I'm not great with faces so if you hit follow please have something in your profile has I can work out who you are.

Not that I'm hung up on my own body image at all but... Trump self reported his weight right? They didn't stick him on a set of scales and decare him 3kg lighter than me right?

WTF IS WRONG WITH CISHET MEN?

I match with a guy who seems perfectly lovely and then he says:

"Very pretty but look like u really put any form of chest wear to the test"

Very strange. Taken delivery of some new USB-C cables. But they don't work with HDMI.

My USB-C port supports HDMI.
My USB-C dock supports HDMI.
A different brand of cable carries video from laptop->dock->monitor.

These new cables carry data, they max out my broadband (330MBps), they do PowerDelivery.

But not video!

Is this a problem with the cable itself, or something else? Any way to test them?

(Not here for your hot takes on , , or . Actually looking for advice.)

@Edent everything about this, and this thread itself, seems infuriating. I am sorry

One thing the Fediverse lacks that I would really like is a way to check which instances have defederated from the one I'm on, and what the impact is, i.e. do I follow / am I followed by anyone on those instances.

@pwaring that would be handy

Anyone got any mnemonics for Markdown? I usually need to check the web each time for:

or

@jtruk Its nonsense, but if you wanted to link to something in () then the syntax would be ((thing))[link] and that's just weird looking so it must be

I've managed to cobble together what could generously be described as a tuna nicoise salad from different pots I found in the office canteen and I'm pretty pleased with myself.

The UK government are planning to follow China and require security vulnerabilities be reported centrally and then remain unpatched to allow Five Eyes access. https://www.justsecurity.org/87615/changes-to-uk-surveillance-regime-may-violate-international-law/

What kind of BS is this?

"One Pentagon spokesman said that he was keeping Musk apprised of my inquiries about his role in Ukraine and would grant an interview with an official about the matter only with Musk’s permission. “We’ll talk to you if Elon wants us to,” he told me. "

For the last few months I've been consolidting all my photos to Aplpe Photos and cleaning up, and it's mostly pretty good to work with.
However, it is infuriating that there's no way to force the "find duplicates" and "find people" functions. You just have to leave it open, plugged into power and wait for the "by magic" to happen.

@mattgrayyes I've not tried (or dared) do that yet. It will come. Currently back porting geo data to 12k+ pre-phone pictures
