mastodon 4.7.3I live in rural Vermont with my amazing partner @sarahscully@glammr.us, our four-legged roommate @leopoldregulus, and a bunch of lawnmowers masquerading as sheep.
I enjoy gardening, music, food, travel, and the company of kind-hearted people. 🍻
Been using Mastodon since May 2017.

@evan@cosocial.ca I genuinely would love know who the 3% answering 'yes' are so I can block them.
No means no.
There is no "except" or "unless" in that sentence.
If you want to make America great again start taxing the rich and corporations like they were in the 1950s.

No one is suppressing right wing speech. There are whole tv and internet channels devoted to them.
Rip Sid Krofft. I have many fond memories of the shows he created with his brother, Marty, especially ‘The Banana Splits,' 'H.R. Pufnstuf,' 'Land of the Lost,’ ‘The Bugaloos’ and ‘Sigmund and the Sea Monsters’
Thanks, Sid.

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange better than the progressives who tell me that it’s a free speech issue as if right wing fascists don’t have enough platforms. 🙄

@evan@cosocial.ca iirc Paul Simon wrote this verse from Under African Skies for Linda Ronstadt (who sings on the track) based on her description of the skies in Arizona when she was a child.
“In early memory
Mission music
Was ringing 'round my nursery door
I said take this child, Lord
From Tucson, Arizona
Give her the wings to fly through harmony
And she won't bother you no more”
I’ve been to Grand Canyon, Tucson, Sedona & a few other places over the years ago and the Arizona skies are impressive.
@blp my guess is that American peanut butter is more likely to have sugar in it than other places.

@pb@xoxo.zone I was not aware of this feature of @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net. Pretty cool that one can toggle to see the XML if they wish as well. Thanks!
Yet another example of England & the US being separated by a common language* from a BBC Sport headline:
"Two fans get first banning orders for tailgating"
Tailgating in the US is a party in a parking lot before a game -- usually American football -- which comes from the act of opening one's trunk/boot to enjoy food and drink.
Today I learned that in the UK it means entering an event w/o a ticket by riding the tail of someone else going through the ticket gate.

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io @serebit@floss.social their embrace of crypto is what made me leave.
Hello Canadian friends, especially those in #Ottawa: Spouse and I will be in Ottawa in mid-May to visit friends (who are from Toronto) and we are looking for some local suggestions. We have nice meal booked, and a canal cruise too. But what else do locals suggest? Thanks!
@matt@mastodon.knight.fyi I didn’t put 2 and 2 together when Jessamyn told me about you a few weeks ago. Looking forward to chatting soon.
Must have too much rheum in my eyes this morning to see the Sunday #KnotWords clearly. 🤦🏼♂️
Replying to
@WTL Thank you. As you guessed I have identified many museums to consider, and I have mapped out a loop walk that will cross the river twice. We have booked a canal boat ride. I have more than enough food* & drink options identified. I have located a few record stores, and a few stationery/pen stores, but more like that would be welcomed. I could definitely use some knitting and or occult shop suggestions. 😂
*a few people with dietary preferences
Replying to
@RowinSpeez I have mapped out a walk from Parliament Hill Across the river to near the Canadian Museum of History. Spouse is gluten-free (and dairy) so pizza, etc not high on our list. I have LOTS of food options planned out, but thanks!
“Apple implied that the 65 year-old Cook would continue serving as the company's de-facto ambassador to politicians in his new role. ‘As executive chairman, Cook will assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world.’”
My translation:
“Apple will continue to coddle fascist dictators with Tim Cook remaining in that role”

@pb@xoxo.zone one of the things that https://electoral-vote.com has been talking about that I hadn’t thought of until they said it.

@evan@cosocial.ca I am so confused. I click on that account and am met with a wall of buttons(?) that say Add. There is one that reads "Accept" but I haven't knowingly clicked anything. I don't see how to simply follow. And when I click on the follow account in certain iOS apps I get nothing at all. *shrug*

@odin @marcoarment Sorry it doesn't work for you, but I would wager that most people aren't using 1Password's deeper features as a power user like you does -- but that is true of most hardware and software.
Personally, I like how easily Apple Passwords integrates with my authenticator app, and I am hoping more features are on the horizon!

@autumn@triangletoot.party I love Zero 7. Especially stuff with Tina Dico and Sophie Barker. They were my introduction to Sia too.

@autumn@triangletoot.party Great book! My partner and I read it decades ago shortly after we got our first dog, a strong-willed little Boston Terrier, Haley. (RIP)
Replying to
@christianselig@mastodon.social Maybe so, but for me it is a principle. I have a device that does all the things I want to use in a car, and that car maker is blocking me. I don't like that. Maybe it is a neurodiversity thing. I don't know. But if I had to buy a car today, it is enough of an issue for me that I would avoid them and not feel I am missing out.
Replying to
@christianselig@mastodon.social it is important to me to "vote" with my wallet since so many companies only listen to that!

@dacig@mastodon.social @boogah@simian.rodeo I think Kit looks good. Has a very generous free tier. I haven't used it, but I have done some research to share with friends who want to switch from S*bstack. Good luck!

@brewsite@mastodon.online Why does your site (thebrewsite.com) prompt one to download a .gz file instead of loading the site? This happens on 4 different browsers.
Replying to
@odin @marcoarment WOW! If Apple's introduction of their free password manager didn't kill 1Password, this likely will.
Replying to
@christianselig@mastodon.social And that makes sense, but I am (for good or bad) in the Apple ecosphere and not Rivian's.
Thankfully I am not in immediate need of another vehicle, and can wait and see where the cards fall, but I am hoping Rivian (and GM, et alia) change their minds.

@hunterking arctic monkeys came to mind. Started off as rather punk rock and now is kinda lounge. I like to say that Alex Turner aged along with me.
