Sweary and opinionated. It's best not to take it personally. Also hilarious but that might be less obvious.

@pmpotts @davidallengreen when I first joined the server I chose never responded. I gave e up and switched to something less mainstream (that turns out to be a good match for me). I think any lack of action at the moment is likely to be down to overloading
@trinsec ah yes, I was surprised by his physique. Deffo doesn't look like he needs to work too hard for his next meal!
@trinsec ah that's interesting. I haven't seen a trailer yet so don't really know what it looks like. I'm not sure I understand "overdone" in this context though. Do you mean busy? Or... ?
How did I not know The Amazing Maurice was being animated? And what a cast. Happy Christmas to me! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10473036/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk #pratchett #movies
Two more days of my current role then I switch to something with a later morning alarm. Oh sure, the job content will change dramatically too but it's the alarm time change I'm focussing on right now. *yawn*

@lucifargundam You'll fit right in. As will @freemo Please, both let me know when you're going so I can get tickets!
@freemo if you value your life and sanity do not ever visit Ireland.

Rishi Sunak's spokesman tells me that the Prime Minister has a "zero-tolerance" approach to bullying, but is then unable to explain why he decided to appoint Gavin Williamson, despite being aware of bullying allegations against him.

I don’t think all the people who are saying “if you don’t want to be a nurse then leave” realise that’s exactly what’s happening. 40,000 nurses left the workforce last year - who’s going to replace them if we don’t improve pay and working conditions?

@SteveZissou I feel like I've made a pretty good choice. The first one didn't confirm properly so I looked again and chose based on what seemed like a good match rather than just convenient.
@ezachtamundo I don't recognise a single one of those bottles but what the heck, I'd give it a go.
@BlokeOnWheels Is that a real football? It looks like something from the beach shop!
@iowrunner @IdahoLark there has to be a lot of overloading going on right now!
@iowrunner @IdahoLark I lied but what I really meant was I hadn't used my phone network. So I've turned off WiFi and attached another photo.
*picture shows Fishing boats moored in the harbour.
@iowrunner @IdahoLark aha! I haven't tried from my phone yet. Next :)
@briannawu has he got any staff left that can do that for him?
@iowrunner @IdahoLark random picture attachment as test
I've used attach file function.
@davidallengreen I didn't feel a need to be asked about individual issues because I had a much higher trust level in the people making the choices and believed in the idea of an elected representative speaking for me. Both heady stuff and hopelessly naive at the same time

I think one thing that bothers me a lot with anything tech related is that while, yes, a lot of things can definitely have improved UX that is more user friendly, a lot of other things already have great UX that has been polished for years but gets a lot of undeserved criticism simply for being different from the status quo and/or requiring even the smallest amount of learning or effort
and I honestly entirely blame corporations that over the last 20 years have done everything to create walled gardens with the promise of "we do everything for you, if you have to think while using a computer that means it's bad"
and it's terrifying how well that worked on so so so many people
sometimes things just require you to sit down for half an hour, read something, learn something, try something you're not used to. that's normal. that is simply how anything even remotely advanced has worked for the thousands of years. you don't pick up an electric drill and throw a tantrum because it doesn't work exactly like a screwdriver. computers are a tool that let you do things, and just like any other tool, may require putting at least the smallest amount of effort into learning something
it's honestly frustrating how normalized "nuh uh i got adopted by [corporation's walled garden] and this is where i live for the rest of my life. anything even slightly different is just bad. why would I ever consider anything else, that's effort and effort is bad" has become
I understand that habits can be very strong, and I get it, adjusting to new things takes time, but it's not the end of the world. "more complex" doesn't necessarily mean "worse", it just means you would need to learn and adjust. teaching math at school doesn't stop at pre-algebra, it goes all the way to trigonometry and calculus because there's a good reason for it to be more complicated than the basics. learn something new, it's good for you.
