@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social i believe this is also the first time in history where the UK is simultaneously in search of a new PM, Doctor Who and 007.

Well this blew up. I don’t have a SoundCloud but you should definitely support the Green Party of England and Wales this Thursday if you’re able.

Finally had cause to do that thing where you access a device over IPv6 when its v4 stack has died in a fire. Even did the whole %eno1 thing. Now I feel like a proper grown-up.
My god LinkedIn is awful. A well-meaning colleague tagged me yesterday with some praise, and now every grifter, chancer, recruiter and vendor wants to connect. Like what do you actually expect me to think is the value in letting you into my “network”?
We’re in the market to upgrade our remaining non-EV car to an #EV. We’d like 200-300 miles range, large hatchback or small SUV is about the right size. Would probably look at 2-3 years old. Any recommendations or models to avoid? Currently on a Merc A Class and the EV is a Mini Cooper.
Have temp muted the systemd tag to get rid of all the noise from the usual haters jumping on another excuse to hate it.
Now I miss @pid_eins@mastodon.social’s daily release note threads because the first post is necessarily tagged systemd. Can’t win.

@arichtman@eigenmagic.net we’ve been pronouncing Jsonnet the French way at work, it’s essentially been a 6 year long bit and no one can stop

@wishy@tooter.wishy.co.uk @staustellsimon@infosec.exchange I’ll give Simon first dibs but if not I’ll take the spare off you.
The blogpost and pointers are really useful btw, ours expires in July and I’d been putting off working out what to do about it.
Controversial take but the Iranian Lego videos just aren’t any good. They are incoherent, they don’t make consistent points and half the time they don’t have any basis in reality. It’s difficult to take them seriously as actual propaganda.

@rhysmorgan@mastodon.social I find this incomprehensible. MagSafe has built in feedback that it is successfully connected and gets a full-screen advert. Qi chargers have no tactile feedback and you have to closely watch the battery indicator. Make it make sense.

@miffyhelen @Ekas2 they did our heat pump. You might end up with our installer, Erik, he’s based in Southampton. He was excellent but had a constant outer monologue. I learnt a lot just listening to him while he worked.

@russss that’s quite old news now, any updates are now only on the Personal Health Dashboards of customers with pre-existing resources in those regions. The regions are essentially deprecated and abandoned now, they’re not coming back up until after the war is done and it’s safe to send engineers to rebuild them.

@hugh@social.crablab.uk a mate has one. He likes it but it is and I quote “too sodding big”

@lorimolson @indigoviolet what they mean is that they frown upon it. It is not “generally” frowned upon. I enjoyed it, and appreciated the fact the joke would likely not exist so readily without AI generating it.

@pheeef@chaos.social @jonty@chaos.social is it Del, Esc, F2, F10 or F11 to get on to this one?

@awfulwoman@indieweb.social @jessie@mastodon.social that’s about right for public sector IME.

@solar_chase@mastodon.green I’m always suspicious of someone from the UK quoting GMT, as they seem to think we still use GMT in the summer. But if someone says UTC they always mean it, in my experience.
Cooking chicken for the first time for a long time (we’re mostly pescatarian but not strict about it) and I was shocked to discover two breasts are now £8.30. Madness.

@awfulwoman@indieweb.social @jessie@mastodon.social you have to want to do it and be able to do it. I’d go back to it once the mortgage is paid off.
