Not only is he citing the Hebrew Bible, it SAYS IN THE LINK THAT HE POSTED THAT HE’S CITING THE HEBREW BIBLE.

Seriously, kids these days, it’s like nobody goes to Vacation Bible School anymore

DDG going hard with horseshoe theory

We’re all dumbasses from time to time, it’s all good :)

Is he crazy? There is a real danger he’s going to split the Green Party vote, and cost them the White House!!

This is him AFTER he got off drugs.

Jitsi, for sure

Good luck with it!

I have it but I have never really had much reason to use it over iphone + content blockers + DDG search.

I guess it’d be helpful for syncing bookmarks with desktops where I use firefox, but I don’t really worry about that, and as for passwords, I’ve got Bitwarden for that.

Good point.

The conclusion (no straws at all are better) makes sense, but… The Conversation can be kind of gratuitously contrarian. “WELL ACTUALLY there are forever chemicals in paper straws!” Ok, why? “Maybe because they’re in the soil where the bamboo was grown or in the paper that they were recycled out of” Ok this sounds like a “forever chemicals are fucking everywhere” problem not a “paper straws are super bad” problem.

But “oh no eco friendly is actually eco HOSTILE” is a clickbaitier take.

“Why do members of this oppressed group side with oppressors” is a perennial question, like why are there so many Republican women when Republicans generally are anti-woman…

The answer is usually something like, if you’re high on the totem pole in several ways the fact that you’re not high on the totem pole in all ways might not matter so much to you.

If you’re rich, straight, cis, and male, but not white, you get a lot out of being rich and male and straight and cis, so you may support the group that protects the interests of rich, straight, male people, even though they might not be nice to black people, the fact that you’re on the same page on so many other axes means at least they’ll usually treat you OK cause you’re one of them in so many other ways.

See also: middle class white cis straight women, or Log Cabin republicans, or whatever.

Also: poor white straight cis men.

Go with your instincts on trying Haiku and come back and tell us all what it’s like :)

Wait, they’re against right wingers now?

What’s the catch?

yes, that terrible anti-union Joe Biden, how dare he

https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/15/business/railroad-strike-averted-tentative-deal/index.html

President Joe Biden called in personally to talk to negotiators around 9 pm ET Wednesday, according to a person familiar with negotiations. Biden stressed that catastrophic harm could come to families, businesses and communities if the rail system shut down. Sources within the unions were giving Biden’s call credit for helping to get the deal completed without a strike.

“We’re very proud of what was accomplished,” said Jeremy Ferguson, president of the conductors union and one of the leaders involved in the marathon session. He thanked Biden and Labor Department officials involved in the talks for the deal.

Harsh!

Just to be clear, which firefish server did you join?

I just checked out the main server (firefish.social) and there wasn’t any transphobic content in the “Global” or “Local” section.

I’m wondering if you ended up on a really toxic right-wing fediverse instance, that happens to use Firefish as its software, and so the Firefish main site stupidly/ignorantly listed it as a possible place to sign up. If that’s the case they need to get rid of it.

Misskey is from Japan. Firefish is from some English speaker, I don’t know if they’re USian or English or what

The zero effort way to go would be to start out with a private wiki on tiddlyhost. If you decide you need to go further in self hosting it’s easy to do, but you might as well just get started without effort and make sure you enjoy using TW.

My only complaint with tiddlyhost is that when I switch computers it tends to log the old computer out and I have to re-log in.

Thank you so much for this, this is amazing

Most of mine I just move around with Syncthing and I use either the Firefox saving plugin (Timimi) or the iOS app Quine, to view/edit them.

One of them I host on Tiddlyhost, a tiddlywiki hosting service. https://tiddlyhost.com/

The modern Tiddlywiki, TW5, can be run as a node app instead of a single file. Like, you can decompose an existing single-file wiki into a node app, or you can save the node app as a single-file tiddlywiki, seamlessly. So you can just run the node app behind nginx. That leaves open the problem of privacy though – you could handle that through http basic auth in the nginx server. https://tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki%2520on%2520Node.js.html

There’s also a whiz-bang super-cool thing called “TWBob” which is a webapp which can host multiple tiddlywikis and do authenticated multi-user editing (!). I’ve used it in the past where I had a wiki I needed multiple people to be able to see and edit in real time. https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob

Do you know whether your tiddlywiki is tiddlywiki “classic” (as the original is now called) or tiddlywiki 5? That makes a difference, classic doesn’t have nearly as many options as 5.

They say it’s gut microbes though? So not very similar to Covid.
