       @ocean From 'don't be evil' to 'let's see just how evil we can be'. Glad I closed my Google account a while ago.

       @gutenberg_org I credit Joyce with easing me painlessly into the stream of consciousness genre. We studied A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in school, and I took to it like a duck to water. The book still lives in my head.

       @gutenberg_org It may be groundbreaking, but I find it almost unreadable. I slogged through it for a class, but never again.

       @gutenberg_org Is every explanation a metaphor?

       @EUCommission Good to see the EU Commission's move to Mastodon has resulted in the development of excellent memes.

       @ariadne It's bizarre that any employer would demand this in the first place.

       @Gargron One thing you didn't mention is slow mode. Sometimes the feed whizzes by too fast, which is quite frustrating, but it can be halted so you can read at leisure. It lets you move up and down manually. In Preferences: Animations and accessibility, tick Slow mode.

       @gamingonlinux That was the last straw. I moved to Waterfox. They have the same excellent bookmark system as Firefox and that was the only thing keeping me there. It's also an opportunity to get rid of the bookmark bloat that accumulates over time and start afresh with a lean, mean bookmark machine.

       @CarmePont You often get more sensible answers when you talk to yourself.

       @eff @jilliancyork @reasonmagazine Does anyone know where to find Autistici.org? It seems to have disappeared from even the progressive browsers.

       @stux Twitter suspended my account in 2019 BM. I'm now in a peculiar limbo state where I can look at it but not do anything, not even delete it as I most want to do. Even the offending post, which I still stand by, is there.

       @gutenberg_org I'm a big fan of the Mapp & Lucia novels, by E. F. Benson. Brilliant social comedy set in the fictional village of Riseholme, and later, Tilling in E. Sussex. While Riseholme is a bit generic, Tilling is exactly mapped onto Rye, where Benson lived for many years in Lamb House. You can see how closely in the map below, a memento of the 'Rye Gathering' I went on pilgrimage to in the early Noughties.I also visited Dundee, looking for William McGonagall.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapp_and_Lucia

       @gutenberg_org 'Another writes about a woman becomes so obsessed with romance novels that she struggles to distinguish fiction from reality.'This is Northanger Abbey.
