We really do need a better way to deal with waste materials
Why is UK recycling being dumped by Turkish roadsides?

How we got to a point where the 5th richest country in the world can't invest properly in waste management is beyond me, there are small companies here, that can take old plastic and turn it in to something useful,. e.g kayaks. Why can#t we put millions in to expanding these.
I have a pencil case made from old tyres. we have to start to think differently.

It will take a number of years, but #microsoft will 'kill' #github like it killed Nokia, Skype, LinkedIn, Mixer and countless other things. "Anything they touch..."
Don't plan for contingencies. #deletegithub now.

Mastodon - Extra Uses for Delete/Redraft ?
.
Mastodon's Delete/Redraft is a nice and simple tool that can be used for various reasons.
.
The simplest is when you realize there's some small typo, or the wrong image was attached to a post. With Delete/Redraft, a quick fix is possible without having to re-enter the text, or to copy it to Clipboard, before using a Delete, then a full new post (or new reply to whichever post it related to, if that was the case).
I find this to be one of the RARE cases when Mastodon offers me more functionality than my Pleroma account -- where Delete/Redraft is NOT available (more on this later in the article).
So let's see how we can use this feature in more elaborate ways? Some more Advanced Use Cases for this nice tool.

Pickles, done. Kimchi, done. Prepping cloth for kefir.
The only small positive thing to come out of the pandemic is how much more fermenting I do.

Just want to give a shout-out to Audacity, which as far as I'm concerned is the open source creative tool that actually achieves the promise of open source creative tools. It gets significantly better every release and releases every few months, and the UI gets better and better (the key thing most open source tools don't achieve). If you tried Audacity a few years ago or more and decided it was unstable or clunky to use, download the latest version. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Just found this on Twitter

People who say #ArrestBillGates often don't know he was already arrested (sources say several times). As for #ExposeBillGates he was already exposed for many years, but he bribes the media to keep most people in the dark.
