@Wenstone @kityates yup. The UK should pick a fucking lane, and stay in it.

@kingrat when I was there, they were charging for features that come as standard on mastodon: like access to the fediverse. Is that still the case?

@kingrat @suldrew I think I last logged in there early 2023. No reason to return.

I've just worked out that whoever coded the calendar I've been using (for my secondary world) got their maths wrong. They start the calendar from year 0, but take start day from year 1. It means that everything is out by a day (possibly more once leap years are calculated).

#PennedPossibilities 581 — How should writers deal with rejection?

If it's just one or two people, then it's probably safe to ignore. If it's lots and keeps happening, then you likely need to work out why.

@evan well, I sent an invite to everyone on meta telling them where I would be if they wanted to connect.

@evan a few have bluesky accounts but they others are locked into meta and a few even are still on Twitter. Plus, I'm easy to find. Anybody that knows me IRL knows my handle. I've been using it professionally since the early 90s.

@evan almost nobody followed me over. All the friends I have, I made here.

@skinnylatte isn't that where the 'one about the whales' was filmed?

@evan me being mischievous, but I wonder the reaction if you were to suggest the same but for race 🤣.

@liztai everyone knows about US politics because they constantly broadcast it to the world. It's impossible to avoid. The yanks rarely hear anything else.

@evan what temp is California?

@mike805 @ekis people love art, they just believe it's too expensive. That's why streaming (music/video/games) is so popular.

@ekis it's the industry. They're just working within the limitations that were established a 100+ years ago.

So Aussie Facebook users. How are you going to spend your Meta payout? I think I'll buy Facebook with mine. I love the irony. With what's leftover, I'll buy the moon. I was going to buy twitter, but I don't want to deal with loose change.

@evan I never had a computer at university, and I certainly didn't have internet, wifi, or a mobile phone.

@evan @maj that would have aged well if it had been made.

@skinnylatte quality in SG has plummeted in the last 5 years. It's like they took one look at their stores in Oz and went, "we'll have some of that, thank you very much".
