@janbartosik Yeah. It's mostly about bringing my passwords/2FA codes into my own hands. (And 2FA in Bitwarden costs extra ;))
This photo is from camping a few years back—one of the major out-of-control fires in our area is burning there. 😢
We're into day 2 of >40 C (100 F), in catastrophic fire risk for another day at least.
Ready to evacuate if the wind turns in our direction. 😬
@hildabast hoping you won't need to evacuate your house. stay safe.
All I ever promised you is that I wouldn't lie to you.
I kept that promise and I knew I could. That's why it was the only one I made.
Wildlife managers spent weeks unsuccessfully searching for a grizzly bear in British Columbia that had injured 11 schoolchildren.

Niemand arbeitet so hart wie meine Heizung.
@ichbinjazz Heizung? Was ist das fuer ein Hexenwerk?
Yes!
We love to see how people have configured their Vivaldi.
"The European nation's rules of engagement requires soldiers to “immediately” counter-attack invading forces without awaiting orders. On Wednesday, Denmark's defence ministry confirmed the existence of the 1952 rule and added that it "remains in force".
The US lost big time in the jungles of Vietnam and in the deserts of Afghanistan, it's high time they complete the collection by getting their asses handed to them in icy Greenland

One of the best things about the Fediverse is that it’s easy to hide posts with certain hash tags. This is far more valuable than content warnings. People put a content warning on things they know other people might want to see, but they put hashtags on things for discovery. Don’t put hashtags and the only people who will see a post are your followers and anyone who follows someone who boosts it. Do put a hashtag and anyone following that hashtag will see it. This means that there are incentives to put hashtags on posts. And so the filtering is keyed to metadata that people are incentivised to provide.
I think maybe it's a version of this??

This should be a legal requirement for being allowed to sell networked devices.

If you're in Melbourne and tomorrow is #BinDay, you should definitely put your bins out tonight. Garbage trucks will be starting early AF tomorrow, I predict...
@deutrino GIMP will never get fixed. The people who use it are people who love steep learning curves, they won't ever perceive the issue.
They don't realise steep learning curves are huge lifetime black holes. "Everything is free if your time has no value" it's the open source mantra.
I'm 100% against it. Open source should be from the outset funded. You can defend open source and ensure it gets paid. You can even check directly with the devs and ask how their funding is going and donate accordingly.
