@indie1337@vivaldi.net Well
Maybe if you say goodnight squashes then I can say I'm... *flat*tered

@hn50 I wonder if someday the Fediverse will face this sort of thing....

@zudn I love Gedit. Super simple by default, but as powerful as you need it to be.

It is built with GTK (GTK3, for the version I have anyhow), and seems to work perfectly without GNOME (πŸ‘πŸ‘).

@indie1337@vivaldi.net Outside of Judaism, I've never heard of people celebrating Passover. If I may ask, what is it like, the way you do it?

@indie1337@vivaldi.net Do you have a celebration for the Resurrection?

@techlore Don't get me wrong, both are bad. But the idea that a piece of software commonly installed on American devices is under the control of China, an enemy, is pretty concerning. Data mining as a general practice is just one of the concerns.
We don't enjoy installing closed-source software from the country we're in, much less installing closed-source software in bulk from an enemy overseas.

@cyberghost@fosstodon.org @tblock Over 4 million... wow!

@survey I'd like to say advanced β€” I'm certainly not a beginner β€” but truly, I'm not advanced yet. I'd say intermediate.

Art is an interesting thing. A picture is worth a thousand words, and art has the potential to change hearts and convey meaning at a deep level.

AI art cheapens art.

I'd really hate for meaningful artwork, something that required dedication and heart to create, to be generated at a mere text prompt....

From @mullvadnet THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRITTEN IN ITS OWN CHAT CONTROL BILL

I know I am US-based, but I've been following this law and what a terrible thing it is. Mullvad coming with receipts to back up this headline.

@avoidthehack @mullvadnet Worth noting that the article is written by a VPN organization, which could have motivation to lie on this topic. I'm not saying they did, and the article relies on direct quotes a lot which is nice. (I still think it is good content and I'm !)

Every day is like "starting tomorrow only people who post β€˜Elon is cool' will be eligible to have their tweets appear in English" and the entire press corps and all of my friends continue to post there like nothing has changed

@mmasnick @caseynewton I'd be OK with those people staying on Twitter. The lack of vitriol here has done wonders for my stress levels.

@Aslanmane I've been thinking a bit about church unity lately. Some denominations and branches are so tight on what they believe that they don't work together with other denominations and branches. One might hear names like Baptist Health Care, Lutheran World Relief, and Catholic Relief Services. Have you noticed how many Christian organizations' names have the branch or denomination in the name? This makes more sense for church names, but for other organizations...? Are we that divided?
