Last Notes npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren I think that new Mac "the size of an Apple TV" is overlooking the fact that it will be much more attractive to throw across the room when users get frustrated. Good for skipping across ponds, too. npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren @npub1c0m…xqjl in my personal experience, both sides are absolutely certain there will never be unification. npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren I'm not sure what "in the non-Mastodon Fediverse" is doing in this headline about a list of clients for accessing the Mastodon portion of the Fediverse. npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren How much jail time would be involved if someone were to breach security and forcibly shave off Donald Trump's hair live on television? npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren @npub1vnu…uy8z I see this one npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren I've seen a larger number of exasperated people bitching about GIMP recently, to which I offer this advice: Photopea is truly excellent and will likely cause you much less frustration and hassle. It's browser-based, but is installable as a PWA, and can do anything I've ever found myself needing to do in GIMP. I was a GIMP user since the very first release, even using it on projects I did for Adobe*, but haven't used it in 3 years now after finding Photopea. *: I relished leaving the default "created in GIMP" metadata on all the assets I delivered. npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren It's funny that the climate ruining Burning Man is getting more press than how Burning Man ruins the climate. npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren @npub1grx…uxfe in my experience, it's because it takes so long for the heat pump to actually change the temperature in any meaningful way, the ones with thermostats just always get set to super cool or super hot, just to feel like it's doing something. If it's always in "as cool as you can get" or "as warm as you can get" there's just no need for a thermostat. Based on how they actually get used, I would say that ones with remotes don't need a thermostat and the ones without remotes do. npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren @npub1hjw…mghf Both Firefly and Joss Whedon have now been canceled, lol. Disney is working on bringing just one of them back... npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren @npub1hjw…mghf sorry, wrong link: https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/firefly-reboot-disney.html npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren @npub1hjw…mghf https://screenrant.com/firefly-revival-season-2-release-date-story-details/ npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren @npub1ykg…g4jv @npub1grx…uxfe I saw a post this morning that said mountain climbing accident npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren Every so often Firefish wigs out and then every post becomes the same post over and over and over. Today it was George Takai. https://media.fedia.social/media/67bb9cab-9fc7-425d-a605-5f9ee7db9653.png npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren Zoom trying to do damage control by obfuscating what they say VS what they mean is a good reminder to take PR statements with a grain of salt. By looking at what Zoom has actually done, you'll quickly see all the times they've flat-out lied. Remember when Zoom claimed to offer end-to-end encryption but didn't? I do. Remember when they said they've made joining meetings on macOS easier but actually installed an exploit that made Zoom re-install itself if a user uninstalled it? I do. Remember when Zoom said they were protecting user privacy but then handed user data to Facebook? I do. It's always good to have a reminder that what a company says is often of significantly less importance than what they've done. npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren @npub1mdk…aptk one of the things I love about Firefish is it has little badges on each post showing server info. It's actually just combination of favicon + server name, but that effectively tells you what the server software is 90% of the time. https://media.fedia.social/media/2385f6cd-f7c8-45b1-a72f-f2b5f68bab80.png npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren @npub1mdk…aptk I'm curious what it says I'm using then... npub1dux03epngckc8av9syq6znddmy0ehmeljj9rgqugkldj24ms2nms3rqanr Jer Warren @npub1mdk…aptk does it show what software their server is running?
