A reminder that all the aspects of our economic system are made up and we can have a better system if we wanted to.
Homelessness for example. We could have an economy that builds homes for homeless people.
It does not have to be this way.

How to make adjustable baggy trousers (Gentle Living Shop)
We recently bought a horse trailer from a neighbour and today was the first day we successfully herded all the goats into it (lured with a bin of apples), drove the goats to a different part of the farm in the trailer, set up the electronet fence and portable solar fence energizer, and let them eat all day.
I won't declare victory quite yet because I have to retrieve the goats successfully back to their barn (will try after dinner) , but so far it's looking good!

@sundogplanets your photos of goats eating apples always cheer me up. Goats always seem a little goofy to begin with, but 100x eating apples!
The most important thing I learned in my 20s is that being smart doesn't make you special. Eventually you need to learn to try hard and to enjoy learning to do things you're not immediately good at. It turns out that the people who didn't learn this lesson were reading Harry Potter fanfic.
Personally, I think that talent is dangerously overappreciated. The fact that we still appreciate talent over ethical concerns is one of the very reasons why our world is how it currently is. Specifically, assuming that talent is somehow unique, unreplaceable, and worth all the problematic issues with a person because the alternative is somehow murdering all chance of future progress.
I once lived in an old warehouse and one of the makeshift flats had a toilet and bathtub in the kitchen, only seperated by a curtain.
It was cool when drinking wine in that kitchen. Conversations just went on when someone had to pee.
Fireside Fedi Panel (Very Low Quality Recording)
anybody got recs for high-quality sticker vendors?
my current vendor had some quality issues with the last batch I ordered, enough that I am considering switching.
i saw a post floating around recently that assessed some vendors but did not bookmark :(
things I need
- die cut vinyl
- holo and clear
- ideally split backs for ease of taking paper off
lower pricing of course preferred
US vendors pls
i use Sticky Brand. quality is good. to get good pricing sign up for their emails. it’s a lot, but i always buy through their email
deals to save a bunch

I think the mistake was made years and years ago when he went to join the Republicans but mistakenly signed up for the Democrats, and he's been too embarrassed to fess up to the error ever since.

@astrid good Kitty! Hope the recovery is smooth

Hmmmm, good news and bad news today.
Good news, my new keyboard arrived. (I'm a RedDragon Trundle guy, wired and mechanical and surprisingly cheap, cuz I spend 5 months a year in an outdoor office, and I smoke, and you need a new keyboard every year.)
Bad news, my new keyboard arrived. (I have promised, once that happens, to try to bring these three unused computers back to life and begin moving to a *nix for my household.)
@GeePawHill I want to move my own laptop to Ubuntu. I always want to play with Linux things anyway. Why mess with an OS and VM that gets in the way?

I should make a list of FOSS apps, projects, and services that have Fediverse accounts and don't code with AI, then strike them from the list with a big ELIMINATED notice if they do start drinking the slop kool-aid.
It doesn't have any “eliminated” notices, but… https://codeberg.org/brib/slopfree-software-index
