Snark about guns & fedi moderation

Shower thought: Gee, seems like a lot of folks who say guns make for a polite society think blocking and defederation will end society altogether 😆

re: Snark about guns & fedi moderation

(They also forget that that "polite society" thing is not a Heinlein quote so much as dialogue from a really nasty character.)

re: Snark about guns & fedi moderation

but I hear if you're blocked in the fediverse you're blocked in real life.

:birdsite:​ meta re: earthquakes

Saw a bunch of folks bemoaning "where will we hear about earthquakes if twitter goes away" - meanwhile I just saw 5 different people toot that there was thunder in Portland over on a local instance

I had been a big Spotify user for almost 10 years. Then, rather abruptly, I switched almost entirely to listening to streaming DJs. A bit of Twitch, some Mixcloud, mostly bigsonicheaven.com

The last time I had a "Wrapped" playlist, it was like just stuff from two albums and a goth playlist I'd left playing overnight once

Oh yeah and occasionally Bandcamp, because I'm a sucker for a digital download paired with a vinyl record and some tchotchkes

And if I can keep the bunnies from chewing through the speaker wires, I even play records on our turntable from time to time

@dansinker Oh man now I want this hat & sweater

@wilco I spy a lovely Nokia N900?

@wilco I used one of those for awhile and also a Samsung Epic 4G, kind of miss the slide-out keyboards in general!

@zwol 1. I feel like host-meta is a google-fest for me every time :/

But for no 2., I do see hits in my logs from webfinger lookups that hit host-meta first before carrying on to the URL that I specified for webfinger (sometimes on a different host)

re: CGI - Are you, by chance, setting up a personal site where a webfinger query would really only ever turn up one user? Because one weird trick is to ignore the query parameter and just serve up a static webfinger resource with the sole account hardcoded
