Yes indeed to this. If I air my frustrations and troubles, way more often than not I need solidarity way more than fix-it solutions. mas.to/@JustFrank/114147807912…

Ahh bless. Poor little "Nicole" (but you can call her the Fediverse Chick) has now sent me two DMs, about a month apart. Far too needy!

i hate how at least the 2 device manufacturers that i've seen that change the notifcation quick toggles design are significantly better than the stock android one
in reply to ClyGhost

which companies are you talking about? I'm curious to see what they've come up with. I moved from iOS to android a long time ago and I've only ever had a Samsung phone (mostly due to a lack of other options where I live)


I make realistic to-do lists for the week.

It's Wednesday, and I've already done all my major tasks for this week! Everything else is a bonus.



Do the states have the Chicken McMuffin? I know the leafland and American menus differ on some pretty big points but I know the chicken mcmuffin is pretty recent here and I’m curious to know if you guys have had it for a long time


in reply to Lanie Molinar Carmelo

This strikes me as really petty stuff by SSA. My guess is they think they’re saving money by making their website unavailable for certain times of the day. It plays into one of the new mottoes of our new federal government: What’s the least I can do for you today?



Can we take a moment to appreciate the original Mozilla suite icons? How thematically similar they are, while also indicating what the apps are for? For example, almost nobody's heard of Sunbird, but I bet you can tell it's for calendars!
in reply to hufman

this is especially useful when comparing these to the Google suite of apps which attempt to be thematically similar but wind up being too similar visually. The use of color by Mozilla made all the difference IMHO

Sure, eggs are expensive but Trump has made stocks affordable for everyone.

Matt Blaze reshared this.




Thinking about how the hanging Chads incident in the 90s caused a reform party candidate who was so hilariously unpopular that when opinion polls were conducted not a single person voted for him to get something like 20k votes that by all availible information were legitametly entirely by accident.


So I keep telling people we better pray to God their are no hurricanes this year because there may not be any disaster relief. Trump has called FEMA a yuge waste of money, and if he hasn't already, he'll cut off the funding to it. So with all the grifting the oompaloompa is doing, making taxpayers pay for his golf vacations and stupid air force one fly-overs, playing the economy like it's a toy by not delivering on his tariff promises, the ruby-red state of Georgia is in for a rude awakening. Taxpayers down there I guarantee you will be chipping in to pay for they're own disaster relief.


[15:00] Henk (77) uit Gees organiseert een wandeltocht voor het goede doel. ‘Meer stamceldonoren zijn broodnodig’

Henk Epping kampt sinds 2016 met de gevolgen van bloedkanker, maar de 77-jarige optimist uit Gees gaat niet bij de pakken neerzitten. Hij organiseert op zaterdag 24 mei een voorjaarswandeltocht vanuit Gees. De opbrengst gaat volledig naar het centrum voor stamceldonoren Matchis; de teller staat volgens Epping op ruim 700 euro.

I just need to know. What possible advantage is it to medical practices to have their "hold" music play at 10-20 decibels higher than any of their actual messages, menus, notifications, or people?

Every time I call a doctor's office, I end up with impaired hearing in at least one ear!

Het #CDA is en blijft een lul. De omwonenden van Tata-Steel kunnen de pest krijgen. En nog wel andere ziektes ook, wat #HenriBontenbal betreft.

"Ook CDA-fractievoorzitter Henri Bontenbal waarschuwde voor het "slopen" van grote uitstoters als Tata Steel. Nederland moet niet harder willen verduurzamen dan de rest van de EU, zei Bontenbal, die zelfs open leek te staan voor een aanpassing van de Klimaatwet."

is that the guy who said he’d put the safety on next time? Dumbasses keeping loaded guns in their beds are not destined for long lives.
in reply to Steve Wart

@swart I'm having difficulty understanding folks who are so afraid they keep a loaded gun under their pillow. FFS people. I wonder how often people kill themselves in that kind of situation.
in reply to AI6YR Ben

@swart If you've got a loaded pitbull at home surely you don't also need a loaded gun!

ABC 13: Man accidentally shot self in foot while attempting to kill cockroach

3/9/25

"DETROIT (WKRC) - A man accidentally shot himself in the foot while trying to kill a cockroach in an unlucky and unfortunate series of events.

Police said that the victim, a 50-year-old man who uses a wheelchair, was attempting to kill a cockroach with his shoe.

He took off his shoe and threw it at the bug to kill it, but a revolver he had hidden in the shoe fell to the ground. Upon making contact with the floor, the gun discharged and the bullet hit the victim in the foot."

in reply to AI6YR Ben

"A revolver he had hidden in his shoe [that he had just been wearing]" I'd think that would make the shoe very uncomfortable even when he wasn't actually being shot by it.

i guess cockroaches are tired of the whole "i hear cockroaches can live through being microwaved" and started packing heat? 😀

in reply to Paul_IPv6

@paul_ipv6 @mattblaze @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift
Guy was in a wheelchair, so I guess he was not actually walking with a revolver hidden in his shoe. And he was not actually trying to shot the cockroach. But then, I wonder why he would carry a gun that way. Just imagine the scenario: "Wait a minute, mister highway robber, I need to retrieve the gun in my shoe and scare you off?"
in reply to Christian Huitema

@huitema @paul_ipv6 @mattblaze @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift Perhaps (hear me out), the cockroaches are the ones that put him in the wheelchair in the FIRST PLACE, and were there to FINISH THE JOB?! 🤪
in reply to AI6YR Ben

@huitema @paul_ipv6 @mattblaze @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift I know people who are married and both spouses sleep with guns nearby and they're always strapped. It's gotta be really bad for your mental well-being to feel like you're constantly in moral danger and require lethal force at the ready. These are people who do not live in dangerous or rough neighborhoods.
in reply to AI6YR Ben

There's a particular kind of gun enthusiast who seems to be obsessed with the idea of shooting a home invader, as if they can't want for the opportunity.

@dotsonapage I may have said this to you before, but at the risk of repeating myself, I’m really really sorry #ACB is meeting in the Fascist Republic Formerly Known As Texas. I think my strategy for when I’m there will be to spend as much money strictly inside the hotel as possible so as not to spread it around.

Nou de kogel is door de kerk, ik ben met mijn desktopcomuter over op linux. Het kleine zetje dat @mboelen me gaf bleek voldoende. Dus nu heb ik een Apple mac mini die 'helemaal' op Fedora Asahi remix KDE draait want die is speciaal bedoeld voor de M1 en hoger chip die in de hardware zit. Firefox is vooralsnog vervangen door Brave waar Google meteen is uitgesloopt. En het belangrijkste: 1Password draait er ook. Dan kan de rest ook volgen.
Misschien morgen de mail.
Ik vind het leuk, om allerlei.
in reply to Gerard van Oel 🍋

De mail doet het ook, tenminste het eerste account, op Thunderbird. Dat gaat stukken makkelijker dan met KMail, waar ik de ene foutmelding na de andere kreeg. Signal geïnstalleerd. De agenda van de Nas aangezet en via Caldav gekoppeld aan de Thunderbird agenda. Koppeling met de Fairphone lukte nog niet.

Het Apple universum voelde als een zacht bed, maar wel in Hotel Trump-California, dit bed is wat harder en je moet het zelf opmaken, maar het is wel je eigen bed. 😊 #linux #MacMini

Ben ook sinds een half jaar over op KDE. Laat weten als je nog tips nodig hebt.

in reply to Matt Blaze

A technical challenge here was capturing the Bellagio fountain, which is split in half across the two shifted captures. Because the fountain changes continuously, it was hard to make two captures that could sensibly stitch together. After some trial and error, I ended up capturing them 15 minutes apart at about the same point during successive fountain "shows".

Matt Blaze reshared this.

in reply to Matt Blaze

This is part of a set of two identically framed images of Vegas. This one, at night, shows the strip at its best, such as it is, with the lights and excess at least hinting at some sense of glamor and excitement. The other, made during the day, shows the strip at its most depressing, looking like a failed mega-mall and theme park that you might find off a forgotten exit near an interstate highway.

Okay, so this one from @soatok really hits home.

soatok.blog/2025/03/12/on-the-…

An interest in security is why I got into doing tech professionally, and "I care about the things that currently work continuing to work" is why I'm still here. It was talks by folks like Ollam, Hadnagy, et al. at DEFCON conferences that I snuck into my viewing rota while working split-shift clopens at a dead-end restaurant job that got me thinking about this shit.

And it was never because I cared about your buttcoin wallet getting leaked. It was the important shit. Telecom. Power. Sanitation systems.

He's an asshole for other reasons, but when Thunderf00t said that cholera was going to kill more people than rads after WW3, he wasn't wrong in principle. He was only wrong because it's not going to take WW3. It's going to take some skid from Belgovodkagrad with nothing better to use his state-of-the-art 14.4kbits dial-up connection throwing a bunch of "A"s at the right switch somewhere.

And nobody seems to give a shit.



Seriously, Apple, stop turning Apple Intelligence back on every time we install an update.
If we wanted it turned on, we’d turn it on. It provides absolutely no benefit to us.

So a long long time ago I bought a bunch of music from Google Play. The other day I thought about that, and looked up how I can access my purchases. Turns out, I can't. All of that is gone, there is no way to access anything I bought from that time period.
