Please people who put on events I'm begging you, have a mailing list or a physical website where I can look up dates in advance. Just saw a post on Instagram about a craft workshop I would have liked to go to but didn't see before hand, asked the artist if she had a mailing list and was told "no but I post all my upcoming workshops on Instagram and Facebook". I don't think a lot of people realise these don't show most of your posts to your followers, and what they do show isn't chronological?
Lots of people can't use FB cos of the real name policy or it making you visible to stalkers/harassers or similar.
I have an FB but I hardly ever use it, if an event only organises via FB I won't be going. It's a social justice issue to put event info somewhere properly publicly accessible that doesn't track users.

Interesting choices. Hiding proprietary services and software among OpenSource software 🤔 and worst of all, having software that are locked-in and taking data out of them is super painful and calling them "best"?
For those who wonder, these are things that I have used that you should avoid because they will lock your information and you will suffer to take them out: - Tutanota (I was premium user for multiple years) - Authy - Wire
Kleiner Fehler hat sich wohl bei den Suchmaschinen eingeschlichen. Ecosia besitzt ein s zu viel sowie das alte Logo. Und direkt unten drunter hat sich der Fennec ein weiteres mal eingeschlichen
- Yubico Authenticator is cool and credentials are portable across devices - startpage if need use google anyway - Element for chat - Librewolf for browser
Two things keep me with gmail despite it being run by Google: tags/labels and the solid GUI. I don't send anything I care about unencrypted and I would love to completely abandon Google. Do you have plans to support tags?
My current ear worm, "1952 Vincint Black Lightning" by Richard Thomson, fantastic guitar work, great writing, so catchy and enthralling, the rhythm/story voice are on repeat in my head and I don't mind! youtube.com/watch?v=5yw2yKNLEP…

So if my wife ever needed a miracle now would be the time. The pain from the leukemia is growing worse and worse. And it looks like she is headed for hospice very soon. Her blood counts are not rising as quickly as everyone would’ve liked. Which is what they used to determined after each cycle if the chemo is still working or not. The chemo is keeping her alive. They call it maintenance chemo. She has acute my leukemia with a TP 53 mutation. Basically it makes the type of leukemia extremely difficult to treat and almost impossible to eradicate. A bone marrow transplant is out of the question, Since the doctors are 99% sure it would kill her. Also, her heart cannot handle more toxic forms of chemotherapy. I am asking everybody to pray for my wife. So for those of you who believe in the power of prayer, please share this. I am not a very religious person, I don’t go to church every Sunday, but I am a very spiritual person.#Health #Healing #Medicine #Prayer #Hope #God #Jesus #Christian.#Fediverse #Leukemia #Cancer
I wonder, what would’ve happened if WaPo just ran the endorsement - was Bezos gonna run down to the printer and shut off the press? Turn off the web site.
I know that it’s easy to say this, but… if I was EIC or whatever, I’d have tried to run the endorsement anyway. social.coop/@chrisjrn/11338000…
Air Canada has this cool system now where there are no human employees at the check in counter at all, and instead you register your baggage with a little touch screen and place it on a conveyor belt, and then the touch screen displays an error, and there's nothing you can do because there are no fucking human employees present to deal with it
We’re living in times where our information is the new gold. Thus, it is not uncommon for companies to harvest information of users, mainly intended to
Now that I have a new and improved screenshot workflow, I’m pondering whether to add more to the book. The low-vision chapter is already the most visual chapter of the whole damn thing. Maybe I just like playing with screenshot frames and image shortcuts.
Vždy keď vám pristane takáto chobotina v inboxe, môžete si ťukať na čelo, že veď predsa na takúto hlúposť nemôže nikto naletieť... Ibaže, ak by to tak bolo, nespamovali by nás tým už celé roky. Takže pozor - dajte vedieť napr. aj svojim rodičom, či starým rodičom, že toto je chobotina nonplusultra, možnože to potrebujú počuť.
Anybody remember the Toronto free ISP that would serve up ads in exchange of the free internet? This is back in 2000-ish. Nothing like dialing up on a 56k modem, only to be slowed down by ads.
I need to write about something that’s painful to put out there for me, but I need to because I know there are other people also in my position. Also apologies for the thread. I’ve seen a huge amount of calls in the past day for people to cancel their #AmazonPrime in response to the #WaPo chickening out and not endorsing Kamala Harris. In principle, I do not disagree. At all. But for me, there’s one huge, and ultimately insurmountable, problem. #Amazon has become a necessity for me. (1/3)
Not only do I agree with you but I think this whole issue is just stupid. We live in a free society: if the owner of a newspaper doesn't want his paper to endorse a certain candidate, that's his right. Personally, I rely on news services for news and not for them to tell me who I should vote for or who they endorse. In spite of the fact that we live in a country that supposedly values freedom, you'll find yourself criticized and persecuted if you don't publicly hold to certain opinions or support certain candidates. I say to hell with all of that. Kevin, keep buying from Amazon if that's what you need to do. I know that I will.
Privacy Lock offers an extra layer of security on top of Android’s built-in features – like "shake to lock". Its next release should show the "green shield".
Whoop! It's officially Winter time in the UK... Sunset at 4:54PM today.
Bring on the log fires, candlelit evenings, home-made stews and soups, weekends making Christmas cake and duck confit, roast chestnuts, baggy jumpers and extra fluffy socks!
Just had my first Starbucks coffee in nearly 10 years. I remember why I liked it, but I also remember why I gave it up. $7 for a large White Chocolate Mocha is a bit steep. It was good, but not what I want to pay on a regular basis.
I struggled in my last workplace because I'd be seeing 9 or 10 students individually over a given day sometimes. I'd move from NVDA to JAWS to SuperNova, iOS to android to Keysoft and back, and then you got the odd student who were themselves in transition so would bring a different device on a different day.
@daygar I'd love to say I can agree with proverbs 3:27. But it's this whole idea of 'those who deserve it'. Don't withhold the good from them. You can withhold it if they don't deserve it. And we'll tell you who those are.
@cachondo Depends what your faith is. I'm a Christian, and Christ told us to love our enemies and forgive those who have wronged us, because that's what he came to do for us. So in short, we all deserve it.
@daygar well that's a very accepting and nicely broad definition of being deserving. shame the history of almost every religion doesn't see the leaders living up to those standards. As a message, I am all for a lot of religious communication. But I'm afraid the reality is often and very sadly harder to accept.
@cachondo I agree. History has given just about every religion a bad name. While I admire their enthusiasm, their discernment is something else entirely. But only God truly knows and can therefore judge our hearts and intentions.
outside of the Pound sign as a religious symbol, the Star of David with a cross inside is Messianic Judaism, which is an offshoot of US Evangelical Christians
What makes a password strong now? How long should it be? How often should you change it? Here's what the cybersecurity pros at NIST recommend - some of which may surprise you.
What is nice is when the camera vendors use that small footprint to do something that is still challenging with a phone.
I picked up an Olympus TG-6 some time back, and love it. Maybe it just scratches my particular itches: robust, waterproof (50', more with housing), and does beautiful macro shots out of the box.
Apple earned a mixed victory in a patent infringement lawsuit against Masimo after a federal jury found that Masimo had infringed on some Apple patents.
