@kev@fosstodon.org here's the BBC article about it https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-46747862

the british army is currently doing a recruitment campaign where, to get more young people to sign up to be shot at, they're calling them "snowflakes", "selfie addicts", and "phone zombies"

certainly an interesting advertising decision, let's see how well that works out for them

I forsee "badly"

yeah, looking up food recipes on the internet might be annoying to USAians but over here, in addition to scrolling through someone's entire life story to get to the recipe, I have to:

- convert all the measurements from US imperial to UK imperial so my mum can understand it because she's usually the one who wants the recipe
- convert all measurements to metric so I can understand it
- translate the USAian to English

I fancy mucking about with networking gear again but my current setup works entirely fine for the forseeable future

Someone provide really cheap gigabit fibre to my house so I've got reason to mess about with stuff plx
