Last Notes npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…3eu7 Why is that happening? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…5uqu It is worth asking the question. I just doubt you'll get an answer, because there isn't one that isn't batshit insane. It was emotional reasoning, motivated by corporate interests. New Zealand did really well at not letting the virus in. In the end it still buckled due to the commercial pressures. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…5uqu You lived through it... you know the answer to this question ☺️ npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…u622 @nprofile…wsge (You could also trace it back to movements like Thatcherism in the U.K., under which privitisation happened and previously nationalised utilities and enterprises were asset stripped - so kind of the same deal as the VC behaviour we see now, really. I think there's a strong argument the rampant profiteering as an "acceptable" ideology started there. It used to be looked down on, before that. I've heard there are parallels between Thatcherism and Reaganism but I don't know the U.S. context well enough to say. Might be worth checking, though.) npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…u622 @nprofile…wsge All of this, but I'd like to refine it a little further: It's important to draw a clear line between "capitalism" and companies. Companies do exist to make money, but left to their own devices and under adequate regulation (to guard against things like monopolies) they do that by creating value. That's how things used to work until quite recently and with a few exceptions it was stable and life was reasonable. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…khrn もう自主的に節電を始めている人は多いのかなと思います。 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…h0ux I thought I did when I read what you quoted, which is why I shared it. Then I went and read the rest. Also, how you feel about something someone has written is your interpretation of it. Given that the guy proposing it has acknowledged even himself that it'd be a deviation from the strict "non algorithm" stance of the Fediverse, you might want to reflect on why someone saying "this would be an algorithm" makes you feel "rage." npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…h0ux Also, he's talking about an algorithm, isn't he. That's literally what's he's advocating for. You could paraphrase the whole thing as, "Listen guys, I know you all love being here because there's no algorithm, but the natural social behaviour of humans is causing you to misunderstand something and rather than educate you on a case by case basis I'd like to suggest... an algorithm." npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…h0ux sorry 😅 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) I don't know where those behind the "thin scrollbar" trend got their computing education, but they need to go back there and do the HCI course again. Then they need to spend at least a week using glasses that distort their eyesight while they work, so they can learn what people with vision challenges experience while trying to use what they built. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…8udl Same pinch! I've been experimenting with trataka recently, and when it works it's good but I can't yet say it's reliably working. Listening to a recording of a guided yoga nidra meditation works quite well for relaxation and reliably raising HRV, too, but it's not quite the same thing as being able to just *sit*, is it. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) #Meditation observation: "I set aside this time to discover how to exist in this state" works better than "I set aside this time to exist in this state." npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…9ty3 Just had a quick look at options. It looks like Fedihost (https://fedihost.co/pricing) offer managed PeerTube hosting from $6.99 monthly. Elestio (https://elest.io/open-source/peertube) start at $14 monthly and look a bit more customizable but also a bit more technically demanding. There were one or two others but these looked like the strongest bets. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…9ty3 I've tried using other people's instances in the past but have found that to be unreliable — random removal of videos without communication, instances suddenly deciding to close. The technology itself seems sound. I think if you want to use it professionally it might be best to host it yourself or find a relatively low cost provider to host an instance for you (I think one or two of the big fediverse hosting providers that run Mastodon instances for people do PeerTube as well). npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…9ty3 I feel healthier just looking at this! 💚 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Software updates are really excessive. I don't understand why so much has to change all the time. It's like they can so they do, without really considering whether it's necessary. Been waiting for an hour so far for two weeks of updates to download and install, and when they're done they'll demand I stop using my PC and restart immediately. No one is thinking about the user experience here (although the main issue is the restart, but how can an hour of updates be needed after just two weeks?) npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…l8gu I don't understand why mandating encryption with an open standard wouldn't prevent the "oops I copied a bunch of people after decrypting your message" problem. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…l8gu Good luck 👍 Interesting to read about the issues with PGP. I guess people want to encrypt their e-mail because the functionality of e-mail is distinct from messaging platforms like Signal and they also want encryption. Would it be possible to create an update to the e-mail protocol that mandates built-in encryption, which then works like Signal but can be accessed using all e-mail clients compatible with an open standard? 🤔 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…l8gu How do we replace PGP? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Mulling over the day's news got me thinking about Japanese surnames (if you naturalize, you have to pick one) so I bounced some ideas around with Perplexity. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) #SoftBank is really negligent at addressing #spam. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…p7lw I'm asking you to use the full words. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…p7lw I don't think people are going to know from the warning that mh means mental health and sui means suicide. I only figured it out after reading the story. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Is all you need to do to make a #Mastodon "#quoteToot" typing "RE: " at the start of a line and then the link? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) AI isn't just like an intern, but like a *dishonest* intern. With careful supervision it can be productive enough to be useful. But you have to know what it's doing better than it does, and watch it like a hawk 😅 And unless there's something specific it offers that saves you time or gives you access to information you wouldn't have otherwise, it probably isn't worth that effort. I'm starting to wonder if the necessary skill for the AI age is going to be knowing where those lines should be drawn. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Took care of an errand that had been hanging over me for 12 years. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…shhu Did you see that at the bottom of the thread the OP says they've found a solution? It's definitely an interesting thread, thanks for sharing 👍 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…4k55 Bad news for sheep! ☺️ npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Is something up with #fdroid? Have been trying to install the Android fork of #syncthing for two days. The download is really slow, and it keeps stopping. I have to go back into f-droid to manually restart it, and it looks like last night it just gave up altogether. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…njna Stunning - thank you for sharing! 🙏💗 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…epsn We get a lot from being engaged in a (healthy) workplace. It's often overlooked. It's good to hear your experience is helping you 🧡 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…44nk That's a really beautiful view. Thanks for sharing these pics 🧡 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) When are we going to standardise lithium ion battery sizes, like we did with nickel battery sizes, so that instead of having to throw away whole devices when they stop holding charge we can just replace them with another of a standard size? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…x38x It's almost like building a technology that gives people the ability to use technology in the most powerful ways without any requirement for them to know anything about how that can go wrong is a really bad idea. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) When was the last time you listened to a bird singing? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…vwj8 That looks wicked! Seems like you're shaking life up a bit at the moment -- good for you ✊ npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Oh, this is spectacular. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…2mzm @nprofile…7hjs @nprofile…d7cx I couldn't just download the toots my instance presents using a client and display them offline, keeping a log of whether they've been read? (Maybe comparing to see if they've been updated, when I'm back online) npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…2mzm @nprofile…7hjs @nprofile…d7cx I'd really like to see the #Fediverse developed to have more offline capability. It shouldn't be difficult at all (for end users, at least). npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Not calm today. I would like to be, but I am not. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…vwj8 I'd like the know the standard by which they were appraising the speed of the ducks ☺️ npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…36ma Did you recruit them, or did they recruit you? Take care. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…njna I'm dreading full details of the cause as I have a feeling it will be due to Boeing and entirely preventable. Of course, it's still too early to tell. But Boeing should already be out of business for everything they've done, everyone they've killed, already. The U.S. system presides over so much injustice. How long will it go on? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…q5wq Ah yeah that makes sense. A deadline is indeed a deadline. Wish some of the people I work with understood that a little better, too. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…q5wq Why does it have to be time limited? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…qgtr What things do they trash? 🤔 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Mastodon still haven't fixed the thing where media in posts over a certain age from other instances don't display because the media has been deleted from the cache and nothing prompts it to be fetched again. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…44nk That's excellent. I struggle with it... if you have any tips I'd love to hear them ☺️ npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…44nk Can you observe yourself experiencing the anger? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Napped for a few hours—because I could... because there was no reason not to give my body the rest it clearly needed. Was excellent. Refusing now to beat myself up for "losing" a few hours that could've been used for "more productive" activities. Rest is productive. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…naem @nprofile…8hye This is how capitalism has already unravelled so much past worker solidarity. People used to spend recreational time after work socialising. Full time homemakers used to organise and participate in social events related to school life for their children. Multiple generations lived nearby, providing care for one another. This all built community, and an understanding of others that wasn't shaped by how we were told they were by media. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Not me waking up before 7am on a Saturday and thinking about staying awake... npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) The bulbuls that nest every year in the garden on the roof of the building opposite have returned. But the garden isn't there anymore. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Top tip: Work with reasonable people. Capable people. People who are not insecure and incapable, and much more interested in making that your problem than doing anything to change it. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Something that would be a real game changer (I think) for #Mastodon or any #Fediverse platform with a substantial user base would be to switch between multiple interfaces on the fly (possibly automatically, but with manual override too) according to what you're viewing. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…8f02 Perhaps you would care to spend your time contributing something better. In the meantime, your frustration is relatable. You may wish to add your voice to those who have been asking for this gap to be addressed (since 2019), here https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12423 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…epsn That's a very good suggestion — I hadn't thought of that. Thank you 🧡🩷 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…epsn I've spent my life battling this. Glad a medical experience shook me while I was still quite young so I started really thinking about it, but the realisation has only been the start for me. I keep getting caught up in it, have to realise again, get caught up again, realise again... each time getting closer to enduring understanding, but it's a frustrating cycle. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Can you cook mong dal (the yellow one) with just water and some salt and turmeric? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…w4ge First time I've seen this kind of conditional css. A pleasantly minimal solution to a pervasive problem! npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Apparently "liberation day" is now being referred to as "obliteration day", and I'm here for that 😅 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) So next time someone justifies violating legal/human rights "because terrorism" we know where it leads, right? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…rrhg How can there be only one? 😢 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…vwj8 oh no, sorry to hear it got you. You'll still be in a better position than all the people who have had it over and over again in the last five years. Hope you're feeling fully better soon (take care to return to your routine slowly) 🙏🧡 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Apparently LinkedIn has an app now and would like to be on my phone. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…h7jk I don't think so. The weather through the preceding autumn and winter affect their growth, then the timing of the warm spring temperatures affect the timing of when they appear. Bad weather like rain and wind can shorten their flowering period. If it was hotter (28 or 30 maybe) that might shorten their flowering period, but that's just a guess. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Ridiculously hot in Tokyo. Almost 25°C right now. A week or so ago I was still wearing a winter coat. It always does change quite quickly but there's usually a week or two of comfortable temperatures. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…gk57 I don't think I've found a solution for this, but I fit your description... I've never been very touchy-feely but after five years of self-isolation the lack of conversation or even just being able to safely be in a shared public space is affecting me, and possibly my health too. I try to go for walks at least every other day. I used to spend a lot of time in places like cafes, but that's been destroyed by the pandemic. I wish this problem was more widely understood. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Reminded tonight of this fascinating story about influence operations on Twitter, so sharing it again. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…t9gy Would an m3u file work? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Is the concept of "dessert naan" authentic in any way? 🤔 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…y54t Oh no! Really sorry to hear you're dealing with this. I had disk problems late last year and it's horrible. Sounds like you're choosing a strong perspective as you tackle the situation 🙌 I really hope everything works out for you and all is as it should be soon 🙏 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…ug8s I don't think the "Commercial interests are our only values, we can only maintain our offensive double standards by having more firepower than anybody else in the world, we incarcerate our people for the consequences of social disintegration to exploit as slave labour, our health care system kills people for profit, our kids shoot each other in school with weapons of war and half of us think fascism is great...Could there be something we've misunderstood?" penny has dropped yet. @nprofile…5k2y npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…8nvu Ah thank you, I'd missed that. Perhaps people are moving because of the new Mozilla ToS, too, rather than just not being able to make Firefox behave as they wish (ie without telemetry). But have also seen others saying Librewolf doesn't deliver updates or sign its manually downloaded updates? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Am hearing people moving away from #Firefox (because of inescapable ad telemetry?) and switching to #Waterfox and #Librewolf so I figured I'd take a look. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Top "news" story on X npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…h7jk Lots of people trying to do this. Every little helps. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Third-party scanning of uploaded images, organised by the same "fediverse safety think tank" that has links to Meta and advocates - with no sense of irony - for centralised scanning of content posted across a decentralised network, coming soon to PixelFed. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…mkea Yeah, there probably is some context like that. Those guys are supposed to be above that, though. What are they going to say when morale is low in a war zone? "Oh yeah we just lost the war... morale was low." npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) I can't get my head around it. The military's primary duty is to protect. These guys are supposed to be sufficiently skilled as pilots to fly in combat zones, and they fly right into a passenger jet. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…gd7f You're expecting both honesty and accountability here, and, well, I'd like those to be more common traits in the world but you might want to temper your optimism 😅 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…66wq 私のスタバでこんなに美味しいものはありません 🥹 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…48vs @nprofile…ucuv And nothing in that story about what qualifies as "oversized". Over what size? Not road legal? Fair enough. But the vehicles in the picture look road legal. If they're road legal, what's the basis for towing them away? "They just look like vehicles we don't want to see" warrants scrutiny from legal professionals. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) A reminder that if you're considering moving instances due to recent policy changes on #Threads, and would like to take your content with you as well as your social connections, #MastodonContentMover exists 👉 https://mastodoncontentmover.github.io/ npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…3cq5 Meanwhile, a melon (or a pack of nice strawberries... ) 💴💴💴😅 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…3cq5 Glad they got that sent to you before the new year, too! npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…rrhg 🌕💕 thank you for sharing the lovely pic! 🙏 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…rrhg That's a nice open expanse of sky. Lived on the Isle of Dogs for a while and only got to see the moon between buildings for a few hours now and then. Here, too, I only get to see it for an hour or so before it sets, around roof furniture and other obstructions. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…qymn @nprofile…0vgm Is there somewhere you can look to see all of these (other than the source code for various other systems)? Or is it just a case of trial and error (or trial and users-of-specific-systems-report-problems-and-you-fix-them)? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…kcps Source? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…0vgm That's perfect! I'm reading about Tailscale right now—looks really useful. Thank you so much! Thinking I had to deal with domain registration and getting proper certificates made straight away has discouraged me from getting stuck into this for over a year now, so everything you've shared is a huge help 🧡 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…0vgm Thank you! This is excellent advice—I will check these out 👍 Do you still need an SSL certificate with those? Or can things work with just straight http? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) Developer question: If you build a minimal ActivityPub server for development purposes, do you have to run it on a registered domain with an SSL certificate for it to be able to connect to anything else (like a big Mastodon instance)? npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…klvg It would be nice if there was a way to shame outrage bait without having to encourage people to give the NYT money to read it 😔 but yeah, it's no surprise that yet again men's wrongdoing is because women wouldn't just shut up and give them what they wanted. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…xt5t One of these? https://pcn.club/products/ichigojam/ (It seems that there are quite a few different varieties) npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) You know, one thing I don't hate about the "go visit their instance to see the replies" notice Mastodon now seems to show for every single post is that it makes me go and see other instances — which are often *not* Mastodon instances. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…zqxh It's a bit long. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @nprofile…njna Thank you! I will look for this. I'd like to learn more about Pranayama as well, so your extra recommendation is inspired! 🧡 npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) @npub1trd…ussx It's just a shame that standard is such a poor match for what it's being used for. npub1ajkrgzu38tagl0a2q35estkv6zmd3f4vxccf2640ex9wsnl3a55qq438qt Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) People who are prepared to condemn some protesters splattering millennia-old stones with coloured cornflour but remain silent about the ongoing destruction of natural systems all of humanity relies on for life—something that is literally killing people—need to think a little harder.
