He’s mentioned this before, but I’ve never been able to find an actual PixelFed Group (it doesn’t appear to be the same thing as what they call Collections). I’ll have another look when pixelfed.social enables them this weekend (but I suspect parsing titles for the posts will be a nightmare).

Also, ‘smithereen’ is tagged but I’m not sure of its status (all I found was 1 private instance run by the dev, federated with 1 “explicitly-free-speech” Akkoma instance).

Clarkson has been trying to warn us for years, and we haven’t been listening. He punched a producer when his dinner wasn’t on time, to highlight the impending delays to food deliveries after Brexit. He left the BBC to work for Amazon, presenting a show that was a shadow of it’s former self, to illustrate how billionaires diminish everything they touch.

He couldn’t be clearer with his messaging, but the UK continues to ignore him.

I once did some office work for a tobacco company, where you were allowed to smoke at your desk. I don’t smoke, but I had a few ciggies when I was there, because you realise that you’ve never really pointed at anything, until you’ve pointed at it with a cig in your hand. It’s just a better way to point at stuff (I don’t make the rules).

PieFed’s repo is hosted by Codeberg - it’s the right thing to do in many ways, but occasionally it’s borderline unusable, and I get the sense that it misses out on potential contributors by not being on GitHub (projects there benefit from the network effect).

I’m guessing this post is meant to be a link to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqSztEQprgg

The microwave is a fundamental part of the Make Tea -> Forget About Tea -> Reheat Tea cycle.

Also, I have to put the bag in first, because otherwise I’ve no idea how much room I need to leave for it (which you’d think I’d be able to eyeball by now, but apparently not).

You don’t need to apologise. I wasn’t trying to give you a hard time (sorry if it seemed like that). The remote posts I linked to in my earlier comment have now gone (maybe I was being given a cached version before - that’s a possibility I often forget about).

How have you deleted them? They are still here and here and probably at friendica.world but that site seems bust.

There are better playgrounds if you want to mess around with Fediverse stuff.

Imgur can also handle videos with audio. The main restriction with them is that the MP4s have to be less than a minute.

I’ll embed one here, which may or may not work, depending on what you’re using (if it doesn’t embed, the post is here)

Oh, I see, thanks. I’ve not heard of this ‘reddit’ you speak of, but I know that Mastodon has that kind of thing. Neat!
