Navigating the UK Online Safety Act
What Fediverse Service Providers Need to Know
The Online Safety Act (OSA) is now in force in the United Kingdom. Enforced by Ofcom, the UK’s communications regulator, the Act introduces a new set of legal duties for online services. Its stated purpose is to reduce online harm, particularly exposure to illegal content and material harmful to children, while safeguarding users’ rights to express themselves freely and access legal content.

Fediverse Report #127
Something different this week, where I take an overview of all the clients in the fediverse ecosystem and which ones stand out to me. There are a huge amount of great clients and apps for the fediverse available, so I'm giving an overview of the clients I pay the most attention to.
Feel I missed some? I'd love to hear!

Dahlia ‘Colour Spectacle’
Happy Monday, y'all.
I see the new King of Scotland has been holding court today.
That's nice!
Anyway, here's something orange that is always a pleasure to watch.
This is Lilium lancifolium Farrer's Form.
It is a slightly more intense orange than the usual version and with marginally thicker and more well-behaved curling petals.
Monotype on Kozo paper. I’m enjoying this process — nothing planned and but a rectangle of black ink to work from, it’s all in the moment.
Seemingly destroyed by the winter storms, this rose has come back stronger than ever. A second flourishing so far this summer.
NEW LOCATION KLAXON
Welcome to Crummackdale, north of Austwick, this valley is oft-overlooked but features some of the most extensive limestone pavement and scars in all of the Yorkshire Dales.
Extra bonus: Pen-y-Ghent looking like pure drama.
There's plenty more images from this day, send your eyespheres here https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/7/27/crummackdale-yorkshire-dales-summer

Well, my moist and juicy plums, it would seem to be Glastonbury Pride today. Everyone looks fabulous and the drumming was amazing.
Years ago, on another social media site, I used to run what I called a #PhoneboxConference. I pitch up at a classic red phone box and invite folk to call.
It's getting harder to find locations, let alone iconic ones.
So imagine my delight in finding one (the only?) working red #phonebox on Orkney.
And where? In Twatt, of course.
It's 4pm BST and I'm standing by.
