@Em0nM4stodon As an immigrant we already had to do that. Twice. They take your full set of fingerprints. And pictures. Fun times (not)
@farah I'm so sorry you had to go through such invasive measures. This is wrong. Immigrants have rights and should be treated with so much more respect.
“Se vääristää helposti ajatusta laadusta. Laatu ei perustukaan koulutetun kirjastonhoitajan ammattitaitoon ja valintaan vaan automaatioon sekä sellaiseen mikä käy kaupaksi. Liikemaailman ajattelu tavallaan ui julkiseen pyhäkköön."
Just got someone in one of the biggest subreddits I'm in to try Teamtalk. Good news!
Bad news, I'm not so sure how to use it, myself. I didn't tell them that though.
So how do you create a server? I really don't know if it's so comparable to Discord.
Anybody got a zine or other handout for kids about how to wear a mask?
My kiddo has been giving colourful kn95s to other interested kids... but those kids often have no info on how to wear them properly, how to handle them safely, why bother, etc. I have printables for grown-ups but it would be rad to have something cute and easy to read for the under 10 crowd.

Y’all! I can’t with these two, my heart has melted into a puddle
Adopted them as a bonded pair, 100/10 best decision ever.
EFF is against age verification mandates, including Discord's new policy requiring face scans or IDs for full access to the platform. Here are some things to consider if you're planning to continue using Discord next month. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/so-youve-hit-age-gate-what-now
hypothetically, if i wanted to keep this area below 30 (ideally 25) during summer, how'd I go about it? theoretically there could be 50kw+ of computer in here (which is all turned into heat)
2-5kw would be pretty easy, but once it gets into 10kw territory I worry that in summer it would become a furnace
@decryption the floorplan has your address on it.

China's dictators imprison a Hong Kong journalist who dared to challenge the party line.
Hong Kong is just a suburb of Beijing now.
Ok I’m gonna try to sleep, as I am the only adult around. If you see me here again tonight, yell at me. Please.
Night night
@farah - good night, stay cozy
I've never understood the desire to talk into Mickey Mouse's shorts anyway.
Listen to the incredible keynote speech from Robert Evans.
I promise it's worth your time.
What must be done? The Battle against fascism.

I've begun to heavily invest in stocks..

One day, I hope to be a bouillonaire.
A new look at radar data for Venus obtained by NASA's Magellan spacecraft in the 1990s suggests a large underground cavity exists that was created by a lava flow, the first subsurface feature ever detected there. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/10/world/science-health/radar-underground-lava-tube-venus/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #space #satellites #venus #planets #nasa
My full AJ Forum speech last week: the common enemy of humanity is THE SYSTEM that has enabled the genocide in Palestine, including the financial capital that funds it, the algorithms that obscure it and the weapons that enable it.

Bluing?
In the US, this year’s football final, the Super Bowl, presented a half-time show with Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny.
Since the US territory of Puerto Rico has Spanish as its first language, and Bad Bunny therefore speaks Spanish, unsurprisingly his performance was in Spanish — a language spoken at home by 45 million Americans.
Or as Trump puts it: “Nobody understands a word this guy is saying”.
Largest halftime audience in history, 134 million.
Bad Bunny Beat Bozo, the culture war is over.

Obviously.
@lowqualityfacts that's true and it's pronounced Uhff'Oh.
💯!!!
I recently tried to check in for an international flight online. It asked for a picture of my passport, with a disclaimer [paraphrasing] that my passport info would be sent to a third party for processing.
That's a hard pass for me. I'd rather wait in line at the airport then have some third party I don't know about have access to my passport info
