Mostly a lurker.
I read books to pay the bills.

@chramies @Itdidnttrickledown I remember a German friend of mine (well before the referendum was even a thing) being highly amused when she heard me say “on the continent”. I’d never even thought about it. I suppose “on the mainland” makes more sense. Language can really affect your worldview!

@seraphine @technocrit the cookie banner is often now a “accept or leave” button, similar to how this sounds. Or “accept or pay”, commonly.
I never accept.
@glitchdx hmm. I’ll have to look into it. Most of the companies I work with are locked into office so I may be stuck with it but it’d be lovely to get rid.
@Gsus4 @TheBat the more worrying thing is how many times it has made something up that nobody has spotted because it looks normal.
Proofreading spots spelling/punctuation/formatting issues. You need a deeper copyedit, not just a scan, to check the sense of something. And that won’t necessarily catch factually untrue, but perfectly plausible, things.
@guyoverthere123 @CAVOK only by a 4% majority, heavily skewed to the older population. Ten years later, even natural demographic change would mean we’d vote to stay in with the same referendum now - but also we’ve had a pandemic that largely affected the elderly.
So when you say that you’re talking to dead people.
@Eril @noumenon isn’t Wero aiming to be the PayPal replacement? I think they’re basically combining various national platforms to make something that works Euro(pe?)-wide.
I say this jealously from the UK where we’re doing precisely zip, AFAIK.
