But how will I get an "ooh"?!

I mean, we should be able to interact with mastodon via fedipub, right?

If we had a separate server, it might be messy, as then there are two sets of accounts.

I'd say the conservatives do a pretty bang up job treating disabled people badly.

https://www.timeline.tv/ might be suitable.

It's more on the technical side, but could suit you.

You don't understand though, by being visionaries who disregard accepted margins of safety, they lowered the cost per (attempted) launch by almost 3%!

I'll keep an eye on the feddit.uk applications for grauniad@theguardian.com in that case!

And the SM57 for things you don't need a screen on.

How many pictures of my arse does the instance need to keep the zuckerbots away?

Too many places treat CCAS as plan A, but it does make sense doing it in the background as a plan B.

It does worry me though, that everyone is just going to go "eh, we'll just capture it in 20 years".

With a bit of luck, native RTC support means 2-way comms using reolink doorbells is close at hand.

A discussion on the other site claimed that the fuck-up was in the copy that Universal sent to Mattel.
And that wrong websites frequently end up on packaging in other industries.

Mattel seem to be doing the sorry-dance for it, so no idea if it's true. Though I'm sure Universal would be very keen to not be involved.

 

Anybody else on here on the 3D train?

Having recently finished setting up the projector (bin rescue), screen (£20, gumtree), and working out the glasses required (£20, eBay), I finally got my first taste of home shutterglass 3D.

We watched Pirates!, as I happened to have the disc in 3D already.
3D lends itself well to Aardman's models and physical sets.
I like 3D best when it's like looking through a window, or onto a stage.

It also turned out that my steelbook of The Hobbit contained the 3D copy too.
We're only 30 mins through it, but there are some nice shots (I particularly liked the one of Bilbo watching Gandalf through the window)

I checked with CEX, and 3D discs are now mostly quite reasonably priced. So we went and bought about 70% of the local branch's stock, for the princely sum of £20.*

While yes, it is a novelty, and a bit of a gimmick at times...It's fun.
And gives me a bonus inexpensive collectable hobby!

*(Pro-tip: If you're going to do similar, go when it's not busy, and apologise to them in advance. The 3D discs are all mixed in with the standard ones, and the poor guys spent about 20 minutes hunting)

 
 

Someone looted Lush.
