I have created business cards, stickers, and a website for spreading awareness and push back wherever there are Harry Potter products. The idea is simple: print or order some cards/stickers, then whenever you run into a place hawking hate-fund merch, drop a card and to let the business and/or prospective customers know. https://harrypotterfundshate.com

PSA: uBlock Origin's EasyList has an AI Widgets option that doesn't get turned on by default, including if you had other EasyList items selected already before it was added. Enabling it removes a number of various AI buttons, nags, prompts, etc. across various sites. #AI #LLM #Firefox

I'm claiming vindication in my long-term hatred of Darren Aronofsky given he's started an AI production company. Mother! may or may not be the worst film ever made, but it is the worst film I've ever seen, and I've seen Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny.

@CoolerPseudonym@wandering.shop I've always assumed checked out e-books would have DRM and thusly be a pain in the ass. So instead I check out physical books then find the digital copies online. With a major upside aside from everything you mentioned being that I get to browse the library, which is always a great place to be.

When I first start learning basic addition and subtraction, teachers would use practical problems to connect it to reality for students. If I have 3 apples and you take 1, how many do I have left? And after that, we never do that again. Oh you want to understand the practical application of this math and how it interacts with the world? Fuck you, memorize formulas.

I'm seeing an issue where at least one user is having issues where their interactions with mutuals on federated servers aren't appearing to each other.

Replies not appearing on the target's instance, so the mutual on another instance replies to a post here, and the OP here doesn't see it at all, it does not exist on our end
Follow requests not showing up in either direction

Sidekiq looks good. Postgres looks good. Any ideas on even where to start?

@alice@lgbtqia.space @Lucaas@fuckaas.space @catsalad@infosec.exchange this is something that's maybe my favourite part of Pennsylvania with its exorbitant gas stations like Sheetz. They have reasonably nice washrooms to freely walk into 24/7.

In Ontario the best options for widely available 24/7 places have been Tim Horton's, but those are

Not nice washrooms

RE: https://toot.lgbt/@ellesaurus/117016909744593459 So story-time for this Last women's softball game I slid into 2B and the older woman pitching asked "are you okay" and I said "all good". This seemed to offend her as she snarled "No, I'm talking to THE GIRL" I've noticed in handshake lines she seems to get grumpy seeing me, too. We played them today and she seemed to pull her hand away. Well sucks to be you, I have long arms

Keep in mind I don't think we've otherwise spoken a sentence to each other. Utter weirdo behavior.

You know how some people love when their gender expression causes confusion in passers by? I have that, but for sexuality. I relish the idea that person to person day to day I might be viewed as lesbian or straight or bi or any other variation.

This may just be the messy bitch in me, but one of the best feelings is when someone gets into low volume mode to tell you about the drama. Total relationship-builder stuff, often a fuck-that-guy opportunity, and a show of trust that you not only are not going to turn this around, but that you're gonna have their back. 10/10 social moments
