Finally, my own post about the #misinformation, plus a couple of other truthful ones, are at the top of Google for this search.

Whatʼs an alternative to #RealVNC for Windows? They are changing their subscription plans.

@nf3xn Um, maybe not! Thank you though! 😁

No 1 News Midday, but hey, we can watch Deal or No Deal Australia. #TVNZ

Germany now calls the United States the land of forbidden books. Think about that for ten seconds, please.

@jeffjarvis Well, I have been calling Olaf Scholz, and Angela Merkel before him, the leader of the free world.

Starting tea now, even though I started cooking it at 7 p.m. (which is late for me, but appointments).
Sure I had a 7.30 p.m. meeting but restarted soon after.
Imagine if I had kids how long this would take. Probably won’t be eating till 2 a.m. Then finishing up around 4 a.m. only to start the next day at 7 a.m.
No wonder parents look tired.

RIP Roger Corman. Great innings, at 98. And what a legacy. The Fast and the Furious (the original one), Machine Gun Kelly, Last Woman on Earth, Big Bad Mama, and hundreds more with his involvement. #film #RogerCorman

I went outside a number of times last night but could see no sign of the lights in the sky from here in Auckland. Mind you, there’s a new block of town houses obscuring our view to the South. Perhaps I should have been a nimby after all.

@billbennett Nothing but the faintest red glow to the south of the city from Tawa and Porirua, so we missed it, too. Just the moon and stars as usual here.

Getting FOMO out here in the northern suburbs. Anything out your way, @pkboi? #aurora

From a marketing POV, would you really want your brand appearing behind, say, the Finance Minister as she gives a speech? Tricky sponsoring events with politicians—plus you can't be guaranteed that if you are balanced (e.g. you also host an event with a shadow minister) that the other event will receive the same exposure.

@InayaShujaat It's a horrible site, complicit in genocide. When I sat on a school board, I was always trying to direct them to look at alternatives (e.g. their own website—at least the visitors there aren't bots) but without direct interference since my job was governance.

@nf3xn I saw the 1979 Hobbit cartoon on TV in the 1980s. That was enough for me.

Just finished a wonderful book written by a friend of mine in the rainbow community. He and I are of a similar age, and we have some similar beliefs, but one thing we differ on is that I never visualized Jon and Ponch on CHiPs naked!

jackyan,
@jackyan@mastodon.social avatar

@ricmac My friend Craig and I played CHiPs in the playground except blond Craig wanted to be Ponch and I wanted to be Jon, so that’s what we decided! 😁

Do people just argue for the sake of it? This person took issue with what I wrote and when I asked them to explain, we wind up pretty much with what I originally said.

Yay, @Vivaldi, thank you for the latest version and for fixing that tracker blocking bug!

@jackyan@mastodon.social avatar

I donʼt have an ad blocker, Mother Jones, you do. In fact, the current Vivaldi has a bug so Iʼm not blocking a thing.

Vivaldi settings showing that they are on 'No blocking' by default.

@nf3xn True, I couldnʼt block ads if the page were rendered, and do I remember defining those hot spots! Fun times, especially as we were dealing with such tiny areas (with hindsight there was little point, just make the whole image clickable!). Nothing truly new under the sun, just adaptations given that the medium is still a flat screen of dots in front of us.

Almost all councils reporting, and there are more Lib Dem councillors than Conservative ones.

@nf3xn Iʼve noticed that with the Zionist Sir Phony Blair and the whole Labour establishment. Largely the same shit with different colours.

@nf3xn Tory lite—certainly the coalition showed them to be that.

@nf3xn The original Tony is looking more and more like the ghoul he is.
(My nickname for Keir Starmer is Sir Phony Blair. Same Thatcherite BS.)
