I’m a lapsed Catholic with a lot of problems with the church, but I approve of Chicago Bob’s choice. 👍

Happy Birthday, lemmy.zip!

I’ve been through pages of internet forums looking for a fix. The best advice I got was “set an alarm on your phone”. I finally just gave up on outlook’s calendar.

Setting up calendar events with reminders that never happen. At some point, they just stopped working for me.

It’s my understanding that you don’t have to accept a pardon, and that accepting one is a tacit admission of guilt, which probably opens up some interesting legal arguments once Trump is out of office.

The girls are breaking maximum wind. The boys can do better, fart jokes aside.

WORLDSTAR!

I hope that we can just transition form Mozilla Pocket to Digg Pocket without much hassle, but that probably won’t happen. I understand all the hate for Pocket I’ve seen over the last two days because it’s useless to most people, but man, there’s a really good use case for Kobo owners.

I just saw a thread about Digg buying Pocket from Mozilla, so I don’t think I’ll need to mess with that now.

Good news for Kobo owners!

I find the unbalanced microfuge triggering.

I found these instructions on how to install KoReader and use Wallabag. It looks like a real pain in the ass. I hope Rakuten does something, because I’m not doing that unless I absolutely have to.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

My Kobo has the Pocket app and I’ll miss being able to send articles to it. Apparently I’ll be one of the few to be sad to see Pocket go.

Fuck Tapper and fuck Stewart. Trump can’t tell a reporter what the Declaration of Independence means, but we’re still stuck on the fact that a man who dedicated his life to public service dared to get old.

I am the son of MAGA parents. They were never overtly racist. They were always kind to my non-white friends and their non-white neighbors, always thinking that they were “one of the good ones”. But since Trump has validated their latent racism, it has become more ugly. I think that’s more insidious and dangerous than empowering the lunatic fringe, honestly.

Trump wanting to change the name of Veteran’s Day to Victory Day makes more sense to me now.

Congrats. Enjoy the root beer.

I’m reading Neuromancer in anticipation of the Apple TV series. I’m impressed with Gibson’s writing. It’s quite a stylistic change from the last book I read (Handling the Undead by John Ajvide Lindvquist).
