The shot clock is back in the game and NBAFB is finally complete! The original 7-segments had failed when I bought this game and it was hard to source the original part, so I had to get creative. These 7-segments are a tad larger and use a custom board to hold them, but very few players will probably ever notice it's not the original. #pinball #pinrepair

People who keep their spirit healthy in times when their bodies are not. I admire them so much.

It’s #STFUfriday!

When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:

- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.

- Am I free to leave?🧵

- I am not answering any questions.

- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."

- I want to speak to a lawyer.

Cops are only REQUIRED to give you Miranda warnings if you are “in custody.” “Not free to go” is an oversimplification.

Remember you can always invoke your rights even when you aren’t in custody.🧵

The most personal data from more than 13 million people who have healthcare from Kaiser Permanente was given to Microsoft, Google and others. How? Looks like Kaiser's web/mobile applications went all in with the spyware Big Tech seeds into everything it can.

The people who run Kaiser should lose their jobs for this. They won't. They'll blame some underlings who won't be held accountable in any real way.

Ad-tech is cancer on privacy. And it's everywhere. Use blockers!

A while back I downloaded my old #couchsurfing profile (because I was joining #Couchers). I ended up in tears reading about all the kind, gentle things the hundred or so people who had surfed my sofa were doing with themselves 15 years on from hippying around Europe. The world is full of wonderful, kind people. I need to remember that more often

Des mutuals sont sur BeWelcome ?
Depuis la merdification de CouchSurfing dans les années 2015 (et mon incapacité matérielle d’héberger) j’avais laissé tomber ce genre de choses… mais là je prends la température, voir si ça peut m’être utile pour des prochains voyages et si je peux dépanner des gens en galère.

Si tu y es aussi, ajoute-moi en ami, c’est sympa (et c’est mieux pour la confiance) :

Help Exchange Networks + Hospitality (Couchsurfing + List) 

2 things

(1) Hospitality systems / Couchsurfing etc

Free Room / No Rent systems

still good example
( almost 'died' or took a dive when they introduced pay-gate ) but still there and others try copy better like Couchers.org

(2) description below - great from just the idea
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HelpX

HelpX or "Help Exchange" is a barter platform in which people offer or receive homestays, including lodging and food, in exchange for performing a pre-agreed few hours each day or even nothing but enjoying time together.

Types of work include gardening, animal welfare, cooking, and farming, assistant, extra pair of hands among other things.

NOTE: Couchsurfing for example can be just for fun allowing people to come for a few nights / keep us company / learn new things / show them around town / meet for drinks / arrange meetups and walks ETC!...

@elston_ I mean a static page or place of reference for the result, which I guess isn't able to do / needs people to re-ask.

Can't trust anyone into who is into in a big way

CAN'T TRUST ANYONE INTO WHO IS INTO IN A BIG WAY

@amerika Sorry maybe that is sarcasm - anyway measurably "no" as it misses the whole "good" and "bad" problem (i.e. who / wht types of people and which system and if they are using good...?)

Instead of pure-profit extraction for almost more pure profit - something else more honourable... not for good or even bad sometimes - extraction to currency, monopoly, suffocating control / suffocation, killing people).

And I'm not even dramatising that- ok actually maybe I should:

on people


of next generations
on people

@freeschool

Capitalism is love. Reward the good, smite the bad, let everyone else just "be."

@elston_ Do you have a page that references that / a link to look it up?

... What is a word or phrase for when people see a "Wall of Text" and immediately try avoid / evade it without reading.

They might associate having long text as too complex or problematic so reject it by eyesight like something ugly.

Or not wanting to do any head-work. Not just "lazy" but more specific?

A kind of "reflex" or word or similar?

Growing People - growing together as primary occupation

Not just using people cold and disposing of them - what do we expect from that?

The business system of making people better / more moral (not just selling cold products and material. We improve our friends and peers more directly for better practices)

Teaching / Sharing not just with your kids mostly but TEACHING ALL OTHERS ! <---FOR THE WAY!

(all of them, adults included)

- not just using people cold but growing them

- not just your own kids only or a cold system expecting parents and kids to repeat slow discovering of things...

- not just waiting until it's too late and suffered as a result of not focussing on growing each awareness and care for each other...

BUT doing the growing / learning all the time in as many things (almost everything!)

Mastodon Backup Viewer Tool - View Your Post Archives in Browser Offline !!
🚀 Amazing - Boost 🚀

bovine.social/mastodon/

(JSON archive file to human readable HTML style page)

==================
Why this tool is needed ?
==================

⚠️ Mastodon DOES NOT HAVE it's own way to show your own posts archive OFFLINE in a HUMAN READABLE format!
(LOL!)

⚠️ YOU CANNOT MOVE YOUR MASTODON POSTS FROM ONE PUBLIC SERVER TO ANY ANOTHER!! ⚠️

⚠️ ONLY YOUR SERVER SHOWS NATIVELY THE OLD POSTS SO IG SERVER GOES, SO DOES YOUR POSTS !!! ⚠️

If you delete your profile / move / admin quits server / servers corrupts then you don't have your own posts in a way you can read!!

LOOOOOL....

What kind of micro-blogger doesn't have already a tool or format you can read yourself in the same way online? Mastodon !

Your backup (if you save it) is 1 big text file, with lines of code parameters + text of posts mixed between it all (all stuck together) - so 1 long line of code and post text, which isn't great as a backup!
No images just hyperlinks to the offline image files if you have them !! :picardfacepalm: :facepalm: :picardwtf:

⚠️ YOU ALSO *CANNOT* MOVE YOUR POSTS FROM ONE PUBLIC MASTODON-COMPATIBLE SERVER TO ANOTHER!! ⚠️

So if you ever move.... YOU CANNOT IMPORT BACK TO PUBLIC SERVER!! LOOOOOL

NO PAST POSTS IN NEW PROFILE !!!

This tool helps see them offline at least if you're going to move or lose your online server:
