Mobile on iOS is a joke and I don’t know why I still bother. Current problem: if I randomly end on twitter, I can not leave. New URL loads, but I still see rendered twitter.

God to know that they such perfect browser offering that no more work is needed and they can focus of the fad od the week.

I will be really pissed if I’m forced to use chrome or or one of its derivatives.

I'm really tempted to find out if there's a USENET client for emacs. The only client I know of that's still around is Thunderbird/Betterbird.

Forget plastic straws ( regulated against them, but the impact is probably minimal), clothes are the greatest source of . What this article doesn’t seem to remember is that you don’t often need to get clothing made from synthetic fabrics. So drop the cheap disposable crap made in the far east and look at more locally made stuff from natural fibres.

decent enough point but the trouble is by your own admission the weathy can choose but the low wage earners who have far less choice are unlikely to be given that choice

Hi everyone,
I have already been in the fediverse for a while but decided to make an account fully dedicated to my streams on twitch.
I stream configuration stuff, packages I write or like, programming projects in or and sometimes gaming.
https://twitch.tv/pizzatorque
I have a casual stream planned for later today as well.

Sometimes it feels like I'm this animal that has all these weird emotions that my brain and body are just not evolved enough to handle. I'm doing the best I can, I just know more stuff than I have the capacity to reckon. Understanding my place in the Universe and knowing that it is both significant and completely insignificant at the same time, is the strangest feeling. Seriously, who put me in charge of my own meaning?!

Installed 7.4 on a Hetzner ARM VM yesterday, it's almost effortless, everything just works - and OpenBSD is a joy to configure, thanks to simplicity, comprehensive man pages and consistency.

Linux now feels almost like the Windows of the *nixes.

in some ways your right but bsd while being a good choice isn't always upto date with drivers especially

might try openbsd on my spare 368 T60

Boeing’s #1 problem is not that they lack a culture of accountability.

It’s that they hate unions and hate criticism. So many of Boeing's major actions in the last 20, even 30 years have had to do with their attempts to break unions and escape political pressure in Washington State. The payoff is pressing workers without enough training, denigrating and overruling the work of union employees, and outsourcing work to avoid increasing union employment. This has cost them $10s of billions.

@glennf

while anti-union sentiment might be true, the bigger issue is the removal of engineers from management decisions & poor management by the harvard MBA types who think you don't need product knowledge to manage a company

Yay. I have published my first thing! Eulogy for Signal. I have noticed that many of my less technical peers contacts have moved off Signal. A short review of the situation and a eulogy. 10 minute read. https://emberswrit.ing/why-signal-is-dying-where-to-now

never used it due the phone restriction so won't miss it

xmpp/jabber should be way but no one uses it, it's rare to see a handle in a fediverse profile

sadly whatsapp is where most ppl are

never think a post is forgotton here on fediverse, search by hashtage throws some interesting old posts now & then

@dekkzz76@emacs.ch avatar

@ember

unlike the algorithms that the usual suspects use that push older but more relevant posts to the back, hashtags searches in thre fediverse are simpler
