Our local councillor is a Tory and has been posting those signs around that have the Tory candidate on them. Does anyone know where I can get some signs that say “vote tactically, stop the Tories” or something

@ianbetteridge Don't we have rules about convicted criminals running certian businesses?

I will be starting the installation of Mastodon v4.2.9 on Masto.host.

There will be about 15 seconds of downtime during the upgrade.

Changelog: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.9

BCS ITNow interview with me dropped today! It is about ethics and games. Apologies, there doesn’t appear to be an online version and it’s too long for alt text :(

@CatherineFlick really good piece, albeit based on some pinch to zoom skimming!

I remember Command & Conquer always feeling more rewarding as the GDI rather than NOD.

Great start to the day!

Excel’s beyond a joke collaboration features have meant all of my work yesterday has been wiped out because one of my colleagues saved over the versions.

This is why you don’t use Excel for fault tracking!

@Floppy @jae @wamonite I wish that was an option - huge corporate with beyond moronic IT policies and people in place.

Village WhatsApp groups are such great spaces to find out how people think the internet works. Just write “is anyone having trouble with their internet?” And immediately you’ll get all kinds of bizarre theories about what to do to get it back. Today’s: “we had a power cut so it might take a while to come back on”

@CatherineFlick “Well, I thought there was a power cut, but then I saw a bus going down the road with its lights on “

Normally I love to watch and live-toot but as Israel continues to be involved despite their horrific violence in Gaza, I can’t support the show tonight. Good luck to all the other contestants.

@CatherineFlick it’d be very different if the Israeli entrant was taking a stand, but she’s not.

Now wondering whether to pitch an @emf lightning talk that would either (a) be really interesting and unexpected or (b) make me look utterly insane and destroy what little credibility I have left.

Not sure I'm brave enough.

@Floppy you have credibility ?

Hey, fedi-friends!

I’d love to set up a chat for @crossed with myself and @jae.

Ideally, I want a conversation about the whats and whys of it - maybe a Hitchhiker’s Guide esque chat ?

Probably looking for 1-3 guests to join us ?

Boosts hugely appreciated.

The last 10 years of being married to @Demios have been pretty amazing. So amazing, in fact, that if you were to ask me out of the blue how long we'd been married I would probably say "five?". Time flies when you're having fun (also when you've had 2 kids). Here's to 10 times 10 times 10 plus infinity more! (as our oldest would say :)

Good Morning. 🌄

From this Apple support article, I (mis)understood that the M3 could 'only' drive two displays in total. 🤔

I have three running here if you include the laptop panel. 💪

I was a bit worried when I got this laptop for work that I couldn't use my existing display setup. I was happily worrying unnecessarily.

@jsbilsbrough@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@popey took me a moment too, they aren’t counting the internal display. It’s subtle but using external displays makes sense.

So, researching the story of the somewhat bizare story of 5 1/4 still being used on San Francisco trains:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/5-25-inch-floppy-disks-expected-to-help-run-san-francisco-trains-until-2030/

Can any of you folks tell me if a floppy emulator would help here, like a GoTek, is such a thing possible for 5 1/4” disks?

Boosts appreciated!

So, are doing what they’re calling a private AI chat bot.

https://www.reddit.com/r/duckduckgo/comments/1adxgy4/give_duckduckgo_ai_chat_a_spin/

What’s your take @CatherineFlick ? Is it a good way to protect our privacy or just another ‘sell out’ to AI with all the problems chat bots bring ?

@CatherineFlick yup.

Hey fed-friends!

Anyone looking for an experienced customer support ninja ?

I’m looking for either a full time role with one company, or helping a range of clients with their support needs.

The latter is where I want to get @crossed to be providing.

Any of you lovely indie app folks want some extra support help ?

Boosts very much appreciated!

So, @gedeonm lit a fire under my butt to remind me to get our awesome #ProjectTapestry chat out onto the feed.

It’ll be with you Wednesday!

The whole is so plainly a huge miscarriage of justice.

I genuinely believe any Post Office executive or manager who lied about the system, with huge security flaws, needs to be investigated by the police for perverting the course of justice.

'Green Bubbles and Blue Bubbles Want to Be Together' Says Samsung Ad Pushing Apple to Adopt RCS https://www.macrumors.com/2023/10/09/samsung-pushes-apple-to-adopt-rcs/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

jsbilsbrough,

@macrumors we need to be stressing that RCS is not a good protocol! Out of the box it’s not e2ee, forcing different flavours.

I just get folks to install @signalapp !

I’d love to have a discussion about the paywall for @crossedwires - I think it’s an important topic as it seems like they’re effectively saying is only for those who contribute back ?

Anyone interested?
