Down to about a thousand.

I’m meant Spotify has the larger choice.

And yes. I need to keep WhatsApp for this very purpose.

Meet my wife.

You mean those wide, spotless manicured, tree lined roads, devoid of cars, that we see on American TV shows aren’t real?

I’m shocked I tell you. Shocked!

Whilst he’s on it.

Excellent news for turkeys, not so much for the people that worked there.

Then again, they had a choice, the turkeys didn’t.

I keep seeing things like this, then an item on the news that says sales in Spain are up.

It’s not all good news.

I know people don’t like Windows 11, but that’s a bit much.

From the article:

'The aircraft’s most notable capability is its ability to deploy large-scale drone swarms mid-flight, potentially overwhelming enemy defenses by sheer volume and unpredictability. State-released video footage simulated the dramatic visual of a synchronized UAV launch sequence.

Drone swarms offer strategic advantages in surveillance, intelligence gathering, and real-time reconnaissance, particularly in contested regions such as the Taiwan Strait. Analysts warn that such a capability could play a central role in a future conflict scenario between China and Taiwan.

In addition to drone launches, the Jiu Tan can also be equipped with cruise missiles and air-to-air weapons like the PL-12E, further expanding its offensive potential.’

A big difference.

I thought we already knew that. Does this just make it ‘official’?

Oops typo 😒

Ha ha ha.

2.5kt. Good job pity Ukraine doesn’t have nukes anymore.

Unless you’re in the US, then they text secret plans directly to you

Even if you didn’t want them ;-)

Yeah I get that, it’s why I don’t use FB anymore. I keep WhatsApp for close family though. They’re is no other option. And dont tell me to use text. Doesn’t cut it.

Before getting on our high horse - there are mercenaries of various nationalities fighting on the Ukrainian side as well as the Russian side, that doesn’t mean their governments support them.

This. The average user doesn’t want to know about the workings and ‘All that technical stuff’, and why should they?

They want to click an icon and have everything and everyone there. They shouldn’t have to swap instances or what have you.

I put Mastodon on a back burner as it’s just too clunky (for me at least) and am currently interacting with people from all over on BlueSky. Half the time on Mastodon (various apps/instances, web, or browser) I couldn’t even log on.

BlueSky will probably go the way of others. Yes, there is a troll problem, and you need to be wary. But I had the same to a lesser extent on Mastodon.

In the end, I’ve had to accept my relatives, work, and old Army colleagues will never be on there, I’ve become resigned to that and keep a WhatsApp account for that reason.

Right, so we just trade in our relatives for some new ones.

That’s the attitude that puts people off.

Try telling that to the UK.

We’ve got old sausage fingers to cough up for.

You’d think a businessman as bigly smart (people tell him all the time, many people) as he is would understand this.
