Remember: don't use "a11y". Spell out "accessibility". Using a term that people have to decipher in order to figure out what you're talking about *is inaccessible behavior*.
And award for understatement of the year goes to:

For some reason, some Markdown implementations on the fediverse right now are either doubling \n or sending \r\n, which gets read as a double newline in many clients. This makes toots with newlines look twice as long as they're supposed to on the FTL, which really screws up the intended effect.
Please be careful with your Markdown implementations so that you're not making your users' posts look bad when they federate!
HEY FEDI DEV TYPE PEOPLE
If you're implementing markdown on your instance can you make sure you're not doubling up on \n or using \r\n? They get caught as multiple newlines and make toots look like crap

We may need to open more franchises of the hedgehog cafe, had three queuing up outside!
@maple any collector of anything rare has a moral obligation to document the stuff they've got as much as possible and make that documentation available

I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A GYRO AT THE END OF THE NIGHT 🎶
@skynebula Oh yeah, certainly far from the "Made in Italy" thing, I was more referring to the origins of the case/crystal/dial/that sort of thing
ETA movements are still as good as they ever were, they have a very well earned reputation as solid workhorse movements
don't mind me, just testing something
@mal @Frinkeldoodle to clarify we do have the text formatting bbcode supported but not image tags
don't mind me, just testing something
@mal @Frinkeldoodle looks similar to that here as well, few more linebreaks here
@skynebula I'm lead to believe that Farer do all of the assembly in Switzerland with their design offices in England, certainly wouldn't be the first brand to do that
As to how many of the individual parts aside from the movement are manufactured in Switzerland, well, there's ongoing arguments in the industry about exactly how Swiss a Swiss Made watch is
@maple hm... that's less than ideal
@skynebula yeah, auto-chronos are really quite pricey these days
They do have a couple of quartz chronos that are far more reasonably priced, flyback rattrapante for £535 which is pretty damn neat (their "Pendine" and "Ainsdale")
Farer are putting out some nice stuff, they've just released their new Lander Chronograph
Automatic chrono movement (ETA 2894-2 with custom rotor), 39x12.5mm case size, colourful dial, quite nice all around
Also fairly well priced for an auto-chrono these days
A recent study has shown that orange essential oil is exceedingly effective at curing a particular condition
That condition is "not smelling sufficiently of oranges"
