@prometheus to my business associates, but you can call me george adams.

The Facts

Listen to the gossip.

Enginerring while you wait.

Shiny is better.

I see so many tales of cybermalice in HN and /. now that if they cease and all I find are silence or "the web is all safe and friendly now" I will grow suspicious that there has been a particularly devastating and deep hack.

@jws thank you for this find. Upstate environmentalists are besieged with craptomining schemes that will screw our environment and enrich a very few investors...maybe. Our local legislators pose bills to kill this nonsense, Albany listens to lobbyists.

@33MHz intentions. The slop and incompetence of others should not cast any guilt on me unless I exploit what I come across. If you find a $20 on the sidewalk are you a thief? What about a wallet?

@Streakmachine the overlap of groups with technical insight and the groups with psychospritual and moral insight is disappointingly small. Present company excepted.

@joe oh shit. It took me days of reading their API docs to get the very simplest python tool to access gmails in an acct I set up for a business idea. I hate the constant squeezing of utility from these increasingly closed systems from Google and Apple.

@33MHz Indeed. There are good reasons for owning and running your own server in-house, but none of them have to do with quality of life.

@thrrgilag another version of this is the Surface UX. My fat fingers cover so many pixels its a crap shoot when I try to touch the object hot-spots. I HAVE to wear my reading glasses and use the stylus to avoid misses.

@Streakmachine @33MHz I seem to have had a twitter acct since maybe 2011...almost never used, certainly not since 2016. I appreciate Muskmelon giving me occasion to deactivate the account.

@33MHz I got mine early.
The CSA across the street had 4 half-ton ag bags of what appears to be potting soil mix, donated by Cornell but not used. They wanted them gone before the bags fell apart, I fetched them home with my backhoe.

@joe I have had an account for over 10 years but I never got hooked on it. Musk is such a head case I might wait until the moment the company goes private to delete the account.

@igmp_join I have two local [Ithaca NY] roasters that feature east African , small lot, beans and there is always George Howell's Terroir coffee. [georgehowellcoffee.com]

Oh dear. @33MHz @Joe @Kabuku Hoping everyone stays well or recovers thoroughly... Case rates are high enough in upstate NY that health dept "suggests" masks but at a concert in Cortland last night, very few seen in the auditorium or at the bar.

#stuporspreader

Between fatigue and ignorance, we are dealing with too many who let their guard down. The tracing efforts are abandoned and so for some comes the apprehension that "its everywhere" and for others a pretense that the coast is clear. Consequently "superspreader" events cannot be recognized. I am calling this situation #stuporspreader. Some of us stocked up on self test kits and use them. Some of us report test results others don't so the statistics available have a degraded and fragmenting quality. Among my ex's and in-laws, I have seen a breakthrough case where a person weakened by other germs died within 4 days of diagnosis ....so thinking the new strains can't hurt us so much looks foolish to me.…

Read on Longpo.st

@igmp_join @Wife There are also some great Kenyan beans that boast a citrus top note. I can't afford George Howell but he has the beans.

@hybotics Oh No! This is depressing just read about. Sad to hear it.

@literary thanks, the day agrees, the sun shines, the fires elsewhere shall not intrude. I want all days to be happy but am down to taking the merely tolerable.

@33MHz I will wear my wool cap, pulled well down over my ears until [if ever] hair reappears.

Ah, that is better. Hi pnutters!

@33MHz come to think of it, we have seen a cardinal once or twice at our bird feeders...which are two stories off the ground because bears and cats and we wanted to see them from the kitchen.

looking strange this morning. Wife got me to shave my balding head and suddenly my Stream has NO posts even though my Mentions look as before.
