@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Some soft-serve is already a bit like mayo ice cream.
I think if I ranked them, it's 1) baked bean cheesecake, 2) mayo icecream, 3) hotdog tiramisu, 4) ranch cereal.

Apparently they are backtracking on this now. I'm guessing they had too many people try to get out of it.

‘Scammers have figured out that #PayPal lets anyone send small amounts of money to anyone else, and that PayPal will dutifully email the recipient a notification. The scammer sends you a payout of, say, one Hungarian forint — about a quarter of a cent. PayPal's system then automatically generates and sends you a real, legitimate, fully-authenticated email confirming the transaction.’

Broadband appears to be a sticking point for #Texas camps.
Who could imagine that rural broadband would be an issue?
Well, that was unexpected. Just drank the health potion.

@GustavinoBevilacqua I answered "no," because while there is one (Aldi), most stores do not.
This snippet of text is clearly something I wrote, but I don't know what I was doing, but it's clearly me. I was headed somewhere...
"One of the creative things we did with media studies in the last quarter of the 20th century was to recognize that alternative and even oppositional readings--say, the work of Fiske in analyzing Cagney and Lacey from a lesbian lens or Harlequin romances as works of female empowerment."
Argh, too many things require rt-click, and this #MacBook won’t do it when I need.
In #Budgie, trying to pin program to dock. Supposed to rt-click and pin it when it is open. Ctrl-click is supposed to simulate rt-click, but it doesn’t. Look for solutions. mouseemu is supposed to help, but cannot find it. Finally find on a parallels forum that you can use two finger tap to trigger a right click. Well, shoot if it can tell a two-finger tap, why can’t it tell a tap in the lower right. 🫠

“We all know what #gentrification looks like IRL — boxy, corporate-owned apartment complexes, places to get a quick bowl for lunch, streets that are dubbed "cleaner" and "safer" (even at the expense of the people who used to live there). But what does gentrification look like online? We’re talking to Jessa Lingel, who studies digital culture …about her argument that the #internet has become gentrified, and that we're all suffering the consequences.”

It did not recover by the morning, so I wiped it and started over. If I had more invested in the machine, I would have tried to figure it out, but at this point, reinstalling was the fastest solution.
After decryption key, it would just take me to a desktop whose only options were to shutdown or suspend. 🤷
Gee, Office Depot, it's helpful if you don't use a bogus scheme at the front of your links in your ads. hhttp: is not a protocol any of my programs recognize.
