Cake day: June 11th, 2023

  • There was (maybe still is) a cake shop in Southgate, North London. About a minute from my old flat.

    The cakes in the window display rarely changed, if ever.

    The guy running it looked like if you imagine the toughest prisoner at a prison, only wearing an apron.

    About 50/50 whether the glass would be smashed whenever you walked past.

    It was often “open” and had people coming in and out of it at 2-3am when I came back from nights out.

    And there was a drive-by shooting right in that area while I lived there, that I always assumed was related. 😅













  • Although, people have been saying that since Ellen Pao and Voat… 😅

    I think you’re right to a point, but also, the whole fragmented fediverse thing is going to have to… at least be simplified if the “lurking voter” mainstream are going to end up here.

    Me (enthusiastically):
    “It’s federated, so you have to choose an instance! They’re all different, but they can all talk to each other! Some of them have different rules. Oh, and they can all have their own ‘videos’ community, so you have to decide which ones you want to follow. Also some of the instances are kbin and some are Lemmy, but most likely the website you log into won’t be called either of those things. And if you don’t curate your own frontpage (which doesn’t even show your subs by default) you’ll just see everything at once!”
