Today is Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
150,000+ Indigenous children suffered great harm at residential schools in Canada.
Residential schools were established with the purpose of erasing Indigenous cultures, spirituality, and languages.
Students lived in substandard conditions and endured physical, emotional, and sometimes sexual, abuse. One in twenty-five Indigenous children died while attending residential schools.

So with Cohost shutting down in about 24 hours, a note to every remaining social media site: You should totally rip off the "Following" pane.
Cohost had a view where (as alternative to the normal linear feed), it showed everyone you follow, sorted by last post, and you could click to see recent posts. A problem with social media is the more you post, the more space you take up. Cohost "Following" made everyone take up the same amount of space, while still prioritizing recency. A nice compromise

#PostOfTheWeek (season 1):
Darwin’s Natural Pet Products responded with an update on the situation:
“Darwin’s is confident our meals are safe. As we’ve also shared with our customers, we commissioned independent, third-party testing using conventional methods, which found that all lots tested negative for listeria,” said Gary Tashjian, CEO and founder of Darwin’s Natural Pet Products.
Argh! Why is @Nextcloud 📱☁️💻 not telling me that there's a new version out? I'm on 29 and it's telling me it's up to date.
Maybe it's a PHP thing because I'm still on 8.2.20, but that should be supported.
This definitely looks like an instant buy for me, look at all that #ChronoTrigger inspiration!

Dear CLI utility writers (*cough* nmcli *cough*) that assume a terminal width larger than 80 columns,
Could you just... NOT, please?
Use two lines per entry if you have to, pad it out, abbreviate something, I don't care. Just don't put important details after the 80th column, please! 😢
(I standardize on 80 columns because that's what old terminals used, and I'm doing more than one thing at a time, always. Thank you =)

I actually don't think the commands should care about or respect your terminal width any more than it does your terminal height. `less` and similar can provide horizontal scrolling if necessary. And, it quite annoys me when I tool builds in a pager rather than using $PAGER from my environment.
That said, for reasons completely unrelated to terminal width, line/field lengths do need to be controlled. Otherwise human eye tracking stops working well.
So it looks like I'm tied to Android for the time being (unless I want to go to iOS). Otherwise, I can't fully access my bank accounts.

Without fail, every time I boost a post about discrimination on the fedi, I end up seeing a bunch of white guys trying trying to minimize it and telling the original poster why they're wrong and/or being unreasonable.
I'm getting the impression that just maybe the people complaining about this aren't making it up or something.
Weird, right?

Friends, I have a strange ask. Search engines are useless now so I'm hoping someone will know what I'm talking about.
When I was in undergrad, we read a study about drug use in rats. The researchers found that rats can get addicted to drugs, and when you stick a rat in a cage with no community, they almost always get addicted. But when you give them a little rat society with friends and fun stuff to do, some use recreationally but almost none become dependent.
What study was this??

Hi, I was forced to quit my job about a month ago now due to being forced to move by my partners anti-lgbt parents.
We moved to a much more rural area out of necessity unfortunyately job prospects are not looking so great out here.
They effectively kicked us out because they did not approve of what their church teaches them about "homosexual relationships" like the one i have with my transfem partner....
Both my partner and myself have cut down on a lot of our expenses and we desperately need assistance to help pay for a 3+ hour trip to the specialty clinic my partner goes to for her medical needs. Gas is expensive and I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide even if it's only boosting this post.

Advantages of right to repair. You can take your device apart to check what has been added along the supply chain.
Right to repair is now a security issue.

This is an excellent point,
though I doubt that anyone has ever derived much happiness from suing the Mossad.
What I meant was:
Technically speaking, you can always take apart and inspect a device in your possession. But e.g. sharing information about it publicly might get you sued by the OEM.
This is something that private individuals and companies worry about, but not intelligence agencies.

A while ago on a whim, I did a somewhat deep dive into the abacus. I thought it would be interesting to learn about a device that is sometimes credited as an ancestor of the modern computer.
I've come to be of the opinion that it's not really a fair comparison though. An abacus is not a computer... at least not a full-fledged computer. It doesn't compute anything. Your brain does that. I think it is fair however to compare it to memory, though.
An abacus is essentially an array of memory cells. Instead of storing bytes, it stores digits, but that's a trivial distinction. You even have to allocate those memory cells to accommodate the structure of the data you are operating on, just like you would with the memory in a computer.
