some say a comet will fall from the sky, Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still Followed by billions of dumb-founded dipshits Some day the end is near Some say we'll see armageddon soon I certainly hope we will I sure could use a vacation from this Stupid shit, silly shit...

One great big festering neon distraction I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied: learn to swim

Mom's gonna fix it all soon. Mom's coming round to out it back the way it ought to be...

Tool - Aenima

Yay. I just tried it and it works.

Depends. It was dogshit when it launched, but now I get over 100mbps down. I did have to relocate the wireless modem box they gave me, though. And of course, YMMV, as did mine at launch.

Correlation ≠ causation. Exactly. But it is an interesting connection. It won't make me better but I'll take less worse!

I think The Amazing Digital Circus, despite having achieved 'broken the internet' status, is still quite niche for the moment. Might have fallen on deaf ears.

Don't put the headset on.

Not what you asked for, but if you're interested at all in digital audio books, I cannot recommend highly enough Chirp Books. They use a flash sale kind of model, and sometimes the author you're interested in has their books at 90% off for like 30 days, and it cycles on rotation. You do need their proprietary player app to listen, but you can download the audiobooks to your device for offline listening.

For actual ebooks, you could look into your local library, and what schemes are available for 'digital lending'. Some platforms exist that let you loan movies, games, stream music and download ebooks using your local library card.

Fuck the Daily Mail.

Yeah no. Plaid is one thing but giving access to your bank login to pay an invoice is something quite another. If it's legit they can accept a card payment, or send you to a PayPal invoice.

Gotta have lashings of Bisto gravy, yorkies and good ol' British Maris Piper potatoes too. Occasionally carrot turnip mash if you're feeling posh. Cauliflower and broccoli if that's your thing. Served by Lynda Bellingham.

Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.

And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).

When we used reddit, and you found a link on Google or in an email that went to reddit.com, it would open up that link in Boost. Same for the email notifications when you got an inbox message or a comment reply - following the link opened up your inbox in Boost, not your web browser.

Since there are an almost infinite number of instances to match the URL for, is this behaviour just not possible with Lemmy, by the nature of the fediverse?

I think I remember Android having a manual option to set default apps for certain links, so I'm going to try and set Boost the default app for links starting with my home instance. Not sure if Boost will necessarily understand the links though and how to process it..
