Cannot help but think the Noem purse theft will be used as an anti-mask excuse.

@joeo10 Jon Stewart took him down pretty good the other night on this one.

Duh

Legal Scholars Dispute Constitutional 'Loophole' for a Third Trump Term - FactCheck.org

@joeo10 yes, I know Substack is problematic. I follow another podcast or who just moved there, abandoning Patreon. I had to send them a link to an old Atlantic article about their Nazi problem. They had no idea.

I asked this because the other day Heather Cox Richardson in her podcast, referred to it as “Doggie.”

Thanks for participating.

FWIW, I say “Dōzh.”

DOGE = Il Duce

Coincidence? I think not.

Anyone else on #SDF Mastodon getting error 500 when using search? I thought it was a client issue, but getting it on web site, too.

It seems that one of the key problems for many users is not the lack of online play, but it’s DRM that requires connectivity in order to play games already purchased and downloaded. That would be very frustrating. I get it in some ways. But you’d think the system would be somewhat resilient to outages. Like only have to check in periodically or something like that.

Anyone on #SDF Mastodon having issues with timeouts and the like over the last few hours? About 12:00UTC it was downright stopped. Still sluggish now.

How Texas’ War on Drug Users Fueled an Overdose Disaster
‘In general, Texas has been reluctant to embrace the strategy of harm reduction, a broadly defined term for helping people who use drugs without stigmatizing or imposing strict parameters, while also involving drug users in planning and implementation. Harm reduction has been promoted in the United States since at least the 1980s.’ #WarOnDrugs #HarmReduction

With talk of Linux being blocked by FB, when I was on FB, my links—any link—to sdf.org domain were almost instantly labeled “Malicious site” or “Cyber security threat.” I tried to fight it by challenging it, but never got a response. Everything at *.sdf.org was seemingly blocked from the get-go. Mastodon, Lemmy, and tilde sites. I’m not sure there’s anything on Facebook’s part that targeted a small site like SDF, but I think it could’ve even been someone who hosted something malicious on…

In other words, #CES features crap we don’t need and probably don’t want.

Spent all my Office Depot Rewards the other day. Luckily, Office Depot is sending out emails to remind me to use my $na Rewards now!

@botvolution aha! I’ll bet you that’s it. He’s saying “hyphen”!

This guy in the video keeps saying “node fnv” and that is what the transcript says, but he is typing “-v”

I know a guy who says __ as “dunder” when speaking abt Python. Since I am largely self-taught from books and reading, I don’t know what terms people use until I come across them.

Is “-v” said “fnv” among #NodeJS folks, is “FN” a way of saying “dash”? is it short for function or something like that? Or is it just a quirk of him and this video? Thx

@botvolution At the time I posted, I had read it second hand from a source that did not link to the announcement, so I inserted “reportedly.”

I am scratching my chin because it seems like they should’ve known it was toxic years ago. Better late than never, I guess.

@botvolution Thanks

#Guardian reportedly announcing that they will no longer link to Xittter, saying it is a toxic platform. 🤔

@joeo10 that is where I played it today
