Brexit 

"Why is the UK struggling more than any other big country?"

Well, I suppose it could be that we've been more affected by the war in Ukraine or the #covid19 pandemic than other big countries, but I wonder, were there any other big countries that recently cut themselves off from their nearest trading partners?

I would dearly love to host my own :mastodon: instance for my own use, but for two reasons:
1. while I like programming in Ruby, I hate looking after web applications written in it; and
2. I’ve already met me, and I don’t fancy administrating myself, knowing what an argumentative shit I can be.

"Good lord, that bird’s speaking a mixture of French and English!"

"You mean that pigeon?"

"Well, technically it’s a creole, but it’s still impressive."

@xtaldave And a window either side of that. And the Slimelight on occasion.

@xtaldave I probably spilled a drink on your shoes without realising it.

Having been here since 2016, I can tell you there is definitely no such thing as a consensus on usage of content warnings on the fediverse. It's a decentralized network that doesn't belong to any one party, so by definition there is no single culture on it. Different corners have different expectations and customs.

@trinsec *Always* with the “more snacks, pls!”

Just boosting that Arkanoid II music reminding me I have all the levels from the first 2 games and one of the later games loading in a #SpectrumNext project with all new SpectNext graphics. I did them a while back. Expect a bunch of projects to be reactivated when my Next arrives, errrm, next year :) Just a few of the baddy sprites missing and the engine to pop in.
