So what we just experienced is WHY people talking of cutting or changing or charging for weather predictions, monitoring, and alerts are absolute goddamn idiots.

In today's episode of "look, copyright exists primarily so rich people can fuck over other rich people, and sometimes fuck over normal people too", @dnalounge shares some insights into the rights mafia you have to pay off to just have music playing in your club.

Much like insurance companies,these orgs should be illegal but here we are.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.

Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

I REALLY don't want to join #Bluesky and love it here on the fedi. But people keep telling me I just won't find enough people here to follow and engage with.

If you love #linux #WebDevelopment #php or #elixir #elixirlang #phoenixframework drop a comment here and retoot so I can follow you.

I really love the community here and want to find my people. :)

do you selfhost your fediverse (activitypub) instance?

YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT TO HAVE STRENGTH TO GRIND YOUR ENEMIES' BONES TO DUST.

I picked up a nice four probe wireless thermometer today. The big advantage is a long-range base station with an actual display and controls that work without a phone app. I tried to connect their phone app to the actual device and it wanted me to set up an online account.

No.

Let me make this real fucking clear: THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD REASON THE INTERNAL TRMPERATURE OF THE TURKEY IN MY OVEN NEEDS TO BE SHARED WITH A SERVER OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. NONE FUCKING WHATSOEVER.

"What harm is there if...?"

Wrong answer. This information is not relevant to anyone but me. Not every moment of my life, not every data point around me needs to go beyond my property line. This telemetry does not need to exist and it's taken for granted that it should by people who do not act in my interest.

*My WiFi goes out again*

Those fucking sharks again I swear.

You say you got negative thoughts in your head that are living rent-free?

What are you, stupid?

If them thoughts can't pay rent, then hand their custody over to "Bob". He will finagle and besnooker those thoughts until they're so busy arguing with each other that they won't have time to deal with you.

Don't beat yourself up -- let "Bob" beat you up!

@blogdiva Thank you.
Thanks so much for ALL your "will become public domain January 1st" postings. I'm putting them on the calendar. Fats Waller, Popeye, Steinbeck and Hemingway top the search list.
