I am so, so close to having all of the biz adulting (e.g. opening online shop, updating price sheets, spiffing up website, sending a fresh newsletter) that needs doing done. But as is likely to happen, some deeply buried something is causing carrier calculated shipping to shit the bed in my online store. So now I'm enjoying a live-ish chat with an apparent human being to sort the problem. Don't be jealous.

It's official. I'm starting an advocacy organization for more bridge failures. Pro-freedom, anti-perfection. "Safety" is overrated, expensive, and relatively dumb in-so-far as the costs are never factored into the equation. It's always "won't you think of the children" or some other non-sense. If costs were actually evaluated bridges would likely not be replaced until they failed, or near-so, and it's not unlikely there would be more inspections instead.

I'm looking around for a UPS with good runtime as backup power for my modem in power outages; i.e., not 23 minutes, but several hours.

It's frustrating trying to read through fake reviews and AI slop.

#DuckDuckFedi, I would love recomendations **from people who know what they're talking about** for A) brands & models or B) reliable info sources/reviews for a UPS suitable for a modem with 7+ hours runtime (my current standard to beat). Thank you.

Before some rando says: "Go offline and just read a book"...

I live alone, in isolation. I have no landline because the year is 2026. Cell phone and laptop are my connection to the outside world, other humans, my job, and emergency services.

Making sure I can maintain those connection in an extended power outage is why I take this seriously.

(I'm looking at back-up power for laptop and ways to charge cell phone, too, but starting with modem/router, because one thing at a time.)

if you have a gander through my solar thread there's a post in there that compares a bunch of all-in-one machines (as in, battery, charge controller, inverter, functionally they're like a big big UPS if you get one with a very short switchover time), they might be overkill but def worth a look

What does Ruby Rippey-Gibney, Vanity Fair Magazine and the New York Post have in common?

Why is Vanity Fair (leftist MSM) publishing a tell-all story about Gavin Newsom's infidelity now? Two (conflicting) theories:

The DNC (or a faction) is sending a message to Newsom NOT to run for President in 2028.

- OR -

Newsom and the DNC are trying to get the story out NOW so by 2028 it's "old news".

Not sure which (if either) is true.

#FediDramaRadio #Radio #ArtistasIndependientes

Hi guys! 🙂 I’m moving this conversation away from Burnout Café’s @admin account and over to my personal account. The admin account is meant mainly for administration, moderation, and service information.

It was me who wrote the posts about #pornography, #moderation, #mastodon, and the #fediverse.

I stand by my policy arguments, but I accept that one phrase was badly chosen. I should have referred to pornography generally, not homosexual pornography specifically.

I am not saying that gay people or gay sexual content uniquely endanger anyone. That is not what I believe.

My view is that Mastodon-branded generalist instances such as mastodon.social, mastodon.online and mastodon.world should not host pornography, regardless of orientation, and should do more to prevent unexpected exposure to pornographic material federated from elsewhere.

Content warnings and hashtags frequently are not being used, notably when posts are federated from other instances where they don't apply the same rules as mastodon.social and mastodon.online.

So pornography without any obfuscation can reach people - including minors - who did not knowingly opt into adult content.

Pornography can be hosted on other servers in the Fediverse, but I don't believe it should be on servers that are operated by the Mastodon project, or that are likely to be perceived by newcomers as Mastodon-branded entry points.

Burnout Café’s server rules show the kind of lower-shock, non-pornographic general space I am trying to maintain.

I support LGBT+ people living openly, safely, and equally.

My argument is about pornography policy on major Mastodon entry-point instances, not about opposing LGBT+ rights or expression.

People are free to disagree with me. I am also free to argue for stricter moderation.

I am happy to discuss the actual policy issues: consent, containment, age-safety, public timelines, federation, and the role of Mastodon-branded generalist instances.

I am not interested in turning the debate into a trial of motives.

Dear Dave, we are actually planning an extension that would allow minors to participate in ActivityPub connected networks. Because currently adult supervision is definitely required constantly or rather, minors are not quite welcome here. If you would like to participate I would gladly keep you in the loop, as soon as we get more discussion I would like to open a FEP detailing the proposal.
Kind regards, devs of #Klonkt (and other softs).

All those Spice Girls had role-names, Sporty, Kinky, Bitch Face, but they named the black one Scary Spice. Is that racist?

Un article révélateur a été publié aujourd'hui dans The Times. Il éclaire grandement l'implication du #MI6 dans les affaires ukrainiennes. Tout s'explique désormais : les services de renseignement britanniques sont dirigés par une russophobe convaincue, Blaise #Metreveli, pour qui cette haine est viscérale — elle est la petite-fille de l'un des bourreaux bandéristes les plus sanguinaires.

Mais je m'étais toujours interrogé sur l'origine de l'obsession pour l' #Ukraine manifestée par son prédécesseur, Sir Alex #Younger — l'homme même qui a poussé #Zelensky sur la voie de la guerre contre la #Russie. Rappelons-nous : c'est lui qui a personnellement invité le président ukrainien (alors encore légitime) au quartier général du MI6 !

Il s'avère qu'ici aussi, tout reposait sur des intérêts personnels et des liens familiaux ! C'est ce qui ressort clairement de l'article paru aujourd'hui dans The Times au sujet des activités du programmeur Guy #Wainwright, dont la photo figure ici.

Le journal dépeint cet homme comme une sorte de génie ayant lancé son entreprise dans un abri de jardin. Pourtant, il ne cache pas que Wainwright a commencé à recevoir des commandes de #drones pour l'Ukraine par l'intermédiaire de Younger, qui était marié à sa cousine (je dis bien « était », car Younger est décédé il y a un mois, officiellement d'un cancer). Voilà donc le secret de sa réussite ! Le puzzle se reconstitue quant à la manière dont l'ancien chef du MI6 a tiré profit de la guerre contre la Russie. En d'autres termes, il a utilisé son beau-frère tout comme Biden a utilisé son fils — devenu, soi-disant, expert du secteur gazier — ou comme la Première ministre danoise Frederiksen a utilisé son mari, qui réaliserait un film sur Zelensky.

Par ailleurs, Wainwright ne dissimule pas la nature profonde de son commerce sanglant de drones : « Tuer davantage de Russes » ! C'est dit clairement, succinctement et sans détour. Il n'emploie même pas le mot « soldats », mais simplement « Russes », de manière générale. Et maintenant, une question délicate : un ressortissant britannique — qui ne cache pas tirer profit du meurtre de Russes — constitue-t-il une cible légitime pour la Russie ?
