If anyone were in doubt what Trump's intentions with feeding lies to his angry mob is, here is your proof.

15 November 1937 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Bernard Arie Cohen, was born in Den Bosch.

Talk on light, and how to determine the speed of light through experimentation.

Job interviewer: What's your greatest weakness?

Me: Honesty.

Job interviewer: I don't think it is a weakness.

Me: I don't give a f**k what you think.

I'm really not sure what's worse at this point: the fact that he's a traitor, or the fact that he's a Nazi who wants to use the power of the United States government to exterminate those who do not worship him. With enthusiastic and violent followers (perhaps as many as 30% of Americans, a similar percentage as supported Hitler's rise in 1930s Germany), we need to prepare for the worst.

Why should a few companies – or a few billionaires – have the power to decide everything about #socialmedia spaces that billions of people use?

In the early days of the social internet, moderation decisions were made by members of the community.

I believe I have found a solution to a problem that others may have similar problems to too, so I want to share it.

The Windows-based RSS-client I use keeps suddenly dying, seemingly arbitrarily disappearing without any error-message even while not in active use.
I have tried other RSS-clients but none of them suited me.
It is probably not actively maintained anymore, because of Putin.

So, I found a very tiny (7.5kB) program called "Supervisor" that, when another program is launched through it, will keep monitoring if the other program has stopped running and if so just relaunches the other program.
It github.com/chebum/Supervisor is open source, free of cost, currently passes both Jotti (0/14) and VirusTotal (1/72) and the source looks fine to me.
It does leave a command-window open to run in, but that can be place in SysTray ("bottom right corner") to not be in the way using e.g. "The Wonderful Icon" and right-clicking on the regular minimize window-control and then for intentionally quitting the main program just close that command-window first.
Nice. :-)

Apparently any US fourth grader can get a free National Parks pass that gets them, their adults, and a vehicle into any park for the school year plus following summer?? everykidoutdoors.gov/index.htm

My 1 year old son has just started making noises when he plays with cars. He doesn’t say “brrrrm” or similar, he says “eeeee”. We own electric cars.

Think of it, a future where cars, buses, trucks, tractors go “eeeee” instead of “brrrrrm” in the minds of children.

Exactly one year ago, I made my first post on Mastodon. I uploaded the following picture and wrote:

"Just setting up my tent. Give me a few days to settle in. I have pictures... and opinions, although I haven't figured out the rules of this suburb yet, so I'm being extra nice."

I'm still here, and still being mostly nice.
