@ExtralocalYokel Relatable.

@MitchWagner Maybe you missed the news about how the war criminal running DoD has ordered all his underlings to fire as many lawyers as possible. The words “panic” and “coverup” spring to mind.

@manton Doesn’t surprise me. Apple’s relentless lack of support for older products is what soured me on their ecosystem.

@artkavanagh Well he was looking into it last fall.

@MitchWagner Easy enough to find out. The real question is whether enough plumbing exists to connect Ziggy’s in-game chat to your micro.blog :)

@MitchWagner I stayed long enough to fall out of the sky on to abandoned land. My inventory was still full of all the things I had when I left, though some of them seem to no longer work. Linux client is actually pretty functional. I may go back some day when I’m really bored and play around some more. Ziggy Figaro is still in my contacts list.

@MitchWagner At least I built my own virtual McMansions :)
SL is still out there. Every once in a while I get tempted to drop in.

@thedimpause Love the mostly-synchronized birds. There’s always some character who refuses to get with the program.

@MitchWagner As someone who one threw a Great Gatsby-themed party in Second Life…I resemble that remark.

@nikvaleeva Very nice!

@rom And if you think 8GB is plenty it’s not for you either because you’re already happily running Linux :-P

@MitchWagner Google News, live-updating NYT pages (good for things like war in Iran), The Hill, Google Finance (often picks up stories on the home page faster than News for some reason), Digg (it’s back!). Those sources will get me the general flow of what’s going on. For thoughtful analysis, I depend on BBC and Economist podcasts.

@MitchWagner A few years ago I became a person who eats stewed prunes just about every morning. (Easy to make - simmer 15 minutes with some cinnamon tossed it). I expect to be whacking them with my cane soon enough.

@manton Nice find. I assume it will be ephemeral in the long run (free hosting isn’t all that sustainable) but I would love to be wrong & to see the web get back to its artisanal roots.

@manton I’m torn. On the one hand, I think the Democrat priority has to be to pick whoever polls the best in the general election. On the other, that risks getting people like Manchin or Sinema or Fetterman, who then proceed to do everything they can to prevent change. Glad I’m not in Texas today :)

@manton This photo would fit perfectly in digg.com/liminal (Yes, Digg is back).

@MitchWagner To be fair, the Boy Scouts wing of Scouting (which turned into Scouting America) has always been anti-gay, anti-trans, and anti-atheist. They can just be more open about it now. Makes me glad my life membership is in Girl Scouts instead.

@dwalbert eBird does show multiple sightings at Delta Ponds, where I took that photo. Good enough for me, non-birder that I am.

@miljko The Amazon version was passable. The detailed world-building was very well done. The plot was of course simplified and then amped up a bit for TV purposes, and the ending was a complete dud, but all in all it was worth the time to watch.

@manton Thanks for dealing with this. Confirms my resolution to never, ever run a server again.

@Mikehendley You don’t know me, but I’ve enjoyed your amazing art. Hope all turns out well.

@ExtralocalYokel They are cute, but if you ever live with them…well let’s just say we were happy when the coyotes got the last one and the blessed non-squawking silence descended.

@gregmoore Well thanks! Kinda cheating to live in Oregon with spare time, but I’m happy to share.
