We were all up before first light.
Summer's pal needed some help that was outside her wheelhouse so she barked.
Turned out to be not so bad, but since we were awake, we got started on our day.
I think we are finally getting to the getting better side of my husband's infection. No more nausea, and he has kept down two doses of antibiotics. I even coaxed him into eating some scrambled eggs, and toast this morning. Whew!
Summer and I patiently, or stubbornly, depending on how you look at it, stood outside to see the sunrise just in case it got colorful.
We were right to wait.
Most of my decent photos are because I waited for the right moment. Even using an old phone I think patience is the key.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Ya memang kalau kita lupakan jajahan warga Belanda dari tahun 1500-an, diteruskan dengan pendirian salah satu perusahaan yang paling berharga di dunia yaitu #VOC pada tahun 1800an, sampai dengan kemerdekaan #Indonesia pada tahun 1945, memang negara Belanda dikepalai oleh orang-orang kaya yang bekerjasama dengan rukun.

Artikel ini berbohong tentang sejarah kemakmuran bangsa Belanda. Kedamaian di negara itu berdasarkan penjajahan dan pencurian skala besar kekayaan dari jutaan orang di sisi balik dunia. Cerita sejarah Belanda itu tidak lengkap tanpa fakta ini.

Bangsa manakah yang akan dijajah oleh orang kaya di Amerika Serikat untuk meniru kesuksesan #Belanda jaman dulu?

If you ignore the colonialism and genocide the Dutch oligarchs were super cool.

I wasn't sure how to send help to So Cal so I went with World Central Kitchen. They seem to be where they can do the most good whenever, and wherever, there is a catastrophe.
They even came here after our last damaging earthquake.
I'm sure the needs will be overwhelming.

non so se lo sai ma l'inventore di Nostr Γ¨ un olavista convinto. Olavo de Carvalho era um astrologo fuori di testa da programmi televisivi poi trasformato e considerato grande filosofo da milioni di fuori di testa estremisti di destra, il guru dei bolsonaristi praticamente, una persona orribile che scriveva, diceva e faceva cose orribili. Io personalmente meno ho a che fare con questi mostrini meglio Γ¨, ovviamente compreso quello che sti mostrini inventano, perchΓ© sicuramente non Γ¨ mai cosa buona.

@elvecio AHAHAHA, che storia deprimente 🀣🀣🀣

Comunque un protocollo Γ¨ un protocollo e, se anche gli strumenti sono sempre politici, si tratta comunque di un protocollo interessante di resistenza alla censura

@talksina

in reply to elvecio

@elvecio Siamo d'accordo che un protocollo è un protocollo, adesso le comiche sarebbero se questi di estrema destra si trovassero tutti su X e Facebook mentre noialtri andiamo tutti su Nostr - un'arma inventata da loro, che gli si ritorce contro! Io comunque ancora non interagisco perché se qui posso difendermi dalle volgarità, lì no
in reply to Elena Brescacin

Ah, Nostr. Dove per registrati serve un diploma in "sistemi di cifratura" e un "master in blockchain".

E poi uno si chiede come mai ci trovi solo cryptobros tendenti al mistico.

in reply to TiTiNoNero

@77nn @elvecio Io ci sono riuscita in poco, di blockchain al momento capisco zero; comunque su argomenti di mio interesse al momento c'Γ¨ poco perciΓ² lo tengo come muletto

Ma va, prova a creare un account su primal.net! È a prova di utonto, sul serio.
Ti chiede solo un username, niente email, né password, né altro. È immediato ed è perfino più semplice che iscriversi sui social centralizzati tradizionali.

Nel fediverso invece Γ¨ difficile per l'utente medio, tra scegliere la piattaforma, poi l'istanza (leggendo le regole di ognuna) inserire email, password, aspettare la verifica via mail dell'admin d'istanza ecc.

@shai qualsiasi ecosistema che minimizza la gestione dei dati personali deve usare l'autenticazione basata su nome utente e password. Anche la nostra istanza feddit.it non chiede email, ma necessita di questa autenticazione. Se fai a meno di autenticazione, devi compensare con un sistema di tracciamento che solitamente Γ¨ invasivo sia per ragioni di autenticazione sia per ragioni di sfruttamento commerciale dei dati personali e comportamentali dell'utente

The fact that Ars wrote this without an image is unacceptable. I mean, I get it, but curiosity cannot be held back like that.

@cerement Yeah, I googled it. One of those things you wish you hadn't.

@cerement Man's just trying to blend in with our future robot overlords. I wonder if they'll take it as blackface.


I need to practice nighttime photography more. But I'm happy with this one!

Facebook alternatives (an incomplete list): With a lot of people talking about leaving Facebook and other Meta properties, but also often expressing frustration with the most popular other options not having the same functionality, I started thinking about what could be done, where, and how. Here are my initial thoughts. michaelhans.com/eclecticism/?p…

Anyone else noticed that, in addition to shifting, the Overton window has shrunk considerably?
:blobcatthink:
in reply to Sir Rochard 'Dock' Bunson

Yes, it's been shifting and shrinking considerably for years now. At least since Trump announced his candidacy in 2016.

Retrospect is always 20/20. What *was* the lunatic fringe in the late 2000s is now mainstream.

Fucking nauseating, really.

Do you think these companies are going to stop with trans folks? They're going to enable hate speech and dehumanizing rhetoric against anyone who's not an able bodied straight white Christian man. The time to speak out is now. [contains quote post or…

SCOTUS seems inclined to uphold the tiktok ban. Meta thru Instagram will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of this. At this point, the only major social media will be Meta, Twitter, and YouTube with Meta effectively having a monopoly on short form video…

They're straight up going to erase trans people from Meta apps. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
