Don't go home when you finish work. Go to your local polling station and vote! I don't care who you vote for. I couldn't give a toss if you're one of those. "Get the Tories out!" "Keep Labour out!" "Don't let the Liberals in!" "Greens, who are they?" JUST VOTE!
𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗼𝗱𝘀! The guy upstairs is almost continually coughing his guts out and the guy in the workshop is coughing his guts out! Are these swine trying to make us ill?
I see lots of new users asking about or for features on, for example, Mastodon. I would like to see the Bio when I hover over community profiles in #Friendica #Developers. At the moment, all that displays is the username which isn't much use if I don't know the person.
𝗔𝗺 𝗜 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲? There are people on Twitter bitching about Elon Musk buying the platform and then sending him tweets basically baiting him. Is that so they can come to the Fediverse and cry "See He banned me!"? I don't get it? Poke a dog with a stick and it'll bite you. 🤦♂️
Oh god, welcome to my world. I've spent over 20 years trying to explain to people that ultimately, "They don't own it", especially when it came to the likes of Ubuntu, etc. Even, for argument's sake, some of the Mastodon instances. They're still someone's server (Unless, like me, you host your own), so they could kick you off at any time.
I always had pretty clear that. Identi.ca, quitter.se and now on sdf.org I'm on someone's computer and have to behave according to their rules and I depend on them.
Ah, but you are intelligent and don't really strike me as a 'herd mentality' type person whereby you're willing to stifle your own thoughts to fit in with the group hugs. I see it so often; people use something for a year or two and then convince themselves and others that purely by usage and contribution, they suddenly firmly believe it's theirs. 🤦♂️
Also some(most) people don't know how the internet works , its magic. I've seen it with my bosses, telling them something could and was going to happen, them ' no it can't' and then happening. Obviously they were right and something strange happened , twice , thrice and then we changed as I said and stopped happening. Internet like god works in mysterious ways.
You know, I literally kinda said that a couple of hours ago. I gave someone a URL to copy-n-paste and send to someone else, and they responded with, "I dunno how to do that?" I was like, "So you're on the web every day posting pictures and crap, and yet you don't know how to copy and paste a URL? Are you winding me up?"
I do have another account @dick_turpin. I'm a bit tamer on Mastodon. This account spews out to Twitter and allows me to be a bit more, umm? Naughty? I own this instance, so the only one that can shut me up is me on here.
Good idea. You might also want to follow @Ken Fallon (PA7KEN, G5KEN) poke him with a stick although he will try to beg you for content for HPR Hacker Public Radio. Ken's a great guy, I've met him a fair few times.
I don't think I'll make any more purchases via Klarna sick to death of the emails and text messages warning me that £15.00 is coming out of my account.
So while I agree it's good to see all these Twitter users coming over to Mastodon and the Fediverse, I am slightly saddened that they are doing it because they feel they have no choice rather than making a conscious decision to embrace freedom. Still "Every cloud...." and all that. #hugs
Waiting to see how long it takes for mastodon.social to fall over with all this sudden influx. If only Ex-Twitter folk knew how Federation worked? If you're in the UK join mastodon.org.uk you can still Federate to .social users and it would ease their load.
This morning while walking Charlie, a small van pulled onto the entrance and sat there on the other side of the busy Ind Est road that we needed to cross; "You watch, the minute we start crossing Charlie that arsehole is going to reverse." three feet from the rear of his vehicle, on came the reversing lights.
Further down the road is a unit with a large car park round the back with a large empty area in front of the building but hey, where did twat #2 want to drive his car? Yep. Right where Charlie and I were!
𝗘𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗸 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝘀 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 - 𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗖𝗞! 𝗥𝗨𝗡 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗬! Seeing LOTS of people reactivate their Fediverse (Mastodon, Frendica, PLeroma) accounts last night and this morning, maybe even one or two will migrate to #Hive? Not sure why everyone is jumping ship. TBH, Twitter already has your personal profile and preferences, and so what if he invites Trump et al. back? There are already more dangerous freaks on Twitter anyway! https://ecency.com/signup?referral=dickturpin
It's so difficult to make positive posts when I'm surrounded by people who by their behaviour and attitude just make me want to scream out with negative responses.
I dreamt last night that I was living in Berlin, but it was a mishmash of modern-day and 1920s Berlin? That's not the weird part. I was speaking fluent French, and so were all the Berliners.
Thanks to the FSM no. Day off after a week of work. Really bad weather and I hope I can get a quiet day. But I'm afraid the lady of the house has other plans. Let's see if I can dodge them.
I had booked a farmhouse for the bank holiday weekend. Fair enough, we cancelled because my daughter was having a baby, but Ethan came a week early. Did the wife show any consideration that we could have gone away or all the money I lost? No, I ended up painting fence panels for two days.
No way you can fight and win against a new grandson. A niece had a son last year and earth was removed so we could meet it even with all the restrictions. My SIL , the grandmother of the new baby even got to rent a house in a village so they could k̶i̶d̶n̶a̶p̶ meet with them and have them in almost exclusivity all the time.
Yep. It's incredible the rubbish the different midwives have told her. They came to our house Sunday, and I put Ethan almost at the top of the Moses basket. Monique went mad. "Don't do that! He has to go at the bottom, or there's a risk of cot death!" WTF? What a load of old rubbish, I said. Is he at risk if he lies in the middle too? Jeeze, they tell new mums some twaddle.
