Please, stop!

I don’t need them to give me any more reasons to not visit Idaho! I promise I won’t go.

There are PeerTube servers that allow a certain reasonable amount of content for free.

… Until the Supreme Court invents a crazy new precedent that goes against the Constitution.

He was convicted on dozens of counts, and sentencing will occur in late November. A little treat for Thanksgiving.

If true, that might be a campaign finance violation. Any agreement with value to the campaign counts, and must be reported. That’s one of the reasons why the Stormy Daniels thing got him in hot water.

PeerTube is also a Fediverse service, and does the longer form videos, like YouTube. It mostly works fine; it just lacks content.

Side question: What do you use as an RSS reading?

I might vote for an Eisenhower Republican. 90% tax on the rich to pay for infrastructure and federal work programs? Sign me up.

“The Lord is using him as a vessel to do his good works.”

So, you’re being negative about an alpha release of someone’s hard work without checking it out first?

I don’t think you want HIPAA-level data protections over normal data, because it’s a passion in the ass to have that level of restrictiveness over mere ordinary data. It costs a lot to protect it - you’d need documented written permissions on every aspect of your data.

Especially if he lives in a vacuum.

Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud. It’s a fantastic book about comics and visual arts in general.

The Silent Majority is neither the majority, nor silent.

Fuck that guy.

Is it weird that when Democrat-leaning people are shit bags, the left and right both hate them? When Republican-leaning people are shitbags, only the left condemns them, and the right protects them.

You can find so many cases of Republicans saying, “He’s an asshole, but he’s our asshole.” Maybe too many to count.

This is exactly my training, too.

Venture capitalists funded it, and when their money runs out, they must be paid.

Bluesky users will be advertised to. Their information will be sold. No thanks!

Sad to hear this news.

You’re not wrong!

My point was, I think they would both be pommes frites.
