Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

    Even “young person” is stretching the definition of “young” 😂

    But, yes, I grew up with metric, and I don’t particularly remember learning anything about imperial measurements in school. Other than things like miles and mph (and why do we still measure fuel efficiency in mpg, when fuel hasn’t been sold by the gallon for years?), which as a driver I’m obliged to use, I’m fully metric.









  • I’ve never had a fake from Amazon but I don’t fully trust them for the reason you state (all the stock which is apparently the same gets mixed up). Argos only have their own stock, I’d be very surprised if you got a fake from there.

    I’ve not bought a Kingston in years*, apparently they use spare capacity on other manufacturer’s lines so you don’t know exactly what you’re getting (this is not to say they are bad, but the quality can vary considerably).

    • I had some experiences with them corrupting when being used in a Pi, I changed a number of things - one being the card brand - and haven’t had any issues since. The Pi is will known for being rough on SD cards so if it’s going into a phone you are unlikely to have problems of this nature anyway.


  • I’ve only just seen this.

    Thank you for running this instance! Until it got blocked from the UK (I understand the reasons but it made it difficult to tell whether it was up or down, and is also the reason I’ve only just seen this post) it was my favourite place to host general communities.

    Unless there’s any update on this I will begin to migrate my communities elsewhere (probably db0).
















  • They got through the semis, which I was surprised about. The song was better than some in that batch, but my favourite (Estonia) failed to make it through.

    I keep seeing reports that they might boot Israel into Eurovision Asia. I have mixed feelings about that. Whilst they are technically off the European continent, they are more European than the list of countries competing in the first Eurovision Asia, and I’m not sure the participants of that will be keen on them either. You also then have to kick out or justify the inclusion of Azerbaijan etc, who have (as far as I know) done no wrong.

    Hopefully they won’t win. If they do I suspect they won’t be allowed to host due to ongoing war. Will anyone want to host for them if that happens? Maybe the EBU will conveniently find evidence of vote manipulation and nullify the win (if they do, hopefully for everybody’s sake they will find it before they announce the results) - they’ve already given them a formal warning about this. As you say; fucking nightmare.
