Yes!

And it's not just money. Imagine trying to use a smartphone if you had Parkinson's, or age-related macular degeneration, or mild cognitive impairment. Imagine using one if you lived with an abusive partner who demanded your Pin and punished anything he saw and didn't like. Imagine needing to get rid of your smartphone to help beat your online gambling addiction, and then finding you were locked out of modern society.

We think too easily of new and shiny things, and we forget the people who don't fit the mould, who get left to fend for themselves.

@lonseidman That sucks. Man, they can't just re-weld it?

@CartyBoston awesome. I saw your toot about the surgery and scrolled madly to see one from today.

@alexisbushnell For what it is worth, I crashed out of A-levels (plus the OU as a mature) for similar reasons. Unless you are 100% and have someone beside you to coach through the academic game, it is difficult to make progress.

I can now log in via the HTML UI... kind of. The error handling is trash, but the login appears to work.

Time for a nap.

@lowqualityfacts not every square is hip.

@Linkshaender letztendlich habe ich nicht das geschafft, was ich schaffen wollte, aber dafuer eine andere Baustelle unverhofft beseitigt.

Ich sehe das positiv 😎

What is happening in Minneapolis stands in contrast to the idea of Trumpism’s irresistible power.

It should be a reminder: Being lawless, immoral, and violent does not make the Trumpists omnipotent. Obscuring that distinction is an act of defeatism that only serves the regime.

@Mastodon Open sign-ups? Won't we just get spam from more servers? (Most of our reports are of mastodon.social accounts for this reason).

One of these kittens is about to knock the other off the cat tree...

Can you guess which one?

@medicineman9 jap, war die letzte brauchbare Version @pop_os_official

They could, theoretically, ramp up oppression dramatically in the face of popular discontent. But the Trumpists do not have the apparatus to do that on a national scale. And such a strategy also has inherent limits: The regime still needs millions to comply in order to keep the machine going.

Jail #ICE -- criminal gangs in tRump's uniforms❗️

Ante la ilegalidad absoluta y vigilancia masiva de ICE y CBP, la EFF declara una crisis de derechos civiles. Es imperativo que el Congreso actúe esta semana rechazando cualquier nuevo financiamiento para estas agencias.

Your help needed: amplify the 2018 paranormal erotic thriller novel "Melania: Devourer of Men" so it ranks higher than her movie.

It depicts the First Lady as a sexual monster and is rocketing up Amazon’s sales charts.

A Reddit-led campaign to disrupt the Amazon search results for “Melania” is behind the sudden spike in popularity of the eight year old book.

@BlackAzizAnansi heh, I get broken phones from my brother in laws family and fix screens/batteries. We just retired an iPhone X that has become weirdly flaky so I guess that’s 9 years? Software plays into it too though.
