evidence?

still sounds too short. We really need laws to protect consumers from these things going end of life, and becoming a security liability
