Speaking of weak Democrats, you have no idea how much trouble I've had getting Democrats in #Maine to introduce or otherwise advocate for gun reform legislation. I've written multiple times to the chair of the Democratic Senate Committee, the Executive Director of the Maine Democratic Party, Senate President Mattie Daughtry (my state senator), the Maine Gun Safety Coalition, and more. All of them refuse to answer me. What cowardice. #Politics #Democrats #Guns #GunReform #Democracy #US #USpol
I think the Dems are wise not to embrace the MGSC agenda wholesale.
To take just one example, revoking Constitutional Carry would end any chances of Dems winning outside of Portland and maybe a few pockets on the coast.
@fm2279 I agree, but my request has nothing to do with that. It's possible to have gun reform legislation that does not infringe upon other Second Amendment rights, as many other states have done. (I'll reserve further comment on what I think of the Second Amendment, but you can probably guess.)
If you're not talking about the given example, then it's hard for readers to have any idea at all what it is you want Daughtry (and Maine Dems) to do.
A lot of the bills that have come out of the offices of Southern Maine Dems have been pretty rightly panned by lots of folks, including the ACLU (e.g. the ill-conceived ten-round limit on semi-automatics).
@fm2279 Under Maine law, municipalities are allowed to regulate where and when residents may shoot guns. Most communities in our area do so, but ours won't. I've asked for legislation that would make it mandatory. That legislation would not in any way infringe upon a resident's right to own firearms. It would merely stop them from taking target practice in the backyard (an utterly pointless activity) and frightening unsuspecting neighbors.
@fm2279 The state could make it an issue. As I'm sure you know, Maine municipalities have home rule. They can do as they please, as long as their actions do not violate state or federal law. If the state makes it mandatory, the municipality would have to abide. Hence my messages to Mattie Daughtry. I'm aware of the prospects of passage, but you have to start somewhere. Unless one cares more about staying in power than solving problems.
Nah, guns are and have been a state-wide issue for quite some time, politically and otherwise. This is not a local problem of bad neighbors. Children dying by guns is a significant issue: death by firearms is the second leading cause of death among children and teenagers in Maine. That's unacceptable, and sensible gun laws/sensible enforcement of existing laws would almost surely help. @michaelmagras@mstdn.social
You can look up the data about the entire state of Maine having this problem with children dying by firearms yourself. Your response is literally not rational. I'm out. @michaelmagras@mstdn.social
@abucci I think you're talking about how guns are dangerous as a very general concern, while I (and I thought we) were talking about a specific problem with discharge of firearms within a local jurisdiction that has the power to regulate it but doesn't.
Those aren't the same thing.
And I want to be friendly here because I've found our interactions to be pleasant in the past, but I'm not sure the way you've jumped in and out of the thread here is the gold standard for "rational".
@abucci It doesn't seem very fair, I'd add, to conflate a position on subsidiarity and regulation of discharge of firearms with some general pro-mass-murder position.
I reacted to the statement that gun-related issues and laws in Maine are a local problem, which they very clearly are not. The specific one at hand, a person using a firearm in their yard, might be framed as a local/municipal problem if one were inclined to ignore the context in which it's occurring. But I am not so inclined. Furthermore, it's a perfectly reasonable and valid political act to petition your state to take action that your municipality will not, and force it to be a statewide issue that needs to be addressed (which it is, and has been, for some time). That's how politics works. I found your responses here--that it's "just a local problem"--to be needlessly dismissive of an important issue. I'd also like to keep things friendly, but I don't find dismissiveness like that to be very friendly.

@m0xEE have you thought of making a collective where we operate dns with some sort of trust mechanism? i have a budget to make this a thing. maybe we can talk about it someday
Yeah, great idea! DNS, while decentralised, is still becoming a problem as a lot of critical parts are controlled by corporate entities which at times do not cut it. However recreating it on the same technological stack with different people at the helm would make little sense IMO and would be just siphoning resources. I think we have to explore what modern approaches to decentralised name resolution exist and maybe build on that, filling the missing parts and creating a compatibility layer. E.g. TOR works, I have privoxy that redirects everything .onion to TOR network, but it's slow as a snirtle.
TLS certificates are becoming another problem: toot.mirbsd.org/@mirabilos/sta… Google is taking over LetsEncrypt and doing business as they deem fit for themselves, of course some babies are getting thrown away with the water 😩
@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com Originally it's an acronym for The Onion Router — they still have onion in their logo and in the TLD. I couldn't give less shits about how they are choosing to stylise it for the sake of having a registered trademark 🤷
I hope it’ll help you ❤️. But at the same time I’m quite shocked what considers as more healthy yoghurt. Bad pics of what we have in the fridge. One is organic Røros and the other cherry from Tine. The plain one is fat milk, skim milk powder, yoghurt culture and local culture (tettekultur). Tine has also fat milk, sugar, cherries and cherry juice, skim milk powder, carrot juice, aromas, elderberry juice, yoghurt culture. That is “mainstream” yoghurt, cheap and in every store.

i really need to make some proper guide rails for my shop press to hold different dies. something with ball bearing sleeves and adjustment mechanism, and some big springs
currently i just wedge the cylinder in there with spacer blocks but i don't like 30 tons pressing on loose stuff. if anything gets cocked it can let loose and send heavy parts flying
i did make some mounting brackets for the car body work that solidly mounts a hydraulic cylinder on the frame but that was only for my 12 ton ram not the 30 ton.
just no time for this endless tool making right now. keep having to put stuff off til after the move and it's driving me nuts

Because children love to break windows, when they become adults they discover true freedom and prefer Linux. But still, don't give windows to children, it is very expensive🤣
I get the point. I would describe Windows as a prison, where you're ordered what to do and your boundaries are tied, and Linux as a playground where children can choose, learn, and experiment. Children belong in the playground and not the prison.

Since it struck Iran on June 13, the Israeli Government Advertising Agency has paid for tens of millions of advertisements on YouTube alone. In clear breach of Google’s policies, these ads justify and lionize the attack as a necessary defense of Western civilization, and claim that Israel is carrying out “one of the largest humanitarian missions in the world” in Gaza.
Israeli media reported Monday that four Israeli forces were killed in the Gaza Strip when resistance forces attacked their armored vehicle during operations.
"Gaza soll für Jahrzehnte eine Insel der Ruinen bleiben"
Mittlerweile werden Wasserverteilstellen angegriffen. Israel hat jeglichen moralischen Kompass verloren. Es geht nur noch ums Aushungern, Töten und Vertreiben.
Die Versorgung im Gazastreifen ist ohnehin desolat, nun wurden mehrere Menschen an einer Wasserverteilstelle durch eine israelische Rakete getötet. Israels Regierung legt mit drastischen Worten nach.

😊 Un site de vente en ligne récompense à présent avec une blague les acheteurs qui évaluent les produits. Sans plus attendre, je vous fais profiter de mon cadeau :
#snac2 allows for translations via .po files and on my instance I've used it to replace status action buttons' captions with colour emojis — makes the UI a bit nicer on a phone. For favourite, boost and bookmark I've used the set that I already use in my BloatFE and the rest are just initial rough ideas — which, I have to admit, aren't perfect: crossed out speaker and crossed out bell, garbage bin and big red cross are a bit confusing as to what they might mean — we'll see if I can come up with something better.
And I've also brought back Mastodon's famous "toot" button. Yes, the one with the elephant 😏
@menel@snikket.de Right? I LOVE colour emoji — can liven up any UI without making it more bloated. Works with TUI software too, hehe's tut I've patched to make use of colour emojis: They serve as visual anchors and require few to make use of — most modern terminal emulators support them and most systems have some sort of font. Works fine even in st on my olde ThinkPad T43 😁
@menel@snikket.de This does the trick for me. However my goal was to avoid wrapping so they always remain in one line — to prevent pressing the buttons for destructive actions by accident. When buttons are arranged in one line they are usually rightmost and are easy to avoid. However under deeply nested replies they DO start wrapping 😖
My solution for now is to hide the desctructive action buttons with uBlockOrigin — I barely ever block anyone and if I need these, I can always make them visible again. With less buttons they also fit in one line even for the deeply nested comments. Mayve one day I can come up with a proper solution, but for now… this is fine 😅
@grunfink@comam.es Thank you! And thank you once again for snac2 — who knew that hosting a Fediverse instance on a 20 year old machine with a now mostly forgotten architecture would be not only possible, but also relatively hassle-free! 😁
