After BLM protests, city voted to defund PPB. They said fine, we’re not going to donour jobs then. The city responded by increasing their salaries higher than before. They still don’t do their jobs, because why would they?

Yeah, ever since switching to Bluefin, it’s been a dream. I don’t have to fight the laptop or myself when I do something stupid.

And then our states can finally stop paying for their states to drag us back to the dark ages.

Owning people as chattel: stop focusing on the negativity! Wearing masks and not dying from preventable diseases: literal slavery.

We need to figure out the mechanism for not sending taxes to the federal government to then give to the regressive states holding us back. Let them live in their Libertarian dystopia.

Three teenagers rang his door as a prank, and his response is to get in his car, follow them, and then mow them down? Totally reasonable. He was clearly just defending himself. 🙄

Damn, someone beat me to it!

Yeah, that’s the part I’m having trouble with. Can’t decide on something serious, easy to communicate and that I like. Definitely a me problem.

I have a domain and an email address through it, but my problem is I can’t find a domain name I like enough to both keep and give out to others as a long term contact point. The one I have right now is silly, and not easy to communicate over the phone.

It’s a me problem, but if I ever figure out something I’m will to keep and is available, that’s the goal.

I’ll probably go with one of the other roms on an older phone or possibly one of the Linux phones. It won’t be exactly what I want, but it’ll be better than their walled garden bullshit. That’s precisely why I left Apple way back when.

Do it! It’s not that bad. Everyone’s got different needs, but I switched to fastmail and have been enjoying it.

Seconded on do it. It’s a lot better than it was even a few years ago.

Last one.

The Fediverse is “hard” because you have to pick a server. And that’s apparently enough to stop normies from going any further.

Ugh, I know that too. I almost even said after Carter put them up. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Like Nixon did with the solar panels.

Yeah, Mastodon is like Twitter, Pixelfed is like IG, Owncast is like Twitch, Friendica is like Facebook etc. They all connect and talk to each other to some extent, but you’re not going to get a great experience using Pixelfed (and app for photos) to stay up to date on someone’s Mastodon post.

No. Technically you only need one account for the entire Fediverse, but in reality you need one per service you use in depth. So one for Lemmy, one for Mastodon, one for Pixelfed, etc.

I got mine recently in a dxent aized city and while there are plenty of nodes popping up on the map, the local channel is pretty quiet. Is that normal?
