Last year I started writing down my bucket list. This year I realised that you have to actually *do* some. Most of mine involve travel, so I guess I'd better crack on with some of the few that don't.

"Hey Siri, show me why Twitter is awful and I should just delete my account"

Has anyone EVER remembered to enable SSH first time when setting up a new Raspberry Pi?

Apple’s automatic album creation at its finest

The joy of checking your work calendar and seeing that you’ve been triple booked since yesterday.

During the pandemic, getting prescriptions in the post would be very handy. What I want to know is: would that make life/business harder or easier for my local pharmacy?

@celesteh @yaxu hey, I'm 44 and...

oh.

@yaxu I like the way it gives you 20 minutes warning.

@bjwebb welcome to the server! Great to see you here, I don’t think we’ve met but we probably know many of the same people in the open data space :)

@yaxu because that’s always scheduled for tomorrow

One lovely thing about the Fediverse is that for me running this server, there is no driver for growth. I don't have to accept all the signups because I'm chasing numbers for some VC. In fact, smaller is better :)

@hamishcampbell absolutely. Someone will take the dross, but I'm under no obligation to have them here, or federate with them.

Had an account application for mastodon.me.uk today that said in their "why are you here" message that they’d left Twitter because it was too left wing and there was no free speech.

Couldn't hit reject fast enough. If you feel restricted by Twitter's TOS, then you certainly aren't gonna be welcomed on this server. Jog on.

Yes, it's a personal judgement. No, I don't care.

@andrewt @humanetech ooh, this is really nice. Great work!
