In my lifetime we have gone from “don’t trust Wikipedia, trust the newspaper” to “don’t trust social media, trust reputable online news outlets” to “the only bastion of truth against the computer-generated garbage published by the mainstream news media is the Wikimedia Foundation and the Fediverse”

I think I have a crossover graphic novel somewhere about that… did I finish reading it? I think I’d better!

"110 years ago, suffragettes bombed and burned their way into the headline… In the space of 18 months, they… torched nearly 340 buildings, including nearly 100 houses or hotels and 32 churches."
These days, we send the relatively tame #JustStopOil to jail for slowing traffic, or throwing confetti.

"The era of global warming has ended. The era of global boiling has arrived.
The air is unbreathable, the heat is unbearable, and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable.
Humanity has unleashed destruction. This must not inspire despair, but action."

@BlueSCSI Purchased pre-assembled from @SMC Thanks so much for the assembly and case! Works great.
I had to remove the screw mounts on the sides to get it into the Mac's port though, which made the metal port edge loose, so I've taped it in place. I'll never be unplugging it so no big deal. Maybe I bought the wrong version?
#BlueSCSI V2 a Pi based SCSI to microSD interface has breathed new life into my #MacSE
I chained it into my Zip drive first to mirror the OS and apps and th en chose it as the start volume.
Then I unplugged the Zip drive that's been the system drive for the past 15 years and voilà! Now I can host as many OS versions and apps as I want! 😍
Great work putting this device together and creating this opportunity @BlueSCSI !

If it hungers, feed it.
If I can't climb out of damn Bronze 5 tier in #Overwatch by 2024 then go do something else! How's that piano playing going? Yeah, I went there, self.
@svetzal OK phew. That's also mine.
@svetzal You have a path? Show off! 😅

The first anniversary image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope displays star birth like it’s never been seen before, full of detailed, impressionistic texture. The subject is the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth.
STUNNING!
