Just log onto mastodon.social and be done with it. That’s the one that will still be running until the they turn out the lights on the service, I figure. And then go kick in a buck or two a month on Patreon to help defray development and server costs. (Not being the product is worth a donation by itself, I figure.)

Except Harris was going to drag us back towards the left. But hey, no biggie. 15 million people can’t be bothered to vote and will get who they helped elect.

Probably meant he wanted them to pay him protection money, lol.

For anyone on a different server, you can always personally defederated from a server under Settings in the Block tab at the very bottom. I eventually ended up being defederated from hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml.

Dude is gonna come back at him with the first mention of lead in the bible and say, no this is where God created lead, lol.

Thanks for that!

Cool! Since I do the occasional mountain bike ride or hike into places with zero cell service, it’s a huge plus for me to have satellite communication capabilities on the phone. Interesting they’re working it the other way too for disaster areas.

If you have an iPhone 14 on and iOS 18 you can now text via satellite during an outage too. People in NC were raving about how great it was to be able to check in with loved ones and get help.

Head wind is definitely number one for me too. EDIT: OK actually it would be snow or rain, but those really aren’t issue where I live (AZ desert).

I have literally never downloaded pirated software since OS 9 went away and OS X became a thing. Open up your task manager and look at how many processes there are (Window, Mac or Linux) and ask yourself if you’re going to notice the one extra process that is out of place.

As for files with extra extensions, this is why you should always set Explorer/Finder/whatever to show all file extensions the very first thing, regardless of what OS you’re running too.

Interesting. Luckily I only needed it to power my docking station so I can plug in power, ethernet, USB and monitor with one plug so not an issue for me luckily.

Yeah, the whole experience of going from lightning cables and mini display port and such has been less than overwhelming. I eventually had to buy a USB C from the Apple Store to get one that actually did 100W power instead of just lying about it on the box.

Season 1 wasn’t terrible. Season 2 absolutely was.

I laughed out loud multiple times watching this “unfunny” comedy special? It really felt like the Times had a hell of an axe to grind with her.

Mind you, I’ve never watched the Ellen Show even once in my life, so pretty much her standup is the only interaction I’ve ever had with her.

The Blender Guru doughnut tutorial is the winning starting tutorial IMHO.

EDIT: The one Ludrol linked to elsewhere in the comments.

The community backlash is the bug as far as Sony is concerned. They’re trying to work around it now…

Alas I returned one of those top-rated Special Ed helmets because that visor is fixed in place and therefore practically useless at sunset. Very curious to see how the POC helmets rate when they get to them!

Remember to rig the vote, folks! /s

(And remember, whenever they rage about anything insane like Harris rigging the vote, it’s always projection.)

All I want is the ability to use the freaking emojis panel on macOS. This bug was identified over a year ago and they haven’t fixed it yet, because I think they’re secretly hoping Apple will just magically fix it for them.

Cool, thanks!
