@sysop408 thank you again! Yes the tap water tastes.. different

@killyourfm You had an amazing outdoor experience and perhaps the winter blah is making you feel this way. I feel the same reading my RSS feeds. I'm slowly removing tech news & replacing them with great blogs. Reading about others experiences makes me feel better. I've stopped watching & reading local news too. As we get older, I feel we have seen it all and have less patience. Especially around social media. Don't spread yourself thin on all the social networks & stay where you're happy.

@maartenpelgrim What can be done is for starters people need to stop lying about ATProto & Bluesky and stop attacking it. As I’ve stated there are legit concerns there. What should happen is focus on the shortcomings of ActivityPub, Fediverse and Mastodon, there’s so much content out there pointing the issues out. This place needs to get its own house in order first. While tending to the issues, figure out how to make this space better for people without the need for them to assimilate and capitulate, they should be able to come as they are. Speak to and listen to Black and Brown people. Stop talking about how ethical, nicer and welcoming the space is and actually earn that.

@sl007 @opsocket @openrisk @nick @stereo The meetings are public, but to participate you must sign a contract (CLA) with the W3C and declare any professional affiliations. Where are the 7 task forces listed and described? I only see 5 named on the SocialCG home page and I don't see a Policy Task Force there (I'm curious what it is).Is the December 6 meeting where the potential WG chartering is going to be discussed again? The WG will be the only group with the authority to modify the spec.

@andreab That's a good choice. I had to put it on one of my devices as I needed to contact a friend... and they are only on that platform... or IG... or FB lololol. I chose the less of the three evils. Although, I imagine my data has spread throughout the Zuck empire now

@kajer that's a password an idiot would use on their luggage

all of this to say, i await the true crime youtube episode involving this EV charger copper theft issue

@GreenFire I don't see this as an either-or.

@caleb Haha

@torb The industry doesn't seem to agree, as everyone and their mom is using or asking for React.As much as I would love for ReactJS to shrivel up and die, I fear we will not be rid of it anytime soon.

@tom this is something mastodon wants to do (quote above/first, content below/second) and i agree it’s ergonomically bettersemantically it sounds like you’re saying there’s not much to it, it is primarily just a generic link that happens to come with an embedded preview. but there is also the “about” thing.how would you refine this statement? is it sometimes/generally/always commentary? citation? something else?

"Let’s pour one out for all the poor Black Republicans who gave up their dignity and pride for Trump believing it would elevate their careers. Not a single one has been picked by Trump. Senator Tim Scott even got engaged to a real-life, human woman, and so far it’s crickets. (Look at what they make you give, POC for MAGA.)"~ Wajahat Ali#Trump #Republicans #fascism #cruelty #violence #crime #corruption /8https://thelefthook.substack.com/p/dei-for-white-supremacy-donald-trumps

First thing Windows 10 does when installed is… launch Cortana!I do not require my computer to speak aloud to me, thanks.

@emsquared can’t be long until we get the award for The Most Gratuitous Use of the Word ‘Fuck’ in a Serious Screenplay as in Adams.

@Len0w0ThinkBad social media taking less brainspace is a good thing I think, really ><

@ireneista I can never quite tell with her whether I'm looking at:1. An outright fabrication meant to mislead others for whatever reason.2. A fabrication meant to mislead herself.3. A distorted memory.

@kwramm @flaki you have to REQUEST for the pot of hot water, neat, outside of china

@GothicHippie It can be real time consuming... I usually just tap the star button on my phone when a track hits the spot. Get's auto-added to the playlist then

@Erikmitk hahaha I see what you did here

@purpleidea I'm not defending megacorps generally, not by a long shot. I'm only saying exactly what I wrote: employees of megacorporations are more constructive participants in the community on average compared to individuals with a Patreon account.
