The perfect trope doesn't exi--oh.

@kyle I just learned some people actually call them "cloud kitchens"!

@dneary @mitchellh But I was trying to make a deposit!

(I have had other troubling experiences where banks wouldn't give me my money -- most recently with Santander, who has a secret monthly ACH maximum, does not allow wire transfers online or over the phone, and insisted the only way I could get my money out after hitting the ACH cap was in person -- no branches in my state -- or via paper check.)

Actual words spoken to me at Bank of America today -- "We do not have cash capabilities today."

"ghost kitchen" may be the most overly dramatic term for the most mundane thing

@olasd @mjg59 thank you for "border guard cosplay"

@mjg59 yep, amazing, hard to argue with: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/05/msg01452.html

Also this reminds me of people checking photo ID when signing GPG keys. If you have no training/practice in identifying an official ID (as I'm 99% sure most of the volunteers at the polls do not either), the requirement is not worth much, which means all of the cons of the requirement easily outweigh the supposed benefits.

Had to show photo ID to vote today, for the first time in my life. Lame.

@dneary Last Action Hero on M, W, F; Ghost Dog on Tu, Th; Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs on alternating weekends.

@xxv might makes right

I'm short on time -- can I just put the Emergen-C *in* the whiskey?

@birdinfire@mstdn.social So who do you vote *for* with your wallet?

But to bring it back to the post, this is an opportunity to join the F-Droid board of directors, which has some influence on policy and strategy for the project. We're not just looking for people who already agree with 100% of what's being done :)

@birdinfire@mstdn.social Well, hopefully we can both agree that reproducible builds (where the binary matches a known good hash no matter who builds or re-builds it) is the best solution here, and F-Droid is helping the effort toward that. Also don't forget that F-Droid is not a centralized technology -- the name does refer to a primary repo, but anyone can stand up their own repo and sign everything with their own key. Besides, which store allows you to pass through your own signature on your upload?

@birdinfire@mstdn.social Eh? Developers control their own security key. Are you talking about how F-droid wants to re-build and re-sign the software, which means using its own key(s)?

We need your help to advance user freedom on mobile devices -- if you are interested and have a few hours a month to contribute to building a solid organizational base to support the worldwide F-Droid community's amazing work, please nominate yourself (or another willing person) for the F-Droid board of directors: https://f-droid.org/2024/02/28/help-advance-mobile-device-user-freedom-nominate-candidates-for-the-f-droid-board-of-directors.html
