Misleading headline wording. Makes it seem one thing lead to the other, rather than reality being the other way around.

International war criminal to come get pats on the back says unconditional supporter of domestic insurrectionist and life-long criminal.

As a person who ages ago created and single letter (before the @) email address thinking myself clever and efficient… I’m amazed and distressed how many forms have insisted that my email address is invalid.

And yet their makeup is impeccable. Article says “young people”, but curiously only cute women in the pictures.

“It looks cute, and yet, you don’t lose that feeling of sexiness.” Ah, the all important feeling of sexiness in the office that women strive for.

I haven’t tried it but I’ve been thinking about it… Since NextCloud supports s3 storage it would seem its photo apps, such as Memories should work that way?

Kids these days not playing enough Lunar Lander

Seems like a tacit admission at very least that to anyone without access to these internal documents the accusation of genocide is reasonable. Interesting.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, my server is old. COPS is old, but still works great for me. .

Calibre has built in server, but while running server (last I checked) it locks the db so you can’t do much with the Gui, can’t add books etc. Also I’m already running a a web server with php so it’s more efficient just to slap the COPS web app there rather than run yet another server.

Ask why. Then probably work on subversion… because it is seriously doubtful they’ve come back for any good reason.

Similarly I use COPS (php calibre front-end)… But with no users or auth. If you can guess the URL you are in! Exciting.

I don’t actually know anything. But casually to me it looked like a choice between 160% chance of it getting worse and a 300% chance of getting worse. And it’s not very surprising at all in these circumstances many go for the latter for all sorts of reasons (and delusions). But I don’t actually know anything.

Here is the study, “Assessment of Stoichiometric Autocatalysis across Element Groups”, linked in the last paragraph of the article for your enjoyment: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.3c07041

Interesting perspective. I had not considered the aesthetic angle.

Friend’s grandfather used to say…

The hurrier I go the behinder I get.

I was on digg as well as reddit. I always liked reddit a lot better and was always baffled as to why digg was so much more popular. Reddit always felt more diverse (in topics) and organic (user driven) to me. I guess others had a different view.

Sadly, no one no one seems to remember kuro5hin. Barely even me. It had its moments though.

Maybe journa.host public feed? https://journa.host/public/local

Or better, use the elk.zone interface: https://elk.zone/journa.host/public/local

It’s a mastodon instance for verified journalists, and so… you know. If it bleeds it leads…

(I’m not [entirely] serious… just as the cartoon the post link leads to isn’t… [entirely?]…)

From what I’m hearing doomscrolling is quite difficult to achieve on mastodon. People are mostly horribly nice and supportive and stuff. And there’s no cool vampire algorithm exploiting heightened emotions. But where there’s a will, there’s a way! You can do it. Choose your doom-y hashtags carefully, my friend! We believe in you.

A Ukrainian general is predicting bad stuff in Russia. Fascinating. Is this news breaking, or what?

Probably the easiest way to avoid it is to simply rename it to something less scary sounding. Maybe something like Alive Enhanced Rich Content Internet Theory for Human People! See, not a problem now.

Also maybe we should reread Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. It has a storyline about a guy who finds out he is the only actual real person on earth. Everyone else are robots. And he wants to know why.

Fedilab handles mastodon, pixelfed and peertube in one app. It’s the most multifunctional app I know of. Pretty impressive, but it doesn’t do lemmy/kbin, or even misskey.
