@WanderingInDigitalWorlds with this narrative, you could write a (technically fairly true) story titled, ‘the case of the missing iphone’.

why does the #fpl app keep signing me out on android?!

also, can i use this as an excuse for the poor performances of my squad?

#rant

why is #christmascardsfromfictionalcharacters even trending?

i ask as it would be impossible to top this one: https://youtu.be/NozVpZj4i2Q?si=jvyKqB6AcSVIf_5m

this is an unedited image; that window and that building really looked like that from where i stood.

@Deus dunno about legal recourse. i’m sure they have covered themselves by burying the selling of our data somewhere in the t&cs.

also, to be fair, it just isn’t them. uber, domino’s, mygate, sharekhan all do this. even if none of them have a third party as ravenous as branch metrics. 12000 requests per hour is simply insane!

chief takeaway (heh) for me: enable duckduckgo app tracking protection on android and keep a separate device for such commercial transactions.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon maybe they thought the song went, ‘deck the balls with boughs of holly.’

@India it’s nice to see photos of politicians from #india riding in indian trains.

one of the best #crypticcrossword clues i’ve come across all year!

Lacking direction, driver ultimately unable to deliver milk (10).

i'm finally fully recovered from a severe bout of the flu and am now all gung ho to return to my abandoned pieces of work.

the focus will be to tighten the characters and plot for my detective story, primarily.

i'm also toying with the idea of reigniting the gang warfare story from the back burner; building the structure and characters for which has taken most of my time over 2023 and i paused it because of continuity issues.

@srijit @mastodonindians i don’t think there’s a silver bullet. from my failed experience in trying to move friends and family across,
1. the inertia to stay on the traditional platforms is too high. it’s too much of a hassle to move.
2. they’ve already built their follower base on other platforms. the dopamine hit of regular engagement is more readily available there.

these are isolated observations, though. one can’t say how significant these factors truly are.
