@mattmay It could partly have come from the lost connections and channels for information that mainstream media won't report to get from savvy ppl to everyone else.

@shauna @aud Yeah, I really wish there were someone making a "don't have to tinker or think about" setup for Debian without corporate conflicts of interest with the user and without abdication of the core responsibilities of being a distro.

@MovementYVR Utterly mind boggling that ppl blow that much money on cars *per month*. I don't spend that much per year. Not even counting whole household.

@shauna @aud I've never used it but my experience trying to support ppl who do has always been "that's a problem you never would have had if you weren't using the enshittified fork of Debian". 🙃

@rrrichardzach @histoftech That would be any mastodon users who followed @bsky.brid.gy, right?

@shauna @aud Sounds like Canonical is both an awful employer AND an awful FOSS citizen...

@shauna@social.coop ah! No, no, I’m glad you didn’t have to go through it! I’m also glad others are aware of how ridiculous their hiring pipeline is (and how incredibly biased)! Just like… people should stay away from their postings. They’re not worth the energy to even read.

@aurynn Supposedly not at all unless you have over 1M users on your instance and it's located or doing business in oz.

@histoftech I don't know a lot about it either, but as I understand it you'll see all the notifications/interactions, but it may be limited to users who opt in to bridging.

It could be slightly confusing but I think it's beneficial to the long term strength of non-VC social media.

@andytiedye The camps will need roads to them, walls, guards, etc. These are things that can be blocked or destroyed.

Hey Mark Shuttleworth's bonkers interview process for jobs at Canonical made Ask a Manager!

(The letter doesn't name the company, but a commenter recognized it - as did I, while reading the letter - and the letter writer confirms in the comments.)

@histoftech Follow @ ap.brid.gy on bsky then we can follow you as @histoftech.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy from fedi.

@histoftech Post an @ to follow via the bridge?

@mirabilos @pixx FWIW F-Droid is pretty awful. The community around it os some of the worst of FOSS, includes channer and farmer types. This is reflected in the volume of wacky pointless Bible apps in the repo that had no reason to be an app.

@burnoutqueen

Rashida has the heart of a lioness. She towers above her sellout colleagues in the Democratic Party.

@seachanger @JoeQuinlan @burnoutqueen They're the real deal and so rare.

@mirabilos @pixx Uhg, that's infuriating.

"Not updated recently" should be a plus not something bad to be relegated to.

@SynAck @susankayequinn See the opening phrase of the post you replied too.

Still it's important for us to be citing clear constitutional law that can slow them down as it makes its way through appeals processes where lots of judges will still be correctly interpreting it.

@blogdiva I really like the descriptive tool of "horseshoe temperment" and how it resolves the bogus but appealing "horseshoe theory" as a trait of some garbage humans rather than fundamental political nature.

It’s interesting how the tone of the news reporting on NPR hasn’t changed one iota.

“Nonchalant” is how I would describe it.

“Today, Texas announced it is donating the land to build the first of many camps for the mass deportations.”

Ho hum. Just another normal day in America. Carry on.
