Did you know the largest gold mine operation in the world - - is ? Did you know they have a mile-long record of violations, including multiple massacres?

Sheila, a family friend, a neighbour, a mother - stolen from her family as a child during the #sixtiesScoop - a woman who did everything she could to care for her community - our community, was left impoverished and without any help from the same state that destroyed her family.

She was couch surfing, staying with my uncle when his house caught fire in the middle of the night. The others barely made it out. Sheila did not.

Sheila was the first friend to go during the pandemic. There have been 9 more since then. I haven't even been able to begin process Sheila's passing.

I'm greatly looking forward to this permeant public reminder of a friend, but more importantly a role model - a person who despite having very little, gave it all. The same cannot be said about most.

May her death bring positivity, and foster a sense of community over consumption.

Had my first grocery shop during #boycottLoblaws today. Ended up getting some stuff from the next worst grocer, #sobeys.

In the produce section there is a sign showing their "So-Local" branding along with the claim "Grown right here at home".

I would like to point out that EVERY SINGLE ITEM under that sign is IMPORTED from either "USA" or "USA or Mexico".

We live north of the USA, and very north of Mexico.

Not a single local item on the shelf. Not even one from this country. So-Local indeed.

I don't see this mentioned as a symptom associated with , but since it's onset I've been plagued with powerful fits of hiccups that come on instantly and usually only last about a minute.

They seem to be triggered by changing position from sitting to standing. They seem to be more likely if I've had anything to drink while seated.

Any other with this, or just me?

For those who are bitching about President Biden and saying the Gaza situation will cost him the election, WTF do you propose?! Third party has ZERO chance! Have you learned anything from 2016?!?!?! The Orange shit stain suggests that Netanayu "finish the job!". How dare anyone say they or both sides are the same. If that's your belief, unfollow me now!!!

The "anti-biden" thing is simply real people's real response to the actions and words Biden himself has said and done.

Regular, real citizens of the earth see and hear him. We make up our own minds. We decide that fascism and racism are not qualities we want in a world leader.

What people want is for the democratic party to run a candidate that is not a corporate stool, nor a fascist, nor racist, etc. They want a real option for progressive change. They want the status quo that has ravaged this planet to end. Biden is a staunch supporter of that status quo, as well as actively bombing and starving captive civilians.

I'm not an American. I'm a "regular" free-thinking citizen of Canada, where we have our own problems with status quo and racism.

You can call me a Russian spy if you want, but that has nothing to do with reality - you know, the one where Biden is pumping cash into a genocide, AND beefing up the police state in order to combat YOUR OWN CHILDREN, and eventually YOU.

We sure as fuck don't want trump's or poilievre's. We want a leader that isn't down with racism, genocide, and selling out the 99% - and Biden is far from that leader.

Ask yourselves why it's Biden running and not Sanders.

I hope this helps.

I'd like to put some folx together to raise awareness and have conversations outside of our local "Real Atlantic Superstore".

I'd love to print one of their 2020 fliers onto big posters to remind everyone that butter shouldn't be $9.

If you get mad when you see employees at a business you are patronizing laughing, enjoying each other's company, and goofing off, you're a dick. Empathize with people working a shitty underpaid job, and let them enjoy what little fun they get.

We are burning to death. We are killing ourselves and our future generations. We're poisoning everything. We're siphoning what little capital is left for the 99 into the pockets of the oligarchs.

This has to stop. Now.

I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy https://github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

Microsoft has literal TRILLIONS of dollars. They do not NEED ad revenue.

I hooked my GNU/Linux-loving son up with an old #lenovo #thinkcenter mini-PC that I picked up at a used AV store for about $50. For another $20, I upgraded the ram to 12GB.

He's got it setup it up with #debian as his first home server, with which he's now hosting a few static websites and an internet radio station for his friends and family. He's got loads of resources to spare for when he gets into running larger services.

You don't need to spend $30+ a month on cloud services when an old recycled office PC will more than suffice.

The best part? Helping him troubleshoot his problems with #DNS and #nginx and all that fun stuff. I've already made every mistake possible over the decades, and he gets to benefit from that. That how it should work!

Have you seen the #MikeJudge film #idiocracy?

Have you seen it since 2020?

It doesn't hold a candle to today's supernovae of stupidity.

Unless you #selfhost your own #mastodon instance, or you're a #mastoAdmin, you have likely taken #fullTextSearch for granted.

Behind search for masto is a resource-hungry #java application called #elasticSearch. Sure you might be able to get Masto to run on a #raspberrypi4, but you won't be running elastic search with it.

Having recently moved my instance to a much more powerful system, I now run ES, and WOW what a difference being able to search post makes! Soooo many times I wanted to reference a toot that had scrolled by but had no way of finding it. Now I do!

Even though I've put some serious resource limits on ES, it's bar none the most resource intensive service running (out of around 25).

Please consider sending a few bucks to the #MastodonAdmin of your instance. Better yet, if you can afford it, sign up for a monthly donation. They need it.

My back-in-the-day answer is: "shitloads". Now, probably just the fumes from an empty shot glass would do it.

Do YOU have experience designing or circuits? How about implementing I²S audio?

I'm basing the front-end on the incredible differential instrumentation amplifier by . We're talkin' competition into a BB 😎.

I could really use help with the usb implementation.

Someone I know suspects he's on the spectrum. We were talking recently about movies, and he can't watch most action or superhero movies. Mostly he has trouble with scenes that are very busy, lots of things happening -- he finds it overwhelming. He might even get a headache from those scenes. Is this a common thing?
On the other hand, he loves going to live music, and will go, usually by himself, to venues that might be crowded and loud.
Do others have the same mix of reactions? What's the difference? We're just trying to understand.

There's a coworker of mine who every few weeks runs some vinegar & hot water through our coffee system, which was previously serially neglected. You wouldn't believe the green colour of the wash water that comes out of the thing... Cleaning is worth it!
