I was going to put Bedfordshire in brackets next to that, but I forgot. I knew it could cause confusion!

I think the rest of my communities haven’t seen activity lately, so I’ll have to post in them first!

They were good before (and please correct me if I’ve got this wrong) EB bought them and did a “reverse takeover”. Since that point they’ve been going downhill.

Shame there isn’t an ActivityPub/Fediverse option…

Maybe you’re looking for !folklore@mander.xyz

Why? Because they’re mine and they need more love.

Do you ever get that thing where the more you look at a word the more it looks wrong? I’m getting that with “would” and “could” after reading this thread.

Hmm, maybe it’s one per ear?!

Apparently this is the one thing which is controlled by a single gene, and works as you were taught in school with dominant and recessive traits.

Nothing else does, including the things you were taught like eye and hair colour - they are much more complicated.

Mastodon, Bookwyrm, Mbin, and I’m also on a test instance of Takahē (Mastodon compatible microblogging platform) which I quite like for the multiple personalities feature.

A Jellycat Dexter. So adorable but silly expensive for a cuddly thing (I was rewarding myself after having to go into hospital for an invasive test).

When I was growing up, if I wanted anything it was, “do you need it?”. This was drilled into me so much I feel a bit guilty for buying random things even though I can afford them, and I always think long and hard about purchases very rarely buying anything on impulse. Usually I see something and have to go back (weeks) later to buy it after it has been playing on my mind.

The BBC currently have a trial at social.bbc - recently extended, which is promising.

There’s also Linen.

A bit like the Channel Islands - they use British Pounds but if you try to use them on the mainland they’ll not be accepted. Other way round is fine.

No, it’s a cross platform standard. You can even run a server on Linux interfacing with SANE to convert older scanners.

I looked up the non-Apple name and it’s eSCL. That’s a lot easier to search for.

Yes, you can now use AirScan (also called something else I don’t recall currently) for “driverless” scanning.

I know you can change the images in Windows 95 so you could replace the proper one with this. I suspect the messages in Windows 10/11 are a bit more sophisticated though!

I’ve just noticed there’s a Fediverse “optic”, so you can restrict it to Fediverse sites.

Tbh I just saw it needed a login and scrolled back up to the link without reading further, so was obviously a bit hasty in my assessment of it being a paywall.

To save reading the paywalled article, the site is at https://stract.com

I’ve only done a single search but it gave me a summary at the top, and some discussion forums in a different format. I’m impressed so far!
