On Planet Mosen, there would be know messing with time at all. But if we must do it, vote for me, and I will move the implementation of daylight saving so that it happens at 9 AM on a Monday.
The device would be called the RIMBook and would run a custom distro of Linux called RIMux. It would have just enough CPU, memory, and disk to have a decent screen reader and RIM. The screen reader would be used to get you connected to RIM and start controlling another machine you already have. This, in fact, is the entire purpose of the RIMBook, a sort of dummy computer used to control another computer somewhere else. The point here is, you probably have to do some sort of log in to start controlling the other machine, so if your RIMBook gets lost, stolen, left behind somewhere, etc. you're out the money, but there's no personal info left behind. And oh yes, your purchase of a RIMBook includes a license to use RIM on that machine to gain remote, unattended access to one of your other machines.
The three stages of finding out that old games still exist and are on steam. Like emergency 2:
1. Oh I loved that game as a kid! I need it!
2. That's so beautiful!
3. God damn it! How do I get this stupid monkey into the cage??!
Or Disney Hercules:
1. How did they get this onto steam?? I need it!
2. Like I remember it! So great!
3. Fuck you, you damn Titan and your shitty collision box!
@Bubu the only games I replay are story games where this does not matter and challenge games where you need to know how to play it... I even suck at tetris but also in hades when placing it aside for a month 🫠
We know — and our rulers certainly know — that if we are to have any hope of preserving even a limited version of today’s complex modern society, greenhouse gas emissions MUST go down, swiftly and urgently.
But instead, emissions continue going up and up and up. It is literally suicidal.
So, WHY haven't we stopped burning fossil fuels?
Because there are profits to be made. Huge, massive, irresistibly tempting profits.
In a sane world, these actions would be seen as criminal.
Perpetrators like fossil fuel executives, their financiers, and the politicians who enable them, would be arrested, charged, tried, and convicted, with assets forfeited to pay for mitigation and reparations.
But we do not live in a sane world.

Nemám rád jeseň / zimu. To počasie v našich končinách ma zabíja.
Chcel som, naivne, urobiť správnu vec a šľahnúť si kombo vakcínu covid+chrípka...
U obvoďáka? Zabudnite. Pekne cez ten šialený registračný formulár... len aby som zistil, že sa očkuje IBA v Banskej Bystrici!
A potom budú pindať do telky, ako sa ľudia nechcú očkovať a nie je záujem. #štátibaomylom

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Boosts 
!
First, yes! You should absolutely boost the posts that you like on Mastodon! 
Boosting (reposting) is a very important feature on Mastodon! Because there are no algorithm to push content in your timeline, it is what others post and repost that you see chronologically.
Boosting keeps Mastodon alive!
Do it! Boost it! 
That being said,
if you personally get annoyed by someone else's boosts, know that you have options:
1. Everyone should enable the "Group boosts in timelines" option. You can find it from the browser interface in "Preferences" > "Other" at the very top. This will hide new boosts for posts that have been recently boosted 
2. You can hide all of someone's boosts without hiding their original posts. Go to the person's profile, select the 3-dot "Menu" button (in the browser interface, this will vary per mobile app), and select "Hide boosts from [handle]" 
3. You can mute someone's posts temporarily (boosts and originals). On the same "Menu", select "Mute [handle]" then "Show options." You can select between 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days 🤐
4. Know also that you are more likely to notice someone boosting a post repeatedly if you follow few people. Because there are no algorithm here, it is also a good idea to follow more people. Especially if you find your timeline too quiet 
5. Don't forget to boost the posts that you like! 
✨
I’ve been feeling like that since I got my license recently
I can go get shit, oh god
It’s so surreal to think about

Такое бывает? Могу я купить старые кассеты и магнитофон и хранить на кассетах терабайты данных?

#Tuvalu, likely first modern country to become uninhabitable, has new plan for keeping control of fishing rights even if its land disappears by #climatechange.
#LawOfTheSea treaty says sea territory, fishing rights only exist with reference to land territory, but is silent on what happens when land changes, disappears. Tuvalu has multi-pronged strategy to form intl consensus that sea borders remain if their land disappears.

Capitalism is corporation telling you got sold something while it's not, it's just a loan at their leisure and then can taketh away.
Exhibit: software, media.
Capitalism is also corporations convincing you to give them something for free and then selling it to others like it is theirs.
Exhibit: 23andMe, Facebook.

True story. I once showed up at the office in Germany wearing a "World Container" t-shirt, from the Tragically Hip 2007 tour (didn't attend) and album.
I was asked "is that from a Docker conference?"

Two and a half weeks are left, to make the official European Citizens Initiative #TaxTheRich work!
We still need 690,000 signatures, which sounds like a lot, but for a union of 450 million people, it should be a piece of cake!
We also still need 4 more countries to reach their national threshold of supporters:
BE, NL, IT, ES, SE are on a good way.
If you are an #EU citizen, and have not signed yet:
What are you waiting for?

What I really want from technology these days is passivity. Physical buttons, and PASSIVITY.
No guessing, no anticipating, no predicting.
No autofill, no autocorrect, no autodrive and PLEASE God no autoplay.
Just be inert until acted upon!
Hi.
So, the Inbox rules is available for paying users only right? (not available on mobile, too?)
That's not cool, I think.
Blocking someone is a basic privacy feature, right? Why is it paywalled?

in reply to Eden Linnea • • •The examiners of my Ph.D. thesis identified, as best I can remember, three or four textual errors - mostly capitalization, as I remember. There were one or two errors discovered later that they didn't find. The thesis was written and edited with both text to speech and a Braille display (operating simultaneously), and completely reviewed with the Braille display, then typeset with LaTeX. 224 pages of main text, if I remember rightly.
