@Proton_Pass @UK_Daniel_Card … and my axe… oh, wait.

Really provoking read from @vicgoddard
Many implications around implementation to deeply think about

'“Don’t tell me it’s impossible for those innovators, those people who are brilliant at technology, to devise the ways to protect our children'

ah yes we can do MAGIC

... Jesus it doesn't work like that!

@adamboxer1 A decent visualiser is pretty much the same as the uplift from a normal laptop to a 2-in-1 laptop, and not that much short of the cost of an iPad. All of these costs work out to be a lot less than the impact of not having them – though that's not so obvious on a balance sheet...

You know you're a runner when your #1 criteria for buying a house was "Can I run from my front door?"

@UK_Daniel_Card How are you finding the usage limits with Claude?

[Austen Puleston @apuleston]

@UK_Daniel_Card Clawdbot has no master, Clawdbot is a free lobster... 🦞😂

[Austen Puleston @apuleston]

The lobster app shows just how much can be achieved when your foundational product philosophy is `--dangerously-skip-permissions`.🦞

@adamboxer1 @Mr_AlmondED Agreed, I just don’t think it’s quite as comparable as many think. The physical / digital distinction seems important in that it’s a lot easier to hide, and if you can access any part of the web, it’s not that hard to find a way through.

[Austen Puleston @apuleston]

@adamboxer1 @Mr_AlmondED Im persuadable on this, but atm I think the cultural approach would be better, and healthier long term. I also recognise this may be utopian thinking 🤔, but I’d also suggest that the current “ban it to fix everything” narrative is similarly simplistic.

[Austen Puleston @apuleston]

@adamboxer1 @Mr_AlmondED I disagree on using law to implement a ban, but agree entirely with the sentiment - social media has been corrosive at the macro level, and for many many individuals.

I suspect that banning with regulation would mean that many young people start hiding what they’re doing online

@UK_Daniel_Card @sysadafterdark The GE proton is ace. Linux gaming has moved on a long way from when I first tried it.

@UK_Daniel_Card @simplylurking2 Reminds me of the XKCD wrench 😂

Sunrise on 2026. Doggo enjoyed the wind!

[Austen Puleston @apuleston]

@Emma_Turner75 It arrived for Christmas. Starting it today!

[Austen Puleston @apuleston]

@UK_Daniel_Card I've been on Mac for a long time and much prefer it. Apple Silicon is still way ahead of anything else for my use.

[Austen Puleston @apuleston]

@adamboxer1 I think you were clear enough. I read most of the replies as deliberately indirect justifications of “no”. It’s obviously a hypothetical proposition for discussion, not a fully developed policy…

[Austen Puleston @apuleston]

@UK_Daniel_Card @Google Optimised for “launch more AI stuff”, not “help people build cool stuff”?

[Austen Puleston @apuleston]

Here we go again...

@UK_Daniel_Card Unfortunately the LLMs that power >80% of LinkedIn accounts seem to be unaffected...
