Primary ALL OF THEM!

I’m not holding my breath for Fresno CA voting for someone more progressive than Costa. I’m kind of surprised that the Dems are actually holding on to that seat.

Sure, but it’s a public benefit company.

I use both. Unfortunately, normal people still seem to struggle with instances / servers, which keeps masto’s user base lower. I’m not surprised Bsky is growing much faster these days. Too many people get confused during masto’s sign up / sign in flow. Ditto for Lemmy.

The new app is called Phoenix, and it is a Bluesky client that is expected to launch in the summer of 2025

Where we’re really going is, a year, year and a half from now, is when you come to Digg, it’s going to be very much more like the leap that happened to Figma, where it’s free form, it’s dynamic, it’s an interface that is unlike any other that you’ve seen,” says Rose. “It’s not your old-school forums

Umm. Figma’s UI is exactly something people saw before. It’s aggressively based on Sketch’s UI.

Figma blew up because it was free for non-enterprise use, had Invision-style prototyping built-in, it was a more performant than Sketch, and they were adding features faster than Sketch could.

And FigJam is just a Miro / Mural clone. But that is also very performant, and they had some silly features / plugins that made work fun.

This author should’ve spent digging into the iPhone 12 / 13 mini, and how it was received in Apple communities a few years ago.

That experiment really showed that the small phone demographic is passionate and vocal, but small (no pun intended). Those phones sold well when the small-phone-fans ran out to buy them, but the sales numbers cooled off quick.

Given that Apple is working on a lightweight 17 “air” phone, my guess is that they learned screen size is too important for too many people, but they’re going to see if they can strike a middle ground with weight / pocket fit.

Reminder, it’s pledge week for many public radio stations / NPR affiliates.

DONATE

Give whatever you can. This is the time to actually give. These poor journalists are having to pay for legal counsel with a shoe string budget.

Also worth noting, a lot of public radio stations / NPR affiliates are doing their winter public pledge drives right now, and money will help them fund off defunding and legal attacks from the Trump administration.

If you like what little good journalism we have left in America. Donate.

He’s tried to fist fight the cops several times, so that’s a very real possibility.

The good news is that this guy is probably going to self-destruct. He’s constantly getting in trouble with the law.

I’d still call and ask if they could knock on his door. Keep “discouraging” him until he gets it.

Have other neighbors also call in and ask for help.

Yeah, I’ve got one of those selfish MAGA nuts living behind me. Dude lives in a house that was rebuilt after a firestorm burned 95% of the neighborhood to the ground, and he lived here during that rebuilding period.

A few 4th of July’s ago he was firing illegal mortars off his balcony and shooting firearms into the air. He was doing this once an hour for 12 hours before the cops hauled him away.

I stupidly asked him to stop because of fire risk and the fact that our pets were going nuts. He proceeded to try to fight me while yelling about freedom and other stupid MAGA shit.

He lives on the top of the hill in our neighborhood. So if he starts a fire, his place is almost sure to go. Fire runs up. He’s a fucking moron.

Report the guy to the cops or fire department if you can. Have multiple neighbors do it.

I thought it was going to be Russian.

A poor economy weakens the president. Especially one that claims so much ownership over it.

For real. Most Americans have probably never even participated in a “buy nothing” day, much less a pocket book protest against a government.

I don’t see what’s wrong with starting with one day, letting people get used to the concept, then dialing up the frequency once word of mouth has spread.

Got to start somewhere. Start small, send the message, get the word out, then dial up frequency and reach.

The man told Asio interviewers he did not view Israel as a foreign government and that he would share classified information with the Israel Defense Forces if they asked for it.

It also kind of makes sense to leave the name in place since the world has been calling it the “Gulf of Mexico” mid-1500s. The original name was in reference to the Aztecs.

Self-designed. Self-made is a stretch. It doesn’t look like they’re opening a foundry.

Bad news is that we’re still not setup for Reddit-level user counts. Lemmy needs much better moderation tools to allow communities to stay on top of reports.

Hopefully a lot of new users will also produce new people contributing to Lemmy. Or, maybe some people will form some sort of nonprofit that allows dedicated designers and engineers to continually work on Lemmy. When people contribute as a side gig, most give up after a few months. Most of the Lemmy clients that were build during the Reddit APIocalypse are no longer alive.

I wish we had some sort of way to incentivize dividend payouts, not just massive growth and stock numbers that go up.
