@Agiri@masto.ninja *does a little bow*

that's a bow like "take a bow", not a bow like "tied up in a bow"

@Agiri@masto.ninja *wiggles around a bunch*

@Agiri@masto.ninja hi girl, i'm octopus

hedgehog fren doin a munch

lil hedgehog fren charged over from the bushes to the water dish so he could have a drink

hedgehog fren was thirsty

shit, that last toot would have been a perfect opportunity for a "thus spake the octopus"

I really need to remember to do that

"virtue signalling" is a bullshit term used only by complete arseholes

@ratbaby nyet, that's not true

wait

shit

Just had some of the lemon chutney with dinner, fucking hell it's gotten strong

With the fediverse being a reasonable size and mid-term elections coming up in the US it's not unlikely that certain groups may try to weaponise the fediverse in the same way that they've weaponised facebook and twitter

Luckily we can do things about it here

If you see accounts breaking CoC then please report them, all us mods will do our best but we can only take action when we know that there's action to be taken

Barry Chuckle has died after a short illness

Very sad to hear that

Reggie is like, the platonic ideal of cat

He wandered in, started meowing his head off, took one look at the food I gave him, decided that it wasn't up to his standards, and promptly left

He doesn't even live here, he just wanders in for us to feed him

@Jo the LNB is the thing that sits in the middle of the dish, not sure what Sky uses as standard but there might be a spare output on there

although you would have to get up a ladder and wire a cable up, which would be a pain in the arse

@Jo if the dish they've got has a spare LNB you could piggyback off that to get freesat, sky and freesat both use the same satellites

According to research (that I can't remember the source for), cats don't see humans as a different species or anything

They see humans as inexplicably large, slightly thick cats

@Jo we ended up going with free to view satellite because digital terrestrial just doesn't work around here

There's a small hill

That's literally the reason we get zero TV reception

A small hill

Being able to easily recognise facial expressions would be handy, on the other hand, I'd have to wear google glass
