My DV advocate has been working to find us safe housing! In the meantime, I'm also working on an application for a part-time job that could be a great fit, and continuing to look for legal help while doing as much as I can independently.

PLEASE help us get legal help, a car, and everything else we need to survive ♥️

Unfortunately we didn't get the transitional DV housing we were hoping for 💔 and still can't go home as emergency restraining order was denied. This goal is for legal funds but housing support is also urgent!

When Andre (@Onj) randomly reached out offering to produce drums for a collaboration, it just so happened that was working on a song and was having trouble getting drums that sounded right. It was perfect timing and he did an amazing job. Check out the links on Andre’s profile to check out his work! He’s a real talent and an awesome human.

Our collaboration is now up on #Bandcamp for #BandcampFriday if you want a copy for yourself.

A lady went to a salon to get her hair done. While the stylist was working, she noticed a handsome man sitting quietly in the shop.

Suddenly, the lady turned to him and said, “Sir, you’re so handsome. Can we meet later today?”

The man replied, “I’m married.”

The woman continued, “And so? You can just tell your wife you’re going to visit a friend in the hospital, and from there…”

The man calmly replied, “Tell her yourself—she’s the one doing your hair.”

In Japan, trees in the path of urban development or road construction are often relocated rather than cut down. This reflects the country’s deep respect for nature and commitment to environmental preservation.

Using specialized techniques, experts carefully bind and protect the roots before transplanting the tree to a new location.

This approach ensures the preservation of greenery while allowing infrastructure projects to move forward.

Ugh, we're sorry that's happening! Increased memory usage can have several different causes, so we'd definitely you to either reach out to our community on Mozilla Support (support.mozilla.org) or to file a bug report on bugzilla (bugzilla.mozilla.org) - we'd definitely encourage reading this article first! wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:T…

Wow. It sure doesn't seem like the Bluesky PBC CEO likes her current users very much. This is pretty incredible. Feel like we've seen this movie before.

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings you 12 updated apps. Our ongoing gardening activity cleaned out 2 no longer maintained apps which where also rarely downloaded anymore:

* Ylight Music: a Youtube Music client, which was reported to us as … behaving strangely
* widgets-for-auto: Android Auto widgets, with several proprietary components and also only few downloads

As it goes with gardening, our other plants are now better visible 🤗

Enjoy the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:

Running 14.3-STABLE right now. Intel iwlwifi driver with an Intel AX210 card giving me full 250/40 Mbps (the maximum of my DSL line) via WiFi :)

Random connection issues, that I had with -RELEASE are solved in the current -STABLE 🙂

5Ghz, 802.11ac with 80Mhz wide channel...

We're making fast progress with FreeBSD on the modern desktop 🙂

If you're helping people sign up on here, that's great! 👏

However, I'd strongly suggest not signing up on the mastodon.social server. It's way way too large and that's dangerous (here's why fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-ide…).

I know some find choice overwhelming, so if you just want one general long-established very busy server mas.to is a better option for example.

There are also lots of other good servers listed at fedi.garden and joinmastodon.org/servers

FWIW I'm reasonably sure Facebook never supported XMPP federation. They supported logging in via XMPP with a regular XMPP client (c2s) but they didn't support s2s. Meaning you could only chat with other Facebook users.

GTalk had federation and it was somewhat bad when they shut that down. But I don't remember Facebook's XMPP access being very relevant for the larger ecosystem.

I just had to uninstall vipre advanced security because sometimes when I would reboot the computer, my whole internet on my desktop wasn't connected. I would reboot, and it would fix its self, and then if I had to reboot again, it would break my internet again. I don't have time to try to figure out why in the sam hell it would break my internet that bad. I did try turning the firewall off, checking for internet, and there was nothing, and turning it back on, and still nothing. sometimes when I would go check, it was already turned off, but I had no internet at all on my desktop. That was fun while it lasted, but I am not paying for something that decided to sometimes cause me to have absolutely no internet access when I reboot the computer. back to microsoft defender I go I guess.

@vol4life8657 @lino_jr yeah avast is not a bad option actually. I think that the smart scan thing can also be disabled in it, and you do have a lot of control. Who knows, might switch, not like I don't have 30 days to cancel this one. Well now like 28. LOL. Still, I got tired of Defender's inability to customize scan schedule and what happens for so-called "catch-up scans." Like when a scan is interrupted in the background by a reboot and then what. I don't want it continuing then, I want it to restart the full scan. things like that I need perfect LOL

Pitermach reshared this.

I've tried all the new-fangled web design apps, and I’ve decided to stick with building with raw JS, HTML, and (S)CSS. There's just no need in most cases for all the cruft those apps generate. These days you don't even need big JS/CSS libraries for most things. I can make the same page 1/10th (or less) of the size of what visual web dsign apps are going to make.

I don't want to sound curmudgeonly about it, but I think these apps are making the web a little worse. It's starting to feel like we're back in the Dreamweaver days.
