Logging on to Mastodon… I think I will read six hundred posts today. Perhaps I shall even indulge myself and read six hundred and one
I made you all different colors, genders, and sexual orientations to spice things up. Diversity is key, my dudes.

I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.

The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.

If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.

The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.

Charles III has a servant who runs his bath; servants who pick up his clothes from the floor, and who iron his pyjamas every night.

He has chefs who make him seven boiled eggs every morning, boiled for various lengths of time, so that at least one egg will always be exactly to his liking.

His servants take along his own toilet seat when he travels.

He can manage without my oath of allegiance, that’s for sure. 😑

#Coronation

Who was worst in #thearchers this week?
This week we got rid of the Lower Loxley painting, got £100 from lonely Den (age 50), Lynda was revealed as the Ambridge Fairy, Eurovision got sorted, Ian cheated on the sign-up and is a Gordon Ramsey in the kitchen (but was conspicuously absent from the dinner table and cast list), Justin was a sucker for red lippy and Chenin Blanc, Alice got upset and rang some bells, Beef Wellington got microwaved. Very illuminating.

King Chazzer rules. @thearchers

"Nobody cares about social media decentralization".

That sentence isn't new to me.

You know what? People have been telling me that for five years.

And for most of the time, they were right.

But I've been beating that drum non-stop, and haven't let up.

Now 16,656 follow me on Mastodon because they care enough about social media decentralization.

I'm not going to stop talking about it until the entire Internet cares about social media decentralization!

“No 10 attempted to keep the vast majority of the journalists at the conference from seeing the Prime Minister. But they underestimated the hard-headedness of the Scottish press.”

#Sunak apparently doesn’t like answering questions about Tory #cronyism

I have taken the constructive element of their criticism on board however, and have added a warning thing to my toot about that interview. Being fairly new to this platform, I’d forgotten I could do that. It’s a shame the suggestion wasn’t made directly to me, but there we go.
