@cabel usually it’s my dad asking me, and he messages “call me asap please”. One day it’ll be a real emergency and I’ll ignore it for a day.

@otfrom @katemorley yep, just realised the screenshot shows ~3.1gw of curtailment, which is more than gas generation. So could be totally free of non-renewables today if we had the transmission lines from north to south.

@katemorley could be an extra ~3.8gw of wind when the Dogger Bank and Sofia wind farms are at full potential.

@L___@troet.cafe @ianbetteridge@social.vivaldi.net salaries didn’t change, and most people find they are more productive during those nine days so there’s been no issue with the work getting done. Everyone likes it.

@ianbetteridge@social.vivaldi.net the company I work for allows a nine day fortnight, as long as the work gets done. A four day week would be even nicer, but it’s a good start and made such a difference.

@TechConnectify I never clean my dishwasher filter manually, I just empty it out in the trash then put it on a shelf in the dishwasher when I do a cleaning cycle so there are no dirty dishes with food remains that need filtering.

@zsk@mastodonapp.uk @charlesarthur@newsie.social @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net @macstories@mastodon.macstories.net good question, but I see many journalists put their org in their Twitter handles already and need to change that when they leave/move. Mastodon already supports migrating followers to a different server, but content remains on the original server, which would make for a nice archive of their work at that org.

@macstories@mastodon.macstories.net @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net @charlesarthur@newsie.social perhaps @zsk@mastodonapp.uk as the BBC’s tech correspondent can make some suggestions internally.

@viticci@mastodon.macstories.net @macstories@mastodon.macstories.net @charlesarthur@newsie.social This is the model more media organisations should be using. All the BBC journalists and accounts on a BBC controlled server, etc for The Guardian, etc.
