Jobs almost caught up on friendica.world


The jobs are being processed faster, now doing 120k jobs per day. There are 78k jobs remaining.

There were around 150k jobs for Jan 11th, it's almost through those. After that, there are only 4k jobs per day on average, meaning it will start processing a day every hour. I estimate it will start doing that around 1 or 2 pm CET today, so expect a lot of notifications start coming in after that. It should be all up-to-date around midnight (CET).

Does this mean posts on here will start being seen by followers on other activitypub instances?


re Pronouns


Never before in history
has anyone been able to be
a she if he was born a he
or the other way around
we find ourselves, linguistically
upon uncharted ground
As to pronouns, you can choose
whichever one you want to use
but make up new ones, I'll refuse
because they aren't there
(if you want to use them among yourselves
then I don't really care)




Gisteren in Utrecht, zondag met het Klimt Ensemble in Wassenaar. Klimt Ensemble: dat zijn drie muzikale vrienden die spelen wat ze zelf leuk vinden, meestal in eigen arrangementen.


Charlotte coming up for the pint.

Get hungry in the night, did you Mindy?


Gore
26/11/16 - Our cat, Mindy, was a stone-cold killer. We would regularly get up to find parts of rodents or skinks in the bathroom. Just like in this picture. Mindy's old now, and stays out of the way in the shed, away from the dogs, who get on her tits.


- off to schoolies.


25/11/16 - A picture of Lily, pillow in hand, leaving for Schoolies. For those not familiar with this Australian cultural milestone, Schoolies is when the 18 year olds who are about to leave school, go to a (usually) seaside town and wreak havoc, get pregnant, take drugs, drink until they are sick etc.


As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

After several hours, I have managed to go through every contact's profile, unfollow all of the political ones and ones that didn't really post content that interested me, , and ensure that the ones I really like are set to show all posts. Now, my feeds look wonderful and are much quieter!
