kerfuffle, 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago) to random

#Mozilla asks for donations to reach half of their CEO's yearly salary, while people are getting laid off. Seems to me that the solution is simple.

[edit] Okay, this has gotten a lot of buzz, and I'm happy people respectfully weighed in with arguments and counterarguments. I'm not giving up on #Mozilla and #FireFox, nor on other initiatives for a better web. I am, however, going to be muting this now.

So, Royal is a centre back again and Hojbjerg is in for 6. An understandable and, dare-I-say PRAGMATIC selection from Ange.

@soccer @epl

To help football fans find their communities, I've put together a spreadsheet listing (for now) #PremierLeague teams, their hashtags, and associated groups.

I've enabled comments. Would be great if you could let me know if anything is incorrect or if there's a preferred hashtag or group for your club community here on Mastodon and the wider #OpenSocialWeb.

Boosts much appreciated. Thanks!

Is it just me or has the @SpursOfficial account EVER looked so good?

It's the opposite of doom scrolling.

It's good vibes joy scrolling.

Long may it continue. 🤍

One thing I think everyone is surprised about this season (including Ange to a certain degree) is how quickly the squad got up to speed with his tactics. Commentators said it would take time to "click".

But it seems to have mostly clicked right away. Not perfect, but they seem to be clicking.

Is that perhaps because the squad starts from a position of excellent Ventrone baseline fitness? They can handle the required intensity of Angeball over 90+ mins.

Jermaine Jenas and seems terribly confused.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67537680

A severely depleted Spurs using their "b-side" put in a positive performance against a settled and very good Aston Villa and could easily have won, yet Ange was "naive" and needs to adapt. He then waffles on about how good Spurs were and how Aston Villa weren't that impressive.

What exactly would Ange adapt to? What would make him less naive?

We lack players and that's not the manager's fault.

Not sure I can cope with a second half of that.

Hojbjerg on.

Trying to exert some control?

Not feeling positive.

Tottenham v Sheffield summary

2-1

• Goals from Richarlison and Kulusevski in added time

• We dominated but lacked a clinical edge

• Sonny couldn't get in the game

• Starting XI were not ideal for Sheffield IMO

• Sheffield were well organised defensively

• Sheffield wasted time and it justifiably came back to bite them

• Several bad refereeing decisions

• A warrior's mentality snatched a well deserved win.

• Best start to season since 1965

I know some people don't like hashtags. Particularly Twitter and possibly Bluesky users too. Some seem to be almost offended by them. But as metadata – a way of enhancing the portability of messages across networks, they sure are useful. Not only a means to opt in to specific messages, but also mute and opt out. They allow for quantification of messages based on tag/topic. They're much more reliable than keyword searches (but perhaps AI will change that).

It’s as we feared.

Randomly browsing Google Maps & saw this interesting change:

• Selecting a place highlights the building
• Small green arrows appearing, seems to indicate possible entrances/exits
• Upon further inspection, seems like they could be derived from Street View imagery

Place: Telok Blangah Crescent Market & Food Centre, Singapore.

@cheeaun Does the catch-up thing not show boosts from Guppe groups on purpose? Technical limitation? Would love to be able to group by group. 🙂

Very grateful for all those who’ve #followed already but still struggling despite the advice to find any old mutual follows. If you fancy sending some of your followers my way to enrich my #mastodon experience, that would be ace.

@spurs

Quick question: is it worth continuing with the #COYS stuff here on Masto?

The community seems to be shrinking while Bluesky continues to grow.

Does it matter?

What is it that Bluesky offers that Masto doesn't?

I've come to realise it's quality of connections on social media that matters rather than volume. So perhaps it being relatively quiet here is a plus?

It has been very quiet of late, though. Perhaps it's just because we've been playing badly?
