THAT'S IT! I'M PISSSED!

I rate my 'coof experience a measly 5 out of 10 on the flu scale. Had a bit of a headache (ibuprofen kicked it) and felt a bit foggy and tired for a week with a couple days of fever and sweating at night.

Not impressed.

Time to polish off this beer and head over to Yelp to leave more shameful reviews for 'rona.

Anyone honest knows what happened: the Biden WH, facing rage over the attack at Kabul Airport that killed 13 Marines, was desperate to do *something* -- anything -- to make Biden look tough, so they wiped out a whole family to avoid a bad news cycle accusing him of weakness.

Tired of mobile interfaces trying to look like Andr*id or iph*ne?

Curious of some other paradigm, bringing mobile computing back in the users' hands?

Fond of minimalism, hackability and resource frugality?

If you are not afraid of configuration files, and spending the time it takes to make things work for you.....?

Then sxmo is made for you!

Here is the guy that got No Agenda on the right track regarding the lab leak theory back in early 2020. He is an obvious trouble-maker.

One of the biggest things people don't understand about normal illnesses:
Don't fight the fever. Keep it below 105, but otherwise embrace the suck. Curl up in a blanket, even though it is 78 in your house. That fever is how your body kills the attackers. People take fever reducers and then wonder why it takes more than a week to feel better.
Of course, don't forget to stay hydrated and get plenty of sleep.

‘After saying that she had been temporarily suspended from Twitter, where she has more than 22 million followers, for questioning vaccine mandates, Minaj encouraged Americans to “open your f***ing eyes” to the censorship currently happening, adding that her ban made her think that “there’s something bigger” going on.‘

@vandys I just enrolled the book and it should appear there in a few hours. Thanks for the tip! I set the price at whatever the reader wants to pay - including nothing. I'll let everyone know when it's available. -Warren

I may be just a babe in the woods, but I'm thinking there a A LOT of red herrings swimming around the fishbowl these days. Again, NOTHING is as it seems...maybe even the Milley thing.

@vandys These are the servers running GNU Social on newer versions with some ActivityPub support: https://the-federation.info/gnusocial

#ShowerThoughts I'm starting to regret being such a cheerleader for the utopia of digital convergence. Anyone else starting to think that the transition to doing everything digitally would have been best done over 50 years, instead of 25, with a bit more risk assessment and forward planning by everyone involved?

I just updated my list of useful #FOSS software and web services.

@vandys There is an automatically updated list at the-federation.info/gnusocial -- look for version 2 and open signups.

This reply comes from https://gnusocial.net/ which runs GS v2 and supports ActivityPub. There are some older nodes out there that only support OStatus and can't federate with Pleroma>=2 and Mastodon>=3.

It's not my main, so I don't quite know what it's like to use it as a daily driver.

The UI is a bit dated, but we'll see what happens in v3.
It strips some formatting in posts, even more than Mastodon does.
I believe v2 only federates public posts over AP.
I expect the backend runs on far smaller resources than Mastodon does, but maybe not as light as Pleroma.
Easy to deploy, just good old LAMP.
The frontend runs well on far lighter devices than Mastodon and Pleroma, of course.
