I addition to deleting #CNN from my phone, I've removed them from the Firefox completely. That includes their nearly 2 dozen cookies.Now to remove them from my #SiriusXM favorites page.Please don't boost #CNN's brand of fascist-fawning. They belong to #Trump now.

@Arkenston Medieval-looking. Love the arch that isn't. Might have undergone some permutations.

We should enjoy this moment in history, for it is spectacular and long overdue. Today a black woman with great power gave the commencement address to a graduating class at a U.S. military academy. Take a deep breath. For all of the horrible things happening in the Republican party and our world, this is something the Democrats would never have had the spine to make real in times past. Progress. Long time coming. Bigger than a baby step. No token, she.

@stux No headlights, taillights, turn signals, bumpers, seat belts, license plates... If this guy's pulled over, the cop will get writer's cramp trying to list all of the offenses. But I like that he kind of has to duck to avoid a skull fracture from traffic signs, lights, bridges... the only thing that would make this more outlaw would be if Ralph Nader were the driver.

Why is the son of a bitch in Moscow so aggressive?Trump the traitor kept our secrets in a public restroom so anyone could read them.The Saudis were so happy, they gave Jared $2,000,000,000.00 for their cut of our secrets, I'm sure.Iran, who now knows our plans and weaknesses, is also more aggressive:https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-has-received-hundreds-iranian-drones-attack-ukraine-white-house-2023-06-09/

@gregpak Kids in the 60's thought music of the 40's was so old it grew mold. Contrasting, hip-hop is 50 years old and people still sing "We will rock you" at games. That time period Happy Days portrayed was technologically and socially transitional, which, I think, made it nostalgic.

@stux It might be "Threads," their answer to Twitter. What fun.

Justices Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch today voted to end democracy in America. But for 6 others, they would have. None of the 3 are fit for SCOTUS with that attitude.

When the #Atlantic meridional overturning circulation collapses & the #UK is tossed into a freezer, the far-right will scream that there is no #ClimateChange or #GlobalWarming because there is ice where it shouldn't be. Count on it. Meanwhile, #Antarctic ice growth is the worst in our record keeping (it isn't even close) as the far-right bellows about our genitalia, our educations, our relationships, guns - anything except what they did & continue to do to every living creature we know of for $.

@NorCal_Lynne @randahl Not an error. It's hard-coded. I'd have to look but it's like following 1.2(?) times more people than follow you. As you post and more people follow you, the restriction will disappear again. I think there's also a daily limit in there, but it was quite high, if it's mastodon I'm recalling for that.

@randahl @NorCal_Lynne The one thing mastodon is very good at is getting me to look at the code. I'll check.

@randahl @NorCal_Lynne You are correct, but the instance has control over it. Hard-coded it's 7500 follows and a follows ratio of 1.1. Both are overridden by environment variables, if they are set. There may be instances where the limit is higher or lower, based on what I see in the code. This instance clearly isn't one of them.Running one's own server has some advantages.

Put the f'ing utilities in the f'ing ground so that when f'ing wildfires come roaring upon communities in the middle of the night they're not f'ing asleep because the f'ing alert system was based on f'ing above-ground systems which the raging inferno f'ing burned to the ground they should have been insulated by. Pardon my f'ing French.https://news.sky.com/story/hawaii-wildfires-emergency-sirens-failed-to-trigger-before-blaze-as-death-toll-of-55-expected-to-rise-12938277

@stux This might have been someone's solution to the problem of everyone - I mean, everyone - pouring used motor oil down storm drains.

@rbreich Somebody check my math. If a multi-billionaire owns a corporation with, say, 30,000 employees, and that unnamed multi-billionaire is trimmed by $12B/year, assuming everyone works 40 hours/week, 50 weeks a year, everyone gets a $200/hour raise.People don't understand the scale of the transfer of wealth going on here. Every newly-minted billionaire is a blow to democracy. They have the wealth of nations in their petty cash drawers.

No matter how much fun following old instructions to install mastodon may be, I can take heart that I am not Donald Trump.

I'm deleting all videos from my YouTube channel, except those posted automatically when I release a new album. They butchered at least the last 2. I'll recreate them all for my PeerTube site. 7 are there now.YouTube has screwed up colors. Oversaturated. Blurred details. One video skips ahead of its audio. I've had it.Meanwhile, they all look fine on PeerTube.Here is a link to my PeerTube site. I appreciate boosts.https://video.stevesworld.co/#music #MusicProduction #YouTube #video
