@nhr love the billboards.

@manton it is indeed - and went to check which version - only to find this:

Clearly my app status checker is not doing the job that I thought it was. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️❗️

Whilst there I updated and then set about replying including the upload above.

Only one image in the library. (I believe a ‘w00t’ is in order.)

The problem might well be solved.

Thank-you for the response.

@manton as in supporting Nazis ? That’s what they say - but from my pov I don’t see them in my feeds anywhere - not true on Twitter.

@lmika 🔗 OED - BUT spelt ‘Brekkie’ - not ‘Breaky’ - still - been around since 1904 (in the writing of Edith Nesbit) ,,, and as this was a conversation - how would they know how you were spelling it?

@manton His exit from Substack was loud with similar arguments re leaving, references them once here .. but no claim to be returning there … so clearly no important AI discussions there then.

To declare a need to follow a bunch of people on such a platform to do your job as a ‘journalist’ .. what a crock.

@lmika Sorry ‘Breaky’ is a long and fully established bona fide word in the English language.

@Miraz also interesting (and hadn’t actually clocked this befire) but that date was the actual return date for us to go back to the USA but around day 50 of our ‘100 day’ visit was when our channels moved into overdrive - and we changed the flights and decided to ‘hang here’ while it all blew over because neither US nor UK looked like good options.

I know … 6 years later … best laid plans.

@Miraz yes indeed where we were staying we were already in the wiping money stage and with Jax’s advance radar we left early from there after leaving Wellington earlier than planned and we drive north stopping at odd stores for supplies as we went and then somewhere a little north of Bombay Hills pulled off road by Police to prove we were going home.

@moldyringwald dare I say …

“very brave” 🤓

@lmika HAH!! beat me too it … it was just great - and my FOURTH international micro.blog meetup - more will follow.

@lmika sent. Auckland would have been good until about two weeks ago!

@lmika LMK next time you’re over. I am Wellington based myself for a while .. maybe an impromptu micro meetup?

@aure.ai I’m rewatching ted lasso i quote (roughly speaking) …

Keley- your password wasn’t ‘password’ was it?

Jamie- Yeah it was, sorry .. but I spelt it with TWO ‘S’s .. I thought that would confuse them

@ayjay Dallas and Austin will do that.

Advice … time to bite the bullet?

The thing I’d kill is automatic cross-posting to @fractals. That’s what’s creating the parallel universe where all your comments wander off and have a party without your blog.

And importantly, don’t delete @fractals. You presumably have followers there. Use it to boost the real @me posts instead, and gradually encourage people to follow @me directly.

@bobwertz but corporates don’t think that way - hell - they argue over increases of 1% !!

@bobwertz Yes and nobody ever properly answered IF they did that whether people’s income would actually remain the same:

if people are working 4 days, not 5, then they are working 20% less. To let them work less and not pay them less is the equivalent of companies giving each of those people a ~20% salary increase.

… from one of mine over 4 years ago.

@fractals adding to my ‘add 10 things to my list every time I knock one off’ list … why doesn’t this appear as a comment on my blog.

@heyloura thank you - it does explain the repetitions - like🖇️ here - so maybe I can just simplify and remove the web mentions block … @manton ?

next thought - trying to ensure that replies to posts on my syndicated spaces - primarily threads (no breath held) blusky (i think is working) and mastodon (need to. look closer) - more a note and exercise for me.
