@lmika Cool, fair enough! Finally, as a pigeon aficionado, you might appreciate this photo I took a couple of… uh, decades ago: www.flickr.com/photos/vi…

@lmika Yep, I learned this a few years ago on a guided GoT tour in Dubrovnik. 👌 I wonder if your uncle sold the same pigeons again to that one guy then? 😁

@lmika Fun fact: Dubrovnik plays the city of King’s Landing in Game of Thrones. There used to be no white pigeons there but in GoT they had a royal wedding and imported plenty. Show runners thought they’d just fly back home, but they settled in. Now Dubrovnik has white pigeons because of a TV show.

@ttscoff After certain age the age just stops being something you think about. For kids it’s very important, but I can’t recall when I’ve previously been asked for my age.

@lmika Have you ever thought that you could be writing for future generations? Like, imagine if your grandfather had been blogging and you could read his texts now.

@schickb.bsky.social Hey Brad, thanks for your message! Great to hear from you! What’s setting RB apart from the current games of the genre is that it didn’t require constant online connection or a monthly subscription. I think if you ever revive it, consider keeping it that way. 👍

@birming Hey, we have that same saying in Finland as well. 😂 Most likely borrowed from Swedish of course, but anyway, it’s a weird one indeed!

@fred OK, fair points. 😅

@fred Hmm, why not? Saves you from having to store yet another password. They usually require your email address anyway, might as well leave it at that? Sure, it’s a bit slower maybe than signing in with a password, but they usually remember you, so you’d only sign in monthly.

@lmika Same here! Their list of monthly bookmarks made into my list of weekly bookmarks: ville.saalo.moi/2025/06/0… 😃

@canion Why, what happened? I really like Vivaldi myself. Haven’t really used Firefox in years. Vivaldi seems to provide everything I need and more in one package, whereas with Firefox you’re always on hunt for new plugins.

@Pentatonicc Thanks! I shall hope the Russian government collapses soon enough and something better is born from the ashes, but I’m not holding my breath.

@Pentatonicc No problem! You might, by the way, want to check the write-up I posted earlier today: ville.saalo.moi/2025/06/0…

@Pentatonicc Hey, it’s been a while since I last donated. Did that now via Come Back Alive, thanks for sharing! 🇺🇦

@lmika Hey, nice post explaining the concept well! 👍 But there’s a typo in the title: “Encapulation”.

@mandaris Fair enough. 👍

@mandaris Not sure if I agree with the premise that the internet was about sharing things? What is it about nowadays, then?

@ttscoff Just how sad is it that we now have large language models that can predict enough words to write a coherent book, but the actual text prediction engines in our phones are at this leben?

@V_ Ooh it has started already? I’ve read all the books! 🤩 By the way you managed to link some show called Run All Night (2015) and not, in fact, the Murderbot Diaries… 😅

@Novistopheles Hey, that’s cool! I haven’t read the Tiny Experiments book but I heard about it and was inspired to write a post about it last month: ville.saalo.moi/2025/04/1…

@V_ Hey, that looks genuinely interesting. How did you find it?

@mandaris Will you also offer consultancy services to determine if that thing is dumb, or who decides that part?
