@bigzaphod I tested myself today leaving the water on and failed 2 times after testing myself (in similar light to this post).

I left the water on (1st time by mistake) and then 2nd and 3rd time for 'training' / testing but I did it again... just shows it's hard / impossible even when you try multi-tasking and for me and but be doing good but too into something else to be able to see what isn't working (the users mainly and almost the only thing to work on after Mastodon is invented)... emotions and all !

Fix the users perspective (more often), fix the world !

is when or more or accepting warts and all...

"Computers are overrated, people are underrated." 

"Computers are overrated, people are underrated."

- @philip

My kind of quote but who is listening to us if I may group myself as try mostly / only to grow people AND THEN maybe computing... (NOT THE OTHER WAY and growing as priority #100 on the list)

"growing computing only"
vs "actually growing people as priority" ?

Anyone else have this perspective?

Your own instance on The ?

+ ❓ If anyone can help me setup my own instance or has their own personal instance to setup my own account (temporarily to move my posts / outbox.json file) then let me know... and boost please! :boost: 🚀

( because *you can't import Mastodon anywhere publicly!!*... but only to a self-owned instance or similar! )


but can't

@lamp How long you think power lasts in theory / Calculated the consumption ?

(So if left on all the time how long it would give light?)

@snooks Could say the same somewhat for using online things / users of things...

(I said recently that users are the weak point and lack of people doing the 1-to-1 or mass education to literally upgrade people (grow them properly) is what I mean by lacking or weak just for the context about my remark- although it's less about money now)

If money, storage space, practicality, common sense, and many other things weren’t factors, I -not a superfluous vehicle type of person, generally- would love to have one of these stashed in the garage for the three or four days a year where it’d be possible to use it. Just tooling along at a leisurely pace, possibly towing 60 to 80 kids and their adults behind on makeshift cardboard sleds as they each in turn latch onto a line one of them somehow affixed to the back

Well folks I've had my mind changed. I had said that I would wait and see on federating with Threads but after reading this excellent article (erinkissane.com/untangling-thr) its clear that Meta is unwilling to moderate their content and should be suspended. Previously I thought the issue was allow users to opt-out of their data being seen by Meta but Threads is allowing real harm to occur we simply shouldn't network with them.

If you're a pdx.social user and feel otherwise please DM me.

@freeformz What's the power consumption per min or 30mins or per hour would you say approx?

Me, realizing I’ve used Apache (the http server) for ~25 years and nginx for ~15 years and I really dislike both of them.

The whole treating of peaceful protestors as criminals is fucked up.

Also adding cops to almost any protest seems to greatly increase the chance of violence.

@tedder Actually looks like the step broke your fall so it was less of a slap or back strain and more of a slide at the last moments of contact... How was it feeling as far as landing goes at the time and any pain after?

🚨 I'm looking for a person or group to take over the running of pdx.social. I've been running the site since 2017 and I'd like to pass it on. If you're interested please reach out and please boost. 🚨

@freeformz @tedder @foozmeat I’d be in to lend a hand as well. Many hands make light work and all.

Browser only RSS / No-App + Privacy-minded vs. extensions

vs. FeedBro

QUESTION + MINI-REVIEW

===========
❓ QUESTION ❓
===========
Considering both software were the same functionally, then I guess you'd take the non-extension one right?... if the implementation wasn't too offending in non-extension version?

=================
Pétrolette RSS reader -
petrolette.space/
=================
­█1/­█ I like the idea you can visit one website to get what you want without extensions (Any bare-bones browser lets you use the RSS reader)
AND
­█2/­█ work / settings are saved *in the browser* !

I like these two, mostly because of how industry can rug-pull whenever they decide (or put money into it) to render any browser useless / near-extinct or at least it's extensions by switching the extensions standard, calling it unsafe or some other way to glitch it all or say no to what is amazing and they want locked out so that some work and some don't...

Something about that basic browser window makes it "browser proof" and falls into "longevity" rather than "oh this was amazing 2 years ago and now they changed it"

=================
Feedbro extension:
nodetics.com/feedbro/
=================
Didn't use yet but will get round to it... or just trust it's as simple or good as advertised (for now)...

The picture they use (also used for this post) is extreme compelling how strong and well RSS can work...

Alex Jones - a good actor - occasionally good points within whole context often being wrong... 

Alex Jones- more convinced he's an actor (and good one) after he managed to shake hands in court with those he said were pretending about their reactions to their children in the massacre (or something close to that with Sandy Hook trial). Takes some nerve.

He can switch it on and off really well which is key to being a good presenter or actor. Even maybe we all do this in real life (at work, school, home, all acts or personalities we sort-of must learn to present or must fit inside) unless you let the truth be show more often....

PICTURE I EDITED
So I did a picture edit from video, in honour of that (sort of)...
