@inthehands @drahardja This is why I subscribe to the Guardian online.

Maybe protests do work after all?

Shana Tovah everyone!

@skinnylatte As a departee, I feel like we had one chance to save the old SF, in the mid 00's, and the progressives blew it (mostly through sexism).

@badnetmask is the rsst of your stack the same as mine?

I'm having chronic problems with Electron apps not working properly on dual monitors, fishing to see if anyone else is seeing this. I have no idea where to file a bug because I can't figure out where in the stack the problem is.

Here's my stack:
Slack/Signal/whatever Flatpak app
Electron
Wayland
Fedora 41/Bluefin
AMDgpu

What happens is that windowing controls for the apps only work on 1 of my 2 screens ... just on monitor 2.
more ...

... that is, on monitor 2 I can resize the app window, max/min, click on tabs, and close the app. On monitor 1, I can't.

If I unplug my laptop from the 2nd monitor, apps work normally. The symptoms appear to be that #Electron can't detect the mouse if it's in the "wrong" window.

Ideas where to look?

@joeo10 @0x0ddc0ffee Yeah, I'm aware of that. I never got any further details. That event actually had me planning to switch away (after 25 years with Pobox), except that the Protonmail Trump allegiance happened a week later.

If you know of a "better" email provider, please share.

@0x0ddc0ffee Fastmail has been OK, as AFAIK hasn't endorsed any fascists.

Hey USians! Call your congresscritters NOW. Don't wait, within a few days we'll be living in the United States of Musk. You need them to do everything they can to stop it. Call both senators and your rep, *especially* if you live in a GOP district.

@skinnylatte lemon juice? Huh.

If you ever post a rough recipe, please tag me. I grow my own carrots, so I have plenty of fresh tops.

@skinnylatte I tried making carrot top pesto once, and wasn't thrilled; is the recipe you use online?

@chrisjrn @mcc Eben Moglin's views, mostly (not that that makes things better).

It would be fascinating for someone to do an analysis of GPLv3 today and whether Moglin successfully future-proofed it.

#Earthquake, #tsunami warning for the US West Coast.

This is real, folks, get to high ground ASAP.

2024's Prize for "Most Prescient Dystopia" is awarded to Octavia E Butler, for "Parable of the Sower".

This year's award goes to a truly exceptional work, which was accurate not only in general themes, ideas, and motivational events, but even down to dates and elections.

Congratulations, Ms. Butler.

Hey, #Portland folx, looks like we have some criminals setting ballot drop boxes on fire. Things to do:

1) If possible, drop your ballot at an indoor box in a library. These are supervised by the librarians at all times and nobody is going to set them on fire.

2) If you know anyone who might have used either of the two ballot boxes, please alert them that they might need to get an emergency replacement ballot:

- PDX: Southeast Morrison & 10th ave.
- WA: Vancouver Fisher's Landing

@blogdiva Also, none of that money goes to the people whose data was leaked.
