That sounds fantastic! I love the idea of progressively decorating, sounds much less daunting

I’ve really enjoyed getting to know more about Krampus over the last few years

Are you in a Nordic country? Sounds nice!

I’m atheist too but spend most of December in cold churches. I like the ritual of it even if I don’t actually believe

It depends on where they’re from though. Outside of America we don’t have such a reliance on tipping

Cat mode?

I think there’s a time and a place for algorithmic feeds. When it comes to Facebook i personally think it makes sense to have a way of filtering the important things first, based on who you interact with. It’s a social network in the definitive sense; we care about some people more than others depending on where in the network they are. However we’ve seen how things go when Facebook use it with pages/news stories (which is really concerning).

For things like Twitter, I want chronological. It’s a real time platform based on sharing information across a larger audience. Its use in breaking news makes timing important. It’s largely gone to shit now because Musk, but in its heyday anyway.

Ideally there should always be a choice, or at least some transparency around how the algorithms work. That way everyone can choose what works for them based on how they use the platform.

Wow things have moved on a lot since I had a blog on Blogspot by the sounds of it!

While people have made some interesting comments on the downsides of megathreads, I’m glad we have a way of containing the Musk stuff. It gets a bit much.

To people who do have concerns though, if you’re tech minded maybe look at contributing to a way of improving the functionality of Lemmy. It’s in our gift to improve this place so if we can do something about it then we should, rather than passively complain when things aren’t how we want them to be.

You know you’re commenting on it now though right?

I don’t know why Musk just didn’t do it this way instead, rather than wrecking a globally recognised brand.

I would love to forage but the risk of eating something poisonous definitely puts me off doing it

Goat is lush! Curried goat is lovely in particular, it’s slow cooked so it melts in the mouth almost. It’s like lamb but better imo.

This will have an impact on journalists who use Twitter to get tips for reporting. Seen some who were concerned this would happen

Likewise. They may not work for everyone but it can have a huge impact for those who do

The users are having a ‘Crab day’ where everyone gives each other crabs to try and help boost the finances. Will be interesting to see if it has an impact

Yeah I think the general aim of these things is to increase the diversity of STEM, which has tended to be male dominated. I imagine that’s what the funding for these schemes is allocated for. Not being mansplained by some guys is probably a bonus

That’s a Scottish word really. I know it’s in the UK obviously but it feels distinctly Scottish. Sounds best with a Scottish accent

More folk than you’d think! We had an influx of Reddit folk recently (wasn’t expecting them to be embraced as much as they have been, nice to see)

The main thing I was concerned about is then getting rid of the reverse chronological sorting and they’ve backtracked on that, so hopefully it won’t be completely awful. It did just seem like a weird business memo that the staff were told to put on Tumblr rather than anything user-friendly. Just sounded way too corporate.

I actually like OneNote for work purposes. Everything is Microsoft so it works well for what I need it to do. Not sure I would use it outside that context though.
