I always appreciate an effort to repay but what I really want for repayment is their effort in helping others the next time they have a chance to help.

I dont need to be paid back, I want more folks helping. It selfish, know; I may need help later on and I want more folks helping to increase my chance of getting help if/when I need it.

I think of it as starting a network of helpers instead of just a single completed transaction.

On yesterdays #ebike ride I came across two egrets on a log in a peculation pond. The big one on the left is a great egret (Ardea alba). The smaller on on the right is a Snowy Egret Egretta thula

Note the difference in feet and bill color.

@mray
I sorta get it,

to get folks to improve and change we have to go to where they are today.
but
did they also post this info on an #activityPub
service, you know, someplace on the #fediverse

I'll admit I have not had time to check, I'm just thinking about why they would post on old-school closed systems.

@clive
I like articles that have the provenance of the data included.

Good job.

Here is a link to the upstream source. https://ia601608.us.archive.org/21/items/ArmyTalkOrientationFactSheet64-Fascism/Fascism64.pdf

We should understand that these sources, the internet archive and physical libraries, are under attack. The #bigCorps are the fascist of our time and they are using #lawfare against us.

We are always prepared for the last last war. This war, our war against fascist-2025 is being fought in the courts, classrooms and bigCorp #media outlets.

@joeo10
I'll be on it as soon as they get on #fdroid , which should be soon according to the website.

I voted for the obvious. If the #republicans cannt tell who won the election in 2020 how can they figure out complex stuff like health care or product safety regulations.

My work is software engineering, embedded systems, at the end of the day the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a screen playing games.
I go play tennis, dancing, sailing, hiking and anything else I can think of.

@ottercynical @FlashMobOfOne

I havent missed it one bit.

@joeo10 when the penalty for violating a law is just a financial amount means that the law only applies to us little people. A #bigCorp just passes the bill on to the #consumer.
How about requiring the big corp to issue new stock to raise the amount needed. That will dilutes the stock, lowering the value of each share of stock. That way the owners pay the price not the consumers that were damaged by the crime.

#democracy is more than how we vote!

@linux_mclinuxface
just learned about dragonflyDB and keyDB.

I'm not sure of how they differ. any info would help.

@joeo10 @pluralistic
A worthy read, it not only explains the problem but is does offer some light at the end of the tunnel. and even some hints:-)
"On average you have to go seventeen items down to find the best deal on Amazon."

#democracy is more than how we vote. It how we run things.
Its should not be "the government" it should be "our government". When its not operating right WE change the folks hired to run it.

@kees I'm reminded of the fact that linux is the most used OS on two planets.

@georgetakei
Folks are making a mistake to think that He-Who_Shall-Not-Be-Named is running for president, he's not. He is running a #grift; the #campaign for president is just his shtick.
The #GOP is supplying the set or backdrop and staff for his crew

@feditips I'm still finding my way around the fediverse and mastodon. is there a way to get a list of my past toots. I was just posting and wanted to reference some info I had previously posted and realized I didnt know where to look. I see favourites, DN etc. seems like it should be right there
