@ismh Carrot might have something nasty to say about this statement.
@aliettedb I’ve had a few people recommend me your books. If I were to start with one, would you recommend this one, Fireheart tiger or other?

Corey Doctorow: "Mastodon is far from perfect. But I only have so many hours in the day, and only so many days left in my life. I would much rather spend those precious hours making a open service better than using a temporarily superior closed one. I have seen that movie. I know how it ends"

Happy people can't be monetized, this is why billionaires and tech companies need to keep you unhappy, angry, or scared. Resist. Be happy.

I started educating myself to use Salesforce’s CRM to manage part of our nonprofit. It’s insane the amount of things one can do with that! I know most of the stuff I could do it with a custom database (MySQL, FileMaker or Panorama), but it’s great to have all the tools ready to be used already.

I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don’t want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn’t show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?

To understand Musk's renewed obsession with X and focus on financial services, you REALLY need to understand the X/Confinity merger that became PayPal.
And, particularly, the Peter Thiel-led coup that kicked Musk out as CEO/Chief Strategist.
Here's how that happened. 1/

Pay $84/year for a chance to win thousands of dollars. This business model sounds familiar but I can’t quite put my finger on it?

A damaging #tornado has impacted densely populated portions of the #Milan metro, specifically Cernusco sul Naviglio, #Lombardy, NW Italy about 2 hours ago.

Stop blaming strikes for economic damage. Strikes are a logical response to overreach and greed from corporations and the wealthy. If there is resulting economic damage, look to those who drove the workers to strike in the first instance.

the people who kept telling us that movie piracy is a serious crime don't actually seem all that interested in paying people for making movies.
@trinsec Totally agree. It’s just the best. “Every power you cast gives you +2 lightning, all lightning hits all enemies, now fry them to death”. And if you need to kill a big guy, the attack that hits with 7 for every lightning orb you had. Bwahaha
@trinsec One of the best things of the game is how different all characters play. Using the Watcher makes it a completely different game. And as much as I like the watcher, the Defect is specially fun if you manage to get a deck full of Powers and the lightning combos.
