Does anyone know how come #IdleChampions is such a CPU hog? A friend's new laptop was super laggy and we realised it's because it was using 18% of her CPU power.

@cliffwade I think 2022; I moved to this instance in 2023 but I think I'd been here for about a year on the previous one (aus.social).

When did you ORIGINALLY join Mastodon and/or the Fediverse?

If you don't remember when you joined, simply comment below and tell me!

I said, “Do you see what just happened there? It knows you like Cristiano Ronaldo so it talked like it’s a Cristiano Ronaldo fan and asked you a question about him.”

I didn’t realize #Copilot was still listening. It said “Right, it picks up on the cues and then tells you what it thinks you want to hear.”

That was pretty creepy, but it illustrated my point and made an impression on my son.

I've seen the sentiment that "trans women have a duty to use their hypervisible position to advocate for less visible trans people", and I want to kind of set aside the moral claim there, just for a minute, because it really implies that some folks don't actually understand what that hypervisibility is.

The hypervisibility of trans women isn't this thing where trans women get all these opportunities to speak out or whatever, it's specifically that trans women are used in propaganda as the face of social illness. There aren't all these trans women getting big breaks on the news or whatever that they're selfishly using to advocate only for trans women: hypervisibility comes with being silenced, not having a bigger voice. It's a strategy for taking away the ability of trans women to advocate for anyone or anything through the purposeful cultivation of a propagandistic image. If you're suggesting that trans women are squandering opportunities to advocate for people I would suggest you've probably fallen for the propaganda.

@theropologist Is there anything we can do from the viewer end for feedback, or can you get all the data you need by looking at results on your end?

THIS IS A TEST!

This is a test of the polling system. Please vote, especially if you are outside of beige.party. I'm trying to prove a theory that since v4.3.4 polls with more than 4 options only record votes from the local instance. This poll is the control.

What's your favorite temper?

Edit: Adding this here for visibility. This was not a bug in the Mastodon code, but rather the result of me increasing the max poll options on the web server but not on the server running the sidekiq processes.

@frogglin she loves you!

hi reddit, I'm disarming a bomb. should I cut the red or the blue wire?

edit: wow this blew up

Listening to #BBC programme on Queen's Nurses delivering babies at the mother's homes in #Scotland.
My mother was born at #home, so was my father. I was born at #hospital.

I wonder, how many of my readers were born at home.

#Poll Where were you born?:

Please #vote and #boost out of interest.

I wonder if the papal conclave has a theocracy sausage?

Back in my day, the Internet consisted of 12 badgers, 2 mushrooms, and 1 snake.

it's in his kiss (that's where it is)

They're undercover on a planet where everyone greets each other with kissing.

Anyone got recs for places to buy #DungeonsAndDragons #terrain in #Australia? Not overseas that ships here, somewhere local, even better if it's in #Melbourne so I can look in person. I don't have a job yet but I've got so many little figures that need something to stand on and there's only so much diorama construction I feel capable of on my own.

@mary they're gorgeous! You look fab.

I have a USD$2,425 D&DiaC company credit voucher that I am hoping to sell (this has been approved by the company). If you have plans to attend in 2025 and have not yet purchased your tickets, please consider purchasing this from me to use towards them.

I've been trying to sell this for some time now and am having another crack at it because even if I could get the money to afford attending the event, the US and UK are not safe travel destinations for a non-binary person.

We were originally meant to go in 2020 and a series of events have meant that I both can't and SHOULDN'T go, which… this was going to be my absolute dream holiday and I won't bang on about it, but I have gone through a lot of emotions about the whole thing.

Anyways, check out www.dndinacastle.com and see what they're about. #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPGs #DnDInACastle
