In the US deaths were going down until maybe ten years ago, then they started going up again. Covid provided a brief pause in car death increases.

Now that (most of) society has rejected obvious authoritarianism, authoritarians need to wear grey sweats and jog up the stairs to the Philadelphia Museum of Art like Rocky to demonstrate that they are 'just like you and me', because otherwise they would look a lot like most of our modern fiction's villains...

I was thinking of using public domain theater play scripts (something like https://www.gutenberg.org/files/59112/59112-h/59112-h.htm ) and turning them into chatroom content. Anyone already has a tool like that? Ideas how to do it easily?

Now I don't know how to test that with my XMPP client... (especially as I don't have MAM implemented yet...)
I've had crushes on straight AND gay friends, and simply felt bad for a while that they were unavailable, and was able to move on with my life and still kept being friends with them for *years*.

It's about mental health. Being able to fix your gadgets is therapeutic. Empowering. Good for the soul.
In a world full of complex technology it's easy to feel small and helpless. And maybe I'm too much of an idealist, but I think that if everyone could experience the joy of fixing or modifying a gadget now and then we'd all be a little more open minded, a little more daring. A little harder to push around.

I follow you for tech, not politics
Every now and then, someone brings up Brave as a browser. And when they do, I point out to them that Brave founder Brandon Eich is a homophobe who contributed to prop 8 in CA to ban gay marriage, and an anti-masking, anti-science, covid-minimizer.gomakethings.com

He is a lovely man called Mandip who is very kind and can never do enough to help if you're nice to him.
Again, his name is Mandip. Man-dip. It's not even difficult to pronounce.

- 11 million Americans are bisexual. That's more people than the entire state of Georgia.
- 3.6 million Americans are gay. That's more than the entire state of Utah.
- 2.6 million Americans are lesbian. That's more people than every single farmer in the country.
- and 1.6 million of us are transgender. That's TWICE as many as there are cops in the entire United States.
When people say "we shouldn't change our entire society just to pander to such a small percentage of it", that's obviously a really dumb argument from just an ethical stance. But it's also a really dishonest one. Because they would never say the same thing about veterans, farmers, cops, or the populations of entire States.

I lived through the “this site requires and/or is best in IE” era, and I’d rather burn it all down than return to that.
Pro-tip: Firefox does most things better anyway. Give it a spin and enjoy a less-tracked web.

I started using it and it works like you'd expect. Yes, decentralised. But if Mastodon and Friendica have the same messaging functionality, I don't see the point of another account.

Oh, you can change my name but not my gender marker? You need me to come back in with the form you specifically told me you didn't need last time? None of the departments can agree on whose job it is to change my name in the system? That's fine. I'm fine.

(It was actually IT's fault: HR had already changed my name, but a computer bug stopped it from propagating to the entire system.)
