@fu First of all, I'm glad you're trying to take charge of your health. Best wishes for successfully mitigating the heart issues.
As for Tuesdays, I know that seems to be the day the food places have their special deals, so I expect that's the day people are less likely to eat out without a discount. I have no idea if that's relevant to your situation, though.
For the record, my first Python course was more than 20 years ago, so their "gentle intro for new people" approach isn't exactly suited for me, despite my not using it much since then.
@sun It isn't that the Fediverse is at all complicated or hard to understand; it is that it is different than what they've already been using. They'd rather not invest the effort in understanding it when they can just move to Bluesky and use it as a Twitter clone. (Bluesky has its own complications and it isn't even truly federated, but one can easily ignore all of those things and just pretend they're on Twitter.)
And if one isn't interested in federation and decentralization, why should they bother learning about it if they don't have to? Go to Bluesky or Threads (as long as they don't turn on federation) and have "Twitter without the Nazis" but without all the botheration (examples: #blockwars / #fediblock, instance drama, policy differences between instances) that Mastodon and the Fediverse bring with them.
Does anyone really trust what Gavin Newsom says? Whether you agree or disagree, you have to feel the "he sees the way the wind is blowing" in his speaking. If the wind shifts again, he'll clarify his statements to mean whatever he thinks will get him elected.
I wouldn't vote for him for any office, not even town dog-catcher, and I wouldn't trust him with anyone's well-being or any sort of asset.
@fu@libranet.de That's pretty bad. When I first heard it, I assumed they were practicing "glide bomb" techniques. (There's a town in Russia near the Ukraine border where errant glide bombs have landed repeatedly.)
