A big grab bag of news, that ties into the question of ‘Where Does Community Live?’

This was an insightful read. Thanks!

God dammit! No, Wells. You complicit fuck.

You don’t have to show both points of view when one is about intentionally harming and intimidating the country under the guise of dealing with immigration. You don’t need to give their point of view the implicit agreement that it’s a point of view that deserves to be shown or accepted.

They must… THEY MUST. Just like how in Game of Thrones they had that one storyline that made you truly sympathize and understand Joffrey Baratheon’s motivations. It really brought all of that show together showing him in a positive and supportive light.

Thanks! Previously I had looked for a way to import settings and was unable to find it so that held me up, but I got all my comms imported so I’m gonna give piefed.zip a try as my new instance ☺️

Username is slightly different now, it was probably time for it to change

Thank you! I really appreciate the help ☺️

Hope you have a lovely day blaze!

I am, hope you too!

Oh :)

Once per day a request is made all instances to retrieve the list of their admins. If that request fails then they’re flagged as ‘dormant’. If dormant for 5 days, flagged as ‘gone forever’ and then PieFed doesn’t try to federate with them again and all their communities have that warning on them.

Hello all,

I gave a weird question. I follow many chefs on Facebook and save loads of recipes but they are difficult to find later and even more difficult to organize and use later. How do you deal with this?

I use Gourmand on desktop and Tournat on Android. Most feature rich recipe apps

I’ve been using the recipe add on for nextcloud, it works fine for me. I also have no idea if it works with facebook. It can load a recipe from a URL, but I don’t think facebook lets you look at things without logging in so it probably wouldn’t work.

Yep. I got an email from them yesterday. My lil box is going from just under 4 USD to 5 USD per month.

Yes but the RSS feed for non-subscribers is just the announcement of the post. I still have to go to the site to read the whole newsletter, which is fine.

They will probably sell the terrestrial CBS network to comply with anti-trust law.

Closing down high cost programs was always part of the process of fattening up CBS to sell it.

Yeah, Apple TV seems to have the best shows to pirate nowadays.

‘Looks like a nice pile of upper body workout!

Enough to make a trebuchet.

I spent several years at home in social isolation before I got my first job. I photograph people for documents (and do a few other things), and it can be unbearable. Some people genuinely have no idea what they look like, they’re often upset by their photos, and sometimes it turns into aggression towards me. One man was surprised by the asymmetrical shape of his chin and started shouting, “Do you really think I look like that?!” And what can I say to that? “You really do”? I just get nervous and try to find the words while he continues to talk rudely to me, as if I’d deliberately set the camera to distort his chin.

Then a woman brings her teenage daughter in for a passport photo, and they start arguing and yelling at each other about whether it’s better for her to have her hair down or not, and the girl doesn’t like any of the photos and can’t even explain what’s wrong, so we have to take several more, and they get increasingly irritated and start accusing me of that her cheeks too big and I should have told her to suck them in or position the camera somehow so her cheeks weren’t visible, or some other nonsense, like I’m a fucking wizard. I have a hard time dealing with situations like that, I often start mumbling and shaking, but it only seems to irritate them more, and they speak to me even more rudely, and then they just throw money on my table in annoyance and leave, and I sit there and try to compose myself for another half hour. I’ve been brought to tears several times already. Some of them are insanely arrogant and rude people.
One woman sent me a link to some documents to print, but the link had expired, I showed it to her and asked for a new link, she said her son had sent the link and that it worked on her phone, I showed her again that the link wasn’t working and that it had probably just expired, but she kept insisting that it worked on her phone. I told her I couldn’t print anything for her, and she said, “what if I call your employer?” lmao. I had to take her fucking phone and call her son to send a new fucking link. And there were a lot of similar moments. It’s not uncommon for them to claim that I said something I didn’t say or didn’t do what they asked, and so on. I’ve cried so many times because of this job, and I think I’m starting to hate and fear people more and more, but I’m not sure I can find a better job where I live.

And so you self-justify dehumanizing an entire region and subculture, not at all like those savage Israelis or conservatives, who see only their ingroups and outgroups.

They have their in group. I just have me. My priority is self-defense from predatory in group behavior. And sometimes I just like to vent, they don’t listen to or care about my existence as anything other than their personal punching bag. Sorry if that bothers you.

I know I’m replying to a two year old comment, but who cares.

I’ve had a Motorola Milestone (Motorola Droid in the US) in 2009 and I got an internet enabled plan immediately.

It was very expensive and capped at 200 Megabytes per month, so I only really used it for basic web browsing. Fucking loved that phone, though. I played through a few GBA games on an emulator, with the keyboard it worked great.

I’ve had spotify back then, but I never streamed anything, because of the data cap.
