More UFO-type (or maybe video game) proof that Tesla Cyber Trucks are out there.

Attorney General Todd Rokita Tells Monroe County to Rescind ‘Sanctuary City’ Policies

"Attorney General Todd Rokita has issued a threat to local officials in Monroe County, home to the city of Bloomington, along with several other Indiana localities: rescind “sanctuary city” policies or face legal action starting July 1."

Todd Rokita is an awful person.

OK, this is getting serious. I am only following 218 accounts, and I'm now up to 202 followers.

I need some new cool people to follow so my follower count does not surpass my followee count.

Tell me about your coolest accounts on for me to follow, stat! (English, French, or Esperanto, only.)

This is not a drill!

Thanks! Added them!

Chris Hallbeck and Binder were already in my follow list, so maybe you and I have similar tastes in wackiness!

All of the Tesla Cyber Trucks I spot in the wild are on my dash or doorbell cam, so they all look like Bigfoot or UFO sightings. This one was spotted on I-65 South near Exit 258.

@KrissyKat It's like Elon saw a video game in 1997 and thought it was really cool.

today:

  1. I think the daily Mass crowd is starting to understand how I feel about their cellphones ringing incessantly every. single. day. Not once during Mass today.

  2. My administration staff meeting went so far off the rails, I didn't even care where the rails were anymore.

  3. I set up a NextCloud instance and threw everything from Google Drive and One Drive in, and set up Ubuntu. Still a lot of tuning to do, but I like it.

@ScottStarkey@hoosier.social avatar

Hey-hey! I'm grateful for at least #3GoodThings!

  1. I've been in a great mood lately! Yesterday I walked over 15k steps!

  2. Part of those steps: I did strolling magic yesterday. The host liked me so much, they gave me a 15% tip! I also tried out a couple of new effects and they worked like a literal charm. I was in a flow state.

  3. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous the last few days. I've not needed air conditioning.

Free microwave oven!
It works! But no turntable. The turntable gear works, though. You can probably find a substitute turntable at a second-hand shop.

In Dayton, Indiana. DM if interested.

I sometimes thought my father thought he could't die while he still had books on his pending pile (a stab at immortality I seem to be replicating)... so, it was strangely touching to see Tom Gauld has had similar thoughts.

Hey folks! Guess what? Good news!

I was cast in a play at the Lafayette Civic Theatre Play Festival! I will be playing an aging stoner, like totally typecast, man.

I also wrote one of the plays which will be presented as well. If you want a double-dose of seeing your good pal Scotto do creative comedy stuff, then mark your calendar for the last weekend in June.

I watched The Big Lebowski for the first time yesterday.

Wow, what an amazing movie! I expected something very different than I got. And what I got was about a laugh a minute.

Next major version of the livechat #Peertube plugin will have a now "to-do list" feature!

Here is the user's documentation:
https://livingston.frama.io/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/user/streamers/tasks/

Let me know if you have some feedback on the documentation: is it clear? are they some "english mistakes"?

ScottStarkey,
@ScottStarkey@hoosier.social avatar

@John_Livingston

Hi John - I would be happy to copy-edit for you. I have an English writing bachelor's degree...
... et je parle un peu français.

You did a fantastic job for a person who learned English as a second language. That being said, I would make the following changes:

"All room’s admins..." at several places in the document should be rooms' (with the apostrophe after the s).

[1/2]

ScottStarkey,
@ScottStarkey@hoosier.social avatar

@John_Livingston
"he/she gets instantly access"

You should probably say "they get instant access" or "they instantly get access". I would prefer the first option, though.

"You can also edit existing tasks list"
I would say "You can also edit existing task lists"

Also later you have "tasks lists" should probably be "task lists". Task is an adjective modifying lists, and thus singular.

Hi John - I guess we are brothers from another mother. 🤓 🥰

I will check out your GitHub.

[I will review and edit on GitHub !]

Merci et à bientôt

ScottStarkey,
@ScottStarkey@hoosier.social avatar

@John_Livingston

Ah, yes. In that case it should be "every room's admins" instead of "all room's admins".

I made some other changes in in the pull request.

ScottStarkey,
@ScottStarkey@hoosier.social avatar

@John_Livingston

You may need to fix my "all rooms'" to "every room's".

Start here by deleting everything Google thinks it knows about you.

https://www.theverge.com/24141741/google-data-delete-how-to

Then pick up with my tips for Google free living.

https://www.optoutproject.net/the-best-non-google-search-engine/

It’s so much better out here without a data-sucking behemoth controlling everything you see, flooding your search results with spam and injecting the internet with LLM-generated sludge. Bonus, if you leave, your data stops contributing to serious ethical problems.

Thanks for @Em0nM4stodon for passing The Verge’s How To along.

@cyberlyra @Em0nM4stodon

I liked this... and agree with it totally. (And, then I steal a line from improv theatre...)

"Yes, and..."

I was hoping there would be mention of #PeerTube in the video section.

Although it's a nascent service with very little content by comparison, it's getting more every day. And it has some great content out there that I love and follow. And it's followable from right here on Mastodon or your favorite Fediverse service!
