Forget volatility. Corporate greed is why prices go up.

Stupid Trump.

@Infoseepage @intransitivelie Or he simply did too much after getting out of hospital. I understand he was told to rest, but he decided to go out on a road tour for Easter.

I suspect like a number of non-Catholic priests I've know, he was a workaholic.

Welcome, Christine! I try to keep in mind to that we are all just a short distance from blindness - a stroke, accidents involving eyes, untreated cataract, untreated glaucoma, etc. We're all very fragile beings!

@apps
Hmm. Notification for new followers, sorted by date. How to display all categories in tabs?

@apps
I was looking for some way to search or sort the list of followers. Sort by date they started following, or search on handle or name or such. Something that I'd think could be done in the app once the data is received.

@apps
Thanks. Only way I stumbled on opening my profile to *see* the followers tab was by accidentally tapping my profile picture. Not very discoverable! There's a dropdown arrow by my profile that I tried first, but it only offers options to add an account or logout. Maybe add "Followers" as an option there?

I couldn't find the follower I sought because the list offers no search tools and doesn't appear in any order that makes sense.

Oh, well! Thanks for the app.

@apps Question, cannot find answer. How can I view my list of followers in Fedilab? Thanks.

@libreoffice Well, found nothing helpful in LO Writer 24.8's online help or their website. I use Debian Linux. I create a new Master Document but the Navigator Pane will not display at all. F5, View > Navigator, neither does anything. No change when starting in Safe Mode. Without it, I can't add any subdocuments. Ideas?????

Dear Laptop Makers:

I do not want feature "blah-blah-blah" in my new laptop. I just replaced my high-performance laptop with a high-performance desktop.

I'm getting 3x the performance while the hardware is running half as hot as the laptop did. And the desktop is quieter.

Sincerely,
Me

Good luck! They are banned here in Hawaii, but that didn't stop people from setting off commercial grade aerials in their front yard, burning down their house, etc.

Hawaii has a long Asian fireworks tradition, where the loudness is an important part of frightening away evil spirits. Drone displays are pretty, but lack loudness!

Alternatives to Telegram? Matrix seems to lack some of Telegram's features.

Only grows when it's on the vine.

Lose your love when you say the word mine."

Same thing with medical reports!

You're welcome! I lived in California when he was governor trying to destroy the UC and California State College systems, so I agree. I also think he was already developing Alzheimers at the time. By the time he was president, it was already there although well-concealed by his handlers...

He was the actor hired to be their face, and just followed the scripts they gave him, in my opinion.

No, the GOP did. Reagan just did what he was told.
