I'm not much of a Starbucks person. I find they lean too hard on sugar to make their drinks palatable, which isn't great if you're diabetic.
That said, #today our niece (a Starbucks connoisseur) introduced us to matcha. I think I finally have a go-to drink when Katy wants to go there.
Edit: It has been brought to my attention that their matcha mix contains sugar. 🙁

I’m thinking of some type of ActivityPub Etsy, that isn’t its own ActivityPub service, but aggregates stores from opt-in ActivityPub users via hashtags.
This isn’t fully thought out, and I’m just the idea guy (and my mom is in the hospital, so I just wanted to put it out there before I forget it). So here goes.
🧵
Jonathan Lamothe reshared this.
Ok so an online store has their own website or even Etsy store. Doesn’t matter. They have their own Mastodon account. Could be other Fedi apps, but we’ll simplify. They periodically post their products to Mastodon using a certain hashtag.
There’s an aggregator store site (not sure if itself is decentralized, still thinking on that). The store also sets up an account there and links it with verification tags. They can customize their storefront. But posting comes from Fedi.
The aggregator then collects all posts with the hashtag, and posts it to their storefront as products/listings.
A shopper can search for specific products on the aggregator, or browse for recent posts to the hashtag. They can favorite stores, favorite products/posts, and eventually click through to the store’s own website (or third party of their choice like Etsy) to complete an order.
🧵
Spam and rule-breaking can be handled on the Mastodon side like it is now, or through a reporting feature on the aggregator side, which can have its own rules. For instance, a specific ActivityPub account can have their hashtag blocked so they can still post but won’t be aggregated.
🧵
It shouldn’t be limited to handmade crafts, but should be limited maybe somehow by retailer type or size, to avoid major corporate dilution. I’m not sure how to police that. Small biz selling manufactured products seems ok.
Buyers can keep a collection of their favorite online shops, a wishlist, a bit of convenience to ween us off of Amazon. And search there first for our next purchases, before bopping off to google or AMZ. Combined with an ActivityPub-compatible website/blog, or could allow individual product listings in addition to posts.
I got the idea when I saw an Everett, WA tea retailer posting about the existence of their store as a reply to someone else that I might have missed. I had to chance upon it, and had no way to search for it. Now it’s bookmarked, but will I find it again?
I want to support small businesses, but right now it’s overwhelming unless I’m in the right place at the right time.
Take it and run.
End 🧵
ESTY has rss feed capabilities which means any ESTY store's RSS feed could be populated by a rss to mastodon bot, which there are many already.
Someone would need to curate what stores and or products are posted via the ESTY rss feed and do so unlisted. https://rss.app/rss-feed/etsy-rss-feed

Sask. government's 'Parents' Bill of Rights' becomes law
The third and final reading of Saskatchewan's "Parent's Bill of Rights" passed Friday morning, a bill requiring parental consent if a youth under the age of 16 wants to be referred by a different pronoun or name at school.Drew Postey (CTV News)
Isaac Kuo likes this.
How unfortunate! I was born in Saskatchewan, but we left there when I was 10 months old. The sadly ironic thing is lack of trust such laws engender for children and their parents. If a 15 year old with a healthy relationship with their parent informs or asks for a pronoun change why would we (i.e. the government) want to step in? If the relationship is unhealthy it is not likely a law will remedy the situation.
And ultimately it is very likely the issue is one of some adults being uncomfortable with a shift in society. I'm in my 50s and processing that too. However, as my daughter (she's 20) suggests, just ask: What are your pronouns?
Take care, -Randy (He/Him/His)

I boosted your post on bsky. To me it seems like Bluesky is turning out to be the real Twitter replacement, in the sense that it's turning out to be the same thing, little by little.
Also communication between people is kinda shallow, not as superficial and pointless as Threads but still.
despite having a BSKY and the app installed, the link opens in my browser which asks me to login
I love the cloud app this is definitely a serious contender to Birdsite 😀))))))))
I'm curious.
With the page not visible to the public, how does Mastodon represent what appears to be a snippet of text from the page?
Although just because nazi sites will likely get blocked from most servers, doesn't really stop them from existing :\
This is why I don't want us to simply be a place for twits to run to when Elon pisses them off again.
Most decent people have already left the site., and I'd rather have steady quality growth rather than an influx of shitty users.
We've already had one fed project ruined by trying to catch everyone running from reddit. (well and the creator was a piece of shit to begin with.)
Thank god for corporate filters. Lets never federate with them.
and anything remaining of birdchan is obsessed with a plushie octopus popular with autistic people.
My reaction is "I want a blue octopus too" because its adorable.
It seems like many people on Bluesky foam angrily at the mouth when Mastodon comes up. It's the stuffy place they don't want to be. It breaks our heart a little.
We've been here since 2019 and it's mostly been enjoyable. We've learned so much more about open source and the people who stayed after Muskrat bought the birdsite have been a boon.
We never found Mastodon to be difficult to use, it just requires a bit more patience at times.

Shantell, I just saw your post. I hope you’re feeling better & you recover completely.
I’ve never stopped 😷 either. It’s not perfect, but 😷 & vaccination are the best we can do individually. My partner and I are both high risk as well. So far we’ve been lucky. We are getting flu + COVID #6 on Friday. It’s frustrating because our public health communication has really let us down; we’re more vulnerable now because too many people think it’s either gone now, or not dangerous. 🫤

Any #Plan9 gurus on the fedi?
I've managed to break my profile causing me to be unable to connect to my account. It disconnects me upon running the profile script. drawterm -c is not an option because it executes the profile disconnecting me before even running the command. drawterm -G's a no-go as well.
Is there a way I can mount my remote home directory into my local (Debian 12) filesystem so that I can fix the profile without running rcpu?
Greg A. Woods likes this.
@moody
From the man page:
The command to run can be passed with -c cmd ..., otherwise an interactive shell is started. The user's profile is run before the command with $service set to cpu to allow further customization of the environment (see rc(1) for more information).
Problem is that the profile is executed before the command is run, so it boots me before even running the command. This is why I was trying to see if I could remote mount the filesystem to get around this.

I really wish it had some sort of automatic dependency management, but what can you expect from a language that old?
When the bootcamp is over, I actually want to get into writing software for Plan9, because despite being very C-centric, it seems a nice system to develop for.
Edit: autocorrupt
I figured out the issue, it was somehow related to the ordering of passing the -l flags to cc (ugh!), if you pull the latest code from sr.ht it should build fine on debian stable now. You will need both libssl-dev and pkg-config. I've added debian to the CI builds for this now so this shouldn't slip by again without me noticing. Thanks for the bug report.
Plan 9 C thankfully has none of this insanity, as you've noticed.
./tlsclient -u jlamothe -h 9p.sdf.org -a 9p.sdf.org -p 17019 rm /usr/jlamothe/lib/profile...but my profile still seems to exist. It's giving me the same error about line 7 when I connect using drawterm.
Cool, so now you can do something like:
tlsclient -R -h 9p.sdf.org -a 9p.sdf.org rc -i
Then edit profile with either ed or sam -d.
@moody oh my god, I have a prompt!

*Driving home from running some errands.*
Me: Hmm... thats strange. That cop is following me from awfully far back. I wonder what that's about.
Katy: Do you think he's running our plates?
Me: You'd think he'd get closer to read it, but still it seems fishy.
*I pull into a lane that people normally use for turning right, but I need it because the entrance to my parking lot is coming up.*
Me: Ah, the cop's signalling that he's turning right. I was just being paranoid.
*After I clear the intersection, the signal goes off and the turn is aborted.*
Me: Yup... we're being followed. We weren't speeding. Do you think we have a tail light out or something?
*I pull into the parking lot. The lights come on and the cop pulls in behind me.*
Turns out our tags were expired. You don't have to pay for them, but you *do* have to click on some things to renew them for some reason that I still don't understand. Historically we've always gotten a notice in the mail, but not so this time around. Fortunately, I got off with a warning, would've been a $495 ticket otherwise.
If you're an Ontario resident, maybe check on that if you haven't.
