I am rearranging my social media accounts! (Thrilling, I know.)

@iona - public account, mostly to do with radio and geography and anything else I've spotted around and find interesting/fun.

@iona - personal account, followers-only, for personal stuff and politics.

Thank you!

@bleeptrack No, you need business succulents. Succulents in little pots with your details printed on them.

No one will ever throw one of those away. πŸ‘

If you are a musician or sound artist and you urgently need 'native' support for audio uploads on mastodon, you can (and please do!) vote (thumbs up) or ideally write a short comment on the issue on github: "Allow users to post audio files #4827"

It looks like support is almost there but still not really implemented. Votes for this can raise the priority of this much needed feature.

github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/

(please boost!)

@megfault Ask me how that's going. Go on, dare you. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

@mala Yeah... no. Whatever happens with Internet copyright law it's not nearly as much of a threat to people as a disorderly Brexit.

@flussence @Freyaday My main email for 12 years has been a .eu domain. I've spent the past *year* moving everything off it - banking, government account, social media, all the random internet accounts that you accrue online over the years.

I've switched to posteo.net, a German provider of 10 years standing. I'm done with having my own domain for email - I thought it was the stable option but this has proven otherwise.

If you’re a UK resident or citizen, and don’t want , sign this official petition: Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU. petition.parliament.uk/petitio

(Keep trying if the site goes down - bots are regularly overloading it)

To watch the numbers without overloading the site, use livefrombrexit.com/petitions/2

The numbers aren’t updated often because the petition site servers are struggling. :-(

@jotbe Please don't sign it if you are not a UK resident or a UK citizen living overseas. The last thing we want is for the signature count to be artificially inflated and for it to be deemed invalid.

I'd like to find out who invented the "Recently Used" file list.

Then take them behind the bike shed and beat them senseless with a rubber chicken.

I was getting tired of the cookie and privacy warnings all over the Internet, so I learned how to hide them: Using uBlock Origin, go to its preferences -> Filter lists -> open the "Annoyances" section -> activate "Fanboy's Cookie List" -> click "Apply changes".

@cathal I'm not sure using a ferry would be a good idea. Shipping is highly polluting - most of the ferries around these islands run on horrible stinking bunker oil.

Am I misreading something? Because surely the least polluting way to get from Cork to Dublin would be to catch a train?

@m0puh @vu3rdd Very sad news. I met him quite a few times and saw a lot of his talks at the G-QRP conventions held at Rishworth. A nice man, very clever and resourceful and fascinating to talk to.

He leaves behind a huge body of technical works, books and SPRAT articles.

The G-QRP Club of course continues, the convention is nowadays held annually in Telford and SPRAT still publishes quarterly.

@DrRetro You can have mine if you want. I've used it for email since 2006. My bank account and government account are linked to it.

Still giggling?

Will someone please buy my graphics card? I want it gone and there don't seem to be takers on eBay!

This is the card: asus.com/uk/Graphics-Cards/STR

Used ones seem to be selling between Β£80 and Β£120 online, Β£70 to you.

It works perfectly fine and hasn't been used that much - I just don't need it and would rather have the money. Let me know if you are interested! UK and Ireland only.

@kirstyyarr An easy mistake to make, I always get Dublin and Glasgow mixed up with Dublin and Glasgow

@kirstyyarr Sorry to chime in with unsolicited advice but have you tried looking for flights from Dublin to Glasgow by any chance?
