@maison_faim The odds are mostly against the players.

Best option -- Blackjack, you get a better chance there.

@maison_faim @freemo Sticking to #ideas, not #semantics since that is a #pain in the butt and best left for lawyers.

@maison_faim
No it's not.

Life is not Fair. And then, you die.

So best get used to it and live the best we can each day. 😉

And today I had a ball -- saw a post at another instance earlier, which inspired me to research and write today's Blog Du Jour.

The page about how to get Windows 10 Pro license key for a very low price (USD$11.79).

Very happy with the whole page - design, layout, writing all.

It was also totally produced right here on my laptop. Yesterday I struggled for a few hours, but went to bed happy that I had got my own Instance of write.freely running locally.

Now, I switch back and forth, between image editor, text editor, browser windows with remote sites and another with a localhost page -- where I create my page.

When it's complete, a quick copy-paste into my public Host for the blog and hit Publish, it's live in 10 seconds.

Many thanks to:

* write.freely team https://writefreely.org

* MySQL team and Oracle Corporation. https://www.mysql.com/

And all the folks that work to create this wonderful #fediverse we enjoy now. TY!! 😉

Dream day with a favourite Actress? My friend liked my choices. Joanna Lumley would be fascinating, she's wonderful. And we would drive on the mountain roads in central #Portugal, #slowly, no rush, enjoying the day and the company, landscape. #travel #film #xp

Empires rise and fall. The British one, once spanned the Globe, there was a saying about the Sun never setting in all of the British Empire.

And it was true. 😛

Poor Brittania, nowadays in the hands of incompetent and untrustful politicians.

American Empire shone bright in the XX century, but time will pass, things change.

Happened before, will happen again...

Get Windows 10 Pro Legal Key, Cheaply.

There are many people who need a license for a new or updated Windows 10 installation. The support for Windows 7 is expiring in one month from now – January 20, 2020.

If you don't have a license to install Windows 10 and have not yet previously upgraded to it, you can purchase a copy Directly from Microsoft here The cost at the moment showed as USD$199 !

My new Blog page shows a way to obtain a LEGAL key, atm costing only USD$ 11.71 .

See it here: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/get-windows-10-pro-legal-key-cheaply

@Sphinx
Yes, it's the most common installed package. But you can chose to add another language, or set your preferred version.

Here in Canada, colour, neighbourhood, favourite all have that.

Americans created neologisms like niteclub... 😛

The volume of posts in twitter is imense, I tend to think of it as half of the people there being stunned, speechless at all the noise and crap.

The other half, yelling at top of their lungs, trying to get attention.

And there's no one to complain to, as the administration there is corporate, and changes the rules if an account is big and brings traffic.

Here, people can object and register it in a publicly viewable manner. Even if the admins of the offending instance deny or disregard the complaint, it all is on the record.

And we can isolate instances we feel unworthy or aggressive, etc.

I find it immensely more sane.

@Skypilot

@freemo

I fully agree with what Skypilot said -- It is pretty mild here in mastodon so far, unlike the hell hole that Twitter can be.

That's where the yelling matches and shock troops are deployed.

@Skypilot

@freemo You probably noticed that post is from Junior, not the orange man himself, right?

Junior is a possible contender for the continuation of their dinasty, there was a good article discussing that; maybe it was on The Atlantic. DJT's preference was for Ivanka, but Junior has been playing the audience on raliies and doing well apparently.

A scary though, this becoming a dinasty.

@realcaseyrollins @YouTube

Books >> Video imo.

Film >> TV as well.

But it's opinions, like noses, everyone has one.

@realcaseyrollins @counterculture

That is nice - well done, Casey. I think that will clear up the pages from clutter, they will load faster and do what a blog is supposed to do -- present your ideas, ideally without distractions.

I was thinking about you, upon realizing there's a CSS box in the write.freely user side interface; so you could set some settings there to have a personal space with colours and things, other than the defaults.

Have never used CSS or know anything about it, but it might come time to add to list of things to investigate.

I got the idea to try and do a local install of write.freely and after some hours of struggle the baby was born, lol. Can now do my post creation here, in house, and experiment with things without breaking my official public URL.

MySQL was a learning curve, but all new things do take some effort.
