@MeltingPenguins I'm pretty sure that the term "bacon" used before the 1920s campaign for breakfasts was not what we call bacon today. Up into the 1890s at least (and probably farther than that) "bacon" was used for any cured pork product, not specifically cut and processed pork belly.

There is literally nothing that won't get death threats from the right wing.

We find out that statues were once painted? Death threats.

Techbrodudes reinvent something that's been around for ages, only making it worse.

You know, public transit has been around for AGES before you got your grubby little rent-seeking mitts on it and tore it down, you festering horde of goblins!

@dansup @dansup The alt text on the post https://pixelfed.social/p/zhang.dianli/699843661291068434?fs=1 doesn't seem to be showing to me for some reason. I'm using Firefox if that helps. A friend I asked to check can see it using Chromium, however.

Do you have any advice?

So this little video is making the rounds in Chinese social media.

I'm calling it now: the Democrats have no hope in this election. They've alienated the demographic that they so desperately need the support of for calling them "anti-semitic" for...checks notes...opposing an open genocide.

The youth are not going to be voting Trump, but they're definitely not voting Biden either. Trump will win. Enjoy your next four years.

All nine Republican senators running for reelection this year just voted against the right to contraception:

John Barrasso
Marsha Blackburn
Kevin Cramer
Ted Cruz
Deb Fischer
Josh Hawley
Pete Ricketts
Rick Scott
Roger Wicker

So much for the party of "freedom."

zdl,
@zdl@mastodon.online avatar

@rbreich The Republicans stand for the freedom of all people!

It's just that their definition of "people" is somewhat different from most. Apparently you're a "person" if you're a) white, b) male, and c) wealthy.

Everybody else doesn't count.

@cstross Sadly I don't think they're trying to commit suicide. I think they're being murdered by VCs.

I had a pretty rough day and contemplated just giving up on @pixelfed because it seems like I can’t catch a break

But after calming down, I started to remember all the big milestones and the people who believe in our platform and in me

I’m not ready to give up, in fact this was the kick in the ass I needed to get my priorities straight and focus on shipping the app ASAP and also Groups

I’m a few months behind on my NLnet Groups milestone and need the money so that’s my focus after the app

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I present to you American-style "Buddhism".

For my friends who wonder why I'm instantly suspicious of any westerner I encounter who claims to be "Buddhist", here's why.

Why is #mastodon looking more like Twitter every time there's an update?

Please stop trying to be Twitter. I quit Twitter partially over all this kind of stuff being pushed at me non-stop.

If I want to find someone to follow, I'll look. Don't assume I want your fucking algorithmic recommendations.

I see posts calling for folks to write/email/call/smoke signal/wire/semaphore their representatives about the security fuckery of Windows Recall.

I'm more of an "act locally" guy. Email your place of employment's heads of legal and IT stating your concerns, and send them this article. Hell, throw in your local schoolboards and universities to boot.

@TheLastOfHisName Make it clear to them that Windows Recall opens them to legal risks. That's what most such places fear more than privacy risks.
