I've been thinking a lot recently about onezero.medium.com/the-dark-fo . I think part of the reason I got tired of birdsite was the constant feeling of combativeness, of vulnerability, of being under siege. When you have a lot of followers you can get a lot of attention, which is rewarding, but also people feel the need to debate and refute you all the time. It's exhausting. I prefer quieter spaces now (like Mastodon).

New MS Edge browser in open Beta, Download links 

Installed the Beta version. It installs on a new folder, does NOT overwrite MS Edge current version (which is a nice browser, imo).

Shows on desktop and Taskbar as "Microsoft Edge Beta"

@Veilpop That is an amazing creature.

Welcome to Qoto, Veilpop.

If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-gu

Any question, just ask, and someone will try and help out.

Have a good day!

@Sphinx You are welcome. It's nice to have the tools, and be able to use when desired.

I like it a lot more here too. 😺

@Sphinx Yeah, that is what I was doing today. Discovered Birdsite browser extension, tested and it works.

Got one error the first time, I am not sure why - two images, or toot too long. Others worked ok.

Birdsite extension works well.

There was an older extension, which did Twitter to Mastodon, but he's removed it since Mastodon v.2.3 update broke it.

@Sphinx Check for the "Crossposting enabled" box, and the hash tag options. I use only crosspost if hashtag is included.

@Sphinx It's supposed to allow cross postig both ways. Here's a screenshot of my own settings, although in my case I am only going tw-masto.

@freemo

Not everyone has insurance, and even the ones who do, have different levels of deductibles, and some go untreated.

It's a shame, that Health is treated as a huge cash cow, in the US.

Their cost per person per year is higher than everyone else. The outcomes are not better.

@BernieSanders

@Sphinx MOA is quite nice.

Now, I did not intend that tweet above to be crossposted, and did not use my usual trigger tags. How did it get here? 😺

@lucasrohan@twitter.activitypub.actor Sexta feira, fim de tarde, ligo para uma loja: Essa loja fecha aos sábados? Não senhor. Sábado chego lá, tudo fechado, volto na segunda e indago do vendedor por que me haviam dito que não fechava sábado. Porque não abre. Adoro Lisboa.

@Sphinx Yes, unless its a major emergency and you need medic assistance, driving or taking a taxi, uber, is a better choice.

@Sphinx Health is seen as a for profit industry in the US, unfortunately. And to change that is quite difficult - too many entrenched interests, making huge money, will fight tooth and nail against it.

Shame, they are the only country on the OECD which doesn't have a public health system.

This is what happened when people in the U.K. were asked how much health care costs in the U.S.

Remember that our outrageous for-profit system is not the norm in other countries.

We can and we must do better.

We need Medicare for All now.
