DuckDuckGo search for "set time spect oven dst" with the top response being a "Search Assist" response that explains that you need to check the manual.

AI equivalent of when you ask a group a question and someone has to let you know they don't know the answer before anyone else can talk.

Efficiency is destroyed by capitalism. There's no reason I can't have a full house system that only heats or cools the rooms people are in without being connected to the internet, except that connecting it to the internet allows companies to harvest user data and sell subscriptions and push ads […]

Recently been exploring the idea of remaining mostly plant based with the only exception being hunting or fishing for noncommercial reasons. So no store bought animal product, fishing myself is fine, being served something someone else hunted is fine. I haven't fully thought this through yet but […]

Tables of roughly organized clothes, with a coffee counter in the back.

The front entrance to the free store, with a sign propped up against a wall, and a chalked (misspelled) "walcome to the free store" message.

Tables and racks of roughly organized clothes.

A table of many shelf stable food products, a couch being used as a table for children's items.

In case you ever wondered what a free store running out of a house church looks like, here's some photos (featuring only volunteers, before visitors came).

Foolishly diving back into Agora Nomic. Not really sure I have the time for it but I'd like to.

Mindustry A sandbox tower-defense game.

I think somehow I didn't know that Mindustry is FOSS? That game is amazing, played the heck out of it with friends a couple years ago. Everyone should check it out.

I'm feeling troubled by tomorrow's No Kings event. It's described as a protest, but the local one us at a park with booths and maps and everything. It feels more like a festival. And a festival of radical people getting together is cool. But to me "protest" implies becoming inconvenient to the […]

It feels like to me that the biggest mistake we Americans have made is not demanding the right to assembly be treated as absolute as the right to free speech, despite both coming from the same amendment. I genuinely don't understand how curfews are seen as legal at all, or how an assembly can […]

We're several months out but I've mvoed The #30DayFOSSChallenge to a github page and a subdomain, so that it no longer relies on just me (and could maybe be expanded to other pages in the future:

Finished Inscryption. Excited to mess around with Kaycee's Mod.

@ObbieZ Since I'm on an e cargobike, I do usually take the full lane. The prompt for this morning's post was someone fully taking the opposite lane to speed past me and then stop a block up where I promptly caught up to them. In front of a school in the morning, nonetheless.

I feel like people see bikes and irrationally associate them with slowness. I get aggressively passed on residential streets at least one week. I'm on an ebike, I'm already going to speed limit! And then half of those people promptly slow down to the speed limit and now the only difference is I […]

Here's a screenshot of my email. I like citations.

Bills could rise by millions under Ameren data center plan, Missouri regulatory staff say Missouri’s utility regulator’s staff says the Public Service Commission should reject a new proposal from Ameren.

Here's that article if you want to include it:

Many people struggle with what to say at these things. Be polite, be clear, be honest.

Our city needs to become drastically more environmentally conscious, not less. Don't add AI shit to our grid at taxpayer expense.

Free Speech is foundational to what America aspires to be. Anyone that opposes it is unAmerican. Anyone that waves the flag while opposing it is an authoritarian cosplayer. Resistance to those who would abridge it is patriotism […]

Kinda having FOMO that nobody tried to get me fired when I said Charlie Kirk would've supported what happened to Charlie Kirk.

Daryl Davis - Wikipedia

I think few people have gotten the kind of individual making-the-world-better results Daryl Davis has gotten, so clearly he's doing something worth studying.

Bells and instruments in museums make he sad. Permanently silenced.

Back on matrix recently. Really is a ghost town over there. I wonder what needs to happen to make it have a sustainable community (or is it just the groups I'm in that have died off?)

@skinnylatte I wonder how much of that is "native internet" socializing. I have friends that have long since moved but are still active in group chats, who I have no doubt would be happy to host me and take me to events in their current city. Feels like a thing that'd be much harder to manage […]

Ok the results of yesterday's phone experiments. I tested 6 or 7 old phones. Two Galaxy S7s and a Poco F3 booted. The Poco is not supported yet on PostmarketOS and I had trouble getting anything to build for that. The S7s have a more convoluted process, involving TWRP to be able to flash them […]

The "proper" way to delete a Matrix channel is to kick everyone from it, and then leave, which makes it automatically delete in 7 days? This seems... inefficient.

Finally logged back into Matrix, and we've just fixed the Agora Nomic Matrix <-> Discord bridge, which means you can participate conveniently in Agora and stay fully FOSS once more.
