Dutch government announces that they'll make Mastodon available to all layers of the entire Dutch government, as a shared service of the government, starting in 2025!

The Mastodon pilot of the government celebrates their 1-year anniversary today, and as part of the evaluation they stated the Mastodon pilot "strengthens digital autonomy and [creates] a safe and reliable information supply".

In #Nicaragua, immigrants who just have residency (like myself) have to renew it every 6 months. It's an easy process but just usually very slow and very hot/uncomfortable/sweaty.

Today I had it done in record time. 2 hours and 10 minutes. Also wasn't terribly hot because we had both a tropical storm and a hurricane cover the country for the last week. So still a lot of residue cloud coverage. My own little silver lining.

Absentee ballot printed. Time to vote for a candidate who's not: 1) a convicted felon, 2) a grifter, and 3) orange.

@ols Did you do something specific to it? Is it an injury or ongoing pain?

I ask because I had lower back pain and sciatic issues most of my life. What used to help me a lot was a few stretches I'd do in the morning and evening but it never really resolved it. Also you should try to reduce dairy/red meats as they're pretty inflammatory and that can cause pressure on nerves, etc.

Since going vegan 8 years ago I've had no back pain at all, I assume due to way less inflammation in my body. Not preaching veganism to you, just saying that's what worked for me.

Multiple analyses show that if Trump had simply invested his multi-million-dollar inheritance in an index fund and didn’t touch it, he’d be a lot richer than he is now.

Think about that. His entire life’s work has been less successful than if he’d done nothing.

9850 Americans or 0.0029% of Americans are worth $100M or more, and could be subject to Harris's 25% tax on unrealized gains.

265,200,000 Americans or 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

The people who might 'only' be worth $75M want to lecture working Americans struggling to get by on how difficult life might become for them.

"We just sent you a temporary code by email. It will expire in 2 minutes"

Are you kidding me? These days with all the grey-listing and anti-spam measures it could take an email much longer than 2 minutes to arrive... Who in their right mind coded that?

Shit you see on the streets of Managua, #Nicaragua.

Tesla: Other than showing off, there is no reason to have one of these in Nicaragua (currently anyway, no real infrastructure or replacement parts here for this)

Motorcycle: You see people carrying all sorts of crap on their motorcycles here. I've seen a mid sized fridge once. But this one, takes the cake.

Mike Masnick on Zuckerberg’s cowardly letter to Jim Jordan:

"The only actual “news” out of all this is (1) Zuckerberg has no spine and simply cannot stand up to bad faith government pressure to change his moderation practices when it comes from Republicans (he was fine doing so when it came from Democrats) and (2) Donald Trump has accused himself of rigging his own election against himself.”

Three days ago my #github account was apparently “flagged” (whatever that means).

I wasn’t notified about it. No email. No banner in my account. I only discovered it when a workflow I was testing wasn’t working and my signed commits were “unverified” because “no email address is associated with the committer”. A friend at work then told me my profile page 404’d.

8 hours later GitHub also deleted the codespace powering my GitHub pages-hosted website, taking it offline.

How come we never hear media report that in the year prior to 10/7—Hamas killed 250 Israeli civilians, kidnapped 800 Israeli kids, took 8000 Israelis hostage, & built more than 12,000 homes on Israeli land?

You know why?

Because Hamas did none of those things. In reality, in the year prior to 10/7, the Israeli Govt killed 250 Palestinian civilians, kidnapped 800 Palestinian kids, took 8000 Palestinians hostage, & built 12,000+ homes on Palestinian land.

But go on—pretend this all began 10/7.

@AndrewHacks @crft You'll never do it. Though happy you have your flight booked for next week. Maybe Craft should come down and hang for a week or so too.

Also when Drew says 12 miles from the beach in LA, he means K-Town to Santa Monica. Aka, top 5 worst drives in the US. Then you gotta beach in Santa Monica which usually isn't that great due to tourist crowds.

I used to live in Cerritos and would shoot down to HB several mornings a week to surf. I loved it. Took about 25 minutes to get there and the drive back was usually easy. If there was traffic I could take the streets.

I just cut the line at living in OC. I may be a mile or two from the county border but f*ck living in OC.

@icy Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. Yea, the story could have been tuned up a bit and you could pretty much see where things were heading from mid-way but I just found the entire process so much fun to watch. I was scared a few times where I sort of jumped in my seat. Love when a movie can do that!

Plus the Nicholas Cage character was so damn creepy.

Randomly remembering the time I was walking down Venice Beach with my daughters and my buddy and his kids were with us. Enjoying the amazing SoCal weather when all of a sudden, a seagull drops a giant turd right on his eyeball.

Myself, and the kids, couldn't stop laughing even though he was in obvious pain. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. He had to get antibiotics and everything. Good times were had by all... well except my friend and his eyeball but the rest of us had a great day.

@jpmens From my insight as an American I think the vast majority know he's a moron. The problem is, he (claims to) represent something they agree heavily with. Lower taxes, Christian values, immigrants, racism, etc.

Still, it does seem like more and more Trump voters in 2016 will not be voting for him this year. I hope anyway.

But then again, the US never ceases to disappoint me so...

Hey #vegan fediverse folk. What's your go to breakfast for after a gym session that is NOT a smoothie? Preferably high in protein and carbs (I like power lifting).

Just looking for ideas to switch things up a bit. Decades of smoothies is starting to turn me off.

Please help me with a boost (bonk) so I can get all the gains. Thanks!

Realizing I never honk'd about the movie Long Legs. Go watch it! It's one of the best of that genre that I've seen in a while. Nick Cage was actually amazing. Such a creepy performance.

I rarely go to the cinema to re-watch a movie but I think I'll do that once it arrives here in Nicaragua next week.

@icy Hah, when I first started honking I pulled in patches from you and others and it was sort of painful merging but it's been like a year or so since I merged anything from the outside and @tedu has incorporated most of what I wanted anyway so now it's pretty painless to update my fork.

I'm so annoyed (I know I shouldn't be) that Phillip Pullman has yet to finish his Book of Dust trilogy. I've been waiting for the 3rd book for 5 years now.

I think I'll re-read the His Dark Materials trilogy again because it's been quite a while since I last read those and maybe it'll help shut me up about the current delay.

Traveling home to Nicaragua today. Was hoping to just drink casually on the planes but I've got a damn invoice/ledger/edge case bug I can't f'n track down. So now I will drink heavily until I find the damn cause.

To folks who manage #Kubernetes—be it at home or at work—I have a few questions for you.

  • What are your biggest annoyances with running Kubernetes?
  • And if you use a managed Kubernetes service, what do you like/dislike about it?
  • And finally, do you see value in being able to bring your own VMs/bare-metal machines as the workers, and have only the control plane be managed?

I'd really appreciate boosts!

Gentle reminder and request.

We are all going to see a lot of inflammatory, viral, racist, sexist libelous shit over the next months.

Your rage is what they want. They want you to dunk on it, repost it with your hot takes, and spread it.

Deny them the free publicity and platform. Please don't link, quote, or share that stuff.

Let it wither in darkness and loneliness.

Sunlight may be the best disinfectant when facts are in play, but this is influence. Repeating lies spreads them.
