I had this exact delivery tracking weirdness on amazon and the seller was another big company… got a refund and have zero regrets.

My last few have been used off ebay. Pixels really are mediocre phones these days. And the deals on used A series aren’t as good as I remember.

Throwback to a totally unqualified health class sub telling a bunch of preteens:

“You know why they call some girls dooknobs? Cause everybody gets a turn.”

It feels like sometimes we fail to comnunicate that while climate models are extremely rigorous and meticulously put together, there’s always the possibility of unknown factors.

I appreciate scientists aversion to alarmism, and the difficulty of balancing effective communication on the topic. But if we’re honest our species has been dicking around with the most complex system we know of. Even if we start doing everything right there are certainly any number of surprises lurking that we will need to deal with. And to some degree guessing at the scope of the unknown is impossible.

Can someone tell me I’m wrong and somehow we know where all the environmental landmines are? Cause I want to believe that the “this much inventment and change equals this much less warming” can be relied upon, but I worry it’s tempering the apparent scale of the crisis.

Security on android ereaders is definitely disappointing. My Boox palma 2 only supports pins, not passwords. And unfortunately I don’t think a pure eink would work for me. The xteink has me curious if you could make firmware to “leech” off grapheneOS’ security by doing something like an SMB share to avoid having potentially pirated books unencrypted.

What I’d personally love to see is an X4 sized device with NFC, wireless charging, and Lora for meshtastic.

Definitely yes. I mean Murder in the Tool Library is a solarpunk murder mystery.

Only sponsor I ever bought anything from was Henson for a safety razor. Got one before they made more of a sponsor push. Honestly no regrets so far, it’s a lot better than the cheap safety razor I had before.

Anyone able to chime in on differences with Ecosia?

Who wants to start a nonprofit that buys and distributes FBI worker’s location data?

Probably the image itself. Does seem unlikely that bracket paper was shopped in or original, more likely at least the image of the guy is generated.

Really appreciate people calling these out. Community values are an important differentiator for the fediverse. I hope we will stand together for authenticity.

Digital solidarity will be essential as we move forward. We will need both social solutions which facilitate community technical support and engineered solutions which make that support more effective. I like to imagine systems of distributed sever management where we build upon the computational capacity of those around us and the human capacity of those that care for them. I want to rely on people I love instead of opaque tech firms that only care about money. Compute power must not defeat humanity.

Saw a car rear end a bike in a bus+bike only lane hard enough to put him on their hood. Guess somehow the bike wasn’t damaged and they decided to just let the driver go. So the driver in the through only bus lane proceeded to turn right across two right turn lanes with limited visibility, followed by another driver turning right from the lane to their left and the two narrowly avoiding a collision. If you’re hit by a reckless driver they need to be held accountable so they don’t hurt others.

The number of guys who do this in my local arcade bar really pisses me off. We’re all touching the same surfaces in there WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS.

Woah woah. Stop right there miss Shortcake. I won’t stand for this asparagus slander!

Shit, thanks for reminding me I’m scrolling instead of reading the copy in my bag.

She knows the power she holds.

I found it workable when I tried it recently, but wound up going with simpleX. I like the multi identity system and you can proxy it through tor. Found the app customization more flushed out too.
