Turn your lights off for the birds!

When you hear that special song that makes your hair stand on end, that makes you cry tears of joy, that makes you sing along at the top of your voice, that brings out the air guitar, that makes you get up and dance, that makes you contact a friend to talk about your mutual love of the song, that brings undeniable joy… Music is magic.

Fuck every restaurant, band, and business that’s only web presence is Facebook or Instagram.

@feld @joe I’ve not had issues with Charge Point but those tend to be at dealers which I don’t like going to.

@joe I stopped at the new Electrify America 350kW chargers at the Target in West Allis. I topped out at 94kW, my car can do 350kW. So I thought maybe there’s a problem with my car. I ask the guy with a VW ID.4 also charging. He was getting 20kW! At the EA 150kW I get up to 150kW but usually 110-120kW. I can’t wait for SuperCharger access … EA seems to have some issues.

@timbowman bummer I would have drove down for that.

@LittleTokyo then there’s the Taliban, they have now made it illegal for women to speak in public. I wonder what the Middle East would look like if the UK and USA just left it alone after WW2.

@jake4480 @libreoffice so I’ve tried it on and off since it was Open Office. Just downloaded it and unfortunately its UI is lifted from MS Office. Mainly scatter-shot of every function you may need in two rows of buttons across the top all demanding the same attention with little differentiation beyond the skeuomorphic item itself. Anecdotally I’ve used MS Office for 30 years and still have issues finding the thing I need.

As a note I do UX for a living.

@jake4480 oh if I’m choosing between MS Office and LibreOffice I’m using the latter. Now I use the Apple Equivalent to these, and for me the interface is much better. Now I can use the Apple suite for work as I can import and export to MS Office, seems LibreOffice only imports or am I missing something?

@LittleTokyo ALAC has been open-source and royalty-free since 2011.

@LittleTokyo I’d make a post then couldn’t find it. Then people would reply or star, looked on the web and they they were. I should give it a try again. I’ve been using Ice Cubes.

@LittleTokyo have they fixed the problem where some posts don’t show in the app but they are there in other apps and mastodon web?

@LittleTokyo i kept reading how good it was, it just there. Bad Batch Season 3 that was good.

@LittleTokyo I love Gravity Falls. There’s not much, if anything, Disney has done recently that is close to it.

@timbowman ahh shit I was there too. Both bands were great.
