Trying out @vikunja.io for task management.
Bonus that it's made and hosted in the EU (no reliance an US tech firms), and also offers self hosting if I want to reduce my reliance on cloud further.
(Although still struggling to figure out what vikunja means - somekind of llama like beast?!)

I bought this burgundy Nintendo DSi XL about 15 years ago.
Still one of my favourite devices. The colour, the feel of the controls, the screens, the shape - everything about it makes it a joy to play!

I like this picture of the handheld console collection. I need to update it as the collection has grown since this was taken.

@evercade.co.uk I’m absolutely loving the Super Pocket Rare Edition!
I showed a colleague and he was sold at “60fps Banjo” - he’s getting one tomorrow!
Questions: who actually developed the port and Conkers Bad Fur Day when?!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I hope in another half century my kids don't look back on today's conversations with the same sense of sadness.
Hard to believe that these words were written the year before I was born. Yet here we are, nearly half a century later, raising our kids in a world where these words are more true and relevant than ever before. How disappointing to imagine the world that could have been.

Welcome to Rip-Off Britain.
One in five children is growing up in poverty, public services are crumbling - and the 10 richest families and individuals have grown £11bn richer in just one year.
Enough is enough.

UK gilt yields have hit an 18-year high because bond markets fear Labour might elect a slightly more left-wing leader. When financial markets seek to constrain democratic choice, that is not economic discipline. It is political power, exercised without a ballot. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/13/g...
'Bond markets on edge' as King Charles sets out fragile UK government's agenda
U.K. gilts and bonds faced heavy selling pressure in response to the latest 'Starmer drama', as the prime minister faced down rivals ahead of the King's Speech.

Can I just ask, #r4today, as you seem to be very keen to talk about and investigate Polanski’s council tax issue, why not the same feverish scrutiny over the far more troubling and glaringly corrupt £5M bribe Farage took from that crypto billionaire, Harborne?

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data.
This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide.
We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

TikTok can still build a profile of users and use this profile to exploit them and the wider userbase, even if they don't show them ads.
The question that should be asked about this news is, is it surveillance free or just ad free? Because the distinction is huge.

The solution to gerrymandering is proportional representation. Pass it on!
The solution to gerrymandering has been known for nearly two hundred years at this point. When we take back power we should do a new VRA that requires proportional representation (after we deal with the Court, of course, to ensure the law sticks) youtu.be/T7_LmqR0a04?...
Just do proportional representation!

This is what tariffs were always all about for Trump. Not about revenue, trade, domestic manufacturing, GDP - it’s about giving himself the unilateral power to decide economic winners and losers on a case by case basis, with kings and CEOs coming to him asking forbearance..
