D&D Honour Among Theives is excellent - a proper fun fantasy adventure like I've not seen made in years!
D&D is present but not in an overdone, constantly winking at the audience way.
Had way more fun than I expected to, well worth a watch!

Engineers hate being wrong, but it can actually be a pretty useful tool for maintaining team harmony: https://t.co/Nm7dwMaojZ

Reddit is down, so I've just finished learning 3 languages, discovering a new species of owl, and writing a book to rival Lord of the Rings.

.@marksandspencer bought @thread, an excellent way of buying clothes, and closed it... yet don't seem to have absorbed anything that made Thread so good.
The M&S site regularly fails to even function as a shop when using Firefox.
I know you can't just merge sites, but seriously.

@marksandspencer @thread There's a lesson about innovation and capitalism in here somewhere.

@cassman_rich It's almost like presenting simple answers to complex questions isn't working out for the world! surpised_pika.jpg

@irutsun @whoisgraham Totally - it's far more of ye olde internet where something amazing has been built but it's not packaged for consumption without needing a bit of reading yet. I hope the sudden spike in interest might change that!

@irutsun @whoisgraham Anyone on any server. As with email, you now have an address that can be used across servers.
Explaining it is for sure a big step, especially as there's no marketing team pushing it and it's mostly techies in there who need to explain the value, not the architecture.

@irutsun Also RIP [email protected]

@irutsun @whoisgraham Your Gmail account let's your email anyone.
A Mastodon account let's your follow/see anyone.

Not preaching anything, just think it'd be a shame if we all saw the only way of running a service is one giant corp mining our data at the cost of privacy.

[Adam Whittingham @AdamWhittingham]

@irutsun @whoisgraham ... But what about for your emails? 😉

Today's trick or treat: Seeing an album on Spotify that I thought of as pretty new, only to see it's under the "Turning 10" category 👴
