Yes, fuel duty does bring in a lot of money, but it doesn’t go directly into fixing the roads—it generally goes into the government’s general budget.

Local councils who are responsible for fixing the roads have been underfunded for years and is normally the area that gets squeezed the most. The British weather doesn’t help too with constant rain and freezing winters…

Imo, the real takeaway here is that ad-tech isn’t just tracking people — it’s that it's becoming a decentralised surveillance network where no single entity takes any responsibility. Even with "Ask App Not to Track," your IP, geolocation, and device fingerprint still end up being leaked! It shows that tracking isn’t a feature anymore — it’s the business model.

Thanks! Totally agree about needing some privacy-first analytics on it.

Wanted to get a great writing experience finished first, but it’s the next thing on my list

Yeh definitely agree. Banner blog has support for basic link sharing on social media, but something to look more into definitely!

Yeh, I agree. Especially with the most recent updates.

The sentiment behind this is more about making the posts more readable to bots as opposed to trying to game the system

Yeh, that’s the next thing on the list.

Wanted to get something out the door for desktop, then it’s on to mobile.

Any things in particular that you’d want fixing?
