I built it, so there's that. I just need to figure out the cable management

😎getting an adjustable desk to help with executive function
😥realizing how much exec function is involved in setting the damn thing up

Hard to get to life and think all the "smartest people" end up on top unless you inhabit an airtight cocoon with other successful people

If Bluesky beats the fedi to the punch with mutuals only posting it's gonna be such a sad missed opportunity https://mastodon.social/@misc/113499487603136556

@inthehands Yeah, I assume they delete them but then it comes back to trust.

@inthehands The last part seems like the biggest issue for my specific concern though right? If I'm using Proton maybe Google has half of my emails, Microsoft and Apple splitting most of the rest - but they aren't all in one place. I guess that might be a fairly trivial obstacle though?

@inthehands my concern would be more, all my mail in one place, ready to be tied up in a bow and handed over to a gov agency with a subpoena. Wouldn't their model prevent that? (of course, it wouldn't prevent a "wiretap")

@inthehands that keeps coming up but I'm not sure how they are specifically better on the security and privacy front?

ugh... looking at the alternatives I am starting to think I might still proceed with my switch to protonmail - the CEO is clearly a dumbfuck and I don't want to support his dumbfuckery, but they seem like the most reliable email hosting option that I don't have to trust

ok my wife wants to watch a corny Christmas movie, what is one that is relatively good or so bad it's good

The opposite of fascism is solidarity.

I am 40 and I vow to keep better care of my health because I intend to outlive this shit.

So what's everyone doing tonight?

I think Trump is gonna lose but we really gotta do something about all these Nazis.

I did not think we could outdo "crashing helicopter" as the best metaphor for the Trump campaign, but here we are. https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/112939434828973688

Threads is a joke

UPDATE: they restored the post on appeal, but Threads remains a joke.

@inthehands This is making me nervous, because so much of the enthusiasm I'm hearing about him comes from his "attack dog auditions", but what you're saying sounds a lot like Tim Kaine.

Looks like the summer covid surge in Massachusetts may have already peaked 🤞

We need the left to come to broadly understand Big Tech as our enemy, the way they see us. And we need to start organizing accordingly, and build up alternatives to render their services irrelevant. We have the people, the talent. We just need to prioritize this and get organized. (And some funding)
