My #Raspberrypi cluster is like a goldfish. It doesn't do a lot. I'm simply glad it's alive and healthy.

Daughter [The Nurse] says there's already rumblings in her hospital about the Hanatan Virus - Here we go again?

Morning All

@kevie What's this leg you don't want me to carry? 😉 🤣

My morning has not been the best. Lots of problems that nobody was willing to help with.

Met Lady Cannon and the dog at lunchtime, and had tea and Greek Orange cake, and I'm feeling slightly better now.

@Tutanota Governments have been trying to control the Internet for over twenty years. My only surprise is at how successful they're becoming.

LOL, they were right! 30 minutes, and it started raining.

Hey @evan

I notice I can still log into identi.ca I was hoping for some info:

When I joined
Number of posts

Sadly, that info is not available. Is there a way I can get it?

I was going to respond to this:

Given I beleive I'm the old man of the Fediverse, and some of these young pups think the Fediverse has only been around since Mastodon's inception. 🤣

@Paul @morph It was sunny here yesterday and reasonably sunny today. We've been promised 21C; we shall see.

I bet it chucks it down on Saturday. 😞

@Paul Which is exactly what I said to the missuses this morning. Will she take any notice? Of course not.

@morph

My phone no longer knows the password to Fakebook which is actually a good thing.

@radix023 Sadly, some family, a former boss, and a couple of FOSS/Linux people I actually like only use FB; otherwise, I'd close my account.

@radix023 I agree. I can't get over the feeling that LinkedIN is actually run by SATAN and his minions because every message you get is from one of those evil salespeople.

Wait? Ermm? Ooh? 😉

There is nothing worse than someone who doesn't deal with an aspect of the business suddenly deciding to get heavily involved with it.

It's going to be a long day. 😞

@evan Ah, the old Knee-jerk reaction, aye?

Christ, how have we managed to stay friends for eighteen years? 🤣 🤣 🤣

@evan I know. I pride myself on Freedom of speech.

Dialogue is the only way we can all get along, whether we agree with each other or not. Sadly, some people don't deserve that level of respect.

I've put up with a lot of shit flung at me over the years. I'm happy to be insulted to a certain degree, be denigrated, have my words twisted, and often be lied about, but there comes a time when enough is enough, and I have to hit the Mute button.

They have to be extremely bad for me to block them.

AI is crapping all over "Teach a man to fish"

I have spent the morning getting it to write PowerShell scripts for doing some housekeeping on our SharePoint.

Mind you, I think my boss has started to smell a rat. He's started asking: "Did you write that or AI?"

I'm hurt, I'm truly hurt. How can you possibly doubt my skill level? 🤣

@evan Aww gawd

You sign in with your email, they send you a link, and you log in with that. What a faff!

What if I don't have access to email on the device I'm using?

@andyc @steevc

@evan

Aye? So how do you protect your account then?

@andyc @steevc

@evan I've literally had five minutes with it. I kinda like the ability to choose categories and mood status from dropdowns. Given I'm a lazy so-and-so, that makes life easier.

I've not been asked to set a password, though? Does that happen when I leave or try to get back in?
