UK and France moving warships to the Strait, I suspect, is the world waiting for the right moment to take the power away from the US.

Rightfully so...

Cable plugged in to LAN vs WAN?

Well I didn't have "getting harassed by Graphene OS and having to block them" on my 2026 bingo card but I guess I should have.

All I wanted was a comment from them regarding whether or not Motorola could place a device in a phone that Graphene wasn't aware of for the purpose of leaking data... No accusations, just a question.

I'm completely in awe at how this all played out especially with them deleting all of their posts.

Is there an official @catsalad index yet? Like do we know how many cat boosts mean Defcon 1?

@ai6yr

3 fatalities and 11 injuries confirmed in news conference. They highly expect those numbers to grow.

2 businesses primarily hit. Kentucky Petroleum Recycling and Grade A Auto Parts. Some employees are currently missing.

News conference still in progress

@ai6yr

Scanner audio is indicating multiple fires along Knopp Rd and surrounding area. Also just had to move a division due to petroleum flowing toward them.

800 people from Alligator Alcatraz can not be located and have no records in the ICE databases. This could be horrible (maybe intentional) record keeping or maybe we already have death camps in the US.

@apps
I honestly didn't know that mastodon supported timed mute natively now.

Not sure I followed your second part. Are you saying it's possible for Fedilab to support a time domain mute but you'd need to sync with mastodon if they begin supporting it later?

@spiegelmama
One thing I love about @apps is the powerful timed mute options they have but doing a quick look at options in the app I don't see the domain as being an option (but I could be missing it)

With AOL killing Dial Up Internet I was curious what still exists. I've found that there is over an estimated 160,000 people still using dial up in the US as their only connection (there are others using dial up as a fallback)

Earthlink quietly shut off dial up access in early 2024 (best I can tell).

Incredibly Juno and NetZero both still offer 10 free hours of dial up a month (and unlimited subscriptions).

I see Democrats complaining that people arent doing enough and then I see many of those same people chastising those organizing a day long boycott.

Republicans didn't stand around arguing with each other about whether or not they should or shouldn't boycott Bud Light - they just did it.

Any action someone is willing to take, however small, should be supported even if it's a small impact. You don't say "it's impossible to walk that far" and then let their own statement keep them from walking to their car and you certainly don't attack those that finally made it to their car.

I am appreciative of what @loops is trying to do but it's not ready... At all. It ran fairly well a month ago but it's so incredibly buggy now that it's unusable and without easy ways to get back to where you were when things freak out I find myself scrolling for 3+ mins to get back to the video I was trying to comment on - only for it to happen again.

The content is also going to become a serious issue soon as well. I've already run across things I don't care to see but there is no way to control anything. As far as I can tell following people does nothing.

All in all I feel like the app is being over promised for the position that it is currently at.
