Happy , today I deployed a #Forgejo instance to manage my private code projects. I won't be using #Github anymore for my stuff, only to contribute to 3rd party projects.
I still have some pending work to configure the CI workers, but I'll leave that for next week.
Along the way I've learnt some stuff about #OpenTofu and networking. Enough to know that I still prefer to be on the dev side of the "devops" .

I know #Pixelfed doesn't support muting hashtags on the server side.
Are there any clients that support muting in the client?

David Brooks: "What’s Happening Is Not Normal. America Needs an Uprising That Is Not Normal"
- -
It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power."

It will take a concerted effort by every sector of our society to respond to Trumpism’s threat.

True story time, from about 8 years ago.
After work, I joined few co-workers for happy hour. I had 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks, then cut myself off and drank soda rest of the night, for many reasons including I wanted to be 100% sober to drive home.
One guy was rude, insisted I keep drinking, said I was ruining the fun.
Kids, be your own person. Be stubborn. Don't let someone pressure you into doing something you don't want to do. No means no.

"It is fair to say that Microsoft spent at least the first five years of its history in relative obscurity. The first appearance of the name “Microsoft” on the pages of Byte was a short mention of their BASIC interpreter in an advertising on page 47 of the May 1977 issue. In contrast, page 34 of the same issue included an article about the Apple II by Steve Wozniak. The Woz and Gary Kildall were the biggest stars of the microcomputer industry at the end of the 1970s."

Two years ago at #CSUN I learned about what became my favorite browser extension, BeeLine Reader. I've been a subscriber ever since.
It's easy to set up on desktop, but has been some struggle to get working on Android. But this week I discovered it works with Microsoft's Edge Canary mobile browser, which has experimental support for extensions. Instructions are here:

On the same day I signed an initial IEP plan, I find out the US Dept of Education has cut half its staff.
Fuck POTUS47 and anyone that voted for him. And fuck any #ProgressivesForTrump that didn't have the maturity to vote for a better future. There's a million ways we will suffer for your single-minded refusal to see the future. You think people will "try harder&quo…

Anyone noticed how the characters in the Alien movies (the ones about Rippley) got progressively dumber as new chapters were released?
Don't remember it? Try to watch them in a row, it's astonishing. It's a good "exercise" because them being part of the same series makes it much easier to make comparisons.
I'd say that's what makes a big difference between the first one and the rest, not the plot in itself, but how idiotic are the characters after the first chapter.
