⚠️ Blog Disclaimer, or, Leon Covers His Back¶

(Last updated : 07 May 2025 - I reserve the right to tweak wording or add entire new paragraphs whenever reality changes or lawyers glare at me.)

1. My Brain, My Problem¶

Everything you read here is my own opinion - not that of Literal Labs, previous employers, future employers, mum, dog, or any extraterrestrial overlords. If I accidentally predict the corporate strategy of any of the above it's a coincidence, not an announcement.

2. Not Advice (Seriously)¶

Nothing on this site constitutes professional advice of any stripe - legal, medical, financial, nutritional, marital, or Kubernetes. I'm an engineer, not your solicitor; please deploy your own judgement (or a licensed professional) before acting on anything you find here.

3. Accuracy & Evolving Truths¶

I aim for factual accuracy at the time of posting. Technology, legislation and my brain all move fast - posts may age like milk. Links can rot, stats get revised, and I change my mind when better data appears. Caveat lector.

4. Copyright & Re‑use¶

All original text, code‑snippets and doodles © Leon Fedden. You may quote up to ⅓ of any post with a link back here. Want more? Ping me; I'm friendly. Machine‑scraping my content for a spam‑farm or training your very‑own LLM without permission is verboten.

5. External Links & Third‑Party Content¶

Outbound links are for convenience, not endorsement. I can't police the entire internet - if a link 404s or now hosts eldritch malware, that's on the link owner, not me.

6. Affiliations, Freebies & £££¶

I may occasionally mention tools or books I like. If I ever receive payment, free credits or flaming‑hot swag for doing so, I'll flag it clearly. No stealth ads, no hidden affiliate cookies.

7. AI‑Generated Bits¶

Some drafts, code scaffolds or illustrations may start life in an LLM. I'm not perfect. I review, edit and take responsibility for the final text - hallucinations that slip through are my fault alone.

8. Comment Policy¶

Comments are welcome; trolls aren't. I reserve the right to nuke abusive, spammy or GDPR‑violating contributions. By commenting you grant me a non‑exclusive right to display your words here indefinitely (internet is forever, folks).

This site uses basic analytics (no creepy fingerprinting) to count humans vs. bots. I don't sell personal data, sacrifice goats, or build shadow profiles. For GDPR/UK‑GDPR requests (access, deletion, the whole shebang) e‑mail me at leonfedden [at] gmail [dot] com.

10. Liability Limitation (The Big One)¶

To the fullest extent permitted by UK & EU law, I disclaim any liability for loss, damage, downtime, chocolate shortage, or existential dread arising from your use of this blog. Use the info here at your own risk; keep backups; don't hot‑swap production servers because a post looked persuasive at 2 a.m.

11. Updates & Versioning¶

I'll log substantial changes at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after an update = acceptance of the new terms. If that bothers you, your browser has a wonderful “close tab” button.

(PS – I try to wear matching socks, but no guarantees are given or implied.)
