ok, sprawdźmy, na ile realnie fediwersum radzi sobie w konkurencji z fb, jeśli chodzi o angażowanie ludzi ;-)

W Wiszni Małej (powiat trzebnicki) 3 września (niedziela) organizujemy imprezę charytatywną, z której dochód będzie przeznaczony na leczenie i rehabilitację okolicznych dzieciaków. Zachęcam do wsparcia - można upiec ciasto, podarować fanty na loterię, pomóc jako wolontariusz(ka) na miejscu. Jeśli chcecie się zaangażować - dajcie znać :-)

If the US government really had alien bodies, then the Is president would know about it.

If the US president knew about it, then Trump would know about it.

If Trump knew about it, he would have told everyone, bragged about, kept boxes of documents about it at Mar-A-Lago, etc. There would be a ketchup stained original photograph of an alien autopsy on the floor of his bathroom.

Since we haven't heard him brag about having seen a photo of an alien, we know that he hasn't seen one.

Remember: you’ll do more for musicians if you delete Spotify, pirate all your mp3s and buy a single album every month on a platform with fairer percentages (Bandcamp, formaviva, heck even iTunes).

In 1992, Sinead O'Connor tore a picture of Pope John Paul II in half during a performance on SNL in protest against generations of abuse toward children within the Catholic church.

Bless you, Sinead.

Welcome to Heaven.

Tongass National Forest has a great sense of humor about "bear petting." 😜 Another place to visit on my bucket list. It's 16.7 million acres and is in Southeast near Juneau. I've been to Juneau, just not to the forest and I will NEVER pet a bear!

In case you’re currently looking for a job, a reminder:

Those “requirements” that companies put in their postings - those are just a wishlist.

If the job looks like it fits you, and you meet maybe 50% of the requirements, go for it.

“You should hire me, because… “ - if you can complete this sentence, the role is worth applying for.

If you don’t like what Google is doing, spend a few moments seeing if some non-Google alternatives work for you:

Android —> GrapheneOS, /e/, Droidian, and more
Chrome —> Firefox, Safari, (Lynx :))
Docs —> cryptpad, Nextcloud docs, Collabora online
Drive —> Nextcloud
Gmail —> protonmail, mail from someone like Mythic Beasts
Search —> DuckDuckGo, StartPage

You don’t have to change everything at once, or commit to anything immediately. But it is Google, so you may be forced to move at some point!

Look at what the Teamsters got for UPS workers. $21/hr for part time. The end of mandatory OT on days off. A/C in their trucks. Unions WORK. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

Every single thing conservatives are mad about can fit into three categories:

1) things they made up entirely
2) things caused by conservatism
3) things that are none of their goddamn business

It's too much.🧺

Więc mówisz, że kiedyś w komiksach nie było polityki (i tego całego woke)? [Epizod 35]

A pamiętasz, jak w 1971 roku Captain America i Falcon zapobiegli eskalacji zamieszek na tle rasowym w Harlemie i ujawnili, że czarnoskóra ludność została podburzona przez Red Sculla, ponieważ nazistom zawsze są na rękę konflikty i przemoc na tle rasowym?

"Captain America", vol. 1, nr 143, Marvel Comics.

"Power to the People", scen. Gary Friedrich, rys. John Romita.

Loblaw reports rise in profit and revenue as Canadians continue to struggle with food prices

>The parent company of Loblaws and Shoppers Drug Mart said it will be adding 25 No Frills stores to the network this year as customers focus on value.

No, there's a difference between "value" and "price". Customers are focusing on the fact that they can't afford food, while owners and executives rake in billions in profit.

Long shot, but I'm out of ideas.

Any one have any ideas on what to do with a Fire HD 10 tablet (2021) that won't turn on?

Family member found it in drawer, so I suspected a simple case of a battery needing charging, but it's not working.

I've tried:
- Leaving it on USB change for twelve hours.
- Leaving it on wireless charge for twelve hours.
- Holding down power button.
- Holding down power button and various combinations of the volume buttons.

For USB, I am using stock charger and cable, and can verify they work as my phone charges using them.

Furthermore, I used an energy monitoring plug and can see the tablet is drawing around 3.58W, and it drops to 0.00W when unplugged.

The tablet is in excellent condition, looks brand new. Family member said they just left it in a drawer and forgot about it, insists it worked perfectly fine before, and I do believe them.

So I'm quite baffled. Do I just keep charging it and hope it suddenly wakes up? Are there other ideas I could try? I really hope it isn't dead 🙁

Thanks for any help any one can give.

It is indeed a magical money tree, it magically appears when the government wants to spend & magically disappears when the people want something spent.

I also should have mentioned that I actually critiqued Barbie so hard that I ended up consulting for Mattel. https://medium.com/csforall-stories/tech-barbies-backstory-how-she-went-from-math-is-hard-to-robotics-engineer-63d22437df5d

Do y’all remember Computer Engineer Barbie, the world’s worst computer engineer? Starring in the world’s most sexist children’s book? With all the discussion about Barbie, I realized it’s been almost a decade since that controversy blew up and I went viral for this feminist remix. (“Now with less sexism!”) https://caseyfiesler.com/2014/11/18/barbie-remixed-i-really-can-be-a-computer-engineer/

Asking a woman if she is “on her period” won’t help you but treating her like she is “on her period” might save your life.
