Interesting take. I would have gone for "A known enemy of Putin suddenly dies in a plane crash over Russian airspace."

They finally worked out how to exit this realm?

There's an open source equivalent at https://codidact.com/

It has this already - see editions under the book. Some books have been added incorrectly as new books though.

• Bitwarden. Didn't take long to start supporting them as the price point is incredibly reasonable.
• Mastodon (monthly donation to instance admin)
• Some random Android apps which have a paid/plus version and a free one. I use my free Google credits to upgrade, so doesn't actually cost me anything but supports the developer. I tihnk the first I did this with was ACalendar.

Fittrackee is working towards it. https://github.com/SamR1/FitTrackee/issues/16

Something about weeing in a policeman's hat. There's another one about weeing behind a car as long as you have one hand on it.

Ooh, source: https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/from-urinating-in-a-policemans-hat-to-wearing-your-sandals-near-to-the-queen-this-country-has-a-host-of-bizarre-legal-offences-2442321 Most other places say that policeman's hat one is nonsense though.

And skirts. They are soooo comfy, but it's not socially acceptable to go outside in one.

Even mainstream clothes are better in the woman's section. I was in Peacocks (fairly small cheap clothes shop - you can see most of what they've got by standing near the centre) and you can just tell where the men's clothes are by the sea of dull, boring shades with not a single thing showing any sign of colour at all, like the brightness is turned down to 1 on the telly. The style differences are minimal. Even the material is just awful scratchy fabric for the most part. Look over to the woman's section and it's a sea of colour, many more different styles (not that many, as I said, this is a small cheap shop), and if you touch anything it's instantly noticeable that the material is much better quality, softer. I don't get woman who wear men's clothes - why would you put yourself through that?

Did you pack this universe yourself?

I assume you're following from Mastodon? Unfortunately that's how Mastodon works with groups - you see boosts of every single comment on your feed.

You're better off with a Lemmy or Kbin account if you want to follow groups.

(and for the sake of clarity, this news account you're following isn't a bot - it's a group)

Actually this one's on Mastodon at @firstdogonthemoon@aus.social

PixelFed is your best bet if you're looking for an Instagram alternative.

I use this on all my Pis.

Most of the ones I created;

!teletext@fedia.io

!yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com

!dtt@feddit.uk

!dabradio@feddit.uk

!beds@feddit.uk

!chiptune@fedia.io

!lemmings@lemmings.world

All of these are largely just me posting! The last two do get occasional posts from others.

I agree it's better to use Lemmy and Mastodon separately. A tip: You can follow your Lemmy account from Mastodon and easily boost your own posts onto there, which might be a nice way to increase exposure of anything you post.

As an aside; Kbin allows you to boost posts. If you follow a Kbin user from Mastodon you'll see all their boosts (and regular posts, and replies). So, if you follow your own Kbin account from your Mastodon account you'll easily be able to transfer any posts you see to Mastodon - and then boost them to your Mastodon followers.

There's no API yet. Openreads is contemplating adding support.

See: https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/785

There are loads of other apps you can interact with too, check out fediverse.party

I use ACalendar+. There's a free and a paid version.

Fork in my left hand and knife in my right hand

That's the normal way for right-handed people! If there's no knife then fork goes in the right hand.

Backing up to a local server and then shunting off to B2 is largely what I do, except I just use a local file share and try not to store much locally. The Windows 10 built in backup works quite well for this. The file share I back up using Duplicati.

Somebody on here suggested Weawow, so I've been using that recently, along with BBC Weather and Openweather.

I was going to suggest yours!

If you want a tiny instance, the one I'm on is https://rabbitea.rs

You can follow communities from Mastodon with format @lemmings@lemmings.world (ie replace the exclamation mark with an @). It's a miserable experience though. It's better to follow communities using Lemmy or Kbin (I'm not sure if Calckey works better).

Checks out.

Pretty sure I've had "click all bicycles", with a bicycle drawing on the road.

(quietly notes that the original version was the Amiga one)

Kbin does odd things with links and communities, so I think part of the problem is it has mangled or added some unexpected links when you've written the post. However, some of your links in the original post work for me on Lemmy (!freegames@feddit.uk is fine), so you might want to compare them.

I'm not sure why Lemmy uses an exclamation mark for communities when everywhere else uses an @. It would be a lot easier if it used @ then it's universal for Kbin, Mastodon, Lemmy.

The new communities group suggests to use the format I've used in my previous posts (basically /c/community@instance) - this won't work on Kbin because it uses /m/. It's better to use @ there as you said.

Connect for Lemmy !lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

Submarine.

codenames.game - I think it supports the duel (2 player) version.

Lots of 2 player games on yucata.de too (and BGA which has already been mentioned)

Yes, they are fully interoperable - the power of ActivityPub!

Passing over mountains is the best!

Don't get me started on shorts. Modern shorts which go down to the knee - what's the point?!

That is running the official API - it just hasn't been approved/merged yet, so other instances don't have it.

I believe it's to do with hand cleanliness. When you enter, you push the door as your hands are dirty (maybe shove it with your arm or something), then when you leave your hands are (supposed to be) clean so you pull the door as it's a nice clean handle to grab.

I don't get it either, but that's what I've heard as the reason.

My electronics teacher explained some aspect of circuits using Lemmings as an analogy. I don't recall the exact details!

You can work it out yourself by looking at my instance name.

You missed the C16 version! It's nothing like the others, I added a couple of words here / !plus4@retrolemmy.com

!comicstrips@lemmy.world is probably the best webcomics one.
