@stevewfolds That looks good!
@manton I’ve not yet found a serious use for Freeform. It’s a great idea in principle, but I just don’t use it. Is it very popular I wonder? I don’t use Journal as I’ve been a Day One user for some years now.
@bkryer When my parents discovered I was smoking as a teen, at one point my mother offered me a cigarette and said, “Don’t tell your Dad’, and my Dad offered me a cigarette a short while later, telling me not to tell my mother. This was fifty years ago.
@manton In the UK, one can smoke outside restaurants, bars, pubs, and so on, but not inside.
@manton I keep a journal. I sometimes use AI to add a little varnish to my words, but I write the original words to start with. So for me, in that use case, AI is an extra, not the foundation.
@manton Time Zones are weird though. I’m in the UK, and much of Spain is actually west of the UK, yet western Europe is an hour ahead. Portugal has the same time zone as UK though.
@robertbreen I have an M4 pro Mac mini and an M3 macBook air. I am use my M1 iPad Pro a lot though
@manton There’s a chain of pubs in the UK called Wetherspoons. Over 800 across the UK and Ireland. There is a Facebook group just for discussion and photos of the carpets in each of these establishments.
@manton The folks I don’t understand are those that seem to be grumpy about everything all the time. Always negative, never positive.
@news Indeed. I did initially purchase a domain through micro.blog, but over the past weekend I set up one that I already owned.
@missbluesky.bsky.social Let’s be honest. Farage and his limited (intelligence) company haven’t really got a clue have they? They shout loudest for whoever is paying them the most this week.
@manton On the other side of the coin, how about those people that we are good friends with for some time, and then, for one reason or another you drift apart, and never see them again, and wonder what they’re doing now.
@eastangliabylines.co.uk My primary school was only 5 minutes walk from home. At High School, I had a twenty-minute walk - there was no bus that went from home to school, and there wouldn’t have been money for bus fares every day either - no free rides for kids then.
@manton I regularly use the coffee shop next to my workplace. They know my order. I was off work for a few weeks following an operation and when I went back to work and into the coffee shop, I was told I had been missed. That’s kinda nice too, because in our busy fast world, that doesn’t often happen.
@dytsras.bsky.social Bringing it on, Rosetta!
@cjayanetti.bsky.social Thing is, it’s difficult to find an ACTUAL factually accurate news site, these days.
@manton I’ve been disappointed to find some apps that are iOS only and that I can’t run on my Mac. No, I don’t want to use iPhone mirroring, but have a native app
@manton I just found an old diary from 1980. Very brief entries, but some interesting ones for sure, and even some of those ‘vanilla’ type ones, jogged my memory.
