🍄🌞🦎

you wake up.

you're still a lizard sunning on a red rock. it was all a dream

the concept of selling "feet pics" to pay back "student loans" is already losing its meaning as you open and lick your own eyeballs to moisten them

time to eat a bug.

Hello New Site

I've been working on divorcing myself from FB and finally hit the point of Oh Fuck It. So now I'm here.

I'm a queer indie author (nonbinary aro/ace) who writes books (SF, Fantasy, Mystery, mostly) and does watercolor and sewing as hobbies.

To say that I'm avoiding looking at the news right now is putting it mildly.

You can find me on Dreamwidth, on Pillowfort and on Mastodon as well.

All my books are available DRM-free from most sites. Still working on getting my website set up for direct sales but hopefully I'll manage that this year. *knocks on wood*

Anyway, I'm hopeful that this won't be misery the way FB has been for literal years.

*waves*

So the bottleneck in the job processing queue is outside the server where you host the pixelfed code for pixelfed.social? Other than using mastodon and only doing light reading on the fediverse, I am completely new to the decentralized architecture

EDIT: my bad, I thought you (@rudd) were hosting pixelfed.social ... maybe I need to join your pixelfed.

Any chance they'll reduce the excise tax while they're at it?

FDA moves to cut nicotine from cigarettes, in plan first floated under Trump

It will be up to the returning Trump administration to decide whether to finalize the rule.

I am new here on Friendica, as are many of you. But has anyone found a way to limit the content I see about fascist politics? I do want to keep informed, but I don't want to see a deluge of this stressful stuff. Where's the fun stuff?

Hi! I'm new here as well; I think the answer is making a channel from nice tags, like “Asstodon” and “Mondog” and viewing that instead of the raw, unfiltered sewa... feed. Another alternative is using saved searches.

Emigrating from facebook

Facebook has been an annoyance for quite some time. Though their recent censorship has gotten to extreme levels and I no longer feel I can be part of facebook or anything Meta. I am hoping to connect to friends here and make some new ones. I blogged on this topic earlier.

Little Drone, Big Damage - Drone that bent this wing weighed less than half a pound


Photos of the internal damage caused by a drone strike on the wing of a CL-415 waterbomber in California 10 days ago show that even tiny drones pack a punch. The drone, pieces of which were recovered from inside the wing, has been identified as weighing less than half a pound. The impact over Pacific Palisades bent the front of a rib and a horizontal leading edge member, and the water-scooping amphib required significant repairs.

Deactivate and uninstall

I don't trust #meta will delete my #facebook or #instagram or #threads data when I delete my accounts. Until i figure out what to do long term, these are the steps I've taken:

* uninstalled facebook, messenger, and threads apps (kept ig initially)
* made sure my meta account is not linked to fb or ig (I have an oculus quest that is useless without a meta account and I have not decided what I will do about that)
* changed my name to something ridiculous on facebook
* changed my username to someone else (breaks the url I was associated with)
* disconnected from all apps and cleared history and fucked with anything else I could in the facebook settings
* started manually deleting media, posts, and comments (not sure if i will continue this since it's probably pointless)
* disconnected from all apps and cleared history and fucked with anything else I could in the instagram settings and then deactivated it
* uninstalled instagram

What have you done so far and what else are you planning? There is lots more to do.

I think the big one is making sure any and all settings which disallow sharing between companies and across services are active. Facebook will hoard data anyway, but we do what we can... And I think it's more important not using Facebook than deleting the account; they live from ad impressions, not the sum of active and inactive users.

Meta is probably moving it's servers and all it's backups into the FBI data center or giving the a FBI a back door into them (if they don't already have one). Just kidding, well not really.

Getting Through The Day

Despite my resolution to keep the bad stuff out of my head this time around, too much has already leaked in. Not so easy to see the end of all we worked, sacrificed and struggled to accomplish.

But life goes on. The fragrance of roasted millet. The sparkle of sun on the snow. The laughing, little girl, wielding a pink snow shovel, fighting back against efforts to clear the sidewalk.

Perhaps you need to check the settings "Settings" → "Account" → "Security and privacy" → {"Publish your profile in local site directory?", "Allow your profile to be searchable globally?"}? (I haven't tested this at all myself, just a (probably misguided) attempt at being helpful. 😀

the main panel depicts a crudly drawn super mutant behind a prohibition 🚫 mark, with the words "NO Mutants Allowed" circling it , next to that the phrase "the G.E.C.K. is a lie" is written virtually such that it capstone the right edge of the panel.
central panel description: a red commonwealth flag of 13 stars on a circle, with 5 atripes pointing down. The phrase " I Feel Fine' written in an exaggerated cursive script. A compressed and misaligned vault tech logo consisting of a circle with a central dot flanked to the 2'o'clock and 8'o'clock-ish by three lines. A red Legion Bull. A red and black H&H tools diamond, a Nuka-Cola logo writen in bad cursive, a very blocky and small RobCo insignia in the bottom left corner, a Red Rocket Gasoline medallion, and underneath that the phrase "drop chess not boms" perpusly misspelled . A dark streak of shoe polish clutters the bottom right side of the panel. To the right back up top is a large Enclave insignia , showing the three part wing beind the circle and the three bars of the center arm of the E, underneath that another panel displays a very aggressively sketched in anarchy A inside a circle, to the right of that the phrase "The Toaster Told Me To!" written such that it looks it's skewed diagonally, all of that above the phrase "Fight Apathy, or Don't...."
This panel depicts the iconic vault-boy with the caption "vault life's great! " as well as insignia for the followers of the apocalypse, the NCR Rangers with additional tag "NCR PROUD" and an insignia for a homemade group of the mechanics.

New to here
Found Friendica from a post on Mastodon. I’ve been off X for a year and tried Bsky but got lots of trolls and women with no posts or biogs who all shared youth and large appurtenances. Still on Facebook due to friends and groups but highly restricted. And yes young ladies also want to be friends there. I joined my first political party at age 71, the Lib Dem’s. They are not perfect but they have some amazingly talented MPs.

It is pretty automatic, a Mastodon user can follow a Friendica user, and vice versa. The problem is, this server is currently bogged down, so the flow out from here to the rest of the Fediverse is severely delayed. I have a Mastodon account where I follow this account (to figure out how this works in practice), and stuff I posted this Saturday still hasn't appeared. (I'm new here as well, so not speaking for the admins or anything like that, just sharing my experience.)

Thanks for sharing.

I've made some progress. I've followed my Mastodon and Diaspora* accounts here and found that for Diaspora* following only works from Friendica to Diaspora* and can't be done the other way round.

I'm also working through setting up my own Friendica server. I've just managed to log in with my admin account so I'll see how that goes!
