Jesus. How much of the class argues that they’re valid claims?

I’m late to some parties. I enabled the Window’s Link to my phone long ago, but didn’t use it much. But now I have, and it really transforms SMS messing into a decent chat. I’m running it in its own browser. Always in sync with my phone, with notifications from multiple Window’s sources. Useful.
All my life, while people were pretty shitty to me, mechanical devices, and my body, always functioned pretty well. I was lucky. Then, around 2013, everything went to shit and it’s been one fail after another. But my shine is back, baby! The new AC/split Is humming, my new PC is purring, Dell is relacing my laptop SSD drive under warranty, and now a cheap HDMI adapter replacement saved a very expensive 27” monitor. Life is good again. For now. Fuck Trump.
This post gives important context to mine (and Jeff’s).

Hey educators. Are students already suspicious that they're more successful peers are just better at concealing their chat AI skills? Give us the skinny from the trenches.

Sitting here with nothing but pain to do, I decided to watch some reality TV to see what I'd been missing for years. So I tried to show called Southern Charm/2018. My jaw hit the floor. What kind of mindless simp enjoys watching this level of mindlessness? It's all just barely below-average people (generously) using the most pedestrian language, engaging badly over issues and grievances expressed with endless TV cliches, platitudes, and smug attitudes. No wonder MAGAs are taking over! Scary.

Leave it to the always awful Jake Tapper to let Nikki Haley Gish-Gallop through her litany of overbaked observations, stupid partisan blithering, and really bad ideas. But at least she isn't Vivek Ramaswindle. So there's that.

It's not optimism. Just imagination, and a reluctance to think that how things are is no excuse to not try and make them what they could be. Little has been tried, so I don't like indulging notion that not much is possible. Anytime anyone flocks to something there's a mass appeal that can generate serious revenue. Maybe linking to those things more creatively can help monetize deeper news efforts? We don't need new journalism models. We need new business models for journalism.
I'm sure they're lovely people at barbecues, but Amara Walker and Victor Blackwell have to be two of the dullest Cable News hosts in the history of dull cable news. Perhaps if CNN would wake up and realize this, they'd do better than 350,000 viewers on a weekend. Are all television programming executives just mindless twats like Chris Licht who stumble-climbed their way to the top, just so they could take the rest of us plunging through the bottom?
By your own admissions, many of you talented programmers are not as good at pinpointing needs, marketing, or promoting your output. I'm good at motivating people to do cool stuff for fun, satisfaction, and/or profit. If you'd like to talk about projects (of yours or mine) that can help the fediverse or humanity move forward, I'd love to talk about how we could work together. So please DM me. Until surgery pain lifts, I've got plenty of time to talk. (I prefer chatting by Matrix or signal.)
nostr:npub1h3t28gelg2xc4j8zjulj7jz62j5cernn0aga9srvy8w9qeqwxmtsnldkep "Activity Pub" is the name of the Internet protocol that enables the fediverse to share messages between servers using different kinds of software that all support the protocol. That's why Mastodon messages can be exchange with Pixelfed or Firefish users, and vice versa. If your app speaks the protocol, it can at least potentially communicate with every other app that does. The concept is what makes decentralized social media fundamentally different from what has come before.
