Surely, 2024 must be the Year of Linux on the Desktop, when the supermarket starts selling collectable Tux stickers. 😃

That sense of anticipatory excitement when one receives a text message in the morning. What will it say?

Only to discover it is a reminder from the energy company to submit a meter reading. :blobsad:

UK General Election on July 4th.
I wish it was Independence Day.

Probably, May 2026. Unless the government collapses before then.

Just seen the LibDems out already, erecting election posters. They didn't waste time. Probably because they aren't otherwise gainfully employed.

It was good this morning, almost too hot for working on the allotment.

This is going to sound dumb...

I've wondered for years why I couldn't send emoji in text messages (MMS).

Quite by accident, I've discovered that, all this time, I could. All I had to do was press, and hold, the enter button on the AOSP keyboard. This raises the emoji selector.

Why did no-one tell me?

@fitheach discovered this after ten years of using Android recently

Yeah, how is one supposed to guess these things?

By all means, let's protect our natural environment, but, we DON'T need another bureaucracy.

No more national parks.

I'm not alone, I've seen a few such banners in the locality.

@fitheach well I experienced one of the Italian national parks as a visitor, and I was so impressed with the way it was operated that I made the effort to read their constitution and rules.

The enabling legislation is just that – enabling. The actual set up of the national park is up for grabs, and it is up to local people to grab it.

fitheach,
@fitheach@mstdn.io avatar

@peterbrown
No, it is up to local people to stop it.

To-night, I got my first midgie bites of the year.

The midgie season has begun.

It's so sad. I have a couple of yellow azalea bushes (Ròs-chraobh - Rhododendron luteum) outside the kitchen window. As the name suggests they produce lovely yellow flowers. However, the flowers only ever last about a week, before they droop-down and fall off.

The bumblebees are making the most of it as I type. So, there is that.

Banana Ketchup???

Yuurrrggghh!

Who comes up with these disgusting ideas?

I hate bananas in any form.

peterbrown,
@peterbrown@mastodon.scot avatar

@fitheach we make raspberry jam from extra raspberries so I suppose the Filipinos make banana ketchup from excess bananas.

@peterbrown
The only good banana is a dead banana.

I love Sugar Snap Peas.
I hate stringy bits.

Unfortunately, trying to enjoy the first often results in discovering the second.

Who the **** gave my mobile number to Snapchat?

@fitheach might be phishing not from snapchat… in that case, who the **** gave your mobile number to the phisher?

fitheach,
@fitheach@mstdn.io avatar

@daniel_bohrer
Indeed! Hard to tell without clicking the number.

I've noticed that the first thing many people do when you give them your mobile number is enter it into WhatsApp. My mobile number might've leaked from that.

I note Murena are promoting the Murena One. See my recently boosted post.

Seems pretty decent spec for 199€, including /e/ OS pre-installed, and a two year warranty.

Anyone got one?
What's it like?

We have had a long period of dry, sunny weather The exception was Sunday night when we had two 5 minute thunderous, heavy rain showers. It has since returned to sunny weather.

In consequence, the pollen that was in the air was washed down by the rain, and concentrated in puddles on the roads. The water has now evaporated away, leaving lines of yellow pollen everywhere.

I don't know the source of the pollen, but, judging by the quantity I suspect it is from trees.

@fitheach Probably gorse and/or broom. Lots of it about at the mo and travels a long way on the breeze.

fitheach,
@fitheach@mstdn.io avatar

@outdoorsbeth
Not sure that is it. Very little gorse in the vicinity. If it travelled a long way, wouldn't it disperse?

@fitheach@mstdn.io avatar

I've been noticing lots of weird searches landing on my website, all of them for .

After a bit of detective work I realised I was "benefiting" from searches with a misspelling.

I've become a search typo squatter. 😃

The searchers were looking for Preposterous the Grouch dog from Sesame Street. However, they typed "Gruoch dog", and landed on my website. 😂 😂

What Gruoch, the white Akbash dog, really looks like.

@fitheach @greeneralia At least they're not landing on some random ad-ridden landing page

Someone has just told me about Tattoo Flu.

I wouldn't know anything about it, but, apparently it's a "thing".

@fitheach
The last time I went to Edinburgh Castle to see it I got soaked. I can believe it's a thing.
