@stux@mstdn.social if you’re a Mac user I heartily recommend “Pure Paste”. I got it primarily for stripping formatting when I copy and paste from MS apps, but it also has a feature to strip tracking from URLs. An absolute bargain at $4 https://sindresorhus.com/pure-paste

Been getting a loooot of spam calls from mobile numbers recently, telling me to add them on WhatsApp for a job offer. Dunno why the sudden uptick. What breach was my mobile number included in recently? 🤔

UK folk, as we find ourselves in 30+C temperatures again, this is a reminder to check your medicines for appropriate storage temperatures. You’ll find that many of them shouldn’t be stored above 25C, so get them in the fridge 👍❄️💊

It’s a very, very polished product that has a great FOSS support community.

At the risk of being tragically hip: if you're gonna watch a great Sam Neil movie in memoriam, make it Until The End Of The World. But do it justice, get the Director's Cut, lots of drinks and snacks, and set an afternoon aside for it. Then, by all means, have Jurassic Park or Dead Calm as a snappy palate cleanser when you're done. 📽️🍿🥤 ☢️🦖⛵️

The new Durutti Column album is lovely, but this track is absolutely gorgeous. One of the dreamiest, most affecting pieces of music I’ve heard for years… https://music.apple.com/gb/album/1894442782?i=1894442849

WTF? The players fighting on the pitch afterwards? Bunch of absolute arseholes. No wonder the fans behave like animals when the players act this way. This tournament has done absolutely nothing to improve my opinion of the sport, its players, and fans. Utterly corrupt, in every imaginable way 😒

I have to admit to not being a fan of Pratchett's novels, so most of the references are going waaaay over my head, but there are still some absolutely banging tunes on this week's #thePlaylist I've just been grooving along to Donovan's marvellous Season Of The Witch 🧙

I finished The Regicide Report last night and, with it, The Laundry Files.

I’m sure we’ll hear from Bob and Mo again at some point, but until then they can have a well deserved rest.

It was a wild ride, thanks @cstross@wandering.shop, you did good.

@mczachurski@mastodon.social @blabberlicious@toot.community interesting.....I tried to convince Dan to add similar functionality to pixelfed some time ago, without success (he was/is more interested in building an Instagram alternative than a serious photography platform, I suspect). I like this, it's looking like a nice blend of Flickr and Mastodon 👍 Does it use EXIF data to autopopulate the metadata?

@Erased_Citizen@cupoftea.social sounds like a plan. If a may offer a tip: walk a little faster than you find comfortable, but only a little, enough to raise your heart rate. You’ll get a lot more out of it, and gradually find yourself walking faster and faster (and burning more calories).
