I literally have 0 followers, but wondering what people are using as their photo backup solution. Do you use iCloud, store on your Mac, external hard-drive? I used to rely on photostream syncing from my iPhone to my MacBook, but that has become super unreliable. I don’t really like what I have read about iCloud. #apple #iPhone #iOS

Mississippi Lawmakers Attempting Takeover of Funds for Jackson’s Water System, Federal Manager Warns
--
For decades, state and city leaders have clashed over who should control local spending, services and infrastructure. Now, both the federal manager and the city’s mayor are warning that state politicians are attempting to take over Jackson’s water system, along with hundreds of millions in federal funds meant for repairing it.

My most recent Opt Out Experiment is online—thanks, Publicbooks! Here’s how I evaded data capture at Disneyland—and more importantly, how Big Tech has hijacked “convenience” to keep us in thrall.

Let me get this straight. Republicans spent Friday cosplaying machismo by encouraging their supporters to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon, which was 11 miles up in the atmosphere, a balloon so large it could hold an entire football stadium inside of it. No consideration of the danger of their useless bullets falling back to earth.

Meanwhile, Biden had already given the order to the military to shoot it down when it was safe to do so back on *Wednesday.* They had already jammed their signals so it couldn’t send any info back to China, and instead was collecting info on the satellite.

So as usual, we have Republicans acting like idiots, encouraging actions that posed danger to the American people, all the while hoping to “stick it to Biden,” when in actuality, Biden had already handled the situation days before by involving the military who had neutralized the threat and then ultimately shot down the balloon over the waters past South Carolina.

Vote blue, people. #news

If you've ever wondered why so many podcast apps have HUGE settings screens full of little nitpicky toggles, take a look at my mentions.

Everyone wants a slightly different set of often-conflicting behaviors, and there are tons of edge cases to consider with every decision.

Holy shit, it works! I am officially a full-time #ProfessionalMaintainer ✨🧑‍💻💼

That means I spend most of my time on #OpenSource maintenance, and I offer retainers to companies that benefit from my work and from access to me.

I now have six amazing clients: Glasklar Teknik AB, Protocol Labs, Latacora, the Interchain Foundation, Smallstep, and @tailscale.

Given that twitter is going to start charging for api usage next week, but has neglected to give anyone any info about rates, I recommend running https://www.movetodon.org/ one last time while you still can.

None of the migration tools will work after the 8th (give or take some timezones).

After an old pic of Hillary and Trump during a 2016 debate resurfaced as a musical meme, Hillary weighed in as only she can.

See her hilarious revelation about what song they were singing here: https://www.comicsands.com/trump-clinton-debate-musical-meme-2659344234.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=toot&utm_campaign=sand

fyi, since many people don't know this exists:
Almost all computer screens made in the last decade support DDC/CI. (The Display Data Channel Command Interface).
You can use it to control stuff like the backlight brightness without fiddling with the awful screen buttons and OSD.

On Linux once you load the ddcci kernel module the screens appear in /sys/class/backlights and can be controlled like a laptop screen.
