Finally watched my first #EurovisionSongContest. I waited far too long to do so, it was nothing short of a blast.
One of the many reasons I unapologetically refuse to use #Facebook or anything owned by that company, even "just for that one thing".
I've seen how cigarettes work - it's never just one.
EDIT: The survey has expired now - thank you to anyone who filled it in.
Just filled in the BBC consultation form regarding its next charter. It's due to be done by today. I'm sorry for not sharing it sooner (estimated time to complete: 20-40 minutes).
I thought Artemis II was going here - where's the chart entry?

@dansup@mastodon.social I'm not convinced that an ethical version of #TikTok is possible - the entire premise is loss of time and cognitive function to a mini-parade of utterly inane rubbish.

I then asked it a question in #Finnish (again, with Google Translate's assistance) and the chatbot answered - in Finnish.
I guess Scottish Gaelic is not so important to them after all. They do have a proper manifesto as well but skim-reading it is enough to ascertain the absolute contempt under which they view Scotland.

I knew I was as alone as Calvin Harris on this one. I've had a couple of goes at Parseword as well - it's pretty decent, though I'm often flummoxed by it due to my lack of cryptic crossword experience.

@zerodogg Use of the "royal we" is always something to watch for.

@martijnbraam Hopefully DST is binned first. Cannot happen a day too soon.

@codepo8 How about let's not use AI, at least the generative kind?

@ScottishGreens Do the Greens have a plan to deal with passengers vaping on the bus, and enforcement of rules against this?
AboutSignal? More like about bloody time, especially as it advertises itself as "open-source".
A (user-generated) comment on an article by The Independent about Christine Dawood and the tragic and horrific loss of her close family. I can't even begin to imagine what she's been through and I respect how much it must have taken for her to speak out about it at all.
I am also absolutely beyond disgusted that the deaths of the people on Titan were ever celebrated. If you think that the screencapped comment is any way to respond to a grieving widow, unfollow me right now.
I am somewhat confused by these options.
(and yes, I checked the information icons, the information behind them is identical as well)
I don't think #SatoshiNakamoto's identity matters that much, especially today - #Bitcoin is a rudimentary early #cryptocurrency that has become depleted and extremely energy-intensive, though it was undoubtedly a hugely significant step in the field in its day.
Things have moved on and there are plenty cryptocurrencies which address these issues, many developed by known individuals, which Satoshi, whoever they are, has as much control over as I do.
Reminder to fiddle with your clocks for tomorrow if you're in the UK or EU.
Hopefully soon we can get #DSTExit done and end the uncertainty over when the alarm goes off - I have work tomorrow so this is rather important.
After learning that #VaticanCity is an #EBU member, I thought of this song.
It's not every day I hear a new (to me) song featuring bagpipes. I still remember when I first heard the solo from "You're the Voice" on the radio.

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party I now understand why the people who don't like him feel that way. What a senseless waste of everyone's time. I'm quite sure that if I drew No Love Deep Web all over public buildings, no less a court of law, the authorities would quite rightly have some questions for me.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange I've heard decent things about that show.

@cmconseils@mastodon.social The addictive and mentally corrosive nature of most social media platforms deserve the lion's share of the blame here - wasn't the head of the company making "those pesky iPhones" pictured with Donald Trump at his inauguration?

@williampietri@sfba.social Having choices besides #Visa and #Mastercard for online payments sometimes is nice. Plus #Ethereum has massively reduced its energy usage in recent years.
