Chocochili pyytää apuamme:

”Sivuston pyörittämiseen kuuluvat palvelinmaksut tulevat kalliiksi näillä lukijamäärillä ja tietysti reseptien kehittelyyn kuluu paljon rahaa. Tähän asti olen saanut sivuston pyörimään mainosrahoitteisesti sponsoroiduilla sisällöillä, mutta viime vuosina mainostajat eivät ole olleet kiinnostuneita nettisivujen mainossisällöistä ja talouden kiristyessä myös somessa yhteistyökumppaneiden löytäminen on ollut koko ajan vaikeampaa.”

Also we are not sure yet if this is going to happen or not, but we have decided we want to merge our accounts together. So @preciousoso, and the rest of us can post on one account. Mainly so that we dont have to maintain two, and also because we want to just be us. not just her and then us, or not just us, and she is separated. So I am not sure how that will work. - Lily

THe USA (as well as the rest of the world, maybe not including China) would have a serious problem if there was no internet. Systems would fail. Airplanes wouldn't fly. Powerr and heating would eventually go out. Grocery shopping would be impossible (no credit cards, no ATMs, no ability to restock). Same with telecoms (they're more resilient than everybody else, but they'd likely succumb to the same fate sooner or later).

But there is an easier way. @pluralistic has the gist of it.

Repeal the portion of Harper's C-11 where DRM override Canadian rights. Make repairing things legal. Also cancel the copyright extension.

Put back the DST (but the banker would never dare to do so) to encompass these "rental services" mentionned above. Tax Uber, Lyft and other "gig economy". You should be able to reconcile that from the tax information and send them the bill.

Sadly all of these require courage.

Hi everyone. It's a balmy -5 right now. Later the windchill is expected to be -35. Needless to say this woman is not going anywhere. Right now I'm listening to Highway 61 revisited, one of my favorite radio shows on WUMB. Albert O is so good at presenting some lesser played classic music. Right now he's doing a Neil Diamond set as it's his 85th birthday. I'm just going to read, knit and maybe watch a movie later. Have a good day and staywarm and safe!

Sounds like a plan. I don't think I've ever experienced that kind of windchill in my life. (I remember Eloquence pronouncing windchill like "windkill," which seems appropriate sometimes. I wonder if it still does.) Sometimes I used to have to walk to the commuter rail station with a windchill of -15 F when I was up there, and it wasn't fun, but I'm pretty sure that was the most cold I've ever had to experience.
We're getting freezing rain here, and people are advised to stay off the roads if at all possible. I was going to go to a meetup later today, but now it's happening over Zoom. It might get down into the teens in some places, and it's kind of an issue mostly because we don't normally prepare for that kind of cold. Freeze shelters need to open, pipes aren't very well insulated, and so on. But it isn't nearly as cold as what you're getting up there.

RE: mastodon.social/@randahl/11594…

I want to pitch in on what @randahl said in the attached post.

During my youth I was raised on a diet of U.S. culture: the Ponderosa Ranch felt as familiar as the bridge of the USS Enterprise.The good night to John boy was often also the signal for me that I had to go to bed now. From the moment I earned my own money, I started spending as many vacations in the United States as my budget allowed.

Most of the books I have read and I am reading have been written by U.S. authors. Most of the movies and TV series I see were made by Hollywood companies. A significant part of my verbal and written output is in a language different from my mother tongue.

Today I would say that my command of the English language, my knowledge of U.S. history and culture easily surpasses that of the current commander in chief.

But other than with Randahl, the cracks in the relationship started to show much earlier. When I came to the U.S. in October 2001, it felt like a different country. I no longer felt welcome and therefore no longer came visiting.

A friend of mine, who was working in the U.S. at that time and who was on his way to earning a U.S. citizenship was told by a border agent: "Shut up little shit, I can do with you whatever I want." His sin was to point out the regulations my friend knew much better than that agent. He terminated his job at the next occasion.

There were many such moments and every time, another fatigue fracture in my relationship to the United States appeared.

Trump is for me just the nail in the coffin. It is very big and tough nail, because he was elected a second time. Everyone knew what kind of man they elected. And they chose to do so nonetheless. I cannot and will not forget that.

I see the protests, I hear the voices of dissent but I also see the big passive masses, that accept what is happening. It is the same kind of silence my ancestors emitted when Hitler started his run.

Yes, I still have a lot of friends and other people in the U.S. I feel attached to and care a lot about. But for the country as a hole, I no longer give a damn fuck.

In my job "Pacta sunt servanda" is a very important phrase. I cannot do my work without trust.

I am convinced that the current U.S. will not abide any contract, any agreement, any promise if the big orange baby doesn't see a personal advantage in it. And I cannot have a relationship with someone I do not respect and trust.

It's as simple as that.

I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.

No matter whom I listen to, the feeling is the same: Our bilateral relationship is dead.

I grew up in a country filled with gratitude towards The US, because of The Normandy Landings. The US was loved.

The feeling now is anger. Our Kingdom has been threatened twice in 100 years: Hitler's occupation and Trump's attempted annexation of Greenland.

It saddens me, but I sense this will not easily be forgotten.

If you think Hollywood has always been the bastion of free speech, defending, I have a bridge to sell you.

Notably read about the "Hayes Code" established by a Republican Chairman of the now MPA.

Or the Hollywood "blacklist" (that's how it was called) banning suspected communist writer, directors, actors, from being hired. "Cancelling" was already happening.

When Replicans complain about cancelling, remember it always points back to them.

JEDEM KRÜPPEL SEINEN KNÜPPEL.

Ja, auch heute, 45 Jahre nach dem Start des Jahres der Behinderer. Vielleicht mehr als je zuvor.

Wir als Behindertenbewegung müssen wieder radikaler werden. Lauter. Unverschämter.

Wir alle müssten jeden Ableismus stärker kontern und jedes hohle Versprechen klar benennen, wie es z.B. das einzelne Heldy das letztes Jahr beim Global Disability Summit in Berlin während der Rede des damaligen Bundeskanzlers tat.

Wer erzählt uns von den Kindern mit Trisomie 21, die nicht abgetrieben werden? Von den ME/CFS-Patient*innen, deren Krankheit endlich sinnvoll erforscht und geheilt wird? Von den Autist*innen, die in der Gesellschaft ohne zu maskieren existieren können?

Niemand tuts. Und warum? Weil das System uns überhaupt nicht die Gelegenheit dazu gibt.

Als ich das letzte Mal hier von blinden Sterneköchen sprach, sind darunter andere Blinde geslided, die sagten, das wäre unmöglich.

Auch in der digitalen Barrierefreiheitsarbeit höre ich immer wieder „vollständige Barrierefreiheit ist nicht möglich“.

Ja, wenn man das denkt und nicht über den eigenen Tellerrand und die gegebenen systemischen Möglichkeiten hinaus blickt, dann kann das nix werden.

Der Faschismus ist da, und er drängt uns schon jetzt wieder aus der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung.

Wo „letzte Generation Behinderte“? Wo „linke“ Gruppen, die das auf dem Schirm haben?

Alerta, alerta!

Privatadresse. Anbieter für ladungsfähige Anschriften sind wirklich sehr teuer (~100 Euro im Monat).

Bei der Impressumspflicht muss der Gesetzgeber dringend nachbessern. Für Einzelunternehmer im Homeoffice ist das komplett unverhältnismäßig.

Auf der anderen Seite bringt mir das als Verbraucher auch überhaupt nichts zu wissen, dass Meta in 1 Mark Zuckerberg Drive, San Francisco, California seinen Sitz hat. Verklagen kann ich die trotzdem nicht.

Nicht unbedingt. Gäbe die Möglichkeit sich bei der Post n Postfach zu besorgen was je nachdem 4-5€ im Monat kostet und man dann als Anschrift angeben kann. Nachteil muss man halt jedes mal dann hinfahren / laufen aber wär ne Möglichkeit die Privatadresse geheim zu halten. ^^

Ironically, core GNOME apps have generic names. Plus, you can’t use GNOME branding unless you’re part of the GNOME project. If you target the GNOME environment, though, you are a “GNOME app”, in the same way you have iOS apps, Android apps, Windows apps, etc

"The blood was only ever a means to an end," the vampire confessed in the interview.

"To what end?" the reporter asked.

"Blood carries vigor, life force, vital energy. That's what we feed on."

"So how do you get it, if not through blood?"

"These days, we make doom scrolling apps to drain it."

Over the last year I have stopped approximately 1070€ of annual subscription costs to US products in our family.

In our company, we're in process of stopping somewhere between 20k€ to 25k€ annuals subscription fees to US products.

I know I'm not the only one, and our company isn't alone doing these changes.

We have a lot of people in Europe. If we all shift a portion of our reccurring monthly costs to European products, it will make a huge difference.

🇪🇺 💪
