We get Maize Mazes in the UK 🙂

I'd like to be able to crosspost from the app. I have to go onto the web to do that currently.

Here's a massive list of the UK allocations: https://static.ofcom.org.uk/static/spectrum/fat.html

Hmm, if they're making Cheddar in America it's not really Cheddar.

But American cheese manufacturers adding food colouring makes sense. I don't think there's a single other country in the world where I'd believe that.

"Let's make this already yellow cheese even more yellow by adding unnecessary food colouring. Let's make it out of plastic whilst we're here!"

Why is American food all processed to oblivion?

Maybe Stract?

It's open source and has its own search index.

Who's adding food colouring to cheese ffs?

👎

I have one of the original Zelda ones. I played it loads, but it's the only one I have/had.

You've sold me on Autumn. I was going to go for Spring.

Winter is next (cosy days indoors, potentially snow, and when it is sunny it's lovely because it's still cold)

Summer bottom of the heap. Can't be doing with the heat.

I've been using Bookwyrm since I learnt about it - not long after I joined Mastodon. Migrated my GoodReads history over. @chris@wyrms.de if you want to follow!

Yes, that's the one.

The three I listen to on a regular basis:

• Adrift - stories of introverts and social awkwardness
• The Cryptid Factor - sometimes about cryptids
• Three Bean Salad - a random topic which they eventually might touch on and know nothing about

There was a Lemmy search engine but I don't think it is up any more.

Stract has a Fediverse "optic" but it doesn't appear to be working.

Probably if you tell Google to search site:lemmy.world that is likely to be good enough.

It runs off of RSS feeds. Here if you want to look/use as inspiration: https://github.com/chris-y/rsstolemmy I'm not sure if that's the latest version but it should do the job.

I got a tree from my local library, but that wasn't to borrow and neither was it a regular service.

I have one running in !beds@feddit.uk as otherwise there would be nothing in it other than the odd article I'd post manually. The idea is that I will remove it if the community grows enough that the bot is just adding noise. At the moment there's minimal engagement, but I find it useful as I see the local news rather than looking for it elsewhere and having to post it.

I don't think there's space - there's IQ above where the E would go.

Just thought of another one. I have an old Amiga 1200 which doesn't get powered up much but I accidentally dropped it in a move. Since then it's been prone to randomly crashing. Opened it up, nothing appeared to be dislodged. Somehow discovered that if I prop it up at an angle it doesn't crash any more.

Think I've done this one too! Desperately trying to rescue some data off a hard drive which just went click click click. Freeze it, try again, works for a few minutes until it warms back up and click click click....
