🥥 Asking Fediverse hive-mind for info/assistance:
Suddenly my desktop & laptop browsers are loading v e r y slowly.
Internet & browser performance normal (approx 200 Mbps via fiber optic) on my networked Android phone & tablet, but between 5 and 7 Mbps on the PCs.
(Home network Deco mesh system connected to ISP router.)
Linux, Pop!_OS, 24.04.
Pages not loading & timing out on Firefox & Chromium browsers, DO load but very slowly on Tor browser.
Could this be DNS or OS-related? #Linux, #PopOS
🥥 Mastodon engagement tip #2:
TIL, accidentally, that posting a toot about Capybaras will get you massive -- within reason -- interaction on the Fediverse.
A survey with an admittedly small sample indicates that Capybaras are the decentralized version of eyeball cocaine that dogs and cats are on corporate social media. 🥥 #SocialMedia, #Engagement, #Mastodon, #Capybaras, #TuckersBalls
🥥 What we have here is a crime wave!
In what appears to be a copycat crime, former President Jimmie Carter was convicted of a felony for holding up a Waffle House with a Glock pistol.
Necessary Disclaimer: This toot and the The Onion article to which it links are examples of satirical parody, which reasonable people should understand is meant to be humorous and NOT literally true. https://www.theonion.com/jimmy-carter-becomes-second-president-convicted-of-felo-1851512425

🥥 Call for venture capital!
Eye'm starting a gourmet food company that will fill the growing demand for artisanal rocks and pizza-topping glue.
Before you ask, yes, there WILL be a significant role for AI in company operations.

🥥 Well, Eye've been on this Mastodon part of the Fediverse for about a year and a week now and it's spoiled me.
Eye can't rustle up an once of interest in any other social medium.
Eye AM still looking to find anti-social media, though. 🥥 #Fediverse, #Fediversary, #Mastodon, #SocialMedia, #TuckersBalls
@jstatepost I have to confess that I have a good chortle each time I see your current name, not least because I can't work out if it's 'nuts that belong to Tucker Carlson' or 'Tucker Carlson is nuts'. Millennium Talcum is a fine alternative, though...
"The truth is that when Republicans win, the mainstream press feels the need to move to the right because they’re out of touch, and when Democrats win, the mainstream press feels the need to move to the right because it’s only a matter of time before Republicans win again. The answer to the millionaires and billionaires making these decisions is always to find an excuse to shift to the right." --Parker Malloy https://www.damemagazine.com/2022/07/11/mainstream-medias-rightward-lurch/ #Press, #LegacyMedia, #NBC, #CableNews, #RonnaMcDaniel
🥥 Just asking: Has everyone on social media just given up on the difference between lie and lay and nobody told me? 🥥 #Lie, #Lay, #SocialMedia, #TuckersBalls
🥥 Many people don't know yet about the #Alt4Me tag, so I'm using Palm Sunday to respond to images and video clips that lack alt-text with a comment containing the tag.
Several people have been kind enough to respond by crafting and providing alt-text for this media, which otherwise lacks it.
Thank YOU to all of YOU!
Bonus: Whenever I notice that someone has been kind enough and thoughtful enough to take the time to respond to the tag with text, Eye boost their alt-text! 🥥 #PalmSunday, #AltText
🥥 "But Biden is old," is the "But Her Emails," of the 2024 election.
It's a made-up talking point about a non-issue that's supposed to make us ignore damning facts about his unacceptable opponent.
Pleez don't be sucked in by the ill-intentioned propaganda. 🥥 #PresidentBiden, #ButHerEmails, #2024Election, #Propaganda, #TuckersBalls
🥥 "Donald Trump supporters have been creating and sharing AI-generated fake images of black voters to encourage African Americans to vote Republican."
"The co-founder of Black Voters Matter, a group which encourages black people to vote, said the manipulated images were pushing a "strategic narrative" designed to show Mr Trump as popular in the black community. 🥥 #Voting, #AI, #BlackVoters, #Trump, ##2024Election, #AfricanAmericans, #TuckersBalls https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68440150
