For those looking for activity on 60 meters, there is a net at 1845 mountain time on Thursdays on channel 5. If it is occupied then they move down a channel until they find a clear one. Give it a try!

How do yall write essays? Because it takes me so many drafts of writing and rewriting my core thesis/point before I get it the wording right.

Part of me thinks the digital revolution will come, and when people finally leave these corporate platforms there will be a treasure trove of content explaining what to do next.

And part of me feels that if we don't have anyone evangelizing on the other side of the wall, people will never break free.

I've deleted everything but mastodon, micro blog, and a handful of small community forums. And that's great, but what now? I can only preach to the converted.

If you’re speaking out against #ICE, but don’t believe that ICE should be completely abolished, then I’m confused about your end goal?

ICE was fascist from day one.

Is there a secret threshold of fascism that we’re okay with? Is fascism only bad when it operates out in the open; when it embarrasses us?

Is it the locking humans in cages that’s the issue, or is it that the cage no longer has a blanket over it?

`yazi` is an excellent TUI program for file management, but I've been using the terminal with `cd`, `ls`, `rm`, and `cp` for so long. It's hard to switch to a TUI-based file manager. If you're a TUI person, I highly recommend it. https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi #rust #tui

okay, that was weird... friggin gremlins.

upgraded server O/S & rebooted & domain-wide email handling glitch is introduced. examined all the config files, found no problems.

sooooo, just forthehelluvit ran `sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtual` and then `sudo systemctl restart postfix`... magically, the problems disappear and all my old test emails that vanished into the night show up where they should.

@jsonstein

Here are my prediction(s). Within the next 10-20 years:

1. McKinsey or HBR will produce an article (or series) describing the need for critical, analytical thinking among new hires, holding up other companies (say, in Korea or China) that emphasize this.

2. The WSJ will recognize the management techniques at a few successful companies (which they will call "innovative") that involve mentoring new hires to develop critical thinking. This will generate subscription revenue.

Yog's Law for traditional publishing is "money flows TO the writer." In self-publishing, the corollary is "The writer is in CONTROL of the money." If neither of these laws apply to your situation, then there's almost certainly a problem.

It's an unfortunate commentary on the state of things when a sitting president can post a kind, respectful and empathetic message of support to his immediate predecessor, and the universal immediate reaction to it is "Well, HE clearly didn't write THAT."

Kudos to the staffer who did, however.
