  • Feddit.UK has finally kicked the bucket- and what happens next.

    Jump

  • Thanks for the update and for the work in building the new instance!

    I'll be keeping my eyes open for further news.

  • People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song?

    Jump

  • Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry. Apparently not originally intended as a Christmas song anyway.

  • Friday: Friendly? Freatening? Freaky? How's it going?

  • How much does your fridge smell? What are the biggest factors?

    Jump

  • With us, anything that is/would be smelly goes in some kind of container.

    Cleaning - I would say once every 3-4 months or so in normal circumstances. Quite possibly longer.

  • in a general sense, how would you feel about people having their pet dog(s) in the workplace?

    Jump

  • I am not a dog lover. I find them needy, melodramatic and hierarchical: some of the features that I try to avoid in humans.

    I work in an office around one day a week which often has more dogs than humans - since one of the regular staff has two dogs. In general, however, they aren't much of a problem. One frequently nudges people's elbows to get attention and howls whenever a phone rings. Another gets in the way of the door an awful lot - resulting in the owner installing a child gate at an inner doorway, and another has been traumatised in the past and needs to be taken out whenever a fire alarm test is due. However, this is not more that the needs and quirks of other people, really, and is fairly easy to work around.

    I am glad that I do not have to work in that office all the time, but overall it is not a big deal.

  • How many of you were using Digg during its prime?

    Jump

  • Slashdot -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy. I used to spend lot of time on TheEnvironmentSite.org some time before Slashdot, but I cant recall whether anything else came in between those two.

  • Happy Monday, whats the craic?

    Jump

  • Working from home today - or supposed to be. I finished a couple of Big Things at the end of last week and am really struggling to get stuck into any one of the dozen other things that are on my list now.

    I've deleted a lot of photos and sorted the recycling though. I'll be sharpening pencils soon...

  • Saturday Chatterday!

    Jump

  • I did get out and do a bat monitoring session last night - part of the national waterway survey in August each year - without getting wet. There were a few pipistrelles about and a couple of noctules and serotines passing by, but no Daubenton's which is what this particular survey is looking for.

    Today will be getting the chores out of the way then - if the rain shows any chance of dying down - out to an open air Shakespeare this evening. It will be 'Exit pursued by a very damp bear.' I expect.

    Tomorrow: third attempt to get these shelves up. It has been postponed twice so far.

  • Sounds blissful to me. I can't recall the last time I had a complete weekend reading.

  • They always say that you should stack up everything that you think you'll need and then put half of it back in the wardrobe. The problem is working out which half, of course.

    Hope it all goes well anyway and that you have a good time.

  • Greenpeace protesters drape giant oil-black fabric over Sunak’s mansion

    Jump

  • you also haven’t addressed my reasons for doubt.

    A) When did you ask me to?

    B) By pointing out the cost/benefit to both sides, I would have said that I did anyway.

    However, if you would like me to go into more detail: this is a property that was not occupied by the PM or his family - Greenpeace have stated that they were aware of this. The 'high security' was evidently provided by the police - who would also have been aware of this. Even at the best of times, given a little advance planning, avoiding a routine police cordon - routine being the key word - is not exactly difficult.

    I struggle to see why Greenpeace would take the route that you are suggesting (a literal conspiracy theory) and decide to take the risk of losing credibility instead of doing as they have frequently, attestably, through court records, done and evade the existing security.

    what 3rd party app did you use on Reddit before switching to lemmy

    Jump

  • Relay (Pro) when using my phone although most of the time I was using RES on a laptop.

  • Greenpeace protesters drape giant oil-black fabric over Sunak’s mansion

    Jump

  • You haven't addressed the critical point:

    What would be the consequences for both when the co-ordination was leaked/revealed?

    Both would stand to lose vastly more in credibility than ever they might gain.

    Whilst that might not matter to Sunak - a lost cause politically anyway, and clearly someone who values money highly - Greenpeace thrives on commitment to the cause.

    It certainly seems to me a highly implausible scenario.

  • Greenpeace protesters drape giant oil-black fabric over Sunak’s mansion

    Jump

  • So, you're suggesting that this was co-ordinated by Greenpeace and ...the Prime Minister? To keep up whose appearances exactly?

    What would both parties stand to gain from this?

    What would be the consequences for both when the co-ordination was leaked/revealed?

  • What's going on with the downvote button?

    Jump

  • You say that you found out that lemmy.world had disabled downvotes. Where did you you find that out? I'd certainly seen nothing myself here - I know that some instances have - and can certainly see and use the downvote arrows.

  • What's going on with the downvote button?

  • What are you Watching? (August 2023)

    Jump

  • I have seen them, but a while ago, whilst binging through all of the show to S11, which was airing at the time. I'd say, yes - go and watch them, but I don't recall them as particularly stand-out from the rest of the show.
