@aral it's part relationship building as well as running user tests in situ with our support colleagues, were building the in-company app for them.

Yeah, you can do it remotely but it's not quite as good, and I guess I'm going to enjoy the jolly. But yeah the flight safety doesn't feel super great.

@aral I'm due over for a work week next week 😣

Just realised that on Mastodon, boosting *is* the algorithm.

There's no code trying to cleverly show me stuff it reckons I'd be into, based on what my contacts are into, instead my contacts are saying "I like this, I bet my contacts would like it too" and that is way smarter than any algorithm.

Thank you, boosters!

This pepper has now been immortalised by @andycarolan as an emoji that I've also had printed as little stickers :happy_pepper:

@aral hey, I like debating the minutiae of CSS syntax!

@aral @Tooden it felt like it was inviting the response that they both looked like men - and then the punchline was no, they're both misogynists. Bit of a bait and switch.

I didn't think that was how you meant it, but that's how it came across to me.

@aral @Tooden now I've seen this, I get the point you're making but even without this clarification, the OP comes off as both misogynistic and transphobic.

Dislike them both. But the joke isn't cool.

@aral @EU_Commission lots of German news and other websites do the "pay or consent" bit too, I haaaaate it

@aral

@aral That's super weird! They posted it to TikTok too. Also... Mysteries. 🤦

Maybe some weird quirk happened because you're named after two seas?

@aral Lots of people use Bridgy for webmentions to get comments from Mastodon or other places under their articles - the discussion about that being murky privacy-wise is definitely underway.

Want to know why Germany is protesting?

"The scenarios sketched out in this hotel room in Potsdam all essentially boil down to one thing: people in Germany should be forcibly extradited if they have the wrong skin colour, the wrong parents, or aren’t sufficiently “assimilated” into German culture according to the standards of people like Sellner. Even if they have German citizenship."

@aral @thomasfuchs it's available in Germany, though not as standard and not for free. A place in my city says it'll have the new vaccine at the end of September, and it'll cost 40€ a shot

@robb yaaaaaa congratulations!

When do we get to see pics of you all scrubbed up?

@aral hah that's painfully cool. I wish I wasn't so hung up on using a UK ISO layout sometimes... Though it's a useful filter to stop me spending all the money

Good morning to all you fellow gorgeous and handsome people out there <3

(Pppsssttt, that's all of you.)
(If you prefer a different compliment that's cool, but these are the only ones I've got in mug form.)
(Unless you're the current World's Greatest 18 Year Old, I have a near-22 year-old mug for that!)
