If for some reason you are still using #GoogleChrome, now is a really good time to look at using *other* web browsers!

I’m a very happy #Firefox user, and if you have looked at FF for a while, I’d encourage you to give it another look. Newer versions are faster… and they actually respect your #privacy !

My membership of British Cycling has come around for renewal and I have no hesitation in telling them to get lost. The fact that they took on a major sponsorship deal with Shell (SHELL!) in October and have refused to reverse that decision is appalling. This is classic greenwashing - Shell are continuing to extract all the oil they can. Cycling should not offer shelter to the fossil fuel companies putting profit ahead of the planet.

Put differently: It is not possible for us to recognize and reward the people who have created the free, open tools we all use every day in any way that is even vaguely proportional to what they've given the world. That amount of money doesn't exist.
