Aah fuck it. Happiest he’s been all week. The bloody mouse can live under the freezer for all I care.

@pompomtom I suppose I should just say “he’s a mouser”.

“He’s a good mouser” used to mean fewer mice in the house. Now it means he goes outside, brings a mouse inside, releases it under some whitegoods, and seeks praise.

I do like Z Nation, but I can’t help but think of “Numerica” as some form of spreadsheet program.

OMG. At a pub trivia so small and cozy that I think people aren’t googlecheating.

I’m probably wrong, but if I’m not then this maybe the resurgence of civil society

Oh look: beer garden weather.

@pompomtom hmmm... maybe I should’ve brought the washing in first..

Smoker is now mains powered. I could really overdo this now.

First use of the barbie for the season.

This makes me happy.

The typography, figures, colors, and lack of editing in the UFO emoji proposal submitted to the Unicode Consortium is such an on-point caricature of UFO websites: unicode.org/L2/L2016/16206r-fl

Maybe it's some sort of elaborate joke?

With news of Unroll.me selling user inbox info to Uber, lots of people are repeating "if you're not paying for it, you're the product."

I've said before, and will continue to say, that that is the wrong formulation. Sometimes you pay for it and you're still the product – look at US ISPs. Sometimes you don't pay for it and you're not the product – free software.

The real question is whether a software or service empowers users, which can't be boiled down to whether you paid.

@zinyando There isn't an app that can do both natively (yet?) but it should be pretty straightforward to write something that watches for your new tweets and posts them to your Mastodon account using @glynn_bird's awesome npmjs.com/package/toot module. It'd be a bit trickier to go the other way because of the character limit.
