@c0dec0dec0de @Flisty @DamonHD @afewbugs I figured it's because you'll end up moving about like one of those shopping trolleys with a wonky wheel.

@afewbugs @DamonHD @Flisty

But then it occured to me, he wanted to get verbed! Ah, good ol' Timmy, what an absolute noun!

@DamonHD @Flisty @afewbugs

I still remember the first time a UK friend asked me if I wanted to get trolleyed, had no idea what he meant.

@Flisty @afewbugs

I am now imagining someone sensuously feeding a lover baked beans. Thanks a lot.

@afewbugs Indeed, as long as you preface it with 'You absolute...".

Underlines how "bad words" is a silly concept, it's the tone and the delivery and not the words themselves.

@CiaraNi Sign me up for Ragnarok! A nice cruise on a ship built from discarded fingernails and toenails seems like a breeze compared to the stuff we're witnessing now.

@pms @SorenMRiis @CiaraNi

benådes, ikke, hænges

@mjj @CiaraNi the actual (heartbreaking) reason was that they had dressed up in their finest to bid their friend goodbye and didn't want to ruin that by wearing winter jackets.

@SorenMRiis @pms @CiaraNi

Hvorfor har jeg på fornemmelsen at du tænker på Bornholm?

@SorenMRiis @pms @CiaraNi

Ah, kommateringen forvirrede mig

"Kom, sydvest, som frosten tvinger"

Så det er ikke mig der skal komme sydvest (Odder er vel også stik syd for Tilst), men sydvestenvinden der skal komme!

@mjj @CiaraNi I was at a funeral last saturday, and several of the teenage girls present weren't even wearing a jacket. Boggles the mind!

@pms @CiaraNi Er det en reference jeg ikek forstår eller er der bare lunt i Odder?

@CiaraNi it feels like it's been windy and frozen for close to 8 months now, when will it end? Is this the fimbul-winter??

@Pepijn within language, correct means whatever people can agree on. I'd say, in normal language, this is not paper. But there might be an established usage within, I dunno, grilling stuff where it's called wooden paper even though you and I don't think it makes sense from our understanding of the term.

@afewbugs

Ah, replied to a post which was removed before I could press reply. Anyway, here's the comment:

I think, to some degree and in a work environment, it's also because maintenance tasks and day to day operations stuff is not typically valued in an organization. Some people - and they're often men - don't do work which won't get them recognition from higher-ups.

I say this as someone who prefers to do maintenance work and operations stuff, and who likes to clean up and make sure my area of responsibility is in tip top shape even where people don't typically look.

But most people don't think about the cleanup and maintenance phase of an IT project, so they leave their mess everywhere. Which is frankly somewhere between annoying and infuriating.

@antoniovr @CiaraNi @drgroftehauge nah, seems doable, didn't consider getting it from the browser. Doh.

@CiaraNi @drgroftehauge I know I'm supposed to be the techie out of us, Ciara, but how do you actually switch to f-Droid?

@CiaraNi @wavesculptor @Tattooed_Mummy ah, that might be it, I never use it in that manner and never have this issue. I've tried it on other softwares, though, where I often need to cross reference something or look something up and it's infuriating to lose your text to some half-assedly implemented rich text editor...

@CiaraNi @Tattooed_Mummy I just use the official Mastodon app, no alt text problems there. Ever given it a spin?
