Shork is in their late 20s, working in software development in Germany. They move data around for corporations – “it’s not as fun as it sounds,” they wryly tell me. Shork likes video games – particularly retro games on old consoles....

New life growing in the cracks of an old piece of driftwood on the beach: Early Meadow-Rue (Thalictrum dioicum).
@quixoticgeek @vfrmedia Ah, there's an answer to that - an app which is supposed to work for all local authority parking across the country.

Adding another pre-season W 😁
The Mont Megantic trip is so close! I'm stressed because we haven't gone over every bit of logistics. My friend's car broke down and may or may not be all fixed in time, if it isn't we'll have to borrow my mother's car and hope it's safe to drive (apparently the brakes need to be done, but they don't need to be done DESPERATELY). I need to make sure I have clean/not dusty from storage toques, gloves, and sweaters, because it's likely to be cold at night, and on the peaks, too. Need to figure out food! So many things.
I love this, so I

My mum used to say "stop picking your nose or your head will cave in". Well mum, I finally picked a hole from one nostril into the other. It makes a whistling sound. Bleeds a lot too. I'm 52 and should have listened to mum.
WTF. Did you not get the memo, Jeffries? We want fighters, not conciliators. There is no working with fascists. Fascists are to be fought.

Good to know.
What you really need to be doing is upping the manufacture & production of said vital equipment, both for Ukraine and the rest of Europe. The US can no longer be considered an ally, its supplies are being squandered in the Gulf, and if Ukraine is allowed to fall then we’re all targets.
Europe needs to be ready & able to defend itself.
Hello @ArdentArchivist, we are doing this through SAFE, which is all about joint procurement and supporting the European defence industry. Ukraine is a participating member. You can read more about it here: https://link.europa.eu/8X6vBw
@vfrmedia @TimWardCam the fact that an app is needed to park a car is really fucking annoying. I hate it. What do people do if they don't have free space on their phone for another app ?
Esp when the apps are all just a website wrapper anyway.

@NatGrayYes What’s the opposite of the favourite button.
It is entirely conceivable to me that ATProto “wins” the technical battle, Mastodon “wins” its ideological battle, and most users end up back on X, Threads, or Instagram.
There’s this anti-social quality to it all that is truly poetic. And horrible.
@mattiem I loathe "us vs. them" discussions between atproto and AP and wish there was more convergence between the two ecosystems.
Also, we can't change the nature of things - ATProto is a US-centric-ex-Facebook-sort-of-engineering (and the marketing of it) and ActivityPub comes from semantic-web-humans-bring-their-own-adventure culture which makes them ideologically incompatible. Only active roadmap and culture work on both sides can bring them closer but it may be too late
