Love your mail, I also use @ente auth for 2FA and @bitwarden to securely store my passwords. As for chat apps, I can recommend @revoltchat and @session (got my parents to use it lol:)). @bravebrowser as the browser, @crystal_linux as the OS on my main PC.
The old #cat magic worked on Egyptians the same as on my humans. @anna and @stepan should be glad that I quite like them. I didn't make them sculpt it out of stone but only out of #snow.
y’all really have not have The Real America™ burn down your little garden patch, throw out your groceries in a dumpster or literally barge into your church’s breakfast room all because you were Native, Black or Latino.
am not saying don’t do mutual aid.
am only saying your definition of healing scarcity doesn’t deal with racism.
A couple folks have brought up a great concern regarding "Free Fridges" and Post-Scarcity Mutual Aid Food Distribution:
(I will not link the specific threads here as to discourage brigading).
when it comes to “mainstream” spaces, events, actions, grants, jobs, stop telling BIPOC to just show up. stop with the “we are in this together” nonsense.
no, some animals are more equal than others.
so put your bodies on the line when telling BIPOC, this is for you too. be prepared to fight and get nasty for it to be real mutual aid.
as i have said before, jokingly, it’s not fascism if it doesn’t happen to white people, it’s only sparkling racism.
LAST THING i love Max Miller’s work. he says he’s not a historian, but i call bullshit. he not only flexes with his use of primary sources; he is amazing in using food history to make powerful political commentary by letting the facts speak for themselves.
watch this episode on school pizza. wait for when he drops the backstory about the Black Panthers school breakfast program and how Hoover went as far as poisoning their food to stop their #mutualAid program:

started reading section 4 of your book and I like how concise and to-the-point it is. Also, I'm pleasantly surprised that the UI that displays it allows me to skip to navigate with arrow keys.

A reminder, for January, that you have a normal, human body, that may currently be a little larger than it was in December because of all the cheese, but that's ok:
I agree and I name the solution - trust your body, listen to it - it tells you when it's hungry, it tells you when it's full, it even suggests the best food you should eat... we just need to regain what was natural to us before and what remains to be still natural to those, and every one knows a "lucky" people like this, who are with "normal" bodies yet they "can eat everything" while not working out like crazy.
It's called #intuitivenutrition or #intuitiveeating, if you will, and even though it may sound like plain BS, it's not. It works. It doesn't ask for monthly subscription, nor tells you to live out of thin air.
Give it a try, read one book, think about it, trust your body, feed it when hungry, think why you want to eat, give yourself time to enjoy the food and stop eating when not hungry - you can get back to it later, when you get hungry again...
I used to be frustrated bulky always dieting guy. I'm not anymore. This has changed my life.
I wanted to play with home automation for a while now so yesterday I bought a few lights in Ikea, fired up a Home Assistant and made a webhook that I added to my GitLab, so...
When it first turned red I had the idea to also start a boss fight music when build breaks, maybe even an audio countdown 😅
Hmm, I could make a little simple gadget that works like a Tamagotchi, which gets angrier/more frustrated with each build failure or with long standing fails.

My jsme to chodili v Beskydech x let zpátky. Třebáaaa....osm? Akorát bez auta se nám to dost blbě stíhalo všechno, s tím, kolik bylo času. A teď už si to píšu jen občas, necíleně. 🙂
Jojo, taky jsme to tak začali brát, nebo aspoň já. 🙂 Většinou lítám po kopcích celkem dost, tak spíš to beru jako log, kde jsem "letos" všude byl a kdy. 🙂
Díky @archos za superfast help desk. Wallabag funguje. Dva postřehy: - nefungují články z idnes (chyba idnesu) - v návodu k připojení ten QR kód je k prdu, nahradil bych screenshotem nastavení, je to easy. Jinak je to skvělé a velmi rychle se synchronizující. Nezkoušel jsem 🇨🇿 na webu ale v mobilní verzi fachčí. Danke moc 👍
Nedalo mi to, tak jsem vymazal aplikaci v mobilu. Jen jsem na webu otevřel qr kód, vyfotil a zadal heslo. Vše hned naběhlo. Možná na Arch Wiki je starý návod, děláme vše nové. No víš jak jde to pomalu po práci. Teď jsem myslel, že s tím pohnu přes svátky, ale nějak se mi do ničeho nechtělo.
It's World Braille Day! Braille is an important part of literacy for blind people around the world. We are proud to keep NVDA's Braille support top-notch.

2/2 But today, we really wanted to put the focus on YOU, our dedicated Braille users, for all YOU do spreading awareness, and promoting use of Braille, not just with NVDA on the PC, but in all aspects of life.
The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of the importance of braille as a means of communication in the full realization of the human rights for blind and partially sighted people.
Krásné dobré ráno mastodoníci! 🐕🙋♀️🐈 U nás svítí sluníčko naplno a nepřipadla ani vločička. Dopoledne by měla přijet moje mamka podívat se konečně na stromeček. Celou dobu nějak neměla čas. Pořád byla někde. Ale dneska slavím svůj příchod na svět. Tak jdu trošku uklidit a nachystat a uvařit. Ale nejdřív si dám pořádný čaj. Tuplovaný. #dobre_rano #dobréRáno

If you're posting a thread on here, numbering its posts can be a good way of indicating they are part of a thread. People may see individual posts shared out of context and not realise they are part of a thread, which is why numbering can be useful.
You can number simply by just putting 1,2,3 etc at the end, or 1/3, 2/3 etc if you know how many posts there are. Some people put 🧵 next to numbers to indicate a thread.
