@skinnylatte I was given an air fryer recently, and I do use it, but it’s basically just a fancy toaster oven. Convenient but not an act of care, connection, or artistry.
@Jaden3@mtechman My modern favorite is Rare Exports, it’s a Christmas horror movie from Finland. My old-time favorite is We’re No Angels, 1955 with Humphrey Bogart. Three murderers escape prison and plot to rob a family, but they become the good guys by accident!
That line about “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” is going around again; be aware it was made up in the 1990s, with no source backing up the claim that it’s older. It became popular among messianic cultists, and they have made many websites and memes asserting it’s ancient, but it’s a modern fake.
You can celebrate your chosen family without needing that particular phrase.
@davetroy Destroying the state is not the only defining characteristic of anarchism, it is only the most simplistic freshman-level element. The specific right-libertarian people in the specific case of bsky funding are all power-hungry exploiters, not devotees of a narrow historical branch of political philosophy.
@davetroy Anarchism is “no rulers including myself.” Libertarianism (in recent usage) is “no rulers except myself”, with the implication that literally everyone else is just a resource to exploit. A sort of “distributed monarchism” with trade agreements between a million rapacious kinglets.
@davetroy This is all good for people to know, but *please* don’t call these jerks “anarchists” or call it an “online anarchist movement”. They don’t want to be regulated *themselves*, but they are actively trying to subjugate and exploit others, which is anathema to anarchism.
Is anyone here a #gmail expert? Years ago I set up a client’s email with gmail as the UI for an account on a hosted domain. Now we have changed both the registrar and the host, and I cannot find a way to access the pop/imap setup for the account. Gmail has instructions for sending gmail to another client like outlook, but not for changing the setup on an email account coming in to gmail. #HiveMind
@CrisColor@dansup@pixelfed It is not in the iOS app store. Also I have asked both Dan and the pixelfed accounts about this multiple times and they have never replied.
