I dunno. I keep remembering what my old Pebble did, and how well it did, and nothing more… And yep, I want it back.

Basically, a dumb watch, with an HR monitor, accelerometer, and could sync that data to my phone app.

Its API let me do cool things like pause/unpause my music while running, which was nice. But, it required the apps to be have an API for doing so.

Battery? The thing went an entire week between charges.

Well…

Don’t start something, won’t be something.

“Liberate”… hehe

Hard to find. Only two nurseries carry them.

Thunderbird and neomutt.

Watch the intro video when you first turn on the mac book. REALLY.

If you miss it, or whatever, find the current vid to watch. Before I did that, it felt like the touchpad was insane, and just doing random shit.

And get iTerm2. Its better than stock.

From there, its just a UNIX with a funny window manager.

A huge problem are developers who lack a fundamental understanding of how the internet even works. I’ve had to explain how short, unqualified names resolve vs how fqdns resolve. Or why even you may not be able to reach another node in your proverbial cluster, because they are on different subnets. Or, why using GUIDs as hostnames is a generally bad idea, and will cause things to fail in unpredictable ways, especially with deeply nested subdomains.

Oh, yeah, I guess I kinda tossed that out there, as they do host a ton of servives. However, its very welcoming as an onboard ramp to learn about *nix stuff. Just ease yourself into that, while exploring Disroot and RiseUp :)

Tildeverse.org

Disroot.org

Riseup.net

Instead of self hosting, why not try better offerings?

Most anything you probably use Google for, you can do with a disroot account. Riseup is a great group, with many similar services (not all). The tildeverse also has myriad replacement services.

Just try to support them, financially.

Is that the one that tried to get democrats to support the gaza genocide?

No, that’s not at all what they stated, or even implied, from my perception.

At this point, for example, a healthy media would be calling Israel’s actions what they have been determined to be, by experts in the field: A right wing state engaged in a genocide. Several parts of the UN have determined it, as well as a number of independent human rights organizations.

Additionally, the same would apply to all countries, just in case someone is thinking I’m just anti-Israel, or anti-US… China should be called out by all news outlets for their human rights abuses. Britain should be called out for their trampling of human rights too. Same goes for India, Canada, Australia, Germany, Austria, France, etc.

The flea market I go to has none of that.

What mechanisms are there to limit bad actors on ebay and other commercial marketplaces?

Very little.

Personally, I think they can fuck right off.

Yeah, and I dont give the instance long for the world.

No you, and others know!

Conservatives are all ok with it, and promoting it. Its a core tenet.

It would behoove every instance to defed them.

’m not talking about fascists either.

You’re talking about conservatives, who are fascists in sheep’s clothing.
