Mike Pence’s presidential announcement got 5 retweets.

Can this picture of my dog’s butt beat that?

If you're wondering about whether prosecuting trump is a good idea because it might not lead to a conviction, or the trumpy judge might throw it out, or a future president Ivanka might commute or pardon him... read this from @Popehat and then see how you feel. open.substack.com/pub/popehat/

As hundreds of thousands of federal employees and members of the military know… if we deliberately took home a single one of the documents listed in the Trump indictment… we would take the plea and do 20 years. The law is clear. If we showed it to people, we’d do life. We ALL know that. Why the hell isn’t Trump in prison right now?

Hey all! Like so many others right now I am fleeing the large social media platforms and discovering the Fediverse for the first time! I’m either an an engineer or a software developer - depending on whose asking - in the Energy sector. I’m from Michigan originally but temporarily based in #taiwan for my wife’s job. I love road #cycling , #homebrewing , #cooking , various aspects of tech, and of course Sci-Fi.
I suppose that’ll be my first pass at an #introduction !

"Unlike the era of peak ACT UP and Stonewall, law enforcement is now equipped with unparalleled surveillance technology" and "all of these things are weaponized against activists," EFF’s Daly Barnett told PCMag: pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-lock-d
.

First they argued that a sitting president shouldn’t be indicted. (Unless it’s Joe Biden). Now they’re arguing that someone running for election also shouldn’t be prosecuted. (Unless it’s Hillary Clinton). And remind me, (not really) which party accuses the other of fostering a cult of personality?

Q about #pycharm and #docker:

Have you successfully used docker-compose and PyCharm to step-debug a Flask app running in a local Docker container?

If so, do you have a working example I could look at?

Thanks Internet!

Scotsman walks into a bar in Canada, and there’s a huge stuffed head on the wall.

‘What’s that?' He asks.

‘It’s a moose', comes the reply.

"Christ! How big are the cats around here?"

I am untenably disappointed in how Reddit is giving 3rd party devs only 30 days to implement “fuck you” pricing changes to their API

I quit twitter when they shut down tweetbot, and will quit Reddit if they force Apollo to shut down at the end of the month. 🔪

If you're someone considering an EV, you're probably now going to wait another two years to get one.

If you're looking to buy a used EV, you're probably going to wait for the dust to settle.

EV adoption just got kicked down the road two years.

HUGE!
General Motors follows Ford to adopt Tesla's NACS charging standard.
This means that DC fast charging should be reliable and easy to find, regardless of the brand of car you drive.

I used Sparrow Mail and it was the best. Then Google bought it, shut it down after integrating it into Gmail. I used Tweetie and it was the best. Then Twitter bought it, ruined it. I used Tweetbot and it was the best. Then Twitter shut it down, along with Twitterrific and everything else. I used Alien Blue and it was the best, but then Reddit bought it and absolutely destroyed it.

I use Apollo, and it's the best, but Reddit also had to ruin another good thing.
