Pennsylvania’s mushroom industry faces urgent labor shortage − and latest immigration policies will likely make it worse
Kennett Square, Pa., is considered the mushroom capital of the world. The industry depends heavily on immigrants, who work physically demanding jobs in tough conditions.The Conversation

Non-dog question (you've all been very helpful in these questions recently): can anyone recommend some earbuds?
My current ones are on the way out and although I'd really like to keep the Fairbuds I'm trying, they've got a few too many problems to overlook. This is disappointing because buying something that will inevitably become e-waste is bad.
Not Airpods or Pixel Buds Pro, and good ANC is quite important.
Thanks!

I love the #fediverse.
We've been living through this strange world for 2 decades where we let several large corporations convince us that disintermediation of your friends and acquaintances was a desirable outcome.
We let them monetize our FOMO and social nature.
The best thing ever to happen is birdsite being bought and torched. Sure it was a shame.
I much prefer a universe where NO ONE own social networks.
Because they never actually did in the first place. ✊

Stopped at the grocery store on the way home from work, remembered that I will need some postcards for Saturday's anti-Trump mailing, and looked over the collection. Lots of Rochester-themed postcards, pictures of the Lilac Fest, the Eastman House, etc. Then I found exactly the right cards! One Frederick Douglass, and one Susan B. Anthony! Paired with some rabble-rousing postage stamps, (I still have a few John Lewis stamps), and they should hit just the note I want. With a strong enough written message, even a blank postcards would have served. But I like the idea of the postcard itself also speaking!

ICE Fascists claim they "don't make arrests at sensitive locations like hospitals."
Last week MAGA was outraged that people didn't cheer for a 13-year-old child who survived brain cancer.
This week ICE fascists deported a 10-year-old child & US citizen who survived brain cancer.
Absolute nazis.
In our case we were running into bug reports of people not being able to reach things when wearing just the one headset. We were a bit baffled since like... they all seemed to produce the same "virtual" dimensions correctly.
It was environmental factors. It's always environmental factors. -_-

Jesus Christ (no pun intended) I followed some of his activities in the early days of the web. Then he and John Dvorak started a podcast and Curry was going down the loony tunes path with “don’t carry a phone, use an iPod touch on WiFi only”, and then prior to the 2016 election, I had to stop listening.
Seems he’s gone full batshit crazy.
So the Wikipedia page for Nickelback quotes career sales of 50 million records.

Hey, folks? Social Security and Medicare are called "entitlements" BECAUSE you've paid into them your whole life. You're *entitled* to them. They belong to you. You hold *title* to them.
"Entitlement" ≠ "welfare." But over the last half-century, Republican propagandists have succeeded in changing the meaning of the word.
Setting up Nginx Proxy Manager was easier than I thought! A few hurdles at first (longer blog post in the works) but I got it all working without much issue.
I am seeing things timeout every now and then but it seems a common problem so hopefully I can get that fixed.
#nginx #proxy #selfhosted
I also managed to get docker running Nginx Proxy Manager on a Raspberry Pi, which had a few challenges but I think I've cleared all the hurdles.
The main issue was no clear direction on getting Docker and the container to startup at boot. Lots of forum post reading on that topic.
