It's unlikely she would have given consent for this photo to be online

Not if Meta is managing it. I don't particularly trust them with my data so I'm not going out of my way to give it to them

Great news, this is exactly what Oxford Street needs if it wants to keep it a decent shopping destination. Last time I went I saw way too many closed shops and dodgy American sweetshops

Not on your instance but it's so good to see unequivocal inclusion and support for the trans community. There should be no room for bigotry of any kind.

The act of needing to apply for it will disenfranchise people. You won't be able to just pop in and do it on the way back from one of your jobs if you didn't have time to apply in the first place. If you have caring responsibilities and/or multiple jobs it's something that is easily forgotten about due to a lack of time.

Not hugely in favour of ID cards but if we all had them automatically it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

One of the great things about this instance is that I don't think I've seen anyone complain about the setup in a way that reflects on you guys. There's a lot of understanding that it's early days and it's grown exponentially in the last few weeks. I think the mentality of this instance is what keeps and will keep people here. It's a nice space to be in.

So don't worry, you guys are doing a great job!

Rimworld- I can and have lost hours managing my little space colony. You can make it as action oriented as you want, so if I want to focus on building my base and farming then I can switch off the raids for example.

I also love Two Point Hospital - so relaxing as there's no firm end point to levels, you can keep going if you want.

Looks great! Any plans for 'dark mode'? I would probably use that if so

I've built up a community of folk on there, not all of whom have moved to Mastodon. They're the only people keeping me on there to be honest. I crosspost between the two for the time being

Could be due to the version of the instance you're on. Beehaw is on an older version and Jerboa crashes when you open it as Jerboa is on the latest version.

Thanks for setting up this instance! I really like the fediverse model, just wish I understood how it worked better.

I've barely stopped all day as it's monthly reporting time but this is the first time I've managed to produce the 4 different reports in time on my own, so I'm calling that a win. Going to see Sigur Ros on Friday so that will be my treat for not having a breakdown

Hi, another Reddit traveller here. I'm a 30 something Brit who analyses data for a living, with a love of choral singing, reading and gaming. Loving Two Point Hospital and Rimworld- on the PC and Skyrim on the PS4 at the moment (but my PS4 died so trying to get the courage to take the plunge and get a ps5). I love live comedy and go to Edinburgh every year.

Didn't think we'd be getting to the drama quite so soon!

I'm in the south west and I say it like 'cone' with an s at the start. I view the other way as being posh, but oddly enough it's the other way around for people in other parts of the country.

One of the things I love about the UK is the diversity in terms of accents, it's so rich

I posted a couple of comments in one of the chat threads and they don't seem to have appeared. Wonder if that's a Jerboa thing

At least nobody has asked which order to put the jam and cream on, there'd be carnage

I don't see myself going back, at least when it comes to the app. I like the way RIF looks and would want it to stay looking like that, but I don't think Reddit wants that style as they're trying to make it more social media focused. I will likely still use it on the desktop but I don't spend a lot of time on my desktop outside of work and gaming so wouldn't be that often. I'm likely going to delete most of my comments on there soon

Glad you're feeling better! Being ill in the heat is horrendous, glad you can enjoy yourself a bit

Gilmore Girls or Taskmaster in terms of TV shows, but Buffy, Stargate SG-1 and QI are in the mix as well.

Filmwise I would say Clueless.
