Found it whilst visiting Exmoor earlier in the year. Liked "the general" quite a bit. Both of us which is slightly unusual.

Quite enjoyed this - mashup of some of the in game themes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R-U...

In which I waffle about men's mental health for international men's day.

So uh. What's the business model for Bluesky? I mean, in the early days of Twitter it was externally funded, and the enshittification began when it was monetized.
I'm more happy to pay for an account somewhere that hasn't happened yet, but I don't know if enough would.

Can I recommend mynoise.net as a way to get audio soundscapes/ambient noise?

I'm honestly finding it really good for focus/avoiding distraction. A soundscape that's evocative and matches the ambient works really well. (Warm sunny days, sea noise, colder gloomy days rain noise, etc.)

Had annual review yesterday. Was apprehensive about it - despite probably not having any real reason. But it went ok, and I'm still appreciated.

So, given someone got 5 years for a zoom call to plan a disruptive protest, does anyone think this will be applied to the people disrupting central london with tractors?

I think the person who came up with 'dipshit' and 'weird' has been amazing - more than anything else they've "stuck" and really done a huge amount more damage than the actual truth.

(And yes I know who that was. I just think it was inspired)

Hello everyone.

I would just like to inform you that 2025 is in 2 months time.

... I know, I was shocked too.
