"But here's the thing: being able to say, 'wherever you get your podcasts' is a radical statement. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that's supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that's not owned by any one company, that can't be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience."

Request: Does anyone have an old Clare GAA top (size L)they're no longer wanting and would be willing to post to Scotland?
I'm after one and went looking at O'Neills and it's £54! 😲 ebay's not looking great either 😬
I have a Wexford top which is apparently "traitorous" as my partner is from An Clár.
We once tried to recitify it but the parcel was delivered to the wrong adress and it was never seen again.
#Mastodaoine #AnClár #CountyClare #GAA
they pop up in charity shops from time to time and I'll keep an eye out. My partner's family is also from Clare so I will ask around too.
Does it matter what era, or does it have to be from the Davy Fitz golden years? Or does any of that matter?
think it's just monopoly and good old fashioned GAA greed to be honest. But no hassle — I'll keep an eye out. Will let you know soon, or pop a message here if you find one.
And there's only one banner!

NEW: WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It's revealed some more details on how that will work.
— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.
— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp's standards
— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won't become interoperable

Nice, took them long enough. Here's hoping they take a decent chunk out of twitter.
Still going to stick with Mastodon for now, though that's only to avoid fragmenting my already broken attention span any further.
