Right! Trying to be way more conscious of where and how I spend my money. Can’t be perfect but it’s worth trying.

Right! Trying to be way more conscious of where and how I spend my money. Can’t be perfect but it’s worth trying.
Just cancelled HBO Max. Made sure to make it very clear Ellison is the reason I cancelled and that I won’t watch anything he’s involved with. On the bright side, it’s easier to not watch entire platforms than to figure out which production companies were involved.
Thanks! I’ll get it to you in the morning. Perfect timing seeing your post. The calc was the first thing I started building for the page I was going to create to do what you’ve already done way better way better than I would have.
Sean, I built a calculator that lets authors put in their subscribers and prices. Then it calculates what the their net income is at Substack, beehiiv, and Ghost. I also have scripts to scrape them plus stripe for pricing. Needs a little tweaking but id be happy to share it.
This nightmare of a tv system sounds like a great platform to test out universal remotes on. If we ask @reckless.bsky.social nicely, do you think he’ll let you get a SofaBaton remote to test and write about?
Just last week, you voted to confirm Aaron Peterson to a lifetime judgeship after he refused to acknowledge who won the 2020 election. You’re helping Trump more than you’re trying to stop him.
@ghost.org is a cool one dedicated to making open source software for publishing newsletters. Their founder is @johnonolan.bsky.social. It kind of sounds exactly like what you’re looking for.
What are you going to do about it @durbin.senate.gov? Every opportunity you’ve had so far, you’ve folded. We don’t want words. We want action. We need you to step up and lead. If you don’t want to, then get out of the way and let someone who will take your place.

I’m also looking to interview both independent journalists that are writing newsletters (on any platform) and people that subscribe to newsletters. Looking to get a basic understanding of perspectives to build a tool that benefits the public and journalists alike.
This site was only supposed to be for developing and testing API tools for a project I‘m working on related to Ghost. Guess I’m going to start posting the letters I write to elected officials though now too.

Welp, I’ve officially entered the “writing state level republican reps begging them to please do anything about Trump’s Greenland obsession before he destroys our ability to have any meaningful allies for the rest of our lifetimes” stage of my life. Didn’t have that one on my bingo card.
Why do you continue to work with an administration that does this @durbin.senate.gov? Your sole job should be trying to stop every single thing they try to do.
We also had an issue with the docking station firmware. As soon as we updated that, things were much better. Would probably have to get IT to check for that though as well.
Hopefully one of those will work. Those are typically my go to options when the other things you’ve tried don’t work.
Yea, work laptop makes that a lot more fun… The docking station could be another sticking point. Sometimes they need to be power cycled. We probably get a ticket a week where that does the trick. Ours reset better if we unplug the power supply from the docking station instead of from the wall.
Parts though. The registry controls basically everything and changing things in the wrong spot can break a lot of things. I just like to double/triple check before touching things in there.
Rachel, if this is Windows10/11, I‘ve had good luck clearing the display cache to fix similar issues with external displays. This site has pretty straightforward instructions: droidwin.com/how-to-delet...
You’ll want to be careful and only delete the Configuration, Connectivity, and ScaleFactors
Why are the Illinois State Police & local police protecting a facility that doesn’t give people adequate access to food, water, bedding, clothing, hygiene, medicine, religion, or legal representation @annecaprara.bsky.social and @govpritzker.illinois.gov? They should be protecting human rights!
@durbin.senate.gov - There is a time when supporting a friend in need turns to enabling. Voting for this without significant formal changes to the way the majority is conducting business is enabling kidnappings by secret police, inhumane detention conditions, & troops on streets. Do Not Budge!
Marisa, I’m working on a proof of concept along these lines. The Indy Ski Pass has been good for independent ski areas. I believe that model can be adapted to independent journalism. Ghost and Beehiiv both offer good starting points for integrations. Id love to get your opinion on some ideas.
2nd what @viss.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy suggested with making a copy and then working on the copy. After that, I’ve had good luck with TestDisk and PhotoRec before. Setup can be a bit involved but the guides are pretty good.
I’ve been browsing some of their documentation lately. I haven’t used it yet but this is the guide they have for Patreon migrations. ghost.org/resources/pa...
Why are we arguing about who sent messages at what times instead of leading with the fact that NWS no longer had a “warning coordination meteorologist” because of Trump and Musk cuts. The person whose job it would be to provide context and coordinate with local agencies doesn’t work at NWS anymore.
This is what democracy looks like! Springfield,IL
What we just watched from the Oval Office was wrong and shameful. Putin invaded Ukraine. The US should be leading the defense of democracy around the world not siding with a dictator. I just called my representative and encourage everyone to do the same.
Anyone know how we can get Microsoft to post the MSFT365status updates on here?
