Pottering about the house listening to vinyl on my Sonos system (much to the disgust of many an audiophile no doubt!) while the robot mopping vacuum diligently cleans the downstairs floors, is giving me moments of tech nerd bliss! šŸ¤–

also worth watching just for John Williams and the very different recollections of the Oasis brothersā€¦ who sounded like they were challenging studio guests to no oneā€™s surprise

Watched the #AbbeyRoadStudios #ifthesewallscouldsing doc on #disneyplus by #marymccartney and having received some questionable reviews I was pleasantly surprised. Would have liked to have heard more from the staff than the stars, but a pleasant Sunday eve watch with a good dose of #theBeatles archive footage and brief interviews with #ringostarr and #paulmccartney. Though the most interesting contributor is prob #EltonJohn.

Wishing everyone who celebrates a very Merry Christmas. The wonderful Sarah Millican started #JoinIn for everyone who is alone or finds today difficult. So if today is hard for you for whatever reason, use the hashtag and find people to chat to.

Staggering charts in the FT by John Burn-Murdoch show that after 12 years of Tory rule we are poorer, sicker and will die sooner than our peers. Utterly disgraceful.

Things I would love to see Mastodon implement (at least on the biggest ā€œmainā€ servers):

1: Integrate ā€œfind your friendsā€ from other networks (especially twitter) in onboarding
2: Make following people universal / simpler without having to copy/paste a userā€™s full handle (should be one click no matter where you are)
3: Give users an *option* to find / discover accounts related to their network (personalized)

My mastodon link at my pinned tweet on Twitter is now warning anyone who clicks on it that the sight may be ā€œunsafe.ā€
You know what actually feels unsafe right now? Musk on Twitter.
