yep they’re all in bed together and so shady! have you been by the “dog park”? what a joke. also did you hear the city manager is claiming he didn’t see the email warning them they need to use the 1 mil in homeless funding or lose it? he had responded to it the same day. they have no intention of actually helping the unhoused, clearly.

oh ya I voted for Teresa. anyway, cool to see a neighbor on here!

I think we live in the same city, one that recently awarded 40k a nonprofit who in turn is giving it to a shady org to sweep the camps. This is the first local election where I feel super strongly about the candidates, mostly because of the cartoonish hijinks going on.

this is why diversity initiatives are important. a team of all white dudes is gonna have some blind spots

I have a Samsung as well. It’s quite old and in order to print I have to:

1. press print
2. wait for it to try and fail
3. turn it off and then on
4. press print again
5. push the paper in right as it’s trying to grab (otherwise it won’t grab any).

If I don’t follow all these steps it won’t print. I bought a 2 pack of toner, though, so I am not allowed to get a new one until I use it all, which will take forever since I rarely print because it’s such a pain.

I wish I had one of these to cancel the fireworks in my neighborhood that have been going off all week into the night

Oh yea I remember looking at some sort of spreadsheet of instances that had stats like users and uptime and stuff to pick one.

“Well, even if Threads abandoned ActivityPub down the line, where we would end up is exactly where we are now. XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon”

Didn’t all those pundits say only tech nerds can figure Mastodon out?

Threads got 2 mil signups in 2 hours…

For real. I remember when I quit Facebook I stopped getting invited to things because people would just make FB events and call it good. Like close friends wouldn’t even realize I didn’t know about an event. Even now there’s an outdoor events group I wanted to join but they only organize on Facebook and I don’t want to make an account.
