  1. The #Brighton wheel is returning? Why? It was shit. It didn't even have enough height to provide a good view over the Pavilion through its tree cover, let alone the rest of the bowl that Brighton nestles in. Oriented east to west, you can see from the Marina to West Pier, which you can do better by having a stroll. #BahHumbug

  2. (This is in now way an endorsement of Christmas, early or otherwise. #bahhumbug)

  3. Some further info:

    • Turning airplane mode on and off didn’t fix it
    • A restart didn’t fix it
    • Private relay was off already

    But…

    …within 10 minutes of doing/checking the above, it now seems to not be happening! Gah!

    Will keep testing if/when it recurs.

  4. Help! Boost for reach, please!

    • iOS 26.6
    • iPhone SE (2020)
    • 4G and WiFi
    • Safari and app web views
    • No VPN or networking Config Profiles active

    First time I follow a link to a page or enter an address in Safari, it sits for ages, then I get the attached error message. This happens for most sites.

    If I hit refresh, it immediately works.

    Content blockers turned off, no adblockers (currently).

    If I tether to my phone the pages load immediately in Safari on my Mac.

    Loading in a web view does not solve Safari’s issue (and vice versa).

    Please only answer if:
    • You are currently experiencing, or have recently experienced, this particular behaviour
    • You have found a solution or have eliminated anything I don’t mention here explicitly

    If you’d prefer not to be blocked, please don’t respond if you’ve *not* experienced this problem, esp. with:
    • Gen AI “solutions” if *you* haven’t tried them *on this problem* and they’ve solved it
    • To say “Doesn’t happen for me” (even in jest [seriously – don’t do that!])
    • To advise me to “Get a real phone” (even in jest [seriously – don’t do that!])
    • To suggest “Have you tried…?” or “You should try…” (most esp. generic “reset network settings”-type responses)

  6. @soffronoff thanks - I’ll keep it in mind, but I rarely use YT these days, and it’s usually if I follow a link in my Masto app on my phone. I mostly see YTF on link previews in my Masto app, and they grind my gears every single time!

  7. Am I the only one who doesn't give two hoots about the Artemis thing? #bahhumbug #r4today

  8. When, exactly, did it become acceptable for people to roll straight out of bed and come to the hotel dining room for breakfast in their pyjamas? #slippingstandards #thinEndOfTheWedge #EndOfEmpire #bahHumbug

  9. here in Addison County Vermont in a world of snow it's snowing again

  10. "Note to self: Next time, just steal #Christmas from a 5-mile radius. My calves are burning."😫 We mapped the #Grinch following Santa’s footsteps: It’s a lot of exercise & joy. He hates it. You’ll love it. See the world’s grumpiest trek here: maptiler.link/4s4LM29 #BahHumbug

  11. Only 48 hours away from taking down every vestige of seasonal decoration and - hopefully - hearing the last of the music for another 10 months.

  12. I cannot believe people choose to listen to Christmas music all day.
    [Edit/clarification: I am referring here to carols or other songs. Not instrumental music.]

    Retail workers who are forced to should be able to sue for mental abuse.

  13. I'm feeling particularly grumpy at the moment so now is probably a good time to give up on recycling old jokes I've posted here.

    Just in case you end up wondering where they went.

    #bahHumbug

    Edit: due to peer pressure and me being of slightly better humour I'm reversing this decision.

    Edit 2: I've run out of jokes to recycle 🤔

    Edit 3: I've started working backwards retooting the old jokes again. So terribly sorry (not sorry).

  14. Xmas sums up what is wrong with our society. The TV and radio go wild, Xmas songs, Xmas chatter, replays of Xmas shows, and what about all the ads? Wow. Spend spend spend. Xmas trees, decorations, and excess. No thought for the environment, nor for folk for whom Xmas is a sad time, or who can't afford much or whose homes are under attack.
    It is madness, plain and simple.

    If that makes me a Bah Humbug, I'm okay with that.

  15. I hate wrapping presents. I’m pretty happy to give them, but wrapping - ugh! I even tried becoming a Buddhist for a couple of years to avoid it.

  16. #3Things for SAT: Day of Garlic & Mugwort
    1. Fighting off the bah humbug all day
    2. Might bake tonight … cranberry bliss bars, if I do
    3. As usual, I do the tree myself. Not because I want to, but nobody ever helps, even when I ask. #bahhumbug At least I get to enjoy it more than anyone else

  17. That thing, where a late-running half-filled bus WITH passengers decides it’s no longer picking up any more and decides to leave you waiting in the heat. #BahHumbug

  18. blegh. choir holiday party is tonight, which I've been looking forward to (to get to know folks in the group better since I'm new) but I'm just really not in a very holiday mood.

    but I'll get myself there and I'm sure--or I hope--I'll be in a more festive mood by then.

  19. Suppose I have to put the xmas decs up today

  20. RE: dice.camp/@Seandar16/115691084

    2 more punk rock flea markets before Xmas! Then I can rest. Between hawking our games and my day job, December is almost non-stop work every year. Nothing but love to people who work retail! I don't know how you do it. I'm pooped already.

  21. RE: mastodon.social/@RobertaFidora

    Welp I just found my new favorite Christmas bop. I love the lyrics, and I think this is the first time I’ve heard a British person utter the word “January.” I had no idea it differed so much from the American pronunciation!

  22. The joy that is #BathChristmasMarket is upon us. 😫

    If you absolutely must come to #Bath, do so early, use the P&R buses, book lunch in a restaurant beforehand, and don’t expect to see any locals (we hate it).

    #BahHumbug

  23. Out our kitchen window three blocks away, you can already see the inflatable Santa. Not looking forward to this …

  25. Can you lose Whamageddon in November, because I think I just did.

    Newcastle Christmas market is in full swing at the top end of Grey and
    Grainger streets and around Grey's monument.

    I walked by after the match and some Muppet was playing Last Christmas.

    It's the middle of November people. Christmas doesn't start this early.

    #BahHumbug #Whamageddon #Christmas

  26. OK, I'm confused. Have the perfume/ eau de toilette a tv adverts started really early for Christmas this year?

    #bahHumbug

  27. So the supermarket has started to put up the Christmas stuff... Mince pies signs in the bakery isle...

    #bahHumbug

  28. I’m sitting here viewing a Disney Holiday/Christmas commercial in fricken’ August. August FFS!
