Persisting the high score can sometimes make the game less satisfying, as that all-time best looms over every attempt, rather than getting more congrats for improving during session
It depends on how quick-fire the game is, how invested in each attempt, what kind of sharing impulse, etc

There's also a new feature this election: "Camera at every count" which you can see here if you're able to access iPlayer: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m00

The tech behind it is really interesting, essentially it uses a system developed to take advantage of how good mobile phones & networks are these days. We have a live stream from every one of the 385 election counts in the UK & there's an internal representation of them as a mosaic of mosaics.

I wish I could share it but I can't. Sorry.

Good news folks - The King has confirmed that 1st Jan 2025 will be a Bank Holiday.

It wasn't included in the 1971 list of Bank Holidays so has to be authorised each year - otherwise you'd all have to be back at work, with a hangover.

GOD SAVE THE KING!

I had given up on pleading for more alt-text but I'll try again!

Please add alt-text to your photos/pictures it only takes a minute and does not have to be fancy. My policy is not to boost images without alt-text and I am not the only one.

This is one of the cultural things I like about Mastodon, the inclusiveness. Please don't ruin it.

(Edit) was sent a guide for alt-text

The 11th annual international Gender Census 2024 is now open until at least 13th June 2024!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

#gender #survey #LGBT #LGBTQ

Title: Gender Census 2024.

Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part.

Two boxes, one green malachite with a Venus symbol on it, one pink rhodochrosite with a Mars symbol on it.

We are seeking a typographically-sensitive web designer with HubSpot experience to help us integrate our basic email newsletter design into their drag-and-drop templating system.

Implementing our brand fonts (rather than their ancient websafe fonts palette) is key, as many of our subscribers use email clients that support webfonts.

I've just reposted a public status from my new location check-in service.

It doesn't handle replies or likes, but you can follow it.

Expect buggy and untested weirdness 🙂

@Edent I do and highly recommend anyone else who uses a #libre also turns off the auto updates and does them manually. As a #t1d diabetic my phone is a medical device, taking and showing my blood glucose measurements from a sensor in my arm. Among other things, I keep control of when my phone updates both it's OS and this particular app. Waiting until it's known to be a stable version before taking the update.

Have you seen the fabulous @openbenches and it's originating website which turns the corpus of memorial benches across the World into #OpenData
It's really easy to search to see if there are any benches logged near you - and if not then take a geo-tagged photo and add the ones that are missing.
Here is one of my entries from today's walk in the Cotswolds. openbenches.org/bench/30902
