@marcoarment this is why we buy Defenders.

I like blue cheese and I cannot lie

Mostly because my breath stinks afterwards

@ianRobinson ChapGPT

So yeah, I bought a guitar pedal. But no, I’m not doing anything with the guitar these days. I only bought the BOSS Multi Overtone pedal because it’s called MO-2. I am that vain.

The death of Kurt Cobain when I was 16 was probably my first exposure to mental health issues. I saw a musical hero take his own life and I needed to know why. What I learned became the basis for dealing with my own mental health issues, and probably made the difference between me asking for health and taking my own life.

I still wish he’d stuck around, though.

@pw @synthdiy that’s such a shame. I’ve placed a couple of orders with Thonk recently and they’ve all been dispatched quickly. I can only assume it’s the transit to the US that was where the issues lie.

@BasicAppleGuy @vinnycoyne that “API calls remaining” brings back memories!

I see we’re at the point where third-party Twitter clients are getting “sure can’t you just…” advice.

@joshua I see people (like me) saying “can’t wait to buy a bunch of apps” and I wonder if the indie app economy is just a subtle siphon of surplus cash from the people with jobby jobs.

Which is great if it works!

@seanddotmedotuk I was watching some of the TOTP Christmas specials over the break and remembering watching them at the time. Was both a warm bath of nostalgia, and a cold shower of aging.

@joshua sometimes I’m a little conflicted about things like this. I often wonder if there is actually a valid market for some apps or are they all supported by “friends” buying everything they put out. But I guess the market is really about getting your app/company enough friends.

Basically can’t wait to buy all of the new Mastodon clients. I’ve long used Twitterrific, and I hope it comes to Mastodon in some form, but I’ll definitely buy a bunch of them to give them a proper kick of the tyres and to say thanks to the developers for taking the risk on this platform.

@alexmace no, we have multiple energy companies now. But we have a dysfunctional government that has severely hindered the rollout of the energy bill support.

@alexmace the system for giving assistance with energy bills this winter was a bit messed up in Northern Ireland!

@alexmace we have one in our new-build home and had no choice in the matter. We were just told by the builder “we have to put these on, and you will need to ask the electricity provider to change it”.

And now we’re about to get credit vouchers for it from the government (£600) so we’re locked into the pre-pay system until we use them (or lose them!)

@marcoarment finally Mastodon’s true purpose is revealed: Apple developers can talk about attributes without mentioning some poor soul that has had an attribute name as a Twitter handle for years

@stuartgibson I demand to know who declared you to be Optional. I consider you Essential!

Does it crash? #mammoth
