Call me a dreamer if you must, but it would be really helpful if some of you in the tech press would pen an article that is much less about the X.wars, and more about how the fediverse is about far more than just Mastodon, and promises a new era of web openness allowing folks access to a whole new world of apps, integrations, diversity, and maybe even a little common decency for good measure.

My neighbor the contractor (and fishing boat captain) assures me his friend will be by today to install my new split air conditioner for just “3 to 4 hundred.” In fishing tours dollars, that feels like it’s gonna be more like 5 or 6 hundred. Oh well, at least it will be for 18,000 BTUs at 230 volts. I am promised meat locker temperatures in here. image

It’s only going to be 90° today in South Florida, the Google lady tells me. This is great news. I may strap on the shoes, grab some poles, and venture outside for the 2nd time in a week. image

I’ve always been a single malt drinker, but it’s surprising how smoothy-good a round of Johnny Walker can taste when you’ve been away from it for a while.

I’d argue that it’s guaranteed to get worse. Voting is the preferred method of change as a first resort. But it could be national suicide to assume it’s our only or last resort. Source: @npub1h0dl...qs5p image

Just tested it. You can throw away those crappy pill cutters that always make a mess. This design is perfect. It has a template for every popular pill shape. Drop your oblong pill in the right template, and bang! Perfectly centered cut. Cheap, too. Worth every penny. #Design #Healthcare #pillcutters image

I hope Mitch McConnell isn't having a stroke, in much the same way that I hope I never win the Powerball lottery. image

I understand, but for some reason, not every developer sees it through that same lens. Perhaps this explains it? image

Watching episodes of the first Justified series on Hulu is sort of like that old Lay's potato chip ad. You just can't watch only one.

I bet Airbnb will be listing cots and sleeping bags for rent in Fulton County next March. I wonder how many people can fit in that county?

Sorry if this clashes with your most cherished beliefs, but whenever I'm on mobile I try; I really try. But social media without quoted posts is like talking with one lip tied behind my back.

Full disclosure, @karoli is one my dearest and most trusted friends. And in case you didn’t know, she’s an extremely credentialed expert at spotting bullshit on the Internet. Source: @npub1wjhl...6adp image
