Man, it sucks that it seems like every time I get annual leave away from work I also get sick 🤒 I am on day four of feeling very crook and have now gotten out of bed with the assistance of a lot of medication 🤧
Heard someone complaining about almost being hit by an #electric #car because they didn’t hear it coming. Didn’t know being silent made you invisible, going to keep that factoid in the ‘ol memory banks.

Latest comic: What did we learn from Covid?

Upsides of Facebook: all of my friends and family posts their updates there.

Downsides of Facebook: SO. DAMN. MANY. Literally only shows adverts and algorithm trash.

One of the things that I’m hoping for the most in #iOS18 is the introduction of scam call screening on #iPhone similar to Google #pixel call screening feature.

I’m at the point where I don’t want to answer any unknown numbers because they’re typically scams.

Pretty toasty outside today! ☀️🔥
I also have PC parts coming today that were being delivered to my workplace. I know the courier really well and he’s a chill guy so I messaged him and they’re now being delivered to my house 🥳 so keen for the upgrade.

Took an annual leave day because I haven’t been feeling well but woke up feeling proper sick today. Fun fact, with a sick certificate I can flip annual leave to sick leave and that’s what I’ve done today.

Hopefully I’m feeling better by Christmas Day. I’m planning to meet up with family and hopefully not spreading bugs around 🦠

Damn!

@peertube with no hesitation dropped a truth bomb today...

"The realization that led us to develop PeerTube is that no one can rival YouTube or Twitch. You would need Google’s money, Amazon servers’ farms... Above all, you would need the greed to exploit millions of creators and videomakers, groom them into formatting their content to your needs, and feed them the crumbs of the wealth you gain by farming their audience into data livestock."

While I’m still interested in eventually starting my own #Peertube instance I’m wondering if there are any decent Australian or Gaming Peertube instances that I should check out?
