Mastodon friendliness - give people a sign! 

Would save me time contacting people if they wrote "Will not respond to messages and not interested in making friends" etc

(They are post online, surprisingly alarming rate but yeah stranger-danger prob, autism or whatever flavours of usual). Without solving it (by becoming friends!) or discovering my angles I guess got keep moving on!

Don't mind it- it helps posting... but it's misleading to be here and for it to be one way... Trying not to be hard on folks and I do get reply all the time so eh... I'm fast maybe.
Elephants can be slow too or run away scared too easily (unmeasured fear)...

@pony Wow I voted and the only other person chose the same [¬:

What's YOUR FAV Happy New Year picture (generic wallpaper or personal pictures if you like the trees, nature, 2024 writing, fireworks, lighting fire, etc

"Tech doesn't make our lives easier -- but faster. "

We have reports from people for whom delta chat works while signal shows "no internet" ... Various states are throttling traffic all across the planet and you need to have a robust networking layer to provide service. Delta Chat is offline-first, ignores DNS outages, can be combined with Tor or Tails. It is trying to make live easier for people who are already in stress and need a reliable messenging experience. It is project practise to keep the least wealthily connected in focus.

@strypey That's why I'm sending people audio messages privately more using these ways below (if interested to hear my mirth!)!

■ Mastodon private message (record audio file and attach)

■ Delta Chat @delta (Any Email + ENCRYPTED features on top: Voice, Pics, Email + No setup other email)

Best alternative I've found to Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, Voicemail ETC... NO MIDDLE SERVERS or tracking or central server control.

WORKS ON OLD ANDROID !
(Android version: 4.1+)

Might be similar clones but works same to make GMail + encryption possible for Signal / WhtsApp style 1 touch audio messages!

#ShowerThoughts: You can't be sardonic online. People can't see the mirth in your eyes and they think you're just being snotty.

New Rake (Custom Build)...
Hand Made.... No Power Tools.... Recycled parts + Small New parts...

Features:
▀ Longer teeth - long screws which I will saw off probably
▀ Metal defence (everywhere!)
▀ Back scraper (for moving filtered soil
▀ Stand up by itself (due to long teeth) instead of picking off ground all the time

(At home winter games!)

It is heavier but as heavy duty goes it will be good for longer bits.

@osslate Sounds like your dream / nightmare might be telling you something :)

Applying for jobs is intentionally demoralizing because companies want you to undersell yourself so they can get a good deal on you.

If you're looking for work, set aside time to love yourself. You're awesome! You are worth so much more than what a business will pay you.

Anyone know any lawyers that take cases like this pro bono?

@lrvick Hello Neil @neil - someone is asking about a lawyer and wondering:

- if there is a place to forward people, like a group of lawyers willing to entertain work
- if you don't mind the occasional 1 person asking and I mentioned you in conversation like this (as a 1 off)

Thanks

My New Year's message in a few words: Sharing joy is as important as finding it. In addition to discovering your own joy, it is essential to share it with others by being inclusive, welcoming, and encouraging.

@neil "Necromunda"
My advice is put them in your walk path or hallway as way to constantly see and semi-force you to do something with them :) else they get stored hidden "Forever" !
Giving to local places of bigger workshops / hacker clubs *might* help them use it before you but must be a nightmare for them :)

Experienced this with clothes as a "freeshop" or charity style drop it all here... and ended up needing to use clothes containers going abroad or for sale that way... But now I realise one can do a lot with clothes like sewing them together for bigger covers or mosaic bedding!

If you can believe people are useful without them actually being useful to you directly... this makes for some benefits:

█ better feelings towards others - less conditional
█ doesn't assume you need to know right away - gives time
█ doesn't box people into government regulated terms of 'jobs'
█ allows communication more open or present or free flowing, not just based on what they can do for you in business sense or "what do you" as the forefront
█ Even might avoid comparison or conflict at first

I accept knowing is good or not a bad thing, but the order of doing things can be more healthy or human as it's limiting in it's own way.

█ Even let's them share in their own time (unless both of you say little in which case ask if they don't mind !)

@robryk
█ For disclaiming / liability reasons I think more than anything

but enjoyed reading the technical sides to it.

So even a bit of anything they might have to write it because that MIGHT cause harm you (if you held it to your eye while puncturing lol)

"I'm gonna sue them.. but needs to be quick as it won't hurt in a minute's time!"

█ Interesting about being re-pressurized by atmosphere / temperatures changing

█ @freemo Another thing to talk about perhaps connected to your diving,
Feel free to send me small audio notes and I'll edit it into some packed wisdom and fun facts about pressure in relation to tanks and diving. Does sound like you know and need to know for that stuff (guess it's called a sport).

There's a big difference between assuming things are dead and it actually being dead... 

There's a big difference between assuming things are dead and it actually being dead.

(This works in many sense of word dead - the physical and mental sense).

--------------------------
Notes + examples below from this posts thought :
--------------------------

█ Value or worth is still to those people there, it's not the number or extreme popularity only.

█ The reduction of numbers doesn't always mean it's dead

█ One can assume (even from experience) something is wrong and be quick to dispose, discard, disregard something because of perceptions, and then perceived time or economic perspectives effort in it's repair... but remove or adjust 1 or 2 assumptions and actually things can be continued... and still existing in another ways.

█ Getting it to "how it was before" is a mind thing which still can be enjoyed in less perfect state (or less perfect in your mind but still better than 0)

Examples below:

- as movement
- as product moving on
- a change of hands / rebranding
- repair of things

└Example 1, software dies but then gets forked somewhere else. You might see it as dead but it's growing somewhere if you look deeper (yes this is effort but can continue just as before once you find new website etc).

└Example 2The growth of a company or fandom might be less or the scene is dwindling from the hype days but small roots can grow and even more cherished (or just the same as it was just not as popular).
