The announcement that Sonos had joined the Connectivity Standards Alliance https://twitter.com/csaiot/status/1517156201070354436
"Hey Sonos" If the rumour is true that #Sonos are developing a #VoiceAssistant, it might actually be significant/useful providing it supports #Matter (Sonos quietly joined @csaiot@twitter.com a few weeks back...) https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/04/sonos-voice-assistant/

Saw an article in the latest #GardenRail and though "oh, someone's modelled a #Banksy, what a fun and original idea". Turns out that person was, er... Banksy. (I missed the news stories!) Seems he quite possibly saved the model village, too https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-58143164
@ClarePindex I wish I had your tomato skills! My tomatoes also ripened late last year - too late - and so they are now fruiting in the last chance saloon. Trouble is, no greenhouse, and if I put the polytunnel up too early the wind here will rip it to shreds!

Just found out that the EU has an official Mastodon server it operates: https://social.network.europa.eu/about
Absolutely no joy posting a photo. “Publish” greyed out in the iOS app and perpetual “uploading” via the web. Hope it’s not another 5 years before I manage this.
I’ve been on here 5 years and not posted a picture in all of my, er, 10 posts. Time to give it a try…
listen, i'm glad everyone is here/back but platform metacommentary alone won't be enough to make this stick. you need to start posting inane nonsense
