@cardassianvole Right? I wish I knew where the bats get in. I catch and release a couple of those per year.

@cardassianvole My cat thinks human food is bad, probably because she was living off trash for about a week before I knew that the thing that was hiding in the house was a cat (she broke in).

Cat was very interested in the groceries, but I didn't get anything for her.

Short work day tomorrow due to funeral. Need to remember to bring a suit.

I still think it's mildly insane that Amazon doesn't combine the payments for video royalties from different regions. They could have done a single 82 cent transfer instead of a 74 cent transfer, a 7 cent transfer, and a 1 cent transfer. Of course, if Amazon can afford to do that, what's Alphabet/Google's excuse with YouTube?

The cat disapproves of my dinner choice and so do I, but I didn't want to shop after work.

Informal Survey (Tech ; Raspberry Pi ; Questions) 

@cloud 3B+, raspbian, mostly used for experiments with different process (coffee roasting) control techniques, no

Does anybody have a recommendation for a good home WiFi AP? Mine is failing at about 5PM almost every evening in such a way that everything comes back if I just unplug/replug the Ethernet cable going to the modem, but it's obnoxious to have to do that nearly every day.

@gnomon Okay, that's not quite true. I've attended some lectures by people who are insanely experienced in beer making and have looked into re-purposing beer making equipment to produce other products with similar problems, but that doesn't translate into anything particularly actionable when it comes to making a delicious beer.

@gnomon I know nothing about making beer, but a local brewery ordered some coffee to use for that today.

I wonder how much beer you get out of 6 pounds of coffee.

@equal@mastodon.technology The IRS tried to make this point ages ago. Accountants and tax preparation software makers successfully lobbied to make the sane solution illegal as it would drastically cut the need for their services. This is why we can't have nice things.

Lets take a moment to talk about the many faces of Activity Pub (this network) 

Mastodon wants to replace twitter (some of their warts and all)

Pleroma wants to empower communities and users by building a great platform for "the socials" that has a STRONG focus on safety (I promise, there are some amazing features like MRF which are not widely known or understood). Think bulletin boards / forums in a very very broad sense.

Pixelfed is slowly building federation support to take on Instagram

Plume is a blogging engine that leverages the network for comments and sharing of content (Tumblr alternative)

PeerTube is hoping to take on YouTube

FunkWhale is inspired by grooveshark and wants you to get your groove going

PInafore is a lean, mean UI that's pretty

Halcyon is a tweet deck alternative

we have a couple CLI UI's as well

We have some tools that auto-delete posts after a timeout

We have some tools that cross post rss feed articles as posts

We have a LOT of developers from ALL over that are doing some really cool things.

This network isn't just a singular instance OR experience. It's the human condition of many views upon a topic expressed in a technical form.

@debugninja@banana.dog Is that the one with the karts or the one that's sliding down a mountain?
