Looking for an office suite that doesn't spy on you or share your data? We're here. LibreOffice is open source (you can study how it works), and backed by a non-profit @tdforg. Enjoy.

"the vast majority came to support the school district’s policies"
Hmm, I wonder how true that is. Anyone attend in person to verify?

“Whatcha putting in the bucket boy?”
My dogs are weird. Not sure if they’re saving them from the cat or keeping them for themselves.

Also, Yahoo Serious could have made an excellent kids show. He could have been like Bill Nye, The Wiggles, and Blippi all rolled into one, but better. I think he was like 20 years too early.

Watched Young Einstein with the kiddo this week and she keeps asking for it.

@herbincowgirl@mindly.social Now you see the wisdom in the front porch🙂

I weirdly remember a lot from when I was pretty young. Ages 2-4. I still remember a lot of routes and roads we would take at the time(all based on landmarks), so tonight I ran through Google Earth and Streetview to verify some of those memories. I didn’t miss a turn, but it was surreal. Heidi is good with directions and knowing where she is too. Many of the landmarks were still there. NC isn’t Europe old, but it is so much older than CO. Things were shaped in a world before automobiles.

People should be happy about a nationwide phone service test, or literally ANY test of our existing infrastructure.

The Internet is fucked, ESPECIALLY newly built network.

Every long-haul fiber system is absolutely pushed past the manufacturer's recommended distance for a link, manufacturers wont even do contracted obligational warranty support of new hardware in the field because it is operating so far outside of suggested distance parameters. This, coupled with the fact that we are pushing hundreds of gigs over Clinton era built fiber with a life expectancy of 10 years in 2023 should scare the shit out of you.

There is no cellular network without this backbone. Cellular towers are dependant on hard network infrastructure. The more redundant and well built systems from 20 years ago can't handle the amount of traffic so it is being phased out and new network infrastructure is built to be barely hanging on right out of the gate.

The old POTS system was built to withstand a nuclear attack. New infrastructure is taken out by a stiff breeze.

You should want the infrastructure to be tested, even though they are gonna lie about the results.

@82mhz I don’t think it ever died, but there does seem to be a renewed and growing interest to make the net a better place.

@BigSkyRider It used to be somewhat amusing/dumbfounding watching Brits embrace growing bureaucracy, but now it has gotten to be be a global problem. Have people ever been able to peacefully dismantle bureaucracy or must it always come down to war, death, and chaos?

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter That looks like kudzu root, that stuff is a menace in NC.

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter That is funny! I’m pretty sure that verse is made up though.

@amerika Well, USB storage can come in pretty small form factors. I bet one could fit a great many in a machine the size of a Redbox. People maybe could bring their own or purchase a blank drive. The box could contain a selection orders of magnitude larger than the Blu-ray/DVD version.
