These three dots are the one thing that annoys me by far the most on Mastodon.

Roughly every couple of minutes the website seems to lose connection to the feed and I have to manually restore it.

After several years I'm losing hope that this will ever be fixed 🫣

My not quite 4 year old Pixel 5 wants to die, indicating it by falling into an infinite bootloop. Luckily, it wasn't quite infinite, and it managed to boot after all. But that means I'm on the market for a new #Android phone, unfortunately.

What people use these days? My choice of Pixel was mostly due to the least amount of crapware and tasteless custom launchers I'd find in Samsungs et al. Has anything changed by now?

Also, small size and without "AI"? Am I wanting too much?

Warning: fediverse scam alert

You've promised yourself that you'll sit down to just read a few toots and, two hours later, you've read 500+ toots, made six new friends, and installed Linux or BSD on your laptop.

What a scam.

TIL that Tom and Ray Magliozzi (better known to me as "Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers") opened a garage they called the Hacker's Haven.

"These were the days of car DIY so we thought, let’s open a garage where folks could do their own work and we’ll rent them the space and tools... We felt so sorry for most of these DIY wrecks (and we’re not talking about the cars) that we ended up doing most of the work ourselves."

😆

I like the ethos though:

Monday, July 21, is the deadline for public comments on the FCCs proposal to hand most of the amateur radio 440 band over to a startup space company. If you are in the US, PLEEAAASE make a comment. This is insanity.

The New York Times Pitchbot creates satiric examples of headlines reflecting the "Paper of Record" fetish for (among other things) normalizing right wing extremism.

The headline below -- "Should ICE Agents Be Allowed to Wear Masks? It Depends Whom You Ask." -- is NOT from Pitchbot.

Head=>desk.

Trump is now posting private mortgage documents from Adam Schiff, and I URGE people who have less self-control than Pavlov's dogs to EMPHASIZE that it is likely a crime for him to have accessed these docs, if you do post them.

TIL: PBS has a streaming service called Passport that you get access to for as little as $5 donated to your local station per month. It's good! Lots of great documentaries, some foreign language shows, usual PBS stuff.
