Mackaj (mackaj@mastodon.me.uk)'s status on Saturday, 17-Aug-2024 22:00:22 JST Mackaj I'm of the opposite view, I'd like to see us be a positive influence on #Threads and an advert for the #Fediverse through engagement with the users there. I've started building a list of Threads accounts I want to follow—though most aren't visible on the Fediverse yet. When the list gets big enough (for me) I'll petition my admin to reconsider Federation and if that's not successful then I'll move to another instance that does.

Mackaj (mackaj@mastodon.me.uk)'s status on Tuesday, 21-May-2024 12:08:06 JST Mackaj Ditto in the UK. Don't have to worry about guns as almost no-one in the general population owns one.
Closest I've come to an earthquake was something that felt like a lorry driving past the house and we hardly ever get twisters.

Mackaj (mackaj@mastodon.me.uk)'s status on Saturday, 27-Apr-2024 12:26:33 JST Mackaj Agree with everything you said there Jeff 👍🏻
I'd not really given much thought to the difference between Free Software and Open Source before today and just treated them as if they were synonymous. I'll pay more attention in future.

So to achieve a volumetric density that's similar at the point of use H2 has to be pumped at about 3 x the rate of natural gas. Our existing pumping stations can't do that so their pumps would have to be replaced and upgraded to cope.

Mackaj (mackaj@mastodon.me.uk)'s status on Sunday, 17-Dec-2023 20:12:55 JST Mackaj How exactly? Federating with us won't give them access to your email address, real name or phone number. #Meta can't feed you adverts or force things into your timeline. If an account from there behaves in a way you don't like you can mute or block, just like here.
Did you know that #Threads are making #federation opt-in for their users, because some people are freaked about their posts escaping onto the #Fediverse.
Irrationality and panic is happening on both sides.

Mackaj (mackaj@mastodon.me.uk)'s status on Monday, 20-Nov-2023 13:24:22 JST Mackaj According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) $7,000,000,000,000 were spent on direct and indirect subsidies for fossil fuels in 2022.
Government support for fossil fuels is equivalent to just over 7% of our planet's entire economic output.
By comparison, global education spending accounts for 4.3% of all GDP.
Cutting it could prevent 1.6M premature deaths per year and increase government revenues by $4.4 trillion.

Mackaj (mackaj@mastodon.me.uk)'s status on Monday, 30-Oct-2023 22:23:48 JST Mackaj I'm no expert, but what feels wrong to me is the repeat use of "again" to end both sentences. It reads better without.
Also there's a switch of context between introspection about fresh starts and Mia's troubles, so maybe start a new paragraph to separate them?
"Sometimes you don't know how to begin again. How do you make a fresh start?
Mia was struggling and was nowhere close to accepting her misery."

Mackaj (mackaj@mastodon.me.uk)'s status on Monday, 14-Nov-2022 19:15:33 JST Mackaj I saw a post from someone yesterday where she'd added a filter for the string "RT @" to remove any twitter auto-reposts from her timelines. Thought I'd mention it in case it's useful to you.
