@selzero I jumped off a pier once. The only place it led was East Sussex general hospital.

@selzero I carped this diem, and now I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. I didn't realize it was going to be this heavy.

Does anyone have a lighter diem that might exchange for this one?

@selzero this track absolutely rocks. In (I think) Persian.

Inside #Microsoft HQ right now. Can't help thinking they think #Copilot is like this... #NowEvenNew #Microslop

Ohmigerd. This is the #keyboard I want. I also want a reason to have dedicated keys for "cancel orders" and "muni"

@selzero okay, showing my age, and apologies if someone has already said them but thought some plant based options might be good:

* The aspidistra from Adventure Game
* A Triffid
* Audrey 2 from little shop of horrors

@poppyhaze picoquit each day by involuntarily closing and opening your eyes (boomers call it 'blinking'), thus depriving your bosses of your attention for milliseconds at a time!

@bruces I imagine it's like Orkney. You can't walk 100m without coming across another prehistoric circle...

"Get your solstice alignment here! Other circles are just poor imitations! You can't appease the gods from a wooden circle! Bring your own sacrifice!"

Ok #nerds who can tell me why my wheelie bin has this symbol pressed into the inside of its lid?

#mystery #audio reference. Is this for the Blue Man group or something?

@lkundrak oh God, this is me

@glynmoody I look forward to the racism, sexism and plain futility of this.

Inevitably placing young black people as older than they are, of girls in makeup as older than they are, and mistaking prints on T-shirts, dogs and domestic appliances as fully grown adults.

Perhaps this social problem needs to be solved by social means, not bullshit technology.

(Posting this here, because the comments section on this site has some ~AI~ broken validation that doesn't explain why I can't post)

@dansup I applaud your positivity, but as someone that has run all kinds of Services over the years, I can say with certainty that there is no service that hackers of any ability won't try to exploit.
Anything that has value to people is a target.

@warandpeas it's why they're called hot cross buns, and they often come in a 6-pack...

@dansup generally speaking, I feel like platform operators should get paid, content creators should get paid, software developers should get paid. Everyone should get paid if they're putting in work.
"Ownership" alone should not entitle you to get paid.

@dansup @pixelfed @loops @supapp I've been following you for a while (which makes you established in my view) and I've seen the things you do and trust that you're doing good work. So yeah, trusted and established by at least one fedizen.

@dansup this could be your chance to be a future "killed by Google" app!

@dansup It's just the journalist's way of throwing shade on Meta.
"Insta-what? Never heard of it. Sounds a bit like a shit version of Flickr"

@dansup I have a brother-in-law like this.
Mother-in-laws 70th birthday BBQ, made a big fuss about coming. Didn't bring anything. Had his earphones in all day, listening to F1 coverage. Left early when his young daughter asked if they could watch granny open her presents.
Cut to 20 years earlier, my wedding to his sister. Brought a gf we didn't know. Left early next morning, leaving his gf behind to join family breakfast. She was mortified.
No solutions here, but my total sympathy.

@adamconover Beginning to wonder if he's hoping Apple might buy twitter off him. Certainly seems determined to shed Android and chrome users 🤔
