@barabasz@mstdn.social @koop@mastodon.com.pl @m0bi@mastodon.com.pl @matt@xmatt.pl very interesting and admirable info
There is no football on tonight and I don't really know what to do. I have a 5.1 sound system set up in the living room and I really like the sound of the crowd and the commentator even when I am not watching it. Worldcup withdrawal and increased excitement is going to be the next thing that I have to deal with. #worldcup #football #quarterfinals

@tina @ketan Norway has done very well to electrify a lot of it's cars with grants and incentives and extensive charging points, this hasn't happened in trucking yet obviously so I think it's fair to protest the cost of diesel. I don't think Norwegian truckers are the enemy and I don't think they are against climate preservation or electric lorries but maybe their protest will make some of the Norwegian politicians look into grants for the purchase of electric heavy duty transportation.
Shovelled four bags of well rotted manure for delivery to keen gardeners tomorrow, one doesn't know it's coming and so I'll just leave it on the doorstep and send him a message saying, left you a big bag of shit :-) It really is great for growing plants though, maybe 4 years rotted straw dung and urine bovine, riddled with worms and all that. #manure #gardening #spring
Plan tomorrow is to go to Belfast to the Law Library with my new memership, pick up a layback BMX seat and seat post and go to the office to check my mail et al. Won't be that warm but want to go by motorbike so will be wearing my winter biker gear the underlayer looks like Hulk Hogan's outfit with leggings. #Law #motorcycle #bmx

@Lyle I watched some Buffy when it came out and not any of angel I think so both worth a go, thanks.

@Dolphinchaz I know, would have been quite a photo with dog, pine martin and I all in one shot but there it is. Wasn't a fancy camera and maybe it should have been a more reliable one but there it is. Still was a moment to cherish to look into the eyes of the Pine Martin that close, it escaped by running under the tree trunk avoiding the dog and I, quite skillful indeed.

@Dolphinchaz I once was on a fallen tree over a river beside a bridge and my dog inadvertently chased a pine martin up the tree and my brother was on the bridge with a camera, I thought I was in some sort of fairy kingdom seeing the Pine Martin up that close, alas the camera jammed and photo never happened but it is still one of my favourite things, happened in Tollymore Forest Co. Down, NI, where there are lots of red squirrels too.

@pluralistic@mamot.fr Very informative and as always tremendous depth and knowledge. I, however, am always jolted into a mild repelling with your term #enshittification which is apt for it's descriptor and wondered if 'nshtifi' might be an alternative. Thanks for the RSS knowledge, I like them but have been dredging of late so your tips are very welcome. Best, David

@maxleibman@beige.party I have been looking for neurodetergent that actually cleans, I know this sounds like the start of an ad but actually I hope someone does invent something like this:-) #neurodetergent
@gwynnion I want my browser to work hard at providing protection from my data being mopped up willy nilly. In the past I've found Tor unable to access some sites because they need that data to flow. Maybe this is different now. I am a #browserslut through all of the browsers I use, Opera I quite liked for a while, then Firefox and for some websites Edge just works better even though it does feel like I am being groped in the dark. It's funny that browsers are so critical to digital life.

@_elena@mastodon.social @jeroensky@mastodon.social I think we need to raise more money for people like you!

@transworld@masto.ai Even without the new series Rowling will have enough money to do whatever with it. It's a terrible precedent the case she funded has started but there was one that was lost with the Belfast Film Festival that she funded the other party and I think it showed how hateful the prejudice is.
Set up a mid naughties DAW and so far I is loving it, using an old toughbook and sound card. #reason3 #windowsxp

@artnacrea maybe, I have no idea how people order their chips elsewhere. I get my mineral from the local shop right enough

@Nickiquote@mstdn.social I wonder is it a reaction to the New Orleans incident, if it were a right extremist then the cyber outside the trump tower might be a reaction. Terrible to have casualties from such actions.

This only has UK teams info though and I want to watch the France Holland game on the 14th, I can pay to get this info which is of course not what I want to have to do. I do like watching french tv and it would be good for my french I suppose too, there is a hardware VPN router that I could get but I am trying to be careful with my spending and my impulsive interests.

@_elena@mastodon.social @jeroensky@mastodon.social Convenience seems rational. You are helping to build a better path and it will happen. I think your posts and energy are very invigorating and as ever the most important asset in all your efforts is you so hope you get some time to enjoy the autumnal weather starting.
I recently discovered the James Cameron tv Series Dark Angel with Jessica Alba and got the two series on DVD which were excellent but now that they are over everything else is just rubbish. Suggestions for films and tv most welcome. #askfedi #tv #darkangel
RE: @grrlscientist@mastodon.social
There are a lot of reasons why this is really important to consider. Personally for me, and I am not making light of all the other reasons this should be put in place, the bees and their decline and the treatment of the Apiary diaspora is a big one.
Gomez v Nike - an interesting case on data protection that seems to be importing GDPR style standards.
I really liked the film, 'One Battle after another' though my least favourite character / actor was Sean Penn but he got best supporting actor over Benicio Del Toro which wouldn't be my choice. #oscars #onebattleafteranother #beniciodeltoro

@robinince@mastodon.social like an out and proud lind of thing. There is still a lot of prejudice around so I think it should be information released with great care as the knowledge and lack of actual knowledge will not be used with care.

I occasionally go to the local chip shop in the village. I am a quandary being a blow in. I used to get a chicken fillet burger and a chip but one day I just ordered a chip which resulted in a much better chip than with the burger. I feel like this is some sort of economics thing. Unfortunately I would need to buy the burger and chips separately in different outfits to get the best food #economics #food #chipsmeanfatfriesnotcrisps
Hair pull an automatic red card in the man u Leeds mens game and in the arsenal Chelsea game McCabe's hair pull gets the Chelsea manager a send off. Can't believe arsenal women haven't been pulled up about a lot of things long before now. Man U just scored 2:1 to Leeds, oh boy. #football #hairpull #manunited
