Happy Confederate Surrender Day
a reminder that the bastards can be beaten (which we did)
But also that you have to make sure to crush their bullshit completely, (which we didn’t and are still paying for that).

@Viss This is hilarious and flows from a place of Deep Frustration which as an IT person I respect.
Me: so where are your backups?
New Client: oh, it’s all up at the cloud
Me: so, what I’m hearing is, “no backups”.
AltText added.
Me to my wife “Y’know like that sexy devil sculpture from like the 17th century”
Her: the what?
Me: 😱 (frantically start searching*

Sorry folks, I forgot to update this on June 1, so looks like we’re gonna have to have July be Pride month as well.

@CStamp Yeah, I checked the Instagram link.
but thanks for the extra link and verification.

Well, my account with them expires in like three days so I guess that’s convenient timing
Kind of bummer to hear about mullvad
Time to find a new VPN

@Nonilex@masto.ai @derteckelansich@nrw.social Hilariously in his first update on BlueSky, while noting he was Ok, he also mentioned how his camera held up, leading someone else to note that only a REAL photojournalist would also slip in a gear review while describing being tackled and pepper sprayed.. 😂

@CaribenxMarciaX@scholar.social Oh. No…Substack platforms Nazis so, generally they are to be avoided, IMO.
I actively avoid reading stuff that gets published using Substack.

@neurovagrant @Tarah DNS blockers are great, also pi-hole is a great option (that i have yet to actually implement myself so I’m a bit of a hypocrite 😂)

@davidnjoku @Xavier I had the livestream on in my office and it was enjoyable.
When they came out from behind the moon and Trump called, I thought “that’s a hell of a punishment for coming out from behind the moon” and turned it off.
This was something done despite him, he’s been cutting NASA budget. It’s European engines, much more a humanity is doing this kind of thing.
But I absolutely get where you’re coming from.
Replying to
@sarahtaber@mastodon.online you have my absolute respect for not using this image
Alternately, how could you NOT use this image. It’ll definitely clear the drains. 😂
Replying to
@CaribenxMarciaX@scholar.social Short version; Substack is platforming Nazis (which is a thing again, somehow)
The two alternatives I know of are Ghost and Beehiv: https://www.beehiiv.com/
If you’re looking for a free tier, then that’s Beehiiv.
I definitely know some folks who’ve used it and have been quite happy with it.
Replying to
@futurebird@sauropods.win It absolutely is. It’s conformance.
I “joke” that I remember picking out a NFL lunchbox at like 7-8 years old because it was “what a boy would carry” - I had absolutely no interest in football, and in advance decided that I liked The Miami Dolphins because… I liked dolphins.
This stuff starts earlier than people like to think (as I learned after my daughter was born)

To be clear here; I’m someone who yelled bloody murder when they killed the G4 towers, which was pretty much the beginning of the end for expandable, upgradeable machines from Apple*
BUT, 95% of the hundreds of G3/G4 towers I personally have pulled out of client sites…had never been upgraded…at all
I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross.
Replying to
@Impossible_PhD Ok now I’m laughing. Not the earring thing, although that’s also hilarious. It’s that my first thought was “she DOES look like her PFP! That’s awesome!”
In fair exchange I’ll note that I *also* look like my PFP - minus the crown…unless I’ve been to Burger King recently. 😁

“OK, I can see the building I need to get to, and as I’m getting closer, it’s getting harder and harder to see it…that’s probably a bad sign”

A little song that’s been helping me get through the year, on this, my “special” day - enjoy.

@flargh@mastodon.social When I first saw this, I was like “didn’t they already do this” because it seems like just such an obvious thing for them to have done.
It’s very GWAR

@angry_drunk@union.place Oh, I did a little research, you’re close; there’s a super high chance it’s going to be an envelope with some confetti & in it a scrawled card that says “surprise!“
And if you’re unlucky, you won’t get the card

@CatherineFlick@mastodon.me.uk Someone over on BlueSky wrote something that I think really spoke to one of the disconnects. They said:
“…the biggest issue is that we keep talking about Masto as though its *is* a community. Which its not. It’s a platform, where communities can develop…”
Which is a REALLY good observation, I thought.
Replying to
@JenWojcik@mastodon.social LOL, that guy - he blocked me after I had the temerity to vaguely question one of his assertions (even though I was like “I hope you’re right”) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Replying to
@halfcocked@mstdn.social Wait, is this about that guy, Jonathan Salcedo? The one who I heard murdered a protester? The Murderer guy?

@crschmidt @crschmidt.net Not sure what you’re using for a platform, but there’s a nice iOS app called Croissant, which posts to BlueSky and Mastodon simultaneously. It’s what I’ve been using since it came out and it works well (only thing it can’t do is video).

“Percy Jackson toxic fandom decides to challenge ‘Rick and Morty’ toxic fandom for shitty behavior” is not something I expected to see.
It’s a great show too, the young actors are doing a great job and deserve better than this kind of bullshit.

Replying to
@crschmidt @crschmidt.net Oh absolutely. Some stuff I post specifically cos, as you note, it’s either specific to a community, but other stuff that’s more generic I crosspost.
I don’t really “get” the bridge, as I don’t see when/if someone replies to it or follows it instead of my real account. 😁

@GottaLaff @jztusk @mastodonmigration @Teri_Kanefield @Popehat @mmasnick @mattblaze @TechConnectify I also want MASTODON to succeed - these are not opposing goals. “Microsoft does not need to lose for Apple to win” and vice versa.
Replying to
@CaribenxMarciaX@scholar.social Oh, yeah; it was bad enough for me that they were pushing the “oh we’re just not passing judgment” while paying cash monay to outright racists, and in the past few months they’ve partnered with Polymarket AND ate boosting Andrew Tate, so yeah, they’re long gone for me.

@jessiegender well, if the Harry Potter books taught me anything it’s that being rich is the same as being right.
Right?
I’m pretty sure that’s what the moral was.
Yeah.
Replying to
@flargh@mastodon.social I suspect that’s why I like it. I actually have this hanging on my wall right now.
