    If a company can’t keep your data safe they shouldn’t hold it. This really should be an extinction event for Eurail B.V. or any other company too careless or incompetent to secure customer data. #interrail https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/23/some-interrail-travellers-told-to-cancel-passports-as-hacked-data-posted-online

    The tragic death of a local man really brought a point home to me this week. Ordinary people are trapped by corporate social media and will find it very difficult to leave regardless of how their data is mined. My local community lives in that corporate owned space. Cut yourself off from it and you cut yourself off from your community. #MastoDaoine

    Panda, the waste collection company, have just sent a text message and I’m amused. Why send me a message if you end it by asking me to ignore it? “Dear customer, we are aware of a fraudulent SMS from an unrecognised number impersonating Panda and requesting payment using a link. Please ignore this message” #MastoDaoine

    Patience, patience, patience. Booking long distance rail journeys is just like a puzzle. Fit all the pieces together and then try to actually book individual segments only for it all to fall apart. Guess I love it really. #interrail #traintravel #SlowTravel

    I’ve been kicked three times by my seat “mates” sitting across the table from me. I’ve said nothing. In Ireland, a certain class of individual* cannot be corrected by a middle aged man. *other peoples children #MastoDaoine
