@tagomago I've not done the maths, but it's very close to 100%, yep! Impressive stuff. Greens often don't get the (ongoing) media coverage they deserve though. 🙂🙃 Hopefully these results may change that.

Greens celebrate ‘phenomenal’ gains in local elections across England

"Following the pattern of recent local elections, in which the Greens have both won more seats and extended the geographical spread of their representation, by Friday night the party had won 156 seats, with a net gain of 81. It took seats from both Labour and the Conservatives."

"Even if climate change is limited to less than 2⁰C, more than 300,000 pairs of mammals which have never met before will meet, leaving open the possibility that the viruses they carry will jump from animal to animal or even into humans."

Meanwhile, in the UK... 🇬🇧

Turns out #Twitch shadow banned my account from using chat because I logged in using a #VPN. I contacted support to ask why I couldn't use chat anymore and they told me to "Please refrain from behaviors such as chat ban evasion"

😲

Excuse me! I'm a good webizen. Just because I use a VPN, it doesn't make me a crook!

"One doesn’t require an advanced appreciation of semiotics to understand what Le Pen is doing. She was at pains to appear affable, materteral, even slightly dotty, frequently making affectionate reference to her four cats – more suburban cake-baker than populist fire-breather. It’s usually a mistake to judge people by their appearance. And it’s certainly a mistake when that’s exactly what they want you to do." #LePen #MarineLePen #France 🇫🇷 #Politics 🗳️ #frpol

I thought if I put the baby to sleep inside today, I’d get a moment to myself to relax. 👶🏻 💤

BUT the cats have a different idea and followed me around until I sat down, and now they’re sat on top of me. 🐱🐱

Australian PM’s department cocks up by making their women’s network logo look lamentably similar to a penis… #design #australia #penis

It’s really hard not to use #Cloudflare when domain name providers want to charge £75 (880 kr.) per year for an SSL certificate and Cloudflare do it for free…

I bought one... But now they tell me it only covers www. and NO OTHER SUBDOMAINS and tell me I have to buy a new SSL certificate for every subdomain. 😂

Fuck that.

@codewiz Does this screen kick in when you're speeding down the highway/motorway/autobahn ??

@tagomago Surprising. The UI is terrible, isn’t it? 😂

My dishwasher is broken, so I guess that just means I use my wife’s technique of stacking the dirty dishes up by the sink until they magically clean themselves 🧼🍽 #Adulting

@infev @tagomago True. Their marketing specifically talks about “ad trackers” and that ads are annoying and slow down page load times - so I guess it’s easy to presume their goal is to block ads as well as trackers - but sure - they’re just blocking trackers.

Why does the #Firefox tracking protection, even on Strict mode, not block #YouTube ads. 😢

I know there’s third party add-ons for desktop that will block the ads, but WHYYYY not the built in one?! 😶

@tagomago Wasn’t that a song by Bob Geldof?

Hey it’s #BandcampFriday and since mega pop star #Adele fucked up the supply chain of vinyl records, one of my favourite bands #Cassels won’t have any records to sell on tour.

So if you can pre-order one from #Bandcamp today, that will really help them recoup potential losses. And you get a nice vinyl record.
