Our government is mostly useless, but this is brilliant. First major step on the road to a peaceful resolution, I hope. Ceasefire now!

🇵🇸 🇮🇱 🇮🇪 🇪🇸 🇳🇴

"On January 21 1919, Ireland asked the world to recognise our rights to be an independent state. Our message to the free nations of the world was a plea for international recognition of our independence, emphasising our distinct national identity, our historical struggle, and our rights to self-determination and justice.

Today, we use the same language to support the recognition of Palestine as a state."

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Given that our electric goes when a hedgehog sneezes this doesn’t bode well for cooking dinner. I could use the gas barbecue if I have an umbrella I suppose.

Since the vegan is away, I made chicken curry for dinner.

I decided to try the absorption method with the rice again. Another fail. It’s just about edible but definitely underdone.

I usually boil it in too much water and strain the extra away and I never have trouble that way. Ah well.

@taber @thatmanmatt Until last year, there was one here in Ireland themed around crisps (chips) but they rebranded. https://www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-news/tayto-park-look-back-past-23105157

It’s just been pointed out to me that the reason Apple runs a trade-in programme for older devices is so they can reduce the size of the used market, and has fuck all to do with recycling.

That’s blown my tiny mind.

@DJDarren I can’t honestly believe people use Apple’s programme though, last time I checked you get way more selling your device than they give you for trade-in.

My iPhone Home Screen photos widget showed me the day we got Tigger. 🐯

@motoridersd Our president is about 836 years old but he’s largely a figurehead. The new Taoiseach (equivalent of the Prime Minister in the UK) is only 37. 🫨

Well, after a month without it, I just re-started our @1password subscription. 😅

I thought I could cope with iCloud Keychain, and if it was just passwords that would be fine, but there are so many other features 1Password has that I used constantly without even realising it... I really missed them when they were gone.

brad,

Now I just have to try and remember which items I've added to iCloud Keychain in the last month…

@BeAware @bitwarden A buddy was on my family plan for 1Password and he moved to Bitwarden when I didn’t renew the subscription, and he was VERY happy that I signed up again.

I don’t think there’s any extra features, just better/more polished implementation. Better browser sign in etc.

I’ve spent hours tonight trying to make “Alerts” only go to people who are at home, and I just can’t do it. Well, I can but I’d have to create an alert per person, and some kind of helper to indicate that they should be alerted, with associated automations to turn that on and off. Messy.

I’m just gonna have to use basic notifications from an automation instead. 🙄 I have that working, but I liked the simplicity of Alerts when it comes to repeated alerts while the trigger is still active.

If they’d let us use templates for notify group or in the “notifier” field in Alerts I’d be sorted. 😒

brad,
@brad@chez.gay avatar

@kaiserkiwi Thanks, I already have a script that does that. I was trying to use Alerts instead of scripts/automations though.

brad,
@brad@chez.gay avatar

@kaiserkiwi No worries, I only found out about them this weekend and wanted to use ‘em.

Basically they monitor the state of something, and notify you repeatedly until it’s back to normal. I can do the same thing with automations and notifications, alerts are just easier.

Ok I just tried this and I can’t do it either. But then I have the flexibility of a steel ruler in freshly washed jeans which have been sprayed with 4 cans of hairspray. 80s hairspray, with all the bad chemicals they’re not allowed to use any more.

I love every update about those homophobic Canadian YouTubers who moved their family (of 10) to Russia because they hate gay people so much

@taber @Goodwithcolour How is this a surprise to them? That looks like every Russian apartment I’ve ever seen.
