Image is whats on twitter now. All tweets about their propaganda, silent censorship, silently censored, removed. Twitter is no longer a social media site.

The last image was the Canadian Womens Hockey Team Beat Russia, 6 to 1. The Russians showed up late without test results, so Canada played in masks, every minute of every period. I was and am, filled with admiration.

Entire Site Is Content Warning. Fascism is harming my friends, taking democracy, its ugly, be warned. Triggers.

    Mastodon is a stream. Not a bulletin board.

    You cannot post and expect it to be seen. (I dont mean replies, dont mock me with two replies, grr)

    Its a river. A stream. Posts can flow by faster than they can be read. And it isnt just one stream, its, local, federated and home at least.

    Put your "look at this" posts in twice, easiest way is to boost your post at a different hour, for the peeps on at different times.

    Microsoft's Edge browser appears to be sending all the URLs you visit to its Bing API website.

    Reddit users first spotted the privacy issues with Edge last week, noticing that the latest version of Microsoft Edge sends a request to bingapis.com with the full URL of nearly every page you navigate to. Microsoft tells The Verge it's investigating ...

    Jeeepers, is this directly from Redmond?

    It's Not My Fault Inc. has already announced lawsuits for Microsoft, for using excuses for which their licencing has expired, and for several more new excuses, for which negotiations have not concluded.

    "If Microsoft contiinues to throw out excuses they have not paid for, we will see them in Court," It's Not My Fault's spokesperson said today, "our stockholders deserve to have their "Get Out Of Jail Free" products respected and paid for."

    Amid all the noise, a couple people have asked me if I sell prints.

    I'm flattered that you might want one, but I'm not really equipped to do that right now.

    However, almost all my online photos are available for download at full resolution on my Flickr page, under a CC-NC license, so you can have one made locally at a large format fine-art printer.

    Personally, I use a Canon PRO-4100, and print mostly on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta paper, usually with some black point correction.

    An envelope is all you need. Until you get into the $ thousands, I don't believe you need to report as a business. I am not a lawyer in any jurisdiction, but I think this isnt the fill out forms complexity you think it is. I think. Again until you make real money in the thousands.

    Thank you so much for making your art available CC-NC, hat tipped.

    A woman said she was raped while serving in the National Guard.

    She died soon after.

    Under the direction of its leader Maj. Gen. Ondra Berry, the Nevada National Guard launched a zero-tolerance campaign in January 2021 to address sexual assault. It encouraged soldiers to report rape no matter how much time had passed and vowed to support them.

    That same month, Sgt. First Class Allison Bailey reported being raped twice the previous May and June by a fellow Guardsman.

    I disagree with those who say “Let’s focus on spreading awareness for Mastodon—not the Fediverse” for three reasons:

    1. Some people hate Mastodon. If they don’t like Mastodon, they should know about options to their liking.

    2. Some people are looking for alternatives to Facebook, YouTube, Instagram—and Mastodon is not the answer for them.

    3. What about developers looking to build novel and new social media? They should know what ActivityPub does.

    And there is wide diversity in Mastodon. Try fediverse, look into the new apps finding ways to join in.

    This is the no money, no billionaires, no advertising, no planned intended surveilance, free to make your own replacement for a forty four billion dollar company.

    It didnt take 45 billion dollars to beat Elron. <-----

    It took smart and free and walking away. There is a lesson here.

    "Michigan Republicans Vote To Keep Law Barring Unwed Couples From Living Together"

    “What year are they living in?” asked Michigan Democratic state Sen. Mallory McMorrow as Nine Michigan Republicans voted Wednesday to keep a nearly century-old state law that bars an unmarried woman and man from living with one another.

    OK, have I got a treat for you. Spoiler, Star Trek: Picard.

    One, the Season is over, the last Episode pointed in a fantastic direction. This is the spoiler, it looks like Picard sets up, (please please please) ok never mind, go watch.

    But in the meantime, I'd like to introduce a GREAT Mastodon member, since last November, Jerry Ryan , Seven of Nine!

    You know about binary, at least a little. Its a numbering system. The one you know best is the base ten system. You count up to ten, and that becomes a group called ten, two are called twenty, etc. Binary counts to two. One, ten, eleven, "a hundred" (its not called a hundred) 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000

    Some inuit kids invented a written system for the ancient inuit base 20 numbering system.

    The inuit count in base 20. And the numbers are fascinating.

    If you're interested in particular topics, you can join Fediverse groups. They work like this:

    1. Join a group by following its account, leave by unfollowing
    2. Posts from that group will start appearing in your timeline
    3. Post to a group by mentioning it in a public post

    The groups work via third party services, the most popular ones at the moment are https://chirp.social and https://a.gup.pe.

    Laws that bind and protect. Fascism is when a group, the rich, decides laws protect them, but dont bind them, and no laws protect you, and all laws bind you.

    The governor of Florida sent police to "arrest" a political opponent's 13 year child for tweeting rudely about Uvalde child shooting event.

    AND TOOK THE CHILD AWAY.

    This is the second time the raving governor sent police to the woman's home.

    Canada's news system has been seized, bought sold off, and is now under the control of a far right American Corporation (most Canadian Newspapers large and small)

    There are a handful of excellent small regional papers, Halifx Examiner for example, and The Tyee. The Tyee has come to Mastodon, and thats great, its a great paper, swinging and landing far above its weight, and more than regional paper, well worth a follow, maybe even a bell.

    Dear devs,

    It's NEVER ok to lock people out of a webapp because their User-Agent doesn't match your predefined list. 😡

    Especially webapps they need to manage their healthcare.

    (I am in fact using one of the browsers on this list, your code just isn't able to tell.)

    President Carter, now in his last days, home to be with his family as he passes, once personally saved Ottawa from a Nuclear Disaster, at risk, and cost, to his life, suffering from radiation poisoning all his life.

    Canada had a Nuclear Accident in the 50s, asked the US for help, Lieutenant Jimmy Carter lead a team out of NY.

    The future President Carter, had his team lower him into the reactor.

    I had no idea. I have no idea why this isn't widely known

    Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.

    Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts (more than Belgium or Chile) to process less than 7 transactions per second :

    Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.

    This could be a joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dollars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.
