@hellomiakoda Yeh, our firewalls have an "O/S", does that count?

I still want to know how old "root" is, or "lp"... They are "users" too.

@cwebber We need proper spell books with this knowledge concealed within...

To be fair, microwaves have pros and cons, and this is a massive pro...

I am now discovering "air friers" which are similarly pros and cons.

@cwebber D'Uh, is this one of those secrets people know and do not tell the next generation?

Not just me?

I am a few weeks in to "Mastodon being my only social media".

It is, err, interesting.

I have zero local engagement in #Abergavenny on this - which I sort of miss.

I have zero family engagement on this - but we have group iMessage, so really makes no odds to that.

I have news, and some of the insanity of the world in my face, but less fake news I feel.

I have less stress, mostly, I think.

I can "run out" of "scroll" while I have coffee in the morning, which is new! Crazy times.

@openrightsgroup We have already seen the various age verification companies being seriously compromised. As predicted. And bogus age checks on sites to collect data, as predicted.

@dalias but doing so surely losses all copyright so licence does not matter?

Somehow I missed this (or forgot it), cool xkcd.

@xinit I love how the domain exists.

Can anyone else parse this?

By popular demand, poster no 3

To be honest, I expected it to be just his usual walking the dog, and angrily taking the poster - but planning a midnight ninja excursion was not what I expected at all.

Is it windy in Wales?

When I had a stroke I was actually quite shocked at the lack of information from NHS when discharged.

When I had a fall I had like four separate "you broke, or nearly broke, this that and the other" type advice sheets. Very good stuff.

For a stroke I only had one thing on speech issues (with a number to call if I had problems, yes, really!). Nothing on what is a stroke, or why, or what to do next.

But it seems that if ever I have a hip replacement the NHS has detailed advice for me... Phew.

@chris More details?

@dalias @codinghorror Indeed, but I would say it was 100% entirely predictable that this would be the outcome, and so on that basis the regulations were really badly thought out.

Personally, I think some rules on this are a tad far, it makes sense for a site to have logs and track sessions - if only to improve the site or understand traffic. The bad bit is the third parties and cross site targeted ads and profiles and shite we see in the advertising industry.

Drives me mad trying to explain...

Why don't people want to tip?
Because they want to pay the price stated and agreed, like all other goods and services.

But it goes to the staff... They need it...
So pay the staff more.

We can't afford to pay staff more...
So charge more, so you can.

But we can't put up prices...
But expecting a tip *IS* putting up prices, except it comes with deception about the price.

Please don't let mandatory/expected tips get in to the UK as well.

OK, at a loss. Suggestions welcome.

I put a few few bits in a bag, tools, wire cutters, that sort of stuff.

Used them today.

Came home, and put back stuff.

And in the bag is this.

I have zero idea where this comes from - nothing I was working on - nothing venue related (pub), nothing I have from home.

I seriously have no clue what this spring is for or where it came from,

WTAF?

@neil Indeed, I wonder what offence? I mean my block mentions VPNs in passing but explains other ways to get around age checks that are not VPNs - so is that illegal as well or is it only if saying VPNs?

Don't post these often but this one seems on message...
