@ViXY_DBCWe’ve got to stop the genocide, I’m not disagreeing on that part. Juat saying that Trump isn’t the answer there. He has never been the friend of Gazans, or of West Bank palestinians for that matter. Trump accelerated the annexation of Golan Heights and of Jerusalem.It’s insane that the Biden has kept on delivering bombs. I never defended that. We need to keep the pressure up for that to stop.This is the ratchet theory in action. The right makes things worse but then the so-called left keeps up the beatings. Biden’s administration announced in 2021 that they’ll continue to recognize “Trump Heights” in the Golan Heights. Voting GOP is not the answer. GOP has consistently been even worse for palestians.The first-past-the-post US electoral system is broken. It’s so hard to understand that such an utterly evil and corrupt party is by a pretty huge margin the “lesser evil”.When Trump is talking about the genocide he talks about “finishing the job”: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/28/trump-calls-biden-a-bad-palestinian-in-us-presidential-debate-jab

Is it just me or is the life span of USB cables awful? I go through so many charging cables and headphone DACs that the birds are crying.

Dear Team at idiomdrottning.org, Hope you are doing great today!Not sure if you knew that your website idiomdrottning.org has some problems that you might need to consider looking into. I spent 2-3 minutes on your website and found those errors which I have listed below:It doesn’t work properly on Mobile Phones, at all (30% of visitors browse the web from mobile these days). It doesn’t adjust properly when you resize the screen (Google and most of the other Search Engines recommends RESPONSIVE Websites rather than ADAPTIVE) It’s hard to read on larger displays (Your viewer might getting issues to read the contents) The design looks really, really dated compared to some of your competitors.So now I’m getting cruel April’s Fools pranks over email, too. There’s just no getting away.

Apparently, all RSS readers are banned on Google Play:Google added some restrictions to news app and I don’t see how Flym (and other RSS aggregators) could comply to that. For instance, Flym cannot provide a “valid and verifiable contact information” for the feed, nor it can assure that “each of the sources must meet News policy requirements”.As of today, Flym updates on Play Store are blocked by Google. So I have archived this project in order to clearly show that I won’t maintain it anymore. I’m not aware of any official way of publishing an RSS client on PlayStore and do not have motivation to argue with Google.https://github.com/FredJul/FlymJust one more argument against ever using Google Play.

@m0xEE @prahou @ozzelot I've used snownews in the past. Kinda thinking I'm gonna give elfeed a spin, either as it is or as a basis for hacking.What I'm looking for is…1. Many tabs and groups rather than one big river, but2. In each group, not have to "open each entry invidually", I'd rather just scroll a bunch in a row since they are short, but3. Easy to run/trigger a selection of a couple of custom shortcuts, bookmarklets, elisp, or shellscripts on selected item URLsI get that those wishes are kinda contradictory 🤦🏻♀️

Let’s say for the sake of argument that you’re denialist about the land use aspect of climate change and you’re thinking that only lithosphere to atmosphere is the problem. Even then eat plants. Because that uses less fossil fuels per calorie.

Web 1.0 is so seamlessly integrated with other versions of the web that making good web pages is like pouring a a glass of clean water into a poison river and saying “I’m helping!” Yes, you are, and that’s why I still bihost to web, but if I’m thirsty I’m not gonna go ladeling in the poison river. I’m gonna go on Gemini.

There’s also the loophole that I consider the cozy joys of feed readers distinct from the scary mess of the browser app! (Especially since I do a lot of my Gemini reading by converting it to Atom and reading it in a feed reader.)Here are some web resources to help with the ladeling and sieving:XXIIVV’s directory:https://webring.xxiivv.comMaya’s subscriptions:https://maya.land/blogroll.opmlLinkbudz:https://linkbudz.m455.casa

But don’t worry: if the questionnaire was true, no one would be an anarchist since the questionnaire is not internally consistent since it asks you to answer no to “Do you believe that human beings are fundamentally corrupt and evil” but yes to “Do you believe that most politicians are selfish, egotistical swine who don’t really care about the public interest?” 🤦🏻♀️https://idiomdrottning.org/are-you-an-anarchist

Succession ended up being the ultra-rich’s self-congratulatory, defanged, tame in-joke and now some of the showrunners are working with JK Rowling because of course they are 🤦🏻♀️

Last Week Tonight:So for some, especially experts in diets and nutrition, seeing the MAHA movement bring attention to issues they’re passionate about has been validating if also bittersweet.MAHA mixes a handful of good ideas with a bunch of very bad ideas. Disappointed that Daylight Computer threw in with them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E02gokpa7Ug&t=818

Kinda buried the lede there as later in the show he briefly mentions how the Trump admin is cutting greenhouse gas regulation. The most important health battle of all.Inert troposphere,you’re in the clear.Tropophere’s thicker,never been sicker.

An I’ve said before, when I went dumbphone in 2017, to my own surprise I got way less annoyed at other people being on their phone. I just felt free and happy and like “oh they wanna be connected to people or info or culture they care about, how nice”.But when I then went anti glowy screen in 2025, that annoyance at people being on their phone returned a hundredfold. I just want to put a lead shield over every reels-scrolling knucklescraper who has brightness on full blast. I long for a cityscape that isn’t a visual loudness competition. I hate phones and I hate seeing other people’s phones.

There is a huge nostalgia component to my phone-hatred but I don’t know what’s chicken and what’s egg there.

Between these two pages you can hopefully figure out the rules to koi-koi:https://www.hanafuda.fr/en/https://lovethynerd.com/a-definitive-guide-to-koi-koi/Playable with Heckadeck or Everdeck.Here is the Everdeck’s guide:https://thewrongtools.wordpress.com/2019/10/10/the-everdeck/I.e. numbers 1–12 are read as the twelve flower suits and then suits for the ranks. Two of the suits become dregs, and the five other suits become the three ribbon ranks, animals, and brights.
