I found a typo. It said Trump named some guy named Miller as chief of staff but the correct spelling is Himmler.

@dajb Yes, Sandra wants hot water (which is a reasonable enough request!).

The mastodon.social "upgrade" has made composing posts a really annoying experience. Random things popping up in my face as I compose and move my mouse. On screen keyboard covering up the edit window. It's terrible.

I keep on shifting between apps trying to find one that feels comfortable. I haven't decided yet.

I continue to be annoyed.

Did you watch the news much when you were in your 20’s? Because i didn’t, hell I still don’t. Plus taking 50 credit hours with a little toddler baby raising them alone took every bit of my time.

@j_d Thank you for the support!

It’s weird to think that even the humanoid-style Pokémon are just… wild animals? Like, imagine a Gardevoir hunting prey and eating it like a wolf and then going to sleep in a cave somewhere

@MLE_online likely

@XYZ_123 We don't add apps to the store ourselves, but once we open up app submissions again (hopefully in the next few months), their developers would be welcome to submit it to the store!

@cancername @jn doesn't seem uncommon for embedded

@mcc haven't read the letter myself, but it's funny you mention the use of bold. I work at a different corpo and my department head always tells me to bold the text at key points, because otherwise the execs will not know where to look. This is because the company I work for is being run by people with the equivalent level of focus and engagement of a middle-schooler on a severe ketamine binge, so giving their eyes islands of bold in the text lets them comprehend at least 3 out of 10 words.

He is also watching for disloyalty now, to remember and punish those later.

This means directly targeting classical liberalism and the governments collusion with capital. Simply getting them to use mastodon or whatever does mot target the root cause.

We have 2 mobile operating systems, both under the control of American big tech oligarchs. That is not freedom. It is the illusion of choice. It is technological tyranny. Most government services require these OS’s exclusively to use many public apps and services.

Most governments are allowed to image your devices and back them up to some police state server indefinitely because you cross a border. That is not freedom or democracy. It is technological tyranny. Companies are allowed to sell you a device and brick it or completely change the value proposition without consequence. The ability to exert control over your purchased hardware and software should not even be an option for any government or corporation.

Opentherm seems to be far from openness:

Protocol is available only to members.
This is the reason why I do not want "smart" appliances in my home...
However in the "products" bottom link there are links to thermostats, maybe you can find one viable.

For the World Is Hollow and I Have Seen This in Season 4

When covid started I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t on Twitter or reddit or Facebook. I was in college, doing that and had a baby. We watched cartoons and when they slept I’d read and write. I had no idea until no one was on the road or at Walmart with me. I had no idea how to even get information about what was happening, so I went to the county website and found nothing. my professors stopped livestreaming and sent helpful information about it the same week so I got it.

Turned out the city had a Facebook page that people were getting their information from. And there was also a Twitter.

Then my kid gets to be school aged. The fucking school used Facebook and twitter to communicate with parents. I missed so many programs, and lacked information about everything that happened there.

Fucking hate it.

Damn… We should really start fighting for a world where people making the option of not using digital technologies are respected, as written in the Off-Punk Manifesto…

@ai6yr woo!

@olivenolje We have and are still open to it. Using OpenCollective has significant legal implications for us though, so it'll take time to figure out.

This post is written on https://normals.me and delivered to !fediverse@lemmy.world over #ActivityPub, so if you are reading it the basic plumbing works. Now let me explain what is this.

Normals is a forum with communities, threads, and questions with an accepted answer. It is a single instance, not software you can host, and the core is closed for anti-abuse reasons. The federation module will be published separately with implementation notes (FEP-67ff).

What federates today Every community is a Group actor following the Lemmy model (FEP-1b12). Follow @selfhosted@normals.me or any other community from Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin or Mastodon.

Posts and comments go both ways. Replies from your instance appear in the thread on Normals, replies from Normals go back to the origin.

Remote content is labelled with its origin, links back to it, and is never copied. Media loads from the source.

Signed fetches, so it works with instances that require authorized fetch. NodeInfo 2.1 is up.

Policies, in case they matter to you, it has no ads, and no paid reach, and of course no AI training on posts. AI crawlers blocked by default, public mod log with reasons, and no automated removals. Numbers at https://normals.me/transparency so please take a look.

If something from your instance shows up wrong here, or something from here shows up wrong on yours, reply with the URL and I'll fix it. Andy Piper mentioned NodeBB uses the same group model, if anyone runs a NodeBB instance I'd like to test against it, if possible.

I hope we all have fun. Cheers!
