Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 28/06/2026You already got an answer from someone else, but here’s a list I keep of the conditions for a company to be publicly owned and run. In screenshot because it’s too long otherwise. Actual text is in the alt text. 020 2
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 04/06/2026“However, a compelling alternative has emerged. For instance, a budget of approximately €2,999 could comfortably secure a new 2026 Brinckers Buddy, a sensible and reliable option.” There, I fixed it. Picked the Brinckers only because it’s the best longtail in my shop right now 😛 030 3
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 01/06/2026I was about to get offended on behalf of iced buns, but I should have realised, as an Australian, that the original British version of food is often bland. Behold, the ‘finger bun’; a moist, lightly sweet bun with fruit, coconut icing, and a good slathering of butter. Delicious. 230 3
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 30/05/2026Case in point, I was trying to find some news on the "climate coalition of the willing". DDG (and Google) do fine, your sites for some reason pull up zero results. @qwant.bsky.social , it looks like I can't even switch off of country-specific results? 000 0
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 09/04/2026Oh no. Not again. 3 more direct replies in thread from OP! Okay I'm going to stop here, because it just continues like this. 100 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 09/04/2026Oh no, there it is again. The "show more replies". Well, let's click it and see ... 100 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 09/04/2026Oh. I guess that was the last post in the thread? After all, it's just replies from other people. If the thread continued, OP's post would be shown here, directly below her last post, right? Right? Anakinpadmememe.jpeg. Let's scroll down and see if we can find anything. 100 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 09/04/2026Lo! The thread continues! Once again, it looks like this is the end of the thread. There's nothing to indicate there are more posts. But I know better, now. I shall click the last post. 100 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 09/04/2026Okay, it still looks like the thread doesn't continue, but at least I know to "show more replies". Let's click that again ... 100 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 09/04/2026Oh! Another post from OP! But it's the end of the thread, right? There's nothing to indicate that the thread continues any further. Let's click on that last post from the OP to check ... 100 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 09/04/2026If I scroll right down there's "show more replies". Hmm, surely OP's own thread wouldn't be hidden by that? Let's click it and see ... 100 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 09/04/2026So I click the "read 4 more replies". Here's where it really goes to shit. All that happens is I'm now viewing the last post from the first 5 posts that already displayed previously, with comments from others below. There's no indication that OP's thread continues. 100 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 09/04/2026It starts out okay if you're viewing the top-level post. The original post plus 4 replies are displayed, with "Read 4 more replies" telling me the thread continues. It's not correct, because there are 30+ replies from the author along with all the comments, but at least I know the thread continues. 100 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 17/02/2026r/mapswithoutnewzealand/ The site looks good beside that, though :) 131 3
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 29/09/2025Same, except for growing up in Australia. Had the same fantasies of dark European forests. The blue spots are my desired holiday destinations! I live surrounded by red 😭 110 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 29/09/2025Different but also similar story on previous holidays around German and Belgian forests. They’re almost all ‘managed’ forests, meaning people can go in and cut down trees. This is supposedly humans working with nature but it just means it’s degraded habitat. 150 5
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 29/09/2025I just got back from holidaying in the Pyrenees. Fantastic hiking, lovely! But it made me very sad that in all but some parks on the Spanish side, the entire range is overgrazed by livestock. You go hiking at 1800m and there’s sheep, cows, and grassland where there should be woodland. 140 4
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 04/05/2025Only a 0.3% swing as of last update on the Guardian vote tracker, I don’t think you can say much about that. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... 100 1
Brendan Jones @brendanjones.eurosky.social · 20/04/2025Steve is maybe looking for public transport options but I do love the cycle from DH through the Haagse forest and then into the dunes. 120 2
