@futurebird I use the Bookmark feature for this purpose.

@nmott i guess my point is that society *needs* massively popular shared past-times to have cohesion and signal change, even if not everybody participates

I would have posted more of the substack because it’s so good, but I you’ll have to go and read it for yourself.https://christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-uk-covid-inquiry-has-laid-bare13/13

@madengineering @tezoatlipoca Except advertisers don't pay squat for untargeted ads that are easy to ignore. That's the business reality we're ignoring.

@jwildeboer The revolution will not be centralized.From LowTech Magazine an interesting paper about DC vs AC and local decentralized production of electricity : https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2016/04/slow-electricity-the-return-of-dc-power/

@coleens_ @stroz that wording is a huge red flag.

@ErikJonker I want consumer ready products that are European, which isn't easy, but i found (and bought) a Starfighter laptop with ZorinOS .https://video.folkdata.se/w/wAtf445J5RXV3QuHZHM69w

@thomasfuchs You don’t need agency to evade safeguards, destroy things, or ignore instructions. `rm` can do it.This is literally the mistake people you criticize are making - imbuing intent where there’s none.The underlying tech had been apt at finding ways to circumvent feedback loops since before the bubble. This is constrained to the training phase, but with verification of commercial models being mathematically infeasible, these avoidance patterns are shipped directly to users.

@SunnJax Nom nom nom

@Pomegranatepirate agreed. Many people entering retirement do have money for travel, and many do go travel. Just last week I met an older Italian couple who told us they bought a campervan and travelled most of Europe at the start of their retirement. They also had a holiday home on the Atlantic coast in Portugal, which is where I met them.. But then again many older people really don't have this freedom, and worry a lot about money during their retirement. It would be great to target them.

@Chigaze @heliomass Your server would need to support Markdown in order for the app client to be able to support it. The Mastodon glitch fork used by mstdn.ca does, but I don't think core Mastodon does yet, and I suspect that's what cosocial.ca is using.You may also need to change an account setting so that your server interprets posts as Markdown by default (this depends on whether Ivory also sends up the flag that indicates the format).

@patterfloof @erkhyan Waterfox is pretty much a drop-in replacement for Firefox, been recommending it to non-technical friends and they had no problems at all. I think it eben supports Firefox Sync with no problems.

@davew @shadowwwind that is bad! and weird, because on the ActivityPub, it uses RSS as an example of a standard that never dies!

@ironicbadger Hah! Touché!Though I would posit that this is true only if your devices are regularly doing `pull`s.I don’t mean to “️ well actually ️” you; this is something I’ve been kicking around myself and haven’t come to a conclusion about.

@Leviatar A ver si es una cuenta para trolear a los nazis y aquí todo dios bloqueando @andrewwet @yoquese

@stefanfrede https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2026109 here it is. The fix will be uplifted to 149 soon.

@MyWildlifeAllotment I can't argue that trees are not messy-- I have to wonder how my birches are still standing after all the downed sticks I picked up this spring. One of the three little pigs thanked me for collecting them before he took them.

@meowl @kaguya what is dis?
