"We are going to keep the prices up, so those who didn't work very hard can't afford them, but we are going to make it easier to buy a home." What in the actual fuck?!

Thanks! I am trying to figure out how to replicate it on it. Cheers!

Hey, @benborgers.com, good day! I truly like your photos.ben.page. By chance, have you dabbled with something similar on Hugo (gohugo.io)?

The Washington Post Fired Me β€” But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America β€” and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Thread incoming.

You know how broken our political system is when a man who’s clearly deranged holds the highest office and the people who could remove him from that office continue to support him with gusto.

Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

Most ad ridden publications only provide small teasers on their feeds, though. I click through on those too, but ad blockersβ€”well, ad blockers, always.

Ah! Will watch those. Glad to connect through here, mate, I had started to worry something had happened to you.

My blog is in almost similar state, but my short notes one gets used daily. The new found joy of talking to the void is very appealing! πŸ˜„

@scjessey.bsky.social looking forward to read longer posts from you at your website! How’s that coming along?

Don’t meant it nitpick, but PoE2 is only early access. Game isn’t releasing until next year. πŸ™ˆ

It has nothing to do with being Venezuelan, or whatever has happened to your country. It just so happens to be that a psychopath, which happens to be from Venezuela (but quite irrelevant), murdered someone. That’s the point.

I, for one, love your monochromatic garden!

This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.

Only way to fix it is for either of usβ€”it doesn’t matter whoβ€”to stop sharing, and start sharing again. That has happened to me with three different people, and to three different people, with others (not me).

Is anyone using iOS 18+ experiencing something similar? I have sent feedback to Apple.

Even since upgrading to iOS 18, and every once in a while, the location of someone sharing with me gets frozen in time. I see them, but their location doesn’t change for hours. In the case of family share, I can see their device up-to-date, under β€œDevices”, but they show frozen on the β€œPeople” tab.

I share my location from my iPhone using β€œFind My” app with friends and family. I also have a family share, with immediate family.

Apple Perform 575. I come from a very poor country, so there are no photos available for the Soviet machines I used around 1986-1987.

I am trying to set one up, and I am getting the same β€œinvalid handle”. What was your fix, could you share?

This makes sense, yes. Thanks for the input!

Oh, I run weaknotes.com. It is not Mastodon, but a Mastodon API compatible AP. You can find me on the same instance as @david@weaknotes.com, or @david@collantes.us, or @david@collantes.social. All those go to the same account.

Thanks for the reply Nick. I am on Vultr too. They seem to have gotten rid of the β€œregular cloud compute”, haven’t they? My currently maxed out VPS is of that kind, but can’t find it on new instance creation anymore.

I feel like I have more control with ActivityPub. Trying to make a decision. πŸ˜…

Still around here? Any comments on your experience installing the PDS? Any special requirements? Is it possible to increase the post length when self hosting?

You handle is showing as β€œinvalid handle”, did you know?

Who is running a BlueSky PDS around here? Wanting to know your thoughts about it. Why to chose it instead of running an ActivityPub server?

I am going to save the six Bluesky invitation codes I have left. Who knows, maybe they become collector’s items! πŸ˜…

Bluesky client has gotten quite better in the last 8-9 months. Maybe it just got better on the last update, but I can’t tell for sure; I have been away.
