Had a great day talking about the economic prospects for Independent Wales with these lovely folk for their prog. Yn Saesneg (dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg, ond yn araf...ofnadwy mun).

Genuinely grown up stuff. Give it a watch tonight / Gwilio heno on S4C and iPlayer.

A week ago I published my blog post on #MobileLinux and the benefits for children.

Clearly there's an appetite for this sort of long read...thankyou to all who have read and commented.

In case you haven't, you can pop over to https://clubb.cymru/2024/04/25/linux-mobile-safer-phone-for-childern/ and see what all the 'fuss' is about 😄

BTW the web stats are from #Umami hosted on #Pikapods, strong recommend from me, if you are using #GoogleAnalytics now's the time to bin it.

#UKPol

Petition to change distance units in road transport in the UK from miles to km.

It won't work, but sometimes these tiny displays of defiance perform a wider function and makes me feel more European.

How far did astronomers travel world-wide for conferences in 2019 in total? More than 300 times to the Moon & back! Or, to put it in astronomical units: more than 1.5 AU, so to the Sun and halfway back!

Two years ago, #EDPS embarked on a pioneering journey launching a pilot project of two decentralised social media platforms: #EUVoice & #EUVideo.

18 May will mark the end of the project. Time to review the results of this successful story.

Well...I've been threatening to write a blog post about why #LinuxPhones are better for kids than 'normal' ones, and I finally did it 😅

It was a coincidence, but I just had a long-scheduled chat with 2 people from the Centre for Alternative Technology about them adopting Mastodon.

They seemed pretty positive....watch this space!

davidoclubb, 20 days ago to mastodon

I'm delighted to be launching 'Mastodon for organisations' training on behalf of @afallen

https://afallen.cymru/2024/04/24/introducing-mastodon-for-organisations-training/

It's competitively priced. I'm hoping that a third party, paid offer, will work more rapidly than my many pro-bono efforts over the years 🤣

So if you know an organisation that you think needs a bit of a shove to start using #Mastodon, please point in my direction 🙏

I usually love the @HiraethPod episodes, but this one has a colossal #Fediverse sized hole in it. https://m.soundcloud.com/hiraethpod/social-media-tonic-or-toxic

Discussing the problems of toxicity/hate in social media without talking about the fediverse is like moaning about Welsh rain without mentioning umbrellas.

Disappointing, particularly after the interactions I've had with the Hiraeth team on this exact topic.

Perhaps they could invite @jaz to a future episode to talk about alternatives to the mainstream 🤔

Looking for suggestions for the next stage of my #30dayfosschallenge - how best to watch videos and listen to music 📺🎶

At the moment I rely a lot on YouTube - am aware of #Peertube so is that a good way to find & watch travel vloggers, if so which servers/users?

As for music, I mainly listen to my own MP3s on Apple Music. Which have you found to be good alternatives for iOS/Mac?

Questions for linux phone enthusiasts:

1. What's to stop Instagram etc creating apps for mobile linux? (In principle I mean, obviously there's no market yet)
2. Is it possible to set up phones with users, so (in principle) you could have a child as a user who can't install anything without the root password?

Thanks ahead of time (this is for my forthcoming blog post on the benefits of linux mobile for young people)

My #Fairphone3 arrives on Wednesday. Looking forward to running #UbuntuTouch on it as a test case for viability of ethical phone for kids that helps dodge the worst of mobile apps, behaviours, tracking etc
