I know it sounds redundant to make that glaringly obvious statement but it appears that those who are pushing the narrative that ‘Ron DeSantis is Trump but without the chaos’ ignore why Trump supporters support Trump in the first place. The video below does a great analysis of what is happening on the campaign trail:…

One more day to go – working at the moment (Saturday) then one more day (Sunday) before the weekend. Although it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea I love working Wednesday to Sunday and having Monday/Tuesday off for my weekend because having two week days off gives me the ability to chase up errands that need…

Well, in the last 24 hours there has been a whole lot of drama in the fediverse because a small group of admins from various Mastodon instances were invited to a meeting with Meta (home of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp etc) but each of the attendees had to sign an NDA. Well, the moment that a…

One of the things I like to do is to go through the App Store looking at the ad blockers that are available so that I can give them a test run then compare them to what I am using today – AdGuard Safari Extension. As good as AdGuard is at smacking down ads and…

Chrome 112 has been released and I noticed it is a bit more responsive. I sometimes wonder whether the improvement in performance is real and if it is real how much of it is due to fixes vs compiler improvements, the websites I use getting better optimised etc. It’s one of those things in the…

To follow on from my previous blog post, part of being in a political party is to develop policies then advocating those policies to the public – if you’re in opposition then you’re the government in waiting so your job is to convince the public that if you were in government that what you’re advocating…

Once again the media is in a frenzy with claims that Trump will be soon be indicted (link) but given how often Teflon Don has been able avoid being prosecuted in the past so I have rather hesitant to pop the champagne cork given past experiences. Assuming it all goes ahead and Trump is charged…
