Maybe they unzipped the archive? /S

This sounds like a client problem. Modern Lemmy has community blocks as part of the insurance user profile. Have you tried web client or another app?

Is that why the car has the little horse shaped badge on it?

Happens with TV shows all the time

Strictly speaking, you cannot make an ISO from an audio CD. Yes, you can make a bin cue file pair as another commenter has suggested. But realistically what you’ve then got is uncompressed wav audio with the metadata in separate files. The only real advantage this gives you is something that theoretically allows you to recreate precisely the original layout of the audio CD, together with the appropriate length of silence in between the tracks, etc.

When you convert to FLAC there is no loss in audio quality, you use approximately half of the storage space compared to wav, and you can have all of the metadata such as tags and art images embedded in the file itself.

Bin/cue is not really very useful unless you’re not listening directly from a computer or burning to a CD and listening to that. For every other use case, it’s better to have a file that you can play directly and index directly.

Sorry, only just seen this. I don’t work in this sector I am afraid. Some things that might help you:

• There is no legal definition of a ‘valid’ address in the UK- If you post it then the Post Office will try to deliver it. If they can work it out from what is written, and they will try very hard, then that’s ‘an address’. This has been established in law.
• There is advice on how you should write an address . This is how e.g. a bank or utility will address mail, but see above. TBH at this point you could probably put a What3Words on the envelope and it could work.
• For most addresses in the UK you will want to correlate the postcode with the street address, as shown here. A street address is a number (or house name, or both) and a street name on one line, e.g. ‘29 Acacia Road’. Street address + Postcode is how people target e.g. a satnav to an address. A postcode generally relates to a group of addresses, but larger organisations, e.g. a hospital or council office will have a postcode just for them, e.g. ‘Buckingham Palace’. Beware that whilst postcodes don’t change, new ones are being added all the time and they aren’t sequential.

Cuts both ways however:

It’s common to encounter, especially HR Portals, trying to enforce a ‘valid’ address. Trouble is it’s often an American developer and they have no idea about other countries. Here in the UK they like to insist on a 'county ’ field for postal address, despite it being over thirty years since postal addresses here even had counties (which didn’t match the actual counties but anyway). The drop down list they like to give isn’t a list of counties either, it’s an out of date list of local authorities, which were never part of anyone’s address.

I worked at a place once where we had to use an internally developed form to order supplies. Form checked user name against company active directory (fine) but also checked that surname+first initial was at least 6 characters. No idea why and very resistant to changing it but my surname is 4 characters and a lot of Chinese ones are only 2…

Unsurprisingly it’s available on the seven seas. Unfortunately it’s not worth the voyage.

These are on the decline these days in favour of gender neutral terms, e.g.

• Chair/chairperson
• Spokesperson
• Actor
• Firefighter
• Police officer
• Paramedic

Yes there’s a lot of them

I feel this and some of the other comments in this thread are missing the point. It’s not about me and my followers. It’s about the news sources and topics that I search for or follow. They simply haven’t moved to Mastodon and where notable individuals that I follow have tried, it simply hasn’t worked out due to lack of interest. I’m not interested in the fediverse as a topic in itself, I’m interested in the topics and events I want to follow. Something happens and I can find and read and watch clips about it on Twitter. Not so Mastodon.

people I follow

I’ve been on Mastodon for over a year and the content simply isn’t there. Several of the people that I follow on Twitter have tried moving or duplicating to Mastodon. They’ve had a fraction of the visibility and engagement from commenters that they would get on Twitter. Invariably after a few months they have essentially given up on it as a primary medium. For me the discoverability is essentially non-existent, which I don’t think is helped by the idea of it being based around instance-local communities, which have no meaning when you’re looking at something like Twitter.

Thank you

Thanks, further information could be interesting. Do you know if it requests connectivity on every startup?

My reason for stipulating that is that lot of people saying it do so either from ignorance (they simply don’t believe/understand that you might not be able to opt out) or on the basis of outdated information, e.g. “I bought my TV ten years ago and never had to do this”. Your experience being in the recent past I guess I could try this as a sale stipulation point, thanks.

Thanks!. Two posters suggesting I try here so I’ll try that first and maybe this forum if not because what I want to ask about is a TV so not audio!

You should celebrate with some upside down cake
