The safest community of professionals on Mastodon being roundly mocked and/or defederated from for immediately setting off safety red flags for everyone else on Mastodon.
Great start.

The problem with saying " #WearAMask if you want" is that masks work best if the person with #COVID is wearing them. And chances are the people who don't want to wear masks are going to be the people with COVID.
I'm not a fan of mask mandates, but apparently they work. I'd settle for a concerted public health education campaign around masking and aerosols. We've never actually gotten one of those, perplexingly.

Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected them to the Internet.

@Art X They didn't even get that. Didn't try a transaction small enough. I've since frozen the card.
I woke up to a series of failed transaction notices that I didn't understand until I went out to the car.

@wing Yeah, I need a file browser so infrequently that I hadn't bothered looking into it despite knowing about it for a while.
Searching for a job with #qutebrowser and a decent #MechanicalKeyboard makes the process slightly less hateful.

At first, I thought this was the guy who wrote the Gemini network protocol. I was confused as to how they had $900M to begin with.

On November 16, Genesis halted withdrawals from its lending service shortly after the FTX collapse. Gemini, who partners with Genesis lending to power their Earn program, halted withdrawals hours later.Web3 is Going Just Great

T (capital T) for tag; use the ~d modifier for date. ~d takes a range dd/mm/yy-dd/mm/yy. Either end may be omitted, but keep the hyphen. So ~d -25/12/2022 for eveything before Christmas 2022. (yy can be yyyy)

Does anyone have any experience with #WriteFreely? I've been asked to contribute to a new #blog, and we're looking at options for hosting it. Would it support having multiple users being able to contribute to a single blog? I like the idea of being able to suggest something fedi-compatible.

I've used #WriteFreely, but there's a conundrum hosting any blog as I've just written here: https://wordsmith.social/underlap/bring-back-blogging
Bring Back Blogging
I'm sympathetic to the idea behind Bring Back Blogging, even though I find there's more inertia to writing a blog post than posting, say, on Mastodon.
But it's tricky to know what to do about hosting.
I potentially could host my own blog, but then I'd have the costs associated with a hosting service and renting a domain name. I'd be responsible for regularly upgrading the operating system and blogging software to avoid security exposures. If I wanted to split the cost of hosting with others, I'd have to provide them with some kind of support. Also, when I eventually stop hosting, my posts and those of anyone else sharing the service would cease to exist, so any important posts would need to be moved elsewhere first. Finally, if I hosted my own blog, that could be the thin end of the wedge and I'd be tempted to host my own Mastodon instance, etc.
The alternative to hosting my own blog is to use a commercial blogging site such as Blogger (which I used regularly over seven years ago), Medium, or WordPress. But I find the commercial aspect of these a little distasteful. Unless I paid to use them, and possibly even if I did pay, my writing would be exploited by these platforms by subjecting my readers to advertisements, promotions, or other visual clutter.
For now, I'll stick with wordsmith.social and try to find out who pays for it and whether I can contribute to their costs.

curl already supports many protocols (not just HTTP/HTTPS), including Gopher. There's no reason I can see that it shouldn't support Gemini in the future.According to @A6BDBF57_57B731E9, it already supports Minus too because all Minus URLs can be translated into Gopher URLs. (Minus is Gopher stripped down to the minimum, but with hyperlinks and some Markdown-style formatting.)

If this year taught us anything, it's that:
1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers.
3) Poverty is a policy choice.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.
I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

the graph never said the profits should trickel down to workers from corpos, only raise tax revenues that the gov't should then give to workers somehow. But the GOP who preach such approach also preach less taxes for the corpos

@karlmorant but something tells me if businesses spend all profits on wages they go broke. As there means of production, the maintenance is costly. Even if Russians didn't bomb anything with Kh-101 missiles lately
@me why? That was only plan to add some radar baloons to NORAD, and at the moment the US are defenseless against tons of Kh-101 missiles, with nukes. Even one that passed is enough
@V the Saint 💙🧡❤️🖤 I'm talking about the supposed risk of corporations going bankrupt by spending all their profits on wages.
This *might* be a risk for small businesses, but the big corporations will be absolutely fine.

I can see only one solution of giving workers all profits, is that they buy all stocks in such company. Because companies like that have shareholders, investors usually

I love how the admin had a "racism will not be tolerated" post pinned on their profile, but the server itself had the TLDs of several countries blocked.
enjoy that five hours, i can tell they'll be quite peaceful. Who knows what is coming afterwards?

Been poking at my #Haskell #Gemini framework. This issue caused me to shelve it a while back. It's not the end of the world if I don't get it resolved, though.

I suspect the problem may have been an issue with the upstream
tls library. I've updated it to a more current version. I've also made some changes to make my original solution less hacky. When I get a chance to test it properly, I'll put in a PR (assuming it works).Jonathan Lamothe reshared this.

I'm finally giving #qutebrowser a try. Taking a little getting used to, but I think I like it so far.
We'll see what happens when I leave the fedi and have to contend with ads.
