With enough patience it turns out you *can* pull the helicopter up to the gas station and refill your tank without blowing up!

it appears as though i'll be resorting to the chocolate soy-milk to accommodate my cereal this morning.




In Germany, individuals and groups calling out genocide or advocating for Palestinian rights can expect funding cuts, surveillance, criminalization, and police brutality.

I'm just the right kind of petty that I'm replacing all of the #Mapillary tags in my town with #Panoramax.

I've always hated supporting Meta.

Bad things


Not posting much on politics anymore. I am running out of words to explain that fascism is bad and if something is bad we should not do it and not doing something means that consequences of bad things will be less likely.

When you find where that nut was suppose to go 4 months after finding it on the ground....


Hello my fellow #Fediverse #StarTrek fans.

Jeri Ryan, Robert Picardo, and LeVar Burton recently joined Bluesky. I've sent them a message to see if they would use the Bluesky bridge.

@George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽 is also there, but he also posts here in the Fediverse.

I am able to follow them from my Friendica server, but I wanted to let yall know in case you would be interested in adding the bridge to your account. I know how some people feel about it, but this message isn't for you.

From our side you would follow @Bridgy Fed for Bluesky

There are 2 Star Trek actors on my Mastodon server but I doubt they are still active...

That is a shame. There used to be a few in the Fediverse but aside from Takei, they stopped posting.





Bluesky addon


I have enabled the Bluesky addon on Friendica.world

I have tested (connected this account to @friendicaworld.bsky.social) which seems to work. My posts arrive on Bluesky.

So far, I have 2 findings:
- I couldn't yet get it to work when using a self-hosted PDS (I host bskysocial.world)
- I also couldn't get the friendica.world domain to work yet.
I see that it tries to go to ruud.friendica.world/.well-kno… so I enabled wildcard subdomains. That worked, but now there's no content in .well-known/atproto-did so I need to figure out how to get that there.

To be continued...

Has the setting been disabled now? I still have the users, but the setting is not in Social Networks, like it is on my Venera.Social account. Thanks!



New OSM tool (to me):

sb12.github.io/OSMStreetLight

It is an easy way to see where lights are already mapped, and what still needs to be covered. I do believe MapComplete has one as well.

Correct: our street light map is here: mapcomplete.org/street_lightin…?

Feel free to tag us on your future posts!

Nice to see the illuminated run and taxiways at Stuttgart Airport. Never expected this mapped





Thinking more about my GURPS campaigns, they could use a couple more suitcase nukes to liven things up. Especially my Dungeon Fantasy campaign.

It would be easy - stat up a world/dimension-hopping chronoterrorist with a penchant for nuking random places in random eras. Make the terrorist completely batshit so I don't have to come up with a plausible motive for doing so.

Georgie's Anecdotes
Normally, I cook for myself. But when my parents have something interesting, they offer it to me.
Me. "I think I'll finish those egg noodles. They should still be good, right? When did you give them to me?"
Mom. "Two days ago. You don't remember."
"No. I don't remember the days of food, just that it was good." (starts singing, parodying The Twelve Days of Christmas) "On the first day of November, my mother fed to me... I don't remember, but I know it was very good."
Both of us laugh.
Me. "I've been watching too much theatre."
Mom praised me, but I forget her exact words.

There really must be a way to filter posts and ignore conversations here and/or via Tweesecake. I honestly don't care who uses what platform. If Mastodon, Blue Sky, Twitter, Facebook, Friendica, or some yet unknown service works for you, use it. Why should it even matter, other than to help new users who are transitioning to these sorts of sites? I certainly received wonderful help when I first came to Friendica last month from Facebook. But I wouldn't put anyone down for using some other site. It's just great that those of us in the Fediverse can all communicate with each other. AT least, those on Friendica can do so across many platforms. I'm not sure how it works with the others. In my case, I moved from Facebook due to their eliminating their Basic Mobile site (not app), and I found some lovely people here.
