Question to any #postmarketos users; has anybody got a method of auto-upload images to the cloud? I would love to have that functionality for #NextcloudHosting but any solution for any provider considered 🙏

I have browsed forums but no joy so far - Nextcloud apparently can't do it from mobile […]

Saw the @NationCymru article about Dafydd Owain's new album (#ymarferbyw) and tried to buy it, but can only find a link to Spotify. Went to Bandcamp, and he has other albums on there but not his latest.

Frustrating, because I saw a post just the other day that it's much better to use #bandcamp […]

The Senedd reform package that has come in for next year‘s election is a bit of a mystery to a lot of people because it doesn’t seem to make sense. We really break it apart in this pod. worth listening to!

The Welsh Politics Pod @welshpolitics.bsky.social · 1d

Our next pod takes apart the Senedd reform package which sees expansion to 96 members and a new - and universally unpopular - voting system.

So why are the Welsh Conservatives talking about numbers? Lauren, Lee and @lauramcallister30.bsky.social have different takes! #Senedd26 #Cymru #Wales

I hope the newly-renamed 'Walk Wheel Cycle Trust' can come up with a better Welsh name than 'Walk Wheel Cycle Trust yng Nghymru'.

I guess that was absent from the discussions when the rebrand of #sustrans took place 🤷

#cymraeg

A screen grab that says:
"Walk Wheel Cycle Trust yng Nghymru. Tua 1,600 milltir; rhwydwaith beicio cenedlaethol sy'n derbyn gofal gennym ni"

The Welsh Politics Pod launches for your weekend listen (just!). Let me know what you think. We’ll be recording more soon! #Wales #Cymru #Senedd26

The Welsh Politics Pod @welshpolitics.bsky.social · 5d

Our first pod is hitting the feeds! Links below 👇

In this show we set the scene for what is going to be a turbulent few months in Wales as the Welsh Govt faces a serious budget headache and then Welsh Labour face a slump in the polls with Plaid Cymru and Reform battling it to 'win' #Senedd26 #Wales

The main reason Cardiff Dragons failed to attract crowds in the city was the sheer cost. I’d have happily taken my kids to watch them if the ticket prices weren’t so high. Moving games to Liverpool won’t solve that problem.

I’ve got the feels about this pod. Really great hosts, hugely timely given the context in Wales - you should be able to subscribe in your podcast app/YouTube now.

More to come, soon! 👇

Interesting stuff here from Mark Drakeford that goes further than devolving the Crown Estate management (as in Scotland) but to essentially disestablish the Crown’s claim and essentially nationalise its assets in #Wales:

Getting UK Govt buy-in would be tough, but winning a referendum…? #Senedd26

Wales deserves wealth fund from wind - Mark Drakeford

The former first minister has called for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund out of profits from the Crown Estate.

Happy to confirm that our new Welsh politics pod is on the way filled with informative, astute, and what I would euphemistically refer to as “robust“ debate between Lee Waters MS, Prof Laura McAllister and former Conservative Special adviser Lauren McEvatt.

We’ll be ready to share soon! #Senedd26

I know that there are a lot of Welsh politics folks out there missing the @hiraethpod.bsky.social while it is on hiatus.

While I would ofc point anyone needing a fix either to ‘For Wales, See Wales’ by the ever excellent Will Hayward and BBC Wales’s #WalesCast I’m happy to say that I have *news*

Whilst I don't think @nicw has suffered from a lack of government support, I do think it's time to think about how the organisation can evolve. I have been doing some thinking on just that - to be published in due course […]
