@ferricoxide It's not like you can even say "just Google it" anymore now that search engines no longer work worth a damn. @GottaLaff

@GottaLaff What gets me is that he wasn't just a condescending prick about it, he just said it's "easy" with no elaboration whatsoever on how to do it.

@thetnholler.bsky.social I figured Hegseth would be more concerned with the 18th Amendment.

Folks of the #Phoenix #AZ area. This is Leia, her current human is going into assisted living in 30 days. She cannot take Leia with her so Leia needs a new home.

Leia is 30 lbs and full of energy. She has a great personality. She is a 100% people pleaser and cuddler. If there is a open lap around she is in it. She also loves to patrol her yard. She is good with other dogs, don't know about cats. Not good with small animals.

Let me know if anyone is interested please. Thanks!

@austinkocher I think Douglas Adams came pretty close.

A friend of mine is an artist selling on #threadless. She sold a print for $83 this week, and received $8.

What is the fediverse favoured Etsy/threadless option? I want to help her move to something better. There was a co-op set up some time ago wasn’t there?

@s0 Plus I suspect both developers and designers would rather do interesting stuff than boring stuff. Making Excel work better is boring. I hate everything about Copilot but I bet the devs are having fun.

And over on the graphic design side, you've got the endless cycle from skeumorphic to iconic, round to square, full-color to monochromatic, flat to 3D, etc. and then back around the other way, because who wants to just keep everything looking the same? @davidgerard

@0xabad1dea Ha! Haven't played the game in almost 30 years but I remember hitting that level select screen and not knowing how I did it.

@s0 I suspect most people in the tech industry want that too but we're at the mercy of a handful of Big Tech corporations motivated primarily by finding new ways to shake money out of users' and advertisers' pockets. @davidgerard

@motherjonesmag You can blame John Roberts for Trump's entire second term.

@mrbruno I think he's named after them or something. @lowqualityfacts

@dangillmor January 1, 1970 is zero in Unix timekeeping. Could indicate a missing or invalid date?

The Washington Post just sent me a survey asking what they can do to get me to subscribe again.

I made it very clear that there is absolutely nothing they can do to win me back while Bezos has financial and editorial control. I hope more people take the time to fill out the survey and they get a lot of responses like mine.

I don't know if it would change anything—Bezos may see it as worth losing money to control the narrative—but I'd still like the survey results to show he's the problem.

I only donate directly to candidates and this is why.

“New FBI data shows that both violent crime and property crime are at their lowest level since the 1960s” but the media disproportionately covers crime, so most Americans aren’t aware of the decrease. https://popular.info/p/why-you-might-not-know-that-2024
