@lawyersgunsnmoney everyone said I was overreacting

I’m like never overreacting when I say stuff like this.

@hacks4pancakes This is bullshit, holding your ballot until after the election 😡

@ColinTheMathmo I once sketched a design, in m6 free time (you know: as one does) for a more meritocratic implementation of democratic voting. I doubt it (or something equiv) would ever be put into practice anywhere in my lifetime, at a scale that mattered. but I felt it was important to try. and a useful intellectual exercise!

@futzle I have a work mobile, which is a bit of a legacy arrangement as we use Teams based telephony now, so in theory everyone has a "phone" on their laptop.

"The #Republicans’ losing campaign in the Lone Star state was bankrolled by #ElonMusk, the richest man in the world...

he now faces both a tax crunch on his Texas #business empire and potential federal investigations into his political activities. The Tesla founder’s extraordinary gamble – and extraordinary loss – may render his face the only red thing left in Austin." 🤣

@mdhughes i think I've set a personal record this week going four days without any form of shoe on!

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!

@jalefkowit oh, he was the guy around when laken riley passed, which kicked off the trump era ice deportation waves

actually looking at the wiki he's the guy who helped get foreign intelligence surveillance act renewed and he's getting money from palantir

but i guess that's technically holding something together

...maybe we're supposed to let that slide if we bankrupt palantir before he gets approved again????????

Forgot to provide an update, but at roughly 7:45PM, this completed.

It took an hour to get this job done.

this year was a big landmark: I've now been under HRT for longer than the Confederacy lasted.

boost if you have been on HRT for longer than 1547 days (about 4 years 2 months 27 days) or you hate the Confederacy

Guy who reacts to you telling him you're a woman the same as if you told him you don't drink or don't eat meat: oh that's cool that's cool yeah I've been considering it myself like I know I gotta reduce my toxic masculinity y'know but I just can't stop you know. I mean I've been doing it less, I'm actually mainly only a man when I go out, yeah I try to be a woman at home as much as I can but like the social pressure y'know. I don't know how you deal with it, it's really cool that you can just do that. And more and more people are becoming women too and like I probably should as well like there's plenty of woman friendly options now everywhere

@raven667 @SeanCasten I wish he still was. He was awesome while I lived in Villa Park.

@gamingonlinux I'll stick with Lutris and lgogdownloader.
