I’ve experienced exactly the same with my son. He was in hospital for about two weeks but is now absolutely fine.

Really scary and distressing time, I still get wobbly when thinking about it… but the doctors and nurses will look after him.

I hope you’re doing okay. At least as okay as you can be. Don’t forget to eat and sleep yourself.

Obviously they aren’t serious… why is this still generating headlines?

I’m not superstitious at all but out of habit I do tend to (moderately) follow a bunch

Don’t put new shoes on the table Don’t open umbrellas inside Don’t walk under ladders Don’t walk over 3 drains Don’t pass people on the stairs Throwing salt over my shoulder if I spill some) Pointing out the good luck of being poop on by a bird Greeting/saluting a magpie

……

Oh dear that’s a lot… maybe I am superstitious!

I love that the sales pitch of bungee jumping is “you’ll think you’re going to die…. But you won’t”

I do like all kinds of holidays. Relaxing with a book holidays, city breaks, friend boozy holidays, exhausting family holidays etc

My ideal holidays though is a nature/wildness focused holiday (but staying somewhere nice… I can enjoy camping but it isn’t “ideal holiday” material). USA National Parks, Canadian Rockies, The Nordics, Safari etc

I’ve been listening to https://lateralcast.com a lot recently. I also like the guardian “Today in Focus”

Has there been hints of any new Becky Chambers book that you’ve heard of? The news section of otherscribbles.com doesn’t have anything since nearly a year ago.

When I was deep in the sleep deprived zone of new parenthood, listening & readying to Beckychambers books on audio book was just perfect. I was too fragile to deal with any horribly dark or dense sci-fi books (that so many seem to be) and her books always felt like a nice cup of tea (pretty appropriate considering psalm for the wild-built!)

We are expecting our second and I’d love to have a new Becky chambers book to read or listen to when we restart the new born saga!

I think a separate community would only be needed if it got too noisy here. At the moment I don’t think there is enough activity to warrant an entirely separate community.

I think for now people should be able to post their questions here for a discussion. If anything that would help more active engagement in this community.

(Just my thoughts on it)

Thank you!

Also like that the iOS app privacy section says:

Data Not Collected The developer does not collect any data from this app

I’ve used it to create a little dashboard page for my home sever - it made a page that displays the uptime, network status, the remaining disc space, links to all my hosted services (including indicators showing if they are online or offline) automatically grabbing the favicon for the links etc

Everything nicely styled and formatted in a dark theme with status colours etc

It did absolutely everything, picked the language added step by step instructions of setting it up even suggestions on styling options.

Absolutely awful, so much unnecessary suffering will be caused by this.

I’m listening (if that counts?) to Lord of the rings (i’m on Return of the King - book 5). Been really enjoying it so far, there are many more significant differences to the movies than I was expecting.

At the moment it’s easier to get time in for audio books (during late night toddler wakes and car journeys etc)

Yeah I’m definitely a fan. MorningLightMountain absolutely blew my mind when I got to that part.

The awkward sex scenes not so much…. But putting that aside they great reads.

Yes - one of the Mlem devs said that it was being worked on and should be in the beta soon

Thanks for linking to that, I hadn’t seen that article before. Interesting seeing it broken down like that and being able to search for a website to see if it was part of the training data

That’s awesome news. Really looking forward to it. Thank you & the team for all the work on this

Definitely this. Was thinking about making a bit myself to do this as the whole direct link thing is such a pain but I don’t have any experience in making bots so I’d be even happier if someone else manages to make one!

Something that automatically converts https://beehaw.org/c/support to [support](/c/support) so they are useable across instances.___

Already been posting and commenting more than I ever did in countless years on Reddit!

I think on Reddit there was so many voices I hardly felt it was worth posting or commenting. Someone else would have already posted my thoughts and done it much more eloquently than I would have.

Here every little act of engagement helps, so I’m just jumping right in to posting & commenting without second guessing myself.

The features I’d love to see:

• Compact / Collapsed posts
• List of your Subscribed Communties
• Search for Communities
• Multi-Communities (an equivalent to the Multireddits in Apollo)

I use (or used to use) the Multireddit feature in Apollo all the time. My big use case is that I can put “spoiler” communities there so they don’t pop up in my main feed but I can go there once I’ve seen the relevant episode! It’s also really good for grouping regional ones… like

UK, Chill UK, UK Casual etc

Edit: and being able to edit your own post!
