I just want to get it on the record that the new FB-backed crypto should be referred to in common parlance as “Facebucks”

Listening to the original 1950s _Dragnet_ radio show. Teaser: OMG Marijuana peddlers _in your city_. Segues into heavy handed ad for show-sponsoring cigarette company 🤔

@TheKinrar image attachments are currently failing, at least for me. Upload completes, but then the image never appears in the message composer.

@joeyh argh. I understand the security restrictions from the point of view of their quest to become iOS. I just wish that wasn't their goal 😞

TFW you are digging through storage and find a hand-made patch cable that bridges between two obsolete standards for devices you no longer own (DB9 serial to ADB serial)

I lie, I still own the Cambridge Z88 the cable was built for. Four AA cells and it fired right up.I haven't had a Mac with ADB in a long time though.

@mdhughes yeah, Diaspora is a bit of a sleepy backwater for sure. It's a shame, because I like the FB inspired model (post with comments) better than the Mastodon twitter model for actual discussion. But as you found, the whole community is pretty much in maintenance mode. I'm bummed to see that pluspora, which was an instance set up for G+ refugees is also now closed to new registrations.Anyway, I linked to you from my legacy joindiaspora.com account :)

@mdhughes yeah, I've been reading Kernighan's memoir, and it's just amazing how many things we take for granted came out of the hothouse of Bell Labs circa 1970: https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/memoir.html

Single Sign On improves your enterprise experience. No longer do you employees have to log into a dozen different accounts each day, they can now log into the same account a dozen times a day.
