On the other hand, there’s nothing you can do anyway, so the only option is to let them burn.

Is it yelp.com?

Cool, you crack on using Twitter then.

I have no strawman. I had a wickerman, but, well, it’s awkward.

Oh.

oh

It’s not that weird, given that they’re both examples of Fediverse software that can (in theory, though not well in practice) interact with each other.

As for Masto being separate instances; I’ve never really had a problem with that. Follow a bunch of people from different servers and you’ll soon begin to federate and link up with other people.

I see folks posting on Mastodon, griping that it’s failing, that it’ll never be as popular as Bluesky and Threads because of X and Y, and I’m like, I’m over there chatting to people all day, having a fine time, following new people, picking up new followers, and generally enjoying it more than I ever really enjoyed Twitter.

I don’t really understand why those folks want it to be more than it is.

“Oh, but there are no journalists!”

Good? I don’t want endless ragebait posted in my feeds. I just wanna be chill, share music recommendations, and enjoy more people interacting with my radio show than ever did on Twitter.

That man has never followed through on a promise in his life.

Only because most of them aren’t allowed guns. A good number are still rapey and racist.

I think you mean Jeb!

Fuckin’ nuclear power, man, how does that work?

Oh man, I’d love to hear Bill’s views on Fucker.

I wish the EU would pass a law making it so that all devices must be unlocked once they stop receiving software updates. How many perfectly usable devices are forced to fall by the wayside because the last supported OS can’t do anything useful. I would love to see a version of Linux running on old iPad hardware.

I couldn’t believe how long I could get out of my 15" M2 Air’s battery when playing No Man’s Sky. A good five hours of gameplay without needing to worry about plugging in. Meanwhile, my previous Intel MacBook struggled to get five hours on standby.

True. In the grand tradition of the internet I only responded to the headline.

More users that aren’t Americans talking about their politics would be nice.

I have rainbow laces in my work boots and a rainbow lanyard for my office pass. Pretty sure the guys at work think I’m bi at the very least because they know I’m married to a woman.

Funny thing is, I kinda am. Fucked if I’m actually telling any of those cunts though.

You know this thing is tiny, right? It’ll be shockingly easy to pick up and press the button. Even with cables hanging out of it.

I use a 2014 mini with all cables hanging out the back, and it’s really easy to pick up.

It’s literally just the same body as the OG Magic Mouse, which had a bay for a pair of AAs underneath. All they did was remove the bay, put a rechargeable battery in there, and a socket to charge it. It takes a couple of minutes to give it 9 hours of juice.

There’s no grand conspiracy.

My MacBook has just two USB-C sockets. When I bought it I picked up a couple of A adapters on Amazon for a few quid each. It’s never been an issue. Even less so with a desktop, as you’re able to leave the adapters in all the time.
