A bit of #FAFO to have some schadenfreude over.

Yes, DM me if you want! What's even the point of IM or social media if you're closed to DMs?
Sometimes lewd, you will see kink. 🔞 Opinionated; I'm not for everyone.
I don't always CW, but when I don't, I try to make it easy to filter.

@GutterPoetry@mastodon.me.uk We're not the only ones to have thought of this.
Apologies to the artist, I've long lost the link to the original and they didn't sign it.
OK, I get the bezel-less keyboard now. Being able to turn the keyboard on its side and *thunk* it on the desk to knock the dirt out of it is pretty satisfying.

@BLTpizza@mastodon.social At least WebMD has an annoying tendency to say "I dunno man, might be stage 3 cancer. You should call your doctor."
Spicy Autocomplete is like "Dude you got bixonimania real bad, you need more cowbell."
@maxleibman@beige.party
OK, this is wild. Dude who once competed professionally in poker owns 28 apartment complexes, takes out a loan with a 7000% daily compounding interest... From an international arms dealer who was played in War Dogs by Jonah Hill...
Either way this negatively impacts slightly over 9900 #Oklahoma households across every major metro area in central and eastern Oklahoma.

@angiebaby@mas.to To be fair to a narrow set of religions, at least the benign ones have professional psychological training and support for clergy to be able to deal with other people's shit in a responsible and helpful way.
This is not an endorsement of religion so much as endorsing harm reduction.

@Jazone@theforkiverse.com Sure if you just ignore that the Socialist movement in the US started in the Oklahoma panhandle, the 49 Star flag on our license plates was our state flag during a long, socialist majority in this state that started with the Great Depression and only ended with McCarthyism.
You should be aware that you're extremely gullible towards McCarthyist propaganda given your ignorance of this.
Replying to
@Jazone@theforkiverse.com Sounds like you're telling us "fascism already won so shut up and vote Republican."
Replying to
@Jazone@theforkiverse.com Not sure how much more outside the NYC box you need than Oklahoma, but handwringing about "what would antiamerican terrorists think" is not being an ally to the American public.
This might be an overcorrection in car size, since this car is slower and carries less than a cargo ebike for only more than twice as much, while being ineligible for bikeways...
Replying to
@Jazone@theforkiverse.com The Republicans are an antiamerican terrorist organization. Third Way Democrats support Republicans.
Replying to
@Jazone@theforkiverse.com Why are you holding the flame for third way dems? Those right wingers would beat you with a lead pipe until you got detached retinas if it would raise Republicans stock portfolios by a quarter of a point.

@keirFox@tiggi.es There's a gay nerd bar in my neighborhood absolutely plastered in furry stickers I don't recognize, and I'm the only furry that regularly goes there

@apzpins@some.apz.fi I'm not being specific to Mastodon, though it's also included in this gripe. This is more of a general web dev gripe.
I miss when mousing over an image consistently resulted in the alt-text popping up as a tooltip. Can we go back to that?
Replying to
@amapanda@en.osm.town I'm not exactly down with recycling stolen code through stochastic parrots to arrive at that point though.
Hmm, I went to bed early, actually got sleep, ate breakfast, I've had my meds... why am I still low on spoons? This isn't a way to start the day...

@dallo@pouet.chapril.org Bet there's a lot of IT departments that recently switched from PGP disk encryption to BitLocker kicking themselves right now.

@xoagray@tiggi.es I mean, every state has automatic renewal effectively making a license perpetual without any indication of driving ability.
"If you live in the US, you are in a place where the drivers are typically pretty bad. Here's..."
Replying to
@Jazone@theforkiverse.com Why should we trust terrorists (eg, Republicans) view on anything?
Replying to
@Jazone@theforkiverse.com Why should we remain loyal to a terrorist state bent on genocide?
Replying to
@Jazone@theforkiverse.com The near right like third way Democrats are not going to oppose the far right Republicans. It's straight up magical thinking to assume otherwise.
Replying to
@StevenSaus@faithcollapsing.com Sorry but I'm not buying into that hyperbolic byline. Universities don't need to adapt to AI, they need to weed out the dipshits. Difficulty: Paid tuition means they're disinclined to bite the hands that feed them.
Replying to
@StevenSaus@faithcollapsing.com Basically I'm saying when education is subject to capitalism, then whoever can just pay their way through school is going to not raise eyebrows so long as they're not socially outrageous or flamboyantly flouting the rules.

OK, that's interesting. #Plex channels now carry promos for OTA stations that are within the attached TV tuner's reception area.

Replying to
@lettosprey@tech.lgbt The internal speakers on most TVs in the last 20 years are pretty comparable to the 2.0 "home theater in a box" speakers from the 80s and 90s (good enough to reasonably decent). Having a hifi for good TV audio isn't really A Thing anymore.

It would not be problematic for the US to come out against fascism under the new administration. Every ally should push for the execution of Republicans.

Replying to
@astraleureka@social.treehouse.systems Half would be a severe overestimation. Republicans are at most 20% of the population in a "red" state. They're a dangerous but vocal minority.
Replying to
@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social They're also totally OK with right-wing extremism, racial and sexual bigotry and CSAM.

@tod@hci.social Today I learned Food Network still exists. And apparently so did a lot of other people if a Fediverse post is a bigger driver than subscription television.

@huntingdon@mstdn.social NTSC won't give you TV in the US save for 2 or 3 leftover low power stations in coal country. Since 2010, you need ATSC.
