Obama was when my generation became cynical about politics. Finally, someone who actually says the right things... but it didn't matter, and nobody since then has even pretended to be on our side.
in reply to Lot⁴⁹

During the Obama presidency I was reading boingboing daily, and, well, my views on Obama align pretty evenly with Doctorow's.

Same thing trump said about Andy Warhol's horse at Studio 54 but he ain't dead. Yet.
in reply to Low Quality Facts

He was always looking for a combination of horses and women to be his centaur of attention, but only found nags.

Moved my rose bush.

Back in 2020, during the pandemic, I planted a rose bush on the far, left side of my yard. At the time, most people kept to themselves during the pandemic. And after the pandemic, my neighbor's children were still young enough that they kept within the safe confines and closer proximity of their parents.

Time have changed, as they now tend to run through my yard, usually to retrieve their soccer or volley ball, sometimes playing on the edge of my yard by their fence, and common sense did a simple social math equation. Children, plus thorns, is not a good combination. I moved the rose bush and relocated it on the far opposite side of the yard, next to the other bushes, by the older couple's property (where there are no young children).

No helmet 70s was also no fence. Very few backyards had them where I grew up. We could play in 4 backyards that essentially made a field. That basically died in the 80s. Pools were one reason fences were necessary. Get off my lawn was a big part of the small scale wall building though. I don't think I've known my neighbour's as well since then.
in reply to Kneworldodor

I tend to keep to myself.

Growing up, I watched far too many people get to know their neighbors only for it to end in drama of some sorts. All it takes is one misunderstand, or one line crossed, and you've got to see your neighbor every time you walk out your door.

On that note, working for Meta (Facebook), I can tell you with certainty, many people lost their minds during COVID and again with Donald Trump, and how the idea of their neighbor, makes them simply irrational.

That said, I don't mind being casually social, helpful if needed, and even being passively helpful. But generally, I hold to the old saying, "don't shit where you eat".

remember when I asked for a replacement for #disqus and then ranted about how none of the available solutions would also integrate with #mastodon?

Well shit. I did it again and scratched my own itch and barfed out another open source project.

Introducing: Meh..

splitbrain.org/blog/2025-03/26…

* single install serves as many sites as you want
* can be used in static websites (it's lightweight web components in the frontend)
* imports Disqus
* fetches Mastodon replies as comments
* supports different languages (so far en, fr, es, de)
* probably has bugs

it does now, but only accidentally.

I did some changes in how I handle replies and that meant that I had to delete and reimport all mastodon posts. Normally the system would not pick up edits after the first import (unless the edit gets a new ID, which I hope it does not).

What the hell is this new “gold adjusted” stuff added the the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow forecast. Smells like Trump ordered them to make the economy look better. atlantafed.org/cqer/research/g…

Not likely. Powell has already rebuffed trump over lowering interest rates.

Adding a meaningless metric is a lot different than changing a major economic lever.

All down. Didn’t take too much effort thanks to the tilt plate. Just some wiggling and a dead blow hammer to get the job done.

Still sobbing over it. ☹️

Danish travel company Albatros ends all travel to the US. Chairman Rasmussen:

"We sincerely love the US and its people, and look forward to returning once the US elects a leadership of decency, respect and responsibility.

When Trump explains his aggression towards Greenland with security, he reveals himself as a compulsive liar.
[…]
Trump and his cronies' treatment of president Zelenskyy, the hideous pressure on Ukraine and the indecent cowering to the Russian psychopath speaks for itself."

in reply to Randahl Fink

Beyond what I said before… is it even true? Here’s me about to book travel to New York on their site: albatros.dk/rejser/new-york-ne…
in reply to Aral Balkan

@aral yes it is. He said they would honor the agreements they had already made with some girls in the US, but they would not make new deals.

I think that is only fair.

in reply to Randahl Fink

this is not quite true. They're ending *marketing* of trips to the US. It's still possible to book them, they just won't run ads.

"Vi har valgt at stoppe al markedsføring af USA som rejsedestination, så længe klaphatten Trump nægter at genoptage den militære støtte til Ukraine"

Han slår fast, at det ikke betyder, at de kunder, der har bestilt en rejse til USA nu har fået rejsen aflyst, og det er stadig muligt at købe rejser til USA, selv om markedsføringen for rejserne nu droppes. "

I once interviewed a security professional and asked them how they locked down their whole family's security when things like 2FA and yubikeys were tricky to use and they admitted most of their immediate family didn't do those things and I realized that holy shit, bad actors must go after *everyone* connected to high level security people


A threat actor called "SWAGEDGE" is replying to new posts on mastodon.social
The account being used in these attacks was created today (26 March 2025, UTC).
All of the posts made by this threat actor are identical, and it posts them in rapid succession, so it is highly likely this is automated.
