When a web thingy you use puts on its homepage that it is "for enterprises", that's probably time to stop using it, isn't it?

    @gilesdring - we need the general media ITN/SKY/BBC to talk about these issues , but they don’t and until then the Tory machine will continue to break Britain for their own greed.

    I'm being mansplained to on Facebook and it's the funniest thing ever. a guy is telling me how watches can't work without electricity, it's not possible even if they're wind up, that power needs to be stored in a battery. I'm trying to explain to him about springs, but he doesn't understand I'm dying 😂.

    Just why do US recipes measure in cups??? Especially when the rest of the ingredients measure with standard measures.

    Surely the argument about ‘depends on the size of your cup’ if the rest of the ingredients are by tablespoon etc doesn’t actually work??

    ianbradbury,

    @hobbitswife - it gets better……. US Imperial sizes for volume are not the same as Standard Imperial sizes.

    I'm a little sad today. Not just for remembering the passing of Steve Jobs. But after almost a year of being here, I'm finally having to block trolls on Mastodon. Dammit.

    These assholes should realize that I spent a decade working for Steve. So, this girl doesn't get intimidated.

    And I almost pity the poor motherfuckers who try to mansplain Web browsers or video transcoding to me. Almost.

    I keep seeing reports that "Trump will testify" in the NY trial.

    1. So you're that gullible, The News?

    2. If he does, he's screwed. He'll either have to take the 5th or he'll commit perjury. Or both.

    3. If he doesn't, of course he's lied again and The News bought it, but also, in civil trials, that can work against him, as can the 5th.

    4. See number 1.

    5. ADDED: Yes, he is on both prosec & def witness lists. But he said "testify." Pleading the 5th isn't testifying.

    ianbradbury,

    @GottaLaff - I really want him to testify so that I can watch him dig that hole deeper and deeper.

    Do they have adverts?

    Maniacs?

    @brennansv - and so we continue to be unable to have nice things. I hope BlueSky manages to grow and retain a sense of community without the trolls. We shall see….

    I'm tweaking my blog's CSS. Because what else is Sunday for!

    First up - tags.

    Which do you prefer:

    • The # being part of the link?
    • The # separate from the link?
    ianbradbury,
    @ianbradbury@considerate.social avatar

    @Edent - definitely the hash should be part of the link, otherwise why have it.

    Remember T2, the other new social network? It just changed its name to Pebble.

    Reachable at pebble.is.

    FYI, I'm @davemark there too.

    The more choices there are, the more Mastodon becomes home base for me, my social center.

    ianbradbury,

    @davemark - I signed up, mainly to have a look at the interface and have followed you over there.

    As a show of how not fussed I am about Pebble, I didn’t even bother to store the password in my password manager.

    “Our cloud exit has already yielded $1m/year in savings”

    Funny read by DHH there. Glosses over the cost of server room, AC, (physical) security, replacements etc though.

    Also, this made me laugh:

    “we don't have to squint hard to see the eventual savings climb all the way up to about $2m/year. That would be TEN MILLION DOLLARS over five years”

    Sure, mate. and over 500 years the savings would be ONE BILLION DOLLARS 🤣

    @michael - DHH links to another post about the hardware they've purchased which has the line... “hardware is fun again”…..

    No. No it's not. Hardware is expensive and a right pain in the arse. The clue is in the name. It's hard. The effort required to maintain the hardware, the operating system, the applications, the support tools, backups and security etc etc. AAARRRGGGHHH. It's hard.

    That said. I do use hey.com as my main email provider and it is excellent.
