Title is misleading, FTA:
Confirmation that I am 63% British and Irish, 17% Danish and otherwise “broadly north-western European”. I felt a resounding ambivalence about the results, including some disappointment that I had not discovered a newfound heritage – a piece of information that would give my identity new dimension.
But also:
My father’s side of the family is meticulous about tracking our ancestry, with records that hold the name of the exact small village in Ireland our ancestors hail from.
Those results often can’t narrow down to exact countries so it says he’s 63% British and Irish. Seeing as his fathers family has records of being from a small Irish town it’s likely he’s more Irish that British, not that it means anything if you’re actually American anyway.
I see your point but do you really have that level of complexity on the fediverse?
You pick an instance, create an account and then browse; much like you would pick an email provider, create an account, and email your friends.
Sure if you’re setting up your own domain for email, or configuring a mail client to work with your email provider, then you have to deal with these things but in my opinion the analogy works reasonably well. Maybe I am being dense.
It’s wild that no one ever had a problem with this with email and yet this is apparently so confusing they abandon it.
Aren’t you tired of being labelled?
Don’t you want to stop dividing people?
Ah yes, flying to Cop28 climate summit in my private jet…
Ok ignoring the fact that this isn’t a speaker, if it was and the question is what would I play on a speaker this size, then probably this.
I have a copy of The Weather Wizards Cloud Book in my day bag which is a nice little guide to identify what clouds are up above and which might come next. It’s pretty neat.
Yeah it’s called Pasta ca’muddica and has a whole bunch of variations such as adding anchovies.
The birth of the internet and the birth of the world wide web are two differnet things though: The world wide web started in 1989.
