It sucks that the pearl-clutching media ostracized her so much.

Fat old Hamburgler vs ripped, brook-no-shit woman.
Good luck with that.
Who the hell is waiting till 10am?
48·14 days agoFriend of mine used to volunteer for the local chapter of a well-known national non-profit. He tried to explain all the technical benefits of setting up a website, yada yada. The board didn’t care and were bored.
He finally set up a small demo on his own. Just a few screens. Ran a small test. Presented static screenshots, along with charts and stats on viewership and engagements. Had mockups of donation pages, volunteer signup screens, newsletters, etc. That was when people saw the value and got interested.
Nobody cares about decentralized social networks, the technology, or how terrible the other outlets are. For a municipality, you may want to focus on maintaining multiple channels of communications and ways to reach and engage the most users. You could then fold the fediverse into it as one more channel. Something they should keep an eye on. They’ll need a way to post the same content to all those channels with the least effort. Something easy that a trained intern or clerk can do.
Guarantee there will be questions of cost of setup, maintenance, and risks. May want to have some answers and slides ready.

Cut-off date for training must have been when eggs prices were jacked.
5·18 days agoAs a Giants fan, it’s been tough rooting for the Dodgers, but they played pretty solid games without making too many mistakes. Everybody talks about Ohtani, but Freeman was absolutely phenomenal. The Yankees just folded in the last game. Given their payroll and star power, it was amazing to watch them make so many mistakes and then just give up.
All-in-all, a good series. Dodgers earned themselves a non-asterixed WS win. But at times, it was hard not feeling like here were two spoiled, rich-kid bullies having a foodfight.
Obligatory: FTD.
Totally agree.
Builders care about the nuts and bolts of a building. Most people just care about whether they can get a decent hot shower, how cold it gets inside at night, or whether the smoke alarm goes off every time they fry onions.
The killer feature of decentralization, I suspect, does not lie in a singular interaction with a user, but (as Mike notes) in harnessing the power of the distributed group to do something amazing.
And the one time the rocket goes kablooey on its way up, everyone down the flight path will get a shower of used hypodermic needles, disposable vapes, and old appliances.
I remember when self-reported online polls were considered dirty and useless.
Oh, how the times have changed.
I’m feeling attacked.

Adobe announced a ‘distraction removal’ Photoshop feature this week at their annual MAX conference. Makes removing people from pictures a one-click operation for anyone: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/remove-tool.html
Plastic, nitrogen (or some inert gas, if packaged), and formaldehyde.
Yum!
There’s no real value to any of it.
Attach free beer to point levels and watch this thing explode.
