Asking that my doctor take the symptoms in my sinuses more seriously.

Is Tux leading him to a mammoth graveyard?

Now we’re going down to the bottom field where Barry and Lucinda believe they’ve found a wall.

Cornet and Trumpet. I can play fairly advanced stuff but I don’t have the embouchure and can only keep it up for a few minutes.

Guitar: strumming and some finger picking. Took this up again during covid as I wanted to sing and play, which I can do now.

Piano: also from COVID. Slowly working through Alfreds but it’s fun so I don’t mind.

Every mass is moving really fast from a certain point of view.

So we just have to keep doing what we’re already doing?

I’d been thinking along these lines - even as an anglophone it feels like the fediverse user base is largely USA, UK, Canada, and Australia, with some representation for German and French speakers. To really get away from the dominance of the Western tech giants I’d like to see much more global representation, and that would mean not just trying to mirror how the Western social media platforms worked.

However, for auto-translation the onus may be more on app developers than instances, as it wouldn’t really be practical to keep translations in every language. Maybe there could be instances for particular languages and they provide auto-translation to one or two other languages?

If I want to read discussion about a new movie or game that all seems to be on reddit, so I guess the lesson is to try starting that sort of thing here and hope it picks up. With a smaller user base you have to accept that individual posts may not get any traction though. I do think having discussion other than Linux and whatever Trump is going on about this week would help to grow the platform.

I might buy a new tennis racquet instead. Humanity emerges blinking into the sunlight as hypnotic little black rectangles become unaffordable.

that’s why I keep it in the garage in a plastic tub.

The iphone keyboard is dogshit now.

At work now we’re having team learning sessions that are just one person doing a change incredibly slowly using AI while everyone else watches, but at least I can keep doing my regular work if it’s a Teams call. It usually takes the AI about 45 minutes to decide what I immediately knew needed doing.

The Undertaker throwing Mankind off the top of Hell In A Cell and through the announcers’ table.

“Microsoft Windows App” confused the shit out of me earlier. I only realised it was Remote Desktop when I read the description, and I only did that because I was wondering what the fuck Microsoft Windows App is.

I thought the iPad being just a giant iPhone was stupid and it wouldn’t catch on. Years on I use an iPad to read comic books in bed, though I guess tablets as a whole are kind of niche and not great as a productivity tool due to mobile OSs holding them back.

Obviously genociding the inhabitants is what means you own the land.

It’s the Torygraph. It was always trash.

I can see Microsoft just being the Azure company at this rate. Then they’ll have to charge what it costs to run and a lot of companies will wish they had stayed cloud agnostic.
