@thomasfuchs Dude, you should.

@Infoseepage @misty What about using OBS Studio for capture? I've done that occasionally to capture short clips off streaming TV.

“I was playing for my country — I shouldn’t be this uncomfortable,” the Olympian said.

No, she's not talking about trans folks, despite what politicians would have you believe. She's talking about uniforms that are meant for spectators to ogle, not the players to compete in.

I know not everyone loves the #Phillies color announcer John Kruk, but John Oliver does, and the game is never as much fun without Kruk in the booth.

@futurebird @ingrid The only thing that makes me want a new phone is that I can't get any degoogled build on my current one.

(And is everyone involved in GrapheneOS somehow blind to the fact that I don't want to buy a Pixel to install it because 👏 that 👏 means 👏 giving 👏 hundreds 👏 of 👏 dollars 👏 to 👏 Google?)

@dalias @tinker @benji_w They're only requiring it as a 2fa app, but I was willing to use Duo to secure both work and personal stuff. I'm not doing that with Mickeysoft.

@tinker @benji_w If work wants me to have a faster phone, work can fucking buy it for me. I've also used this argument to insist I'm not putting Microsoft Authenticator on anything I own.

(And when I clock out it will be turned off or going airport mode. Sleep well, helpdesk.)

@skinnylatte I took a course as an undergrad on Western religions in Asia. It was incredible to me how many Christian churches popped up in South Korea after Billy Graham had a revival where he made it sound like evangelical Christianity was the only thing that could defeat North Korea.

(Btw, https://wwnorton.com/books/Gods-Chinese-Son/ is a hell of a good book.)

@moh_kohn Bonnie Nardi's book is genius, but it's been decades since I read it. I should go find another copy.

@FinalGirl I never considered removing someone from the reply chain when stepping in to say "Might I suggest you don't fuck with my sis." Adding it to my to-do list.

@samlitzinger Learning from John Oliver that the Free Press and the for-profit unaccredited University of Austin founded by Weiss with Palantir cofounders Joe Lonsdale and David Sacks (aka Trump's crypto guy), are both funded by the billionaire founder of Kind (hq'ed in Austin), I discovered that I will never buy another Kind Bar again.

And unlike a lot of boycotts that I was already participating in by default (e.g. Walmart), I used to buy a Costco-sized box of them every month or two.

It's usually out of character for me to make fun of someone's looks, and beneath the dignity of the Fediverse for me to do so, but am I alone in thnking that Utah rep Trevor Lee looks like a toilet brush who wished he was a real boy, or at least to be Sporky?

Even if I'm alone in this, he deserves all the same respect as any other homophobic nazi.

I'm sorry to everyone asking queers to save Netflix from Elon Musk and Chaya Raichik, but for those of us who left years ago, suddenly returning to that abusive relationship is not an option.

Wait. I'm actually not sorry. Just go on about your day.

21 strikes for Christopher Sanchez before he threw the first ball, down and in, in the third inning.

24 is the record though.

@leedohm @mhoye Pennsylvania has a bunch of them. Most noticeable in Amish Country: Intercourse and Bird-In-Hand. Now if we also had Jilloff and Vibe, we could make pretty much everyone happy.

@mavnn @mhoye Ain't that a kick in the pants.

@skinnylatte My wife and I met at an International Women's Day march in San Francsico with a contingent from the "BA Cyberdykes" mailing list. Because we'd both grown up on the East Coast, we accidentally found ourselves walking a half block ahead of the rest of our group as we talked.

Later, I admitted that I'd gone hoping to score points with the woman who'd organized or group, and had also broken up with a girlfriend about two weeks before. So had Chris!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for epidurals.

@evan I haven't been to a casino since COVID started, and even before that I'd dialled back to maybe twice a year because it wasn't as much fun going to play poker without my Dad after he passed.
