Smashed avo anyone?


23/10/16 - This was posted at the height of the avo scare, where young people's inability to afford a mortgage was attributed to their love of smashed avo on toast.

Avocados are one of those things that I buy and 'save' until their mouldy. I can't seem to break out of this behaviour pattern.

Maybe I'm

to blame for the ongoing rental crisis.



I love smart ass release notes in Free Software.


This is from Signal.

Alt: A dark-grey app update notification displays "What's New" in a larger font size. Below, it states "January 15, 2025 · 7.38.0". The main text explains that a bug with "[@]" mentions that sometimes incorrectly included the user's own account in autocomplete suggestions has been fixed. It humorously suggests using third-person narration as a workaround in group chats if the user misses the bug. A blue "X" is shown in the upper right corner to close the notification.

Repertorio Melodioso - Genshin Impact


Antier desbloqueé el modo permanente musical de #genshinimpact y no puedo dejar de jugarlo. Me encanta la música del juego y los juegos de ritmo, así que siento que esto fue hecho basado en las encuestas, ya que siempre pongo que la música de Genshin me encanta y que juego mucho juegos de ritmo (y sé que no soy la única).
¡Me encanta este modo permanente!

UCP revoke $112 million housing commitment to Jasper


From Kyle Kasawski NDP:

"Yesterday, Minister Nixon announced that the Government of Alberta would be reneging on its promise to fund interim housing in Jasper. It’s another broken promise by the UCP, one that impacts the long-term survival of the Jasper townsite."

New here | Has Diaspora* become marginalized?


I decided to have a look at Friendica, as I noticed that Diaspora* often is ignored in the recent spate of articles about alternatives for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X and the like. Also I noticed that Diaspora* is not fully integrated in the Fediverse.

Still finding out the ins and outs of Friendica.

I am new here as well, an emigrant from facebook. I wish I had seen this diagram up front would have helped with a lot of decisions.
in reply to Unus Nemo

I could not believe my eyes when I read about that censorship of #democrats #obama #biden and #fauci in a newspaper and now in your blog. (I am not in the US.) Where is this going to end?

Hello, World!


I'm fleeing Facebook and corporate owned platforms in general. Discovering the Fediverse, which I am loving so far. This is how I always envisioned the internet, a decentralized environment where users are in control of what they see and how content is moderated. I shouldn't be forced to support Nazi shit just because the corporation who owns the platform I'm using is throwing their weight behind a Nazi.

I am most active on BlueSky but I plan to become more integrated into the Fediverse. I don't see myself ever going back to corporate internet. This also feels more like the old internet, you'll know what I mean if you're older than 30.

We have nothing to lose but our chains! ✊



We can't let Trump style politics — attacking and scapegoating the most vulnerable — take over Canada.


Thomas Embree reshared this.

in reply to Suzanne

Hear, hear. Fuck Trump. The issue, imo, is political conservatism. That is where all this bullshit is coming from. We need to stop pretending that conservatism is a valid alternative to other political views. It is just a vehicle for hate, division, and ruin.


I posted this on my #Mastodon feed a short while ago

Just sent an email to the local BBC offices*, asking why they are still using X and Facebook etc. for social media.

*if I get a reply I know it will be corporate!

#BBC #SocialMedia #X #Twitter #Facebook #Instagram #WhatsApp #Threads #WhyAreYouStillUsing

I also sent a slightly altered email to both the local council and the county council
#SouthRibbleBoroughCouncil #SRBC LancashireCountyCouncil

This is a copy of the email


Hi,
In light of the recent outbursts by the owner of X, twitter as used to be, asking if the United Kingdom should be liberated, then his rants against Ministers of His Majesty's Government and his use of what is known as the Nazi or Roman salute at Donald Trump's inauguration, should you still be using his 'services' as he becomes more and more blatantly fascist in his views? Similarly, should you still be using Meta groups social media, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads, In light of their owner rolling back rules around hate speech and abuse.

Thank you for reading
Looking forward to you response.



Just another facebook refugee


Now that the Cenobite Engineer Mark Zuckerberg has come out of his closet as a Nazi, it was time to say goodbye to facebook which has become a haven for idiocy and untruthfulness. I have tried a numer of different platforms, but for now Friendica seems to be most suitable for my needs:

1) Decentralized structure.
2) Ability to store photos.

I am still trying to figure out if I can create groups in thus program.

Just another facebook refugee

@ghostproxy

Welcome. Feel free to ask, if you don't know something. #fedihelp call the helpful people to answer your questions. In General: Use and follow hashtags to find your people. Follow people. Give a boost to posts, you like, so they can be seen by more people. Feditips and Fediwiki are good sites to get an idea, how the fediverse works basically.



I'm relatively impressed
