I don't know why the main socials of His Dark Materials are promoting today as being the premiere of series three, since we're already four episodes in, but I guess they have a bit of a UK focus. Anyway, UK people, in about twenty minutes it starts for you on BBC one!

And stick with it, series three takes a few episodes to get into it.

Twitter link-out ban

Wow, Twitter now disallows all links to other social media, including Instagram and Facebook, also to non-social media sites like linktree, including just mentioning handles without link or giving a plaintext description of your link or handle.

What is still allowed, is automatic crossposting to Twitter from the other site and including a link like that.

I guess putting your social media handles on your own site, and putting your own site in your bio's, is the way to go.

How they see the difference between automatic crossposting to Twitter with link back and on the other hand posting a link out, I don't know. I also don't know why they include linktree in the ban, as it is just like a personal homepage listing your identities.

Twitter link-out ban
I think they included Linktree because it was effective and popular - there isn’t a reasoned, principled approach - it’s just a way to try to prevent people from fleeing the ship.

The Instagram account itself remains unbanned on Twitter, even though it clearly exists to promote another platform. And posts links to Instagram content.

I'm not supporting any of the teams in the world cup final, but the amount of theater by the Argentine players is irritating me.

Football players know we all look at the closeups to see whether there was contact. So putting your leg in front of your opponent's, then 'falling' over it, looks like you're really the victim of a foul.

I started watching The Act because the lead character is played by Joey King. I noticed AnnaSophia Robb as well, which is great. I didn't recognise Patricia Arquette and I'm ashamed.

Luckily 'the twist' came in the first episode already rather than at the end of the season, since I suspected something along those lines early on.

I've been so spoiled always buying Samsung phones and tablets. Now I have a Google Pixel for work. It doesn't even come with a charger. Nor a manual. It's advertised as dual-sim, but has only one sim slot. Quite confusing to use, no back button, no easy access to settings.

The back button thing is a setting. From the Google result excerpt from pc guide:

System Settings

From there, go to Settings > System and tap the 3 button navigation switch to turn on the Android standard navigation buttons. From here, you'll have the standard back (triangle), home (circle), and app drawer (square) buttons back in your control.

This was rumoured for a while, but now it's officially announced: Jenna Ortega plays the lead in a film called Winter Spring Summer or Fall. What is new to me is that she's also Executive Producing the film. So great to see her play more character roles and also that she gets more control over the process.

#JennaOrtega #WinterSpringSummerOrFall

While with the success of Wednesday on Netflix a go-ahead for season two seems only natural, here are my completely uninformed thoughts about it: it has become clear that there can't be a Wednesday season two or any offshoot of the Addams Family universe in film, without Jenna Ortega. She's been so much the center of the success. And if I were Jenna, which I'm not, I'd want in this case to see scripts before committing. So chicken and egg... Maybe a series of independent Wednesday films are most likely.

Currently the trakt.tv site is down due to a database crash and they are recovering from a backup. They say on twitter it's going slow due to the size of the database. I can imagine that. How slow you can see from the fact that it's already getting to two days.

So this is your reminder, also to myself, to think about your recovery strategy. Just making backups is not enough. Also, backups are a last resort because the data transfer for the restore takes so long. If you want to be online again quickly, redundant/shadow servers and/or snapshots are a must.

I'm realising that not only the infinite-scroll is a addiction-inducing tactic of social media, but stories are as well. In the sense of the posts that stay up for only 1 day, so you can't have a few days away from a platform without missing news of people you care about.

Nice to see how everyone is having so much fun and is so relaxed on the Wednesday set. Seems to be a good place with good people. Not so nice to see Emma getting that flashlight straight in her face, I guess that did hurt...

Hmm, quote-share of my post didn't work so well. I can't upload the video here either...

Watching Sophie Rundle and Suranne Jones in Gentleman Jack as Ann Walker and Anne Lister, inspired by the diaries of the real Anne Lister. There is no Jack in the series... I'm watching series one on HBO Max since I've already seen series two. It's set in victorian times and shows Anne Lister doing everything male landowners did in these times, including marrying a woman, the other Ann. I find I can not celebrate her too much, since she's also doing all the negative things men of that time and class did. E.g. to me she seems to have no empathy towards servants and women.

There's so much manipulation and gaslighting by Anne Lister of Ann Walker, it's hard to describe it as a love story between the two women, which on the outside this series may suggest.

Anne is saying literally the things that in other series the sleazy male characters would say.

Just came across this performance on YouTube. This really was the music of my youth. I may have initially at high school started with liking Sting, The Dire Straits, The Smiths, but I quickly saw the light and it became all female (fronted) music for me: The Throwing Muses, The Sundays and definitely Mazzy Star. Here's the latter on a Dutch radio show doing Flowers in December. 26 years ago... I have all their CDs of the time and I also have their more recent albums as well as Hope Sandoval's solo albums from iTunes.

A rarely well-lit performance. Usually the recordings of their stage appearances were very dark where you could hardly see the people. The albums also didn't have her on the cover and the liner notes photos were very vague. They really wanted to keep her face out of the impression you had of the band and to let the music speak for itself.

There is a thing in the music industry where if a woman is good-looking, especially very good-looking, her music can't be taken seriously.

What I didn't like about yesterday's football world cup match between the Netherlands and Argentina was the ice hockey(*) attitude of it.

(*) my stereotypical ideas of ice hockey, I don't actually know the game itself.

Maybe when explaining the fediverse to new people, or outsiders, or journalists, we shouldn't focus on explaining multiple servers so much. What it is, is social media like twitter but run by volunteers. I think that's the important distinguishing part.

Then when they ask how it's organised, who's in charge and stuff like that, who sets the rules, then we can say volunteers can setup their own servers with their own rules. Only when they wonder stuff like that, this server thing becomes interesting. Until then, it's just details.

I don't tend to photograph the #forest at the #goldenhour - particularly when the sun is strong.

That doesn't mean I am not out looking for images at this time of day; it's just that direct sunlight usually adds unwanted complexity to most scenes. The woods are full of chaos & need to be simplified.

Below are some images where the strong golden light did add something extra.
