Emails should have a reference link. I should be able to write in my notes that I emailed someone and I should be able to hyperlink to that specific email in my inbox (not having to save the email as a file).

Why doesn't this exist? Or does it?

No, it's not only the US who will suffer from RFK Jr cancelling vaccine research.

1️⃣ You can't just instantly teleport research. Cancelling US projects slows global progress.

2️⃣ Viruses spread across borders so preventing pandemics will always be a group project. The US is letting the team down and putting the world at risk.

This is better advice than I get from *my* IT guy! :blobcatheadphones:

#cats #CatsOfMastodon #CouldntWaitForCaturday #IT #HelpDesk #tech #technology #IAmDB

It's a four-panel meme with a caption. The panels each have a slightly different headshot photo of a really cute kitty cat who's mostly white except for its black ears and a striking and unique thin strip of black fur that starts at the kitty's left ear, circles the left side of its head then curls upward at its chin toward its mouth, ending in a small circle of fur right at its lower lip. The strip of black fur couldn't look more like a telephone headset if it tried lol. I mean, you can't miss it! That it looks like a telephone headset is the first thing most people would think of, IMO. Anyhoo, the first panel has the kitty quote talking on the phone un-quote and saying "Right..." The second says "Uh-huh..." and the next one says "Ah, I see." The last panel has the kitty saying "Have you tried pushing it off the counter?" under a caption that says "Thank you for calling Kitty I.T. How may I help you today?"

Statement from the chef-owner of Good Pierogi of Martha's Vineyard: "In our minds and hearts, selling to Alan Dershowitz was the equivalent to supporting his decisions and statements." 🧵 www.instagram.com/p/DM_g1OyxirL/

My name is Krem Miskevich. I am a chef, and together with my spouse Lily Rose, we co-own Good Pierogi, an Eastern European pop up currently operating on Martha's Vineyard. The business was born from a desire to connect my Polish heritage with local food growers and producers on-island, and to feed its residents and visitors. I want to directly address the incident that occurred last Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at the West Tisbury Farmers Market, which has garnered national attention, and more than a few fabricated and fallacious claims about the events and myself.
The fuss affects not only me, my partner, and our business, but the other extremely hard-working vendors who come together Wednesdays and Saturdays to sell their wares from land and sea. The negative impact on them is unfair and I never intended for my decision to cause so much consternation to a community I deeply care about. The catalyst was our legally justified decision to not sell our pierogi to Alan Dershowitz, a figure recognized locally and nationally. When he came to our booth, I experienced a surge of emotion. As a chef, I love to share what I cook with the public, regardless of who they are. In this case, what was in the forefront of my mind was the fact that this was the high-profile attorney who represented several sexual predators and abusers including Jeffrey Epstein.
I have no desire to argue about the legal system in the U.S., or one's right to a fair trial. But, I personally know too many sexual abuse survivors. Mr. Dershowitz consciously decided to befriend and defend men who have been accused of abusing and harming women. The food we make is a labor of love, it's our craft. In our minds and hearts, selling to Alan Dershowitz was the equivalent to supporting his decisions and statements. It caused me to pause and question my willingness to sell to him and when I did, he began to harass us, misgender me, and film us without our consent.
In the days that followed, Mr. Dershowitz chose to execute a public smear campaign. If not for the traction gained from his one-sided, mythical storyline, we would have remained silent. However, the continued aggression and threats of groundless litigation have been followed by the distribution of defamatory flyers where we conduct business in an effort to cement further falsehoods. He has also taken to the internet and used the news media to circulate his fiction. I do not wish to argue with Mr. Dershowitz about Israel. But, to contextualize his hurtful rant, I think it would be helpful to share a bit about myself and our business:

After lo these many years, I think I might finally be getting close to understanding ffmpeg's filtergraph language. Maybe.

I recently made some improvements to my resize.pl script, which I wrote so that I wouldn't have to understand filtergraph, and it doesn't get a lot of downloads so I figured I might as well hype it. It is one of the single most useful scripts I've written. If you also would prefer to not learn filtergraph, this is for you. Run it with --help.

My daily driver for the past five years has been the #MacBookPro 16in Intel i9 (2019).

It was time for a new laptop. I almost got the brand new M4 with 48gb of RAM.

Price: $2,900

But after making an honest assessment of my needs, and what I actually do on my laptop: web dev, graphic design, and light video editing, I resisted the urge to overspend.

So I got a MacBook Pro 16in M1 32GB refurbished.

Price $930

Saved 2g's. I'm proud of myself 😭
