I like diverse opinions too, but like "lower taxes are good for the economy" not "climate change is fake" or "trans people are all pedos and should be put to death".

Fuck their opinions.

There's a local brewing supply co that does cannister swaps for SodaStream things and I'm trying to figure out how to diplomatically ask "so are you actually paying SodaStream for rights to do this or are you just DIYing it?"

Since, like, I assume Canadian Tire pays SS for like official vendor status for swapping the cannisters.

And I don't wanna pay SodaStream. I mean I'm not gonna throw out my old stuff either, it still works, just needs fresh CO2.

I agree but the ability to have a public conversation with these organizations is excellent. It's something I've really missed since I left Twitter. "Hey

<company that puts you on hold for hours when you call for support>

Right? Especially now that BSky and Threads are bridging to the Fediverse, it should be reasonable to have gov't run Mastodon instances.

That's weird, I haven't gotten the update yet but dark mode is working fine in FF for me. The place where it fails is ff-based webapps, which I use for YouTube music, Discord, and MS Teams.

*Noam.

FF on Android has improved greatly, I don't find myself switching back to Chrome anymore.

As much as I hate the AI-gens, this is probably a good thing after that poor kid got talked into killing himself. I assume Google et al do similar already.

Now, if the cops react to being called for a person in crisis by tazing somebody, that's a different problem.

Mozilla foundation is putting together a paid product under the Thunderbird brand. Folks are excited for that, the Firefox people are good people.

Was the planet fitness wearing dark clothes and listening to music?

Lol conservatives being conservatives "we want to be tough on law breakers except for the ones who break the laws that I break".

If the speed limit is too low then it should be fixed. Non-enforcement is stupid.

Let the robot do the robot's job instead of having expensive police officers arbitrarily pull over unlucky losers to sit on dangerous shoulders and hope that nobody will accidentally kill the cop or the speeder.

K but the V = trains.

This. I used to have a Moto Z which was regular 16:9 and you could actually type in landscape and actually see the textbox with that.

The libertarian "don't tread on me" wing of the Republican party is hilariously quiet.

git is just the source control. Pull requests, web front-end, a central server that is a single point-of-truth with policy enforcement, issue management, etc. do not come in the box with git.

GitHub provides that, as do Gitlab and others. GitHub is a Microsoft product, and MS is getting scary with the AI push.

ForgeJo is self-hosted and simple.

Is forgejo federated yet?

The way people turned up their nose at the Fediverse when the Muskening happened to Twitter was heartbreaking. I knew social media was an addiction but when you find out your dealer is an absolute monster how do you not go looking for a new supplier?

But they all discarded Mastodon et al as cringe and teduoust. Like, the way even trans women influencers stayed on Twitter blew my mind. When bluesky got off the ground there was finally some migration, but not enough.

It really showed me how many of the "anti-capitalist" and the "anarchism" and "mutual aid" people were all just talk. The mutual-aid volunteer-based platform exists and you stuck with the fascist because it was easy and you're too cool for the nerd shit.

I mean he's literally a boomer.

But they make it up on volume!
