Nice! I found a house sitter and dog sitter for my vacation end of the year. That's generally the hardest to get settled, so it's nice to have it done so early 🏡🐶.

The only reason I am even here, on any of these networks, is to promote the #FujiNet Internet Peripheral for #retrocomputing and #retrogaming systems (https://fujinet.online).
Danke an alle die bei #wegeinsfediverse an Bord der @cbase dabei waren, Fragen gestellt oder Antworten gefunden habe, Dinge organisiert und umgesetzt haben.
Sehr schöner Nachmittag in #Berlin am Spreeufer und auf der Raumstation zum #Fediverse gewesen!
My partner, after a July 4th party: “Some naturalized citizens heavily exhibit ‘patriotism’ as a form of denial and wishful thinking, because they know their American Dream they’ve worked so hard to achieve is crumbling. They think if they chant ‘USA! USA!’ and shut out new immigrants, they’ll be able to protect what they have.”
Me: “Some people think immigration is a one-and-done deal 🤷🏻♀️ But lots of Japanese-American families moved to Japan to avoid the camps then came back a generation later.”
@sharongascoigne I’m glad you struggled too! I looked at my shots compared to Cowes a few years ago and despite having a better camera the older ones were better.
I should really document this thing:

@Maker_of_Things @wokstation displays have higher pixel density hence the difference.m. As to the smart tv bit, we have a Google TV by Sony, it never got connected to the internet, we plugin an apple tv to it. It works. Any streaming device will work like Wok mentioned. There are some TV brands that will not proceed if you don’t connect to internet avoid those. I am not 100% sure but Samsung might be in that group.
must be one of those old timey memes from before people figured out how to make them funny

Are you fine (fucked up, insecure, needy, and emotional)?
Dear 20yr olds on dating apps: stop. I know I'm hot but I am nearly twice your age 😂

@penfount the pen I currently carry everywhere is a Recife Traveller. Sturdy, screw on cap so less likely to leak (in my mind), and not so expensive that I worry about breaking or losing it. It's also quite a dry writer, an advantage when you want to jot something down quickly. #FountainPen
@CatherineFlick I've had that Golden song stuck in my head for the last week 😅
This turned out to be my 1000th activity on Strava, is this a sign?

the fact that the Internet Archive got into bigger trouble for lending books they paid for than Facebook did for reproducing books they pirated tells you everything you need to know about copyright.
Why #Ao3 was down yesterday:
Are you still on #Spotify?
Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.
And don’t forget:
• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).
And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.
Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

Maybe thats one reason why Farage is always laughing. To look like a jolly fellow who you'd be silly to get upset by. Yes this has always been a tactic against social justice. Like the classic "feminists / women can't take a joke / aren't funny" "Only joking love" when called out.
In May I set up this page to mirror the Operating Superstars story chapters:
📄 https://synergyeclipse30.neocities.org/operating-superstars/story_chapters
When I put this together, I didn’t have an index page ready so there’s no link to it. I still don’t, but should work on that. However, just in case anyone removed the “story_chapters” part of the URL to go to the index, I published a #ShortStory that was meant to be an Easter egg along with the story chapters page!
I included the illustrations from the story here.
This story references a few easter eggs including one in Windows 3.1 of a bear in a suit, and the System 7 “Blue Meanies” messages.
This formerly unlisted story is now added to the project #Wiki and is the actual first story appearance for a few characters.

On bsky, of my 83 followers, 42 are spam. I can't stop them following, just block, but I still have 83 followers, despite having blocked 42.
Often I'm excited & intrigued to be greeted by ~12 notifications, but they're all about new followers, with each & every one spam. I spend more time laboriously blocking accounts than exploring.
It's not really what you want from a social media experience. I've found Mastodon has provided a superior experience thus far. 👍 :mastodon:
