Persisting the high score can sometimes make the game less satisfying, as that all-time best looms over every attempt, rather than getting more congrats for improving during session
It depends on how quick-fire the game is, how invested in each attempt, what kind of sharing impulse, etc

There's also a new feature this election: "Camera at every count" which you can see here if you're able to access iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m002177v/watch-your-count-live

The tech behind it is really interesting, essentially it uses a system developed to take advantage of how good mobile phones & networks are these days. We have a live stream from every one of the 385 election counts in the UK & there's an internal representation of them as a mosaic of mosaics.

I wish I could share it but I can't. Sorry.

Watch as votes are counted across the UK at over 370 locations

Good news folks - The King has confirmed that 1st Jan 2025 will be a Bank Holiday.

It wasn't included in the 1971 list of Bank Holidays so has to be authorised each year - otherwise you'd all have to be back at work, with a hangover.

I had given up on pleading for more alt-text but I'll try again!

Please add alt-text to your photos/pictures it only takes a minute and does not have to be fancy. My policy is not to boost images without alt-text and I am not the only one.

This is one of the cultural things I like about Mastodon, the inclusiveness. Please don't ruin it.

(Edit) was sent a guide for alt-text

The 11th annual international Gender Census 2024 is now open until at least 13th June 2024!

https://survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

We are seeking a typographically-sensitive web designer with HubSpot experience to help us integrate our basic email newsletter design into their drag-and-drop templating system.

Implementing our brand fonts (rather than their ancient websafe fonts palette) is key, as many of our subscribers use email clients that support webfonts.
