Did you know @Unilever is only "making a better world" for their investors NOT the planet? Their use of "sustainable" #palmoil destroys #rainforests causing #extinction. Fight back and #BoycottPalmOil 🌴🪔🔥☠️ #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2021/02/…


Just think, there are enough vacant homes in the U.S. that every homeless person could have multiple vacation homes, just like the billionaires do... except for the fact that those vacant homes are owned by those billionaires and deliberately kept vacant.

Not to bother, but out of curiosity are all comments manually approved, or just new comments for #X posts?

@Jeffool all accounts under a certain amount of posts go through comments approval for a set period

I don't want to over interpret the data, but it actually looks as if the trend to Linux is accelerating. Let's see if the end of life of Windows 10 will give an additional boost.

I really like goldenrod — its big plumes and bright colors, and the way it sways gently in the breeze. Beezels on teasels are fun, too. 🌾🐝

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) will shut down operations after losing federal funding due to a $9 billion funding cut passed by the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives. The CPB, created in 1967, distributed funding to NPR, PBS, and over 1,500 local public radio and television stations.

It's now pretty clear they lied, but deferring to "standards based on the rule of law" in this context is utter bs. What law?
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

in games who cares what is in it. Heck I see girls play with the big boobs all the time and they don't mind I have seen some that don't like it, but there are other options normally. No one should be allowed to decide what we can and can't buy in games it's our decision.

When I co-created Serving Up Science with the wonderful people at WKAR, we never imagined the reach our little show about #food and #science would have. We connected with classrooms, rural towns, big cities, and curious minds across the country - all because of public media. 1/2

@Bwacton They’re all at pbs.org/show/serving-science/ and also on YouTube so videos should still be easy to find for a while


i feel sorry for all the people who lived through the era of non-standard QWERTY layouts.

you spend a week typing on your dad's Silicon Logistics eQuill+ and get used to pressing SHIFT and SYMBOL LOCK to convert the percent key to a hash symbol. then you get home to your Perry & Samson Electro-Mechanical TypeScribe and whoops, your muscle memory kicks in when you try to type a hash! you've actually just pressed ALT and SUPER to turn the ½ key into a less than or equal to symbol! time to get out the correctional fluid and move the carriage back one character, which is achieved by pressing a key labelled something obtuse like "CRG. REV."!

Switch 2, sure, but -- have you plugged a tiny piano into a Nintendo DS and used some powerful homebrew software and custom scripts to make a handheld experimental music instrument?

A little-known Nintendo DS piano peripheral meets homebrew sound:

#PhoneTrack is great. I have been using it as described, on my server, for more than a year. It took me some time to quite understand how the various settings influence the granularity of the tracking, but I have arrived at a setup that is pretty much what the tracker on Google Maps can do--but without Google involved. Sharing with others (on the same server) also works well. Replacing the PhoneTrack Android app is also quite possible if desired. I have arrived on a mostly-working self-written app for this, feeding into the #Nextcloud backend.

Good. It was literally quicker to open YouTube and search for "<game title> trailer" on the older player. And don't get me started on the mobile experience...
