Greetings Programs!! It's been a bit, but tonight we're going to work on, you guessed it, @pidgin 3.0. Alpha 1!! Come on by!! twitch.tv/rw_grim/

0.22" - For if you are attacked by a squierrel.

9mm - If you are attacked by a human

0.45 ACP - If you are attacked by a human in knight's armor

10mm - If you are attacked by a bear

0.50 BMG - If you are attacked by a bear in knights armor.

@customdesigned Neat. Just keep in mind that this is not a proper reply to the toot you quoted. For that you should use the normal reply button. They won't get notified (unless you add a mention to them in your quote), and the threading gets broken up. The quote is more meant to put that post in the spotlight with you adding commentary.

Sadly, I am unlikely to be able to make it, even online.

What is a "retoot" on Mastodon? I keep seeing it mentioned, but there doesn't seem to be such an option.

SWEET! My license to conceal carry a firearm has just been approved!!!!

As someone who is acrophobic, I'm having a hard time with "Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom". There are some games where I can set this aside and remind myself it's just a game (like "Breath of the Wild"), but "Tears" seems to double-down on it.

Looking forward to an afternoon of quiet . Where ever you are in the world I wish you a pleasant .

It's intriguing how overconfident house cats are against animals that are much larger than them

That... is... brilliant! Even if only to get them out of the regular lanes!

Can we please stop throwing around the threat of defederation?

Defederation shouldn't happen unless an instance is a cesspool full of terrible behavior with an admin unwilling to deal with it.

Annoyances like spam can be dealt with by admins without scorching the Earth and going nuclear.

Lets not turn the #Fediverse, where instance are supposed to be part of a larger collection, into islands of instances that have cut themselves off from others because of annoyances.

@freemo COVID-19 is one of those things that should not be political but for some bizarre current era reason it is. I fully understand laymen having wildly different views though, as some people are more risk averse than others. This isn’t necessarily political.

My personal feeling is that even if something is so freaking lethal that it will surely end up killing me I’d rather spend my few remaining days is peace not thinking about it 24/7.

@customdesigned @pidgin On UNIX like systems you should already have purple-url-handler installed which is already setup to handle xmpp: uris via the .desktop file.

@customdesigned @wordshaper @timbray One interesting aspect is that originally multicasting (to a considerable extent) was based on a typical "broadcasting" model of many people listening (or viewing) to the same thing at the exact same time. As on-demand, user choice applications came to dominate, this model became less and less useful.

The "RESTRICT" act, is billed as the "ban TikTok" bill (which the Federal Govt has no Constitutional authority to do beyond banning from the Federal Govt - a good idea). Actually, the bill says they can ban any "platform" they deem a "threat to national security". This is a blatant violation of the 1st amendment.

But, while it clearly says they can ban TikTok and Truth Social, and Rumble and other centralized platforms they don't like, some disturbing paragraphs imply they can ban protocols like Bitcoin or ActivityPub or Matrix as well.

The sentence for using a banned "platform" is 20 years.

I can't see how any Republican, Democrat, or Libertarian could vote for this monster.
