Hi! Looks like I may have found a bug (using "Friendica 'Yellow Archangel' 2024.03 - 1557").

I try to post and get a blank page and the following in log/friendica.log. As far as I'm aware, I'm using the url tag correctly, but maybe not? Even if not, I'd hope for something more friendly than a blank page and a lost post! Thanks :)

For a minute the last line made me doubt myself. But a quick test and no, I did remember right: at least on ext*, permissions are stored in the inode.

Hey ,

Does Friendica not support uploading audio? Tried uploading an MP3 but both times I couldn't find the uploaded file in the posting interface.

I'm also using Windows and noticed I had to select all file types to find my MP3 to upload. So maybe Friendica doesn't disallow non-images but the file selection makes it seem like it might.

Thanks.

Is there a method by which I can tell whether this is a joke or not? You have to do a two-finger-salute on your car to activate a critical control (not to use it, just to make it available for use), which then deactivates itself, possibly just as you go to use it? Surely this is a parody?

Jesus Christ scammers are getting even more obnoxious. Phone call on the landline at 2am from someone claiming to be from a fraud department of a bank which none of us bank with. Clearly hoping they can catch people off-guard because they're half asleep and being told their money is all being siphoned off and they need to do what the scammer says with not a moment's hesitation or they'll lose everything. They can absolutely throw themselves into the sun. Who the hell can even live with themselves doing that for a living?

Counterpoint: this is very interesting! If we can figure out how they're doing it, it might help develop better cancer treatments for humans.

Is it bad that I tend not to reply to people replying to my posts? I think if I post something even vaguely thoughtful, I tend to use up all my thinking capacity while writing the post. I hit "send" when I've run out of mental capacity to think about the topic more.

So by the time anyone reads it, I'm off that and onto something else. When someone replies, I read and (usually) appreciate their reply, but don't really have the ability to construct a worthwhile reply of my own, so I tend to just "like" it and leave it at that. I do appreciate that someone's taken the time to read and reply. But I do also feel guilty that I'm not responding in kind.

I know I'm depressing. But the world is in quite a depressing state currently.

I find it hard to care. I don't mean I don't care, but that doing so causes me huge difficulties. I find I can't partly care, I either ignore it and try to go about my life, or if I don't ignore it there are almost debilitating levels of depression and anxiety that go with that.

There is pretty well nothing I, personally, can do about the global disasters in progress. Pretty much no one can. The oil companies could (hah, some hope!), and probably some other huge corporations, and politicians could, but almost no one else has the resources or power to make a detectable difference - reading the article makes it pretty clear.

Even if I had the money, all I could do is make decisions about what I do. If I owned a house I could decide to put solar panels on the roof or replace the gas boiler with a heat pump system, but read the article - that's going to make almost no difference. (It's necessary, but not sufficient - in global terms it would make no difference.) To make a difference we need a government to pass laws mandating change - gas supplies to be banned in 10 years, for example, and organising a massive programme of boiler replacement. Similarly for transport, what we actually need is huge investment in sustainable public transport to reduce car-dependence, rearrangement of land use to make typical journeys shorter (15 minute cities), and replacement of the remaining fossil-powered vehicles with EVs.

I can't do those things. Governments need to do them. All I get to do is cast a vote every few years to choose between several alternatives, most of whom won't do those things and the remaining ones who don't have a hope of getting elected. We also need the voting systems to be changed to make it possible to elect better leaders, but the existing leaders are the ones who control that.

Other than voting, I suppose I could protest. Extinction Rebellion made a good job of that, getting a lot of attention for climate issues. The government's response was to criminalise protest. Great.

So basically there's nothing useful I can do. With that in mind, I'd rather have a few hopeful articles once in a while so that I can occasionally stop being near-suicidally depressed about the situation and feel for a while that maybe, just maybe, those in charge will be able to put self-interest aside long enough to save the humans.

I once printed out the Inform manual and bound it into a book. The binding wasn't very good because I could only estimate how to bind a book based on examining books I had and seeing how a few had started to come apart, but it was mine and I was kinda proud of it. 🙂

I know I keep saying this, but in the UK this is not necessarily true. Only a few people in the UK can get vaccinated against Covid-19. Most aren't eligible for vaccination on the NHS, and private vaccination (as far as I'm aware) still isn't available yet. You can pay for a flu jab, but not a covid jab.

This is completely absurd. Covid is significantly more dangerous than flu, circulating almost uncontrolled, while safe, effective vaccines exist. But most people aren't allowed to have them, even if they are willing to pay.

"Dream job"? My dream is not to need a job.

Or rather, that no one will need a job.

These days he's more like Adolf Trump or Donald Hitler.. :blobcatscared:

Trump is literary copying Hitler and Mussolini and when we say something about that their reaction is that we are "obsessed with him"?

No, we warn for a dangerous fascist who's gaining support and is apparently accepted? :amaze:

It is time to wake up..

I'm not sure how much closer you can get to "our policies are a violation of human rights" than this without saying those words in that order.

Hmmm.

Would it be a good idea if we stopped referring to "the climate crisis" as if it were a being in its own right, separate from humanity and for some reason trying to screw us all out of a habitable biosphere? Maybe instead we could talk about tackling the menace of the petroleum industry, since they are basically the cause of pretty much the entire crisis.

How do we get an international law made to prevent governments using our money to subsidise the extraction and use of oil and other fosil fuels? It's a matter of the survival of our species.
