Hi @petebuttigieg.bsky.social You're one of the reasons I no longer donate to Democratic candidates. You got my email address from some list and decided that consent doesn't matter, you're putting me on your list. Another man who can't be bothered to get consent.

Today's example of this: If I choose to stop syncing the files that I SAVED ON THIS DEVICE to the cloud, those files will be REMOVED FROM THIS DEVICE and only accessible in their cloud 🤬

Screenshot from apple icloud settings, when I tried to stop syncing my files to their cloud:
If you continue, items will be removed from the Desktop and the Documents folder on this Mac and will remain available in iCloud Drive.
New items added to your Desktop or your Documents folder on this Mac will no longer be stored in iCloud Drive.

Corrected with alt text. It really is so simple to add, and makes a big difference in walking the talk of being anti those ableist magats.

"It took decades for Germany to regain its international standing after WWII.
It will take DECADES to rehabilitate the U.S.
Many of us boycotting U.S. goods will never again buy from the U.S.
It's not just Trump. It's every
Republican who didn't call him out.
It's the ICE agents who killed.
It's the contractors who built concentration camps. It's a nation that stayed silent when Trump sided with Russia against Ukraine.
It's watching U.S. soldiers come home in coffins from an illegal war.
It's NOT just Trump!"

It sounds like Jackson is the real deal version of what Platner was pretending to be. I hope this means that Maine can get some progressive representation they can trust, based his a long track record of progressive organizing work. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

A progressive 5th generation logger from the far-northern corner of Allagash, Maine, Jackson has had a long career in organizing progressive activists and ties to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who had endorsed him in his gubernatorial race earlier this year.

Hey, @waterfox.net, how do I fix this bug? The latest update is now wasting an annoying amount of space to the left of the sidebar just for a little gear icon at the bottom. It wastes that space when I have my bookmarks in the sidebar, too. That just showed up in the latest update.

Screenshot of a the about:preferences#general page of the Waterfox browser. The sidebar on the left is split, with about 20% of the space blank above a gear icon, and 80% showing the options for customizing the toolbar.

I posted too soon. They had to revise the graph for a higher actual high. The average high is 73F, with the upper end of the normal range hitting 79F. Tonight, we're only predicted to drop down to 79F for 3 hours, from about 5:30 to about 8:30am.

Can someone who works in restaurants or food delivery explain why it would take so much longer to prepare a pickup order? I considered ordering from a place that is literally 50 meters away the other day, and this made me decide not to.

Screenshot from a food delivery app showing a much longer wait time for pickup than for delivery

Delivery or pickup?
Delivery
10-25 min
0,00 €
Pickup
35-40 min
0,00 €
This is a Pickup (takeaway) order, so you'll have to collect it yourself from the restaurant

So I turned to Amazon, as much as I hate having to shop there. I found one - ONE - listing on amazon for Brooks in my size that will ship to me in Lisbon. There were plenty of other listings, but...

LinkedIn REALLY REALLY wants me to know that the US economy is cooked. They keep pushing ads at me about "If You Own a Home and Need Cash, Do This Instead Of A Loan (It's Simple)" It reminds me of the ubiquity of ads for payday loans back in the day.

Text: If You Own a Home and Need Cash, Do This Instead Of A Loan (It's Simple)
Image: two hands holding a cardboard sign in front of some high priced suburban houses, with the text "Here's how much you really get with with a HELOC"
Yes, it says "with with a HELOC", which suggests it's AI slop to make this even more gross.

Not quite 3 weeks ago, I adopted an older rescue dog, hoping she and Mocha would be besties. They guessed she was around 5 when she landed in the shelter, and she was so terrified she just hid in the back of her enclosure.

In a park near my house, there are some curved concrete platforms - I don't know if there's a better term for them, they're the width of benches but with no backing and way longer than any regular bench. Last year, the city installed a few metal seat backs to make them more comfy to enjoy.

If you want to block all of them, then you have to manually click to block each one - and it's a LONG list. So I picked one - which claims to identify deepfakes in real time - to allow. I think (hope) that effectively blocks all of the rest?

In the account settings, General tab, Security section, they have this setting. It's off by default, which means that any SDK app can join meetings and webinars for your organization. I don't even know what SDK apps are, but I clicked to see what's listed. Yup, a whole bunch of AI.

I don't understand why y'all keep reposting this guy who chooses to NOT use alt-text on any of his screenshots. This post in particular just feels like he's intentionally trolling - there's no reason to include the screenshot instead of letting BlueSky pull in the article preview from the link.
