Apparently you didn't learn which side of the Civil War he fought for because you didn't mention learning that. It was on the Union side.

The Bank of Japan racked up the most unrealized losses on its bond holdings on record in the latest six-month period, illustrating the challenge facing Gov. Kazuo Ueda if he moves toward normalizing policy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/11/29/economy/bank-of-japan-bond-holdings-loss/?utm_content=buffer9407b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #economy #boj #bonds #stocks

Oh dear.
People make the case against profitizing the Fediverse, so you're gonna have a Sisyphus Project on your hands if you pursue that line of thinking on here.

Nice job if you can get it.

Not so weird, actually. It's how the whole thing works when you stick to the routine you learned. Snags in the system were worked out before you learned the routine.
There's always a chance that you could manage to do something a little different that would improve the operration, but there's a bigger chance that when you do something different, you throw the whole operation into a cocked hat. 😉

White supremacist colonialists stick together to ensure US full spectrum predatory global hegemony. Genocide of Indigenous Palestinians isn't a bug, it's a normal feature of criminal Euro settler colonialism. #GazaGenocide #ZionismIsWhiteSupremacism

‘Alpha Male’ Trump Was Such a Primadonna for a 2-Second Commercial Appearance, That He Required a ‘List of Demands’ Like a Diva https://www.politicalflare.com/2023/11/alpha-male-trump-was-such-a-primadonna-for-a-2-second-commercial-appearance-that-he-required-a-list-of-demands-like-a-diva/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@wood The language rule that has ruled even the Oxford English Dictionary is Common Usage. Current common usage is that Steve Wilhite's preferences cause confusion with a popular brand of peanut butter, so it's Wilhite's error after all. 😉 Common Usage demands GIF just for the purpose of making the distinction.
I've taken a screenshot of your image because I'm about to poke fun at the fact that it proclaims that GIF isn't to be pronounced the way it's spelled. How hard would it have been for Steve to just spell it JIF?
I'm guessing as hard as the hard time a certain peanut butter maker would give him over the deal. I just saved the image as "GIF is not pronounced GIF".

I will not indoctrinate my children into the correct pronunciation of "gif." I will let them decide for themselves.
I will, however, impart the fact that Steve Wilhite, the creator of the Graphics Interchange Format, stated in 2013 that the correct pronunciation is “JIF” — not “GIF.”

To those pointing out the hard G in some words beginning with G, a friend reminded me of an old adage:

they should put more ambient light sensors on phones so that it doesn't just dim my screen because my shadow goes over the camera a bit

Okay so. I’m doing that thing where I’m suddenly thinking bigger. We’ll keep focusing on the supercool mastodon #music show, but how about this concept.
Has anyone addressed the overall concept of #musiclicensing on #mastodon + the #fediverse? I mean OVERALL universal music licensing. What’s powering TikTok? How come they get to have all the music licensing fun?
I know no one “owns” masto, but who *oooowns* mastodon? Boost a Berklee Music Deans Lister digging into licensing in their direction.
