You can't make this sh*t up!

Trump speaking in Las Vegas yesterday:

And remember, Florida’s easier than other places, you have the ocean and you have the sun. There’s something about that that works. But — you (Nevada) have the sun, too, but you don’t have the ocean, I can tell. You definitely don’t have the ocean. Maybe someday you’ll have the ocean, you never know,” said Trump, who made a motion with his hand before the crowd applauded him.

I kind of wish that I had joined a large instance and migrated servers a few times before self hosting, like there is shared experience that I missed since I don't really have a local timeline. Though I will say that the @lisamelton boost experience is by far better than any algorithmic timeline and is a must follow, especially if you are self hosting

olavf,

@squizzleflip @lisamelton
Large host -> small host -> self-host but my friends will be able to join. Managed host tho, for several reasons beyond I'm already maintaining a vps

I just wrote something on my to-do list and then crossed it off, because, dammit, I deserve to cross it off even if I forgot to write it down!

olavf,

@grammargirl not doing something that.can be put off until tomorrow, and doing something that's "someday" but not on the short list is totally legit and counts as an accomplishment

    @Teri_Kanefield Trump's used to being surrounded by Wesselbergs that are willing to risk jail time for him. But he's been abusing that, and it seems that some see the bus coming.

    We need a alternative to . I'd be surprised if one was not already in the works. Etsy seems to take advantage of its merchants so it's time to wrest the power from the corporations and give it to the people.

    olavf,

    @ablackcatstail @coopartisans is taking a stab at it.

    A quick tip if you have friends who haven't joined Mastodon yet: Don't say any variation of "join Mastodon" at this point

    Just tell them to join either your instance or some instance you know that you think they'll gel with. Eliminate the decision paralysis and just get them started :3

    olavf,

    @SabreMc it's ~$15-20 (per year) for a domain name and around $10/mo to have someone like Masto.host to do all the tech stuff

    (Guess what I'm doing tomorrow to lure my friends. I've been lazy)

    Here are meta-results: the engagement on Twitter, Threads and Mastodon for my last post about engagement on Twitter, Threads and Mastodon. Now with more Excel features!

    Threads is the winner by a mile.

    olavf,

    @human3500 @alex

    A lot.of people care about Threads: will it legitimize, destroy, or relegate us to XMPP obscurity?

    @mariyadelano@hachyderm.io avatar

    The hardest part in trying to write about is figuring out how to compassionately describe both sides of the divide.

    On one hand, I’m rooted in the camp and you have all seen me making fun of the cringe and status-chasing on Threads.

    On the other hand, I’m a marketer and a long-time lover of many mainstream web spaces. I don’t hate a lot of popular culture. And I missed so many of the people who only now migrated from .

    So how do I approach this with kindness?

    olavf,

    @mariyadelano I've opted to just stay out of it for the most part. There are some legitimate concerns, a lot of FUD, and a vocal minority that wants the Fediverse to be a walled garden. But Threads is coming and ultimately nobody knows what it actually means. Other than maybe more corps & orgs will follow, either their or doing their own federated thang

    olavf,

    @Jennifer_Pinkley @mariyadelano if the options include using ActivityPub it won't matter that much. Like if Flickr joins the party they can do their thang and interact with everyone else too.

    All my life whatever social media I've been on there has always been Niel Gaiman hanging around there too for some reason and only now have I stopped to wonder if this means anything since it's not apparently "normal"

    olavf,

    @photovotary @futurebird when I've seen him post, it's definitely him. None of that "nice, nice. Thanks for buying my book" stuff.

    Edit: he mostly pops in here every couple of days so maybe it's round-robin lol

    Experts panic over Florida tourism as major conventions flee state’s 'unfriendly political environment'

    Convention organizers are pulling out of Florida

    When asked for a reason why they were scrapping plans, one organizer wrote simply: “Governor DeSantis.”

    Thousands of dollars are also being lost by restaurants and attractions by visitors going elsewhere.

    ...Community Schools Conference – it also pulled out of more than 2,000 hotel rooms.

    https://www.alternet.org/experts-panic-over-florida-tourism-as-major-conventions-flee-state-s-unfriendly-political-environment-2662247798/

    olavf,

    @GW from a quick Google maps survey around the convention center, non-convention cheapest room, prices start at around $100. 2000 rooms would be $750k hotel revenue over three days, probably much, much higher. This is also assuming bed taxes are included.

    @ianbetteridge one thing London does right is there's a corner of Hyde Park where anyone can get on a literal soap box and megaphone whatever they want. They think people are listening but mostly they're just laughed at. Most.of the actual protests (at least.my last visit) were opposite Parliament house.

    olavf, to mastodon

    Spinning up a new this weekend, so who's your favorite managed host? Or can you convince me to use something other than Mastodon l, but it has to be managed

    Managed because I want to have more than one admin and don't want to limit that to IT friends.

    olavf,

    @kenthebin they're my plan since that's all they do and they understand resource requirements better than most alternatives. But it never hurts to ask :)

    Maricopa County saw 425 heat-associated deaths in 2022 https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/maricopa-county-saw-425-heat-associated-deaths-in-2022

    olavf,

    @cobalt 1.5-2 weeks of 110F+, maybe a few around 120F is not going to be pretty. Not just the unhoused, older houses and older HVAC systems

    I mean here once it gets much over 105 even the brand-new AC starts struggling a bit because they didn't believe in insulation in the 50s. A lot of folks don't have the luxury of setting the AC over 80F

    It's too dignified on Mastodon. Where are my trash goblins at?

    @vmstan @Teal Norwegian akavit and Turkish coffee are a fantastic combination. Especially if you don't have anything important to do that day.
