New entry requirements for #dogs travelling #from Canada to the #UnitedStates could make life more difficult for people who use service or #GuideDogs, advocates fear.
Under updated guidelines to reduce the spread of #rabies announced by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention #CDC, a slew of new requirements for dogs crossing the border that vary based on a dog's age, country of origin & #travel history.
Ugh, I really tried to stay out of #fediverse drama but I guess I have to say a few things. Most of you know me as a #firefish core team member, so I think I owe it to the admins of almost 500 firefish servers out there and to the almost 5000 members of firefish.social.
So, yeah, if you haven't noticed, things aren't looking good for firefish. Its owner, Kainoa, has practically abandoned the project, which had its last stable release out on July. My last message to them was a week ago, and I haven't heard back since. Firefish.social, besides the other severe technical problems it's had due to mismanagement in the last few months, now also has serious federation issues. I hope Kainoa is well irl, but this is irresponsible and unacceptable.
I hear some of you saying "but you're in the core team too, don't try to put the blame elsewhere!". So I have to explain what being a core team member in firefish meant. Kainoa invited me, Namekuji and a few others to be part of the "core team", but kept all decisions and responsibilities. We didn't co-own this. We never shared donations. We were just volunteers, who were honestly trying to make it a great project. This didn't work well due to concentration of power to one person, who didn't keep their promises. I don't mean to be harsh to Kainoa, I mean we knew they were only 19 when they started the project. Still, it's a bummer to anyone who chose to trust and support Firefish. This includes myself.
I don't know if it's early to consider firefish a dead project, but it sure seems like that for a few months now. Maybe it can be resurrected, idk. It's all up to Kainoa.
In the meantime, Namekuji and I are starting #Catodon, which will have some differences with Firefish, and will include many changes I had discussed with Kainoa but were never implemented. If you decide to stick with us, we promise to be serious about this. I strongly believe in the fediverse and its potential, and I want to build a great platform for it. This was my goal when I chose to be involved in Calckey/Firefish. It's still my goal with Catodon, only this time I can stand behind it 100%, as the project will be co-managed by Namekuji and me. If Firefish left you with a bitter aftertaste, we hope we can build a better relationship and prove ourselves worthy of your trust. Catodon will go public in a matter of days, possibly even hours. We'll have more to say about its direction then.
In the meantime, I just wanted to share my apologies for any inconvenience regarding Firefish, as I'm still technically a core team member, whatever that means. But frankly, I tried so hard to make things go differently - but there's only so much you can do when it's someone else's project. I'm really sorry for how things went.
But this is not the end of the fedi journey for me. I'm super excited about the chance to do some things right this time with Catodon. Life goes on, I guess! Hope to see you soon on our #codeberg repo, so we can start a new creative adventure together =)
Just need to reiterate that From is the best horror-mystery TV show I've seen in years. Has the potential to go on for a long while, but I have a feeling the 3rd season may be the last. #FROM

@Milnoc Reply from pagMenzies: much appreciated.##from FanCRTCprofiling:
Please Tell Milnoc I change profession.
I now work in a pickle factory, but I got fired today.
The pickle slicer fascinated me so I called the wife and said I'm going to put my pickle in the pickle slicer.
Wife said, "do it".
So I did.
Then we both got fired.
Wife isn't happy.
(sorry, have not figured out how to copy an anymated GIF from Melon's web site, but you can guess what it does).
Does anyone actually browse the web in full screen on a desk-based monitor?
Even when I had a 1024x768 resolution to work with, and absolutely when I upgraded to 1280x1024 (goodness that monitor was almost square), I would have my browser windowed, cos I had other stuff going on, on my screen, and wanted to easily be able to click about to switch focus without using the startbar/dock.
That's even more the case now with an ultrawide monitor!
Started watching this last night after hearing nothing but good things. I didn't know what I expected the show to be about (I knew nothing), but it wasn't THAT. Definitely intrigued.
We're only watching ONE episode a night, and have only watched the FIRST ONE so don't spoil anything for me if you weigh in!

Decided to just spend this, no special numbers, not a star bill, it’s in good nick for being from the ‘50s, but that’s it. The young cashier wouldn’t take it! She had never seen one, held it up like it was magic. I took him back, he’s going back in a drawer… #five#dollar#old#bill#currency#antique#money#from the #fifties
