8 y/o daughter lost her hearing. Had to learn to sign. Struggled at first as none of her friends knew how to talk to her. One day I noticed our Labrador run to the treat cupboard after she signed "treat?" to her. In the absence of friends our dog had learned sign language for her

The kid on the checkout in the latest Barclays ads has produced one of the finest acting vignettes ever. Her posture, attitude, facial expressions and demeanor absolutely nail the bleak despair, numbness and thwarted ambitions of modern adulthood. Perfect.

When one of the "car accident that wasn't your fault" scammers used to call my house, I told them I was driving a DeLorean and was being chased by guys in a VW campervan. I'm amazed I got as far as telling them I need help finding Dr Brown in 1955 before they hung up.

@matrix ARe there any recordings of day 1 of the conference? The videos at:
2024.matrix.org/watch/

Only seem to show Saturdays talks, not Fridays.

Would be even more awesome to see them on #Peertube.

in reply to Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️

All the session videos will be online in the next ~week or so, and one of our speakers will be generously mirroring them on PeerTube here: video.innovationhub-act.org/c/…

And we look forward to rolling out our own official PeerTube channel before MatrixConf 2025!

That is AWESOME news, and a strong demonstration of decentralization by example.

Thankyou for the ceaseless work towards progress with #Matrix / #Element / #Synapse / #Peertube.
