Hedges are a good investment because once it has matured a hedge provides food and shelter for many species of birds, animals and insects. There are government subsidies available for establishing and maintaining them. They also provide returns for people in the form of wood and in some cases edible fruit.

I think it’s because they are a setting where people are there for a separate purpose to meeting a partner, which allows for romance to be portrayed as spontaneous. Also, clothes (particularly underwear, pyjamas and towels) come into contact with the body and imply intimacy.

Cool, no more need for American military bases in our countries then. Or sharing intelligence with them. Or propping up their arms industry.

This is awesome news! Can’t wait to try it out in the morning!

Fuck yeah!

Pretty interesting after Robin Wright’s role in The Congress.

The world has been changing fast and I think the safest advice in terms of always having work is to learn something to do with bedrock infrastructure, like plumbing or welding.

Vatican City.

Thanks! Looks like a really interesting app as well.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Is that controlled by the operating system or something else? I’m curious about whether my Debian laptop does the same.

This is fantastic news.

Do you know if hugo blogs can federate?

Bitcoin is NOT based on thin air.

It’s based on wasting loads of electricity.

Either slices cut in half or diced and the peanuts whole, in separate dishes. A half mouthful of peanuts followed by a half mouthful of tomato. Never mix the two together before eating! I prefer to use a spoon.

Peachy. Sounds like there’s nothing to worry about then (from a user POV).

I’ve installed it from F-droid but still. Fuck google. They really do need breaking up.

I heavily rely on Syncthing. Does anyone know what the outlook is for Syncthing-fork, or what the likelihood is of someone taking on maintenance of this version?

Fresh tomato and dry roasted peanuts.

Actually I might try it on someone …

That sounds cool. I haven’t tried looking at it that way.

Man I think it’s already done, and been done for a long time, without AI. So much of who we are now is based on and informed by what we’ve read and watched online. It’s our been our dominant frame of reference, language and value system for quite a while. We are the AI.

While I agree that it makes Mastodon less entertaining I also think that it makes it a lot more fair, representative and trustworthy as a lens through which to observe & participate in social discourse and share information and opinions. That in itself will probably mean that it remains less popular but I think it’s also what makes it more valuable IMO. We need to calm down from the urgency of the digital dopamine cycle, for many reasons. If social media is a truly human media then it should be boring at times because that is a human reality that we are adapted to.
