A Welshman walks into a ‘Spoons.

Tells the barman he's got a great joke about Reform voters.

The barman tells him that he's a Reform voter, so are the 3 big guys at the end of the bar and the 2 woman sat next to him.

'So do you still want to tell it', the barman taunts him.

The man says. 'No. Not if I'm going to have to explain it 6 times"...

Y’all ever play The Publix Game?

You try to maximize the number of BoGo items you can buy, while still sticking to a grocery list that complements your current inventory.

But, you have to do it while pretending you’re a contestant on Supermarket Sweep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarket%5FSweep

Photo: three people, two contestants in yellow sweaters and one game show host. They're in a supermarket. Flowers in the background. One contestant is about to sprint with their cart, and the other is cheering them on.

Not sure where #Google asked for feedback about their developer verification program, but they surely didn't talk with #FLOSS devs, civil society, privacy organisations or their #Android users

#FDroid did since September, and interacted with folks in the Fediverse, forum, email and in person

They all voiced one opinion: "developer verification must be stopped"

@marcprux has written an open letter, signed by likeminded organisations who want to #keepandroidopen

Notes on Setting up Forgejo on Coolify with SSH https://rknight.me/blog/notes-on-setting-up-forgejo-on-coolify-with-ssh/

I had a knightmare getting SSH push/pull working with this and it turned out "do less" was the answer. Also includes some other miscelanea on setting up Forgejo to start moving away from GitHub.

Thanks to @cory @zicklepop @adam and @daniel for their help with this.

Also: We're raising money to help pay for the permits, printing, and pumping out sound that it'll take to make this event better than any No Kings before. Please donate here: https://indivisiblesf.org/no-kings-3/donate

Dear Lazyweb,

I have two YouTube accounts, jwz and dnalounge, and I'm using the oauth API with both of them to automate uploads and stuff. With the DNA account, I am getting a refresh_token that lasts forever. But with the jwz one, I am getting a refresh_token that can only refresh the access_token for a week, and then I have to log in again. Any ideas what fuckery is afoot?

The DNA token does this...

When we demand that tech leaders stand up to autocratic creep and express revulsion at their acquiesce to fascists, it's not idle talk. What we (and they) do matters:

So, odds are anybody who is still active on Twitter is an asshole, right?

But it's also taken me too long to notice that Twitter activity also a solid predictor of somebody being a massive "AI" booster. Would have been able to avoid a lot of annoying discussions had I cottoned onto this sooner

One of the common misnomers around the migration away from toxic tech stacks is that the options are either 1) services managed by a company or 2) everyone #selfhosting themselves.

There is however an often overlooked 3rd option of community-scaled infrastructure. Here a group identifies their needs, plans & deploys to meet them. Much like a community garden, that infrastructure has people skilled & dedicated to its upkeep in providing for that group, working bees & skillshare as needed.

I prob won't ever use BetterHelp or any Uber-for therapy apps. Not hearing good things about how they treat their therapists, shocking.

I'm being a little tongue in cheek with titling the folder "Depression Apps," but I do find some of these to be useful.

I use Endel and Finch the most. Endel is one of those "frequency music therapy" apps. No idea what the science says about it, but it's nice to meditate with it on. Finish gameifies your tasks. Love it. Use it often.
