History Hunt (https://hes.scot/history-hunt) is collectible cards given out by Historic Environment Scotland to its members at some of their sites.

Find it really difficult to keep track of which cards I have and which sites I should visit (and when!) to collect them all, so I write a mini app. ๐Ÿ˜„

๐Ÿท๏ธ AI content is getting labels.

Just like energy ratings or safety certifications help you make informed choices, the same logic now applies to AI.

From 2 August 2026, the AI Act will require clear labelling in key cases:
๐Ÿ”น Deepfakes
๐Ÿ”น AI-generated or manipulated content
๐Ÿ”น Interactions with chatbots and AI systems

You have the right to know whether what you see, hear or read has been made or altered by AI ๐Ÿค–

Android is going to be adding developer ID verification for any developer that wants their app to be sideloaded onto more than 20 devices.

You might be wondering: how are they going to track that? Well it turns out they already have been. Google Play Protect is sending the hashes of the apps you install back to Google's servers.

Your unique device identifier, your account info, and the apps you run are stored on Google's servers, even for a local install of a sideloaded app.

Somethingโ€”most likely this wee climberโ€”decided to wreak havoc in the neighbouring bin shed early this morning. Natural alarm before 6am. ๐Ÿ’ช

Have a lovely summer solstice everyone! Looking forward to sunset after 10pm tonight myself ๐Ÿ˜€

I will scroll through 100+ items in an Internet search looking for written instructions before I'll ever even consider watching a 1-minute instructional video.
Yesterday was our last concert for this season. Thanks so much to all our supporters! See you back after the summer break!

Motorist drives against a one-way street. You make them aware and get the smartest answer ever:

"There is no way out the other way!"
Ah yes, Glasgow Council has built some streets to trap cars in forever *muhahahahahaha*

"Not the first time I am doing this."
Glad you just admitted to not knowing the highway code and simple road signs. ๐Ÿ‘

We'll be singing this lovely piece, Simple Gifts by Aaron Copland, along with many other incredible works from Britten to Mozart, and a second half crammed with Scottish songs!
Come along to St John's Renfield Church at 7 pm on Saturday 20th June - tickets available on the door or online here https://www.trybooking.com/uk/events/landing/106409

I hate how Google is pretending installs from their Play Store are safer, shaming me for installing my own apps โ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‘
