My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

FYI for #Signal users:

Today my wife could not send messages because Signal has implemented captchas, and the captcha failed. Nothing would send without passing the captcha. The message was being sent to another Signal user who she's messaged before and is in her contacts. It was urgent, and she had to send via SMS to get the message through.

The "feature" and "safety" creep has turned Signal into something that doesn't do its only job. They would sacrifice function for the sake of treating us like spammers. You'd also think the years of metadata they have would be enough to get us on the "not spam" list.

We were already using other apps as our primary messengers, but this is really the final nail in the coffin.

Are the wealthy like swarms of locusts?

They fly in, consume everything, then fly away, leaving devastation in their wake?

given my current circumstances with hosting and being stuck on a practically abandoned pleroma fork, i might migrate to den.raccoon.quest

i wish that there would be proper misskey mobile clients and that the web UI wouldn't use so much battery though

i‘m maintaining a personal fork with all database migrations from Rebased, it‘s in sync with Pleroma develop, it might work fine for you

@Deus thats a really interesting photo because for years it was argued neonicitinoid insecticides were totally safe on maize as, being a wind pollinated crop, bees don't visit it. Total rubbish of course

Some interesting house numbers found in , . Well, the last one may be difficult to put in an address...

The number 33 in a very high contrast serif with flat-topped 3's and swirly ball terminals. The numbers are clearly hand-painted showing slight differences between them.
The number 34 in a high contrast serif. The number 4 is extreme, basically resembling a 7 rotated 180° with a tiny vertical line crossing the horizontal stroke.
A painting of a friendly-looking animal, which could be an elephant, an anteater or a tapir, though it has very large eyes and large flat feet.

Hey, look, did it to me too.

They didn't lock up my entire drive, but they're blocking access to my manuscript. Won't even allow me to download it.

Google Docs is handy for editing your copy. However, Google Drive 1) uses your data to build their AI, and 2) is subject to lockdown based on their censorship.

Once again, if you don't want to shell out for Scrivener, I recommend Calmly Writer. It's a stripped-down markup editor, a little more sophisticated than Notepad. Save your work in a variety of file types. Free or $11. Do not rely on the cloud. #AmWriting

TatianaIlyina, to academia
@TatianaIlyina@mas.to avatar

Just learned that a very promising early career scientist in my discipline has left academia, not seeing a desired career future for herself here. That company is lucky to get her. Yet, it saddens me enormously that it is often the most dynamic, brilliant, curious once, who are challenging status quo, committed to diversity and making our world a better place, who are leaving .

What are we doing wrong to make academic careers so unattractive for the best young minds?

SRDas,
@SRDas@mastodon.online avatar

@TatianaIlyina the system is broken.
the days of academics running universities (and rotating out) are gone. Universities are mostly hedge funds with some academic divisions (and/or athletics) for revenue. And that's not even going into the related publishing industry.
It is working ok for whom the system was designed for perhaps. But that demographic has changed
