Kinda wanting to install my own lemmy and slowly build up my subs in the hopes to eventually replace my reddit experience. Because I really do enjoy reading my subs on various totally obscure topics

Have a good Wednesday, also known as Mittwoch, also known as Wodin's Day.
Have a London derrière to cheer you up.

Anyone with a web cam recommendation? Must be Linux friendly. My built in camera died a month or so ago and this ThinkPad x1c6 may be old but still works perfectly (sans camera) so I don't want to trade this old thing in just yet.

I remember once getting flak for sharing the German quip of "if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis."

I hope those critics look at Florida and other fashy states and realize that this is what happens when you tolerate fascism at any level.

Visiting Europe was cool and all but nothing beats returning home to Nicaragua, leaving the airport, only to have the 11pm heat & humidity sucker punch the wind right out of you.

Welcome home indeed.

I've been writing Go 95% of the time for the last couple of years.

I've got a py2 codebase for a pretty useful app I need to port to py3.

I've forgotten a lot of what that entails.

Time to dust off the upgrade manuals.

If this is true, that prime-time Trump infomercial was an even more shameful act of journalistic malpractice on CNN's part than was previously understood.

Allowing audience members to applaud - but not boo or express disapproval - doesn't report the story, it materially alters it. It creates the false impression that Trump and his odious policies and behavior are more popular than they are.

(HT @lauren)

Many audience members at CNN’s town hall with former President Donald Trump on Wednesday were “disgusted” and “bewildered” by the spectacle, but were told to be respectful and not to boo, according to a report.

“The floor manager came out ahead of time and said, Please do not boo, please be respectful. You were allowed to applaud,” claimed Republican political consultant Matthew Bartlett in an interview with Puck News senior political correspondent Tara Palmeri on Thursday.

Accidentally typed rm templates/* and quickly realized my error. A second of panic before hg revert -Ca brought me back to my senses.

(not to worry, I had no other pending changes that reverting would affect)

Moral being, I've got 25+ years using *nix, coding, etc. and still do stupid shit all the time. Use tools that will save you whenever feasible.

“Proposed Texas Law Wants to Make School Children 'Battlefield' Ready

In response to school shootings, a new bill in Texas would require public schools to install "bleeding stations" and train kids as young as third grade in trauma care.”

This is grotesque.

The United States of America is a war zone.

The children are hostages.

The terrorists are hiding behind the hostages.

The terrorists are the Republicans.

The NRA funds terrorism.

Only you can end this.

@tedu is it just me or are you and other honkers seeing this? Trying to import from the xzone seems to fail more often than not, but using the new search import option works for those that failed.

#Naples was waiting for me.

(see if you can find the shit stain a friendly pigeon left for me on my jeans)

Picture of me under graffiti that spells my name.

Currently in #Naples, #Italy. The local football team just needs 1 point to lock in their Serie A championship. They just tied the score (giving the the championship if the score stays the same). The city is MADNESS! Love it!
