"... between 1966 and 2017 (50 years), the number of people in the world living on less than US$2 per day (adjusted for inflation) has decreased from 50% to 9%."

wait, is that true??

hey, quick question: does anyone else have a 'physical to-do list'?

As in, you leave an envelope on your desk to remind you to read it; it's night time but the leaves need raking so you get out the rake to remind you to do it...

and next thing you know there's stuff everywhere

@evelyn Oh, Evelyn. That's rough!

Did you end up getting rest?

@evelyn I hope you don't see this til tomorrow because you've dozed off

@evelyn oof that's no fun

@DMakarios Your grandma was clearly gifted - my aunts are like that. If they made something i'd value it!

My grandmother - and mother - didn't make very much, but what they did make was an imitation of whatever they had as kids. It would be 20 or 40 years out of date, average quality, and guaranteed to get you bullied behind their backs at school, church, and anywhere else you were made to wear it.

Good morning. Just checking in to say hi, because it's Friday 💗

@daniel that's a great list!

yes, I get attached to hoodies too... but at the moment i don't have any that i'm attached to because the best ones, I wear everywhere and inevitably lose within three weeks

@SolusSpider It's an interesting concept.

I wouldn't mind a faith based version where you meet up once a month or something and hear from/about a different group each month, and give to the cause - there's a lot of really good causes out there.

It looks to be US-only at the moment too, so meh... Maybe one day if i'm not working too hard.

If I hypothetically wanted to run a non-web-exposed server (e.g. on an IP4 LAN, behind NAT) and wanted to be able to send stuff (text, images) to it from my phone to add to lists for processing, what is a good way to have a mailbox that it can pick up from a php API?

I only want to email from myemail@ymail or gmail.com to <mailbox> then use a crontab+bash or php script on the private server to collect mail out of <mailbox> every hour or something.

What is something low-maintenance and low-overhead you could use for the mailbox?

@underlap @trbutler I'm guessing no because your friends' friends aren't automatically your friends?

@DMakarios That made me smile! thankyou for sharing

@underlap @trbutler

So I guess you could probably just add it as an additional layer on top of an instance if you wanted to.

Unless you wanted some kind of handshake ("may this server friend your server?")

Hypothetically speaking, if there was an "atheist" school, what would be the difference between that and current state/secular schools

@earlgreyocean very interesting 🤔

@underlap 'neighbourhoods' is a concept where a server would have a shortlist of servers it considered to be 'neighbours', managed my the server admins.

If I've understood it correctly, anyway

it'd be kind of cool if we could limit posts to neighbourhood servers, not just this server or followers - and include adjacent faith based servers. I think the idea Josias? had for neighbourhoods was a good one

today's puzzle:

email has spam filters
websites have adblockers
non-fedi social media sites have.... ?

(greasemonkey scripts? i don't know)

Does anyone else groan when different organisations send emails saying,

"We know everyone's back to in-person events but we're gonna host an online dinner instead of an in-person one! it'll be a great opportunity to connect with us!"

or are there people that actually like watching online events for some reason?

I'm still permanently zoom-fatigued from the last three years I think and at the moment, I go to online meetings under sufferance. If I don't know you and it's not because I'm on a board or committee or something, no way am I voluntarily scheduling in another online event >.<

On second thoughts, everyone's really busy. Is this "online supporter events" trend because people aren't making time to travel to in person events either so attendance is actually better that way?

@Aslanmane That is ... pretty good actually
