That plus the handful of people I personally know that are various forms of activist or just interesting, with whom I wouldn't stay in touch the same way if they were on blogs, email newsletters or IM groups.

What fb got right apart from capturing the network effect at the right time and place was that it struck a balance between blog, microblog and forum that neither MySpace, Twitter, Discourse nor even Friendica/Hubzilla/Streams have. Google+ came very close before they suddenly gave up. Diaspora might be the closest thing still running.

I don't even know exactly what it is. Maybe it's actually just G+/Friendica/Diaspora but with more people and with my uni acquaintances.

"This group has devolved into a constant stream of puerile, sophomoric, potty jokes run by a bunch of woke little girl commie admins. Keep up the good work."

Obviously fb gets a lot of stuff wrong, even doing evil, and I'd like to get out of there, but they accidentally also host a couple of groups with posts like the above and I don't know how I would move all those hundreds of thousands of people over to fedi. 😔

S2 was satisfying. Now watching S3.

I love that the Flash is more social worker than cop to at least some of his rogues.

Oh, my sweet child.

Thank you, #MatPat !

Thank you for the last 13 years and whatever comes next, your projects already in incubation sound absolutely amazing.

Thank you for this beautiful and personal sendoff.

I didn't know there was a satisfying followup to "the square hole"!

Here the frustrating one and the satisfying one put together.

"The Original Square Hole Girl Video + The Redemption"

Unrelated to this week's dreams, last week I had a dream sequel, which has only happened once or twice before in my life, and then it has been nightmares. This time it was not a nightmare. In fact, I've had almost no nightmares I can remember after the age of 12.

In this dream series I was planning and setting up a party, but couldn't finish before the dream was over, so the next night me and my dream pals continued and finished putting up decorations and so on, and I woke up satisfied.

I had a fever for a bit in the middle of this week, which made for a disrupted sleep schedule and some very interesting #dreams, which sadly dissipated before I wrote them down. I only remember that I enjoyed thinking back on them as I woke up and that I found them interesting.

I know that one of them had a song and dance number that I was sad not to be able to remember the details of as I was waking up.

I believe it likely that Ryan George saw kevincomics.com/comic/the-side… some time in the last 11 months. 😊

NO YOU GOTTA MONETIZE THAT LITTLE DOODLE THIS IS THE DREAM

#RyanGeorge turned his hobby into a hustle so that he could deliver this message that you don't have to.

He monetized for our sins.

> The [Global Energy Monitor (GEM)] report shows Indonesia had 18.8 gigawatts of coal power considered under construction by the end of 2022.

> This amount exceeds all other countries except China and India. It’s also nearly half of Indonesia’s current coal capacity, which stands at 40.6 GW.

> Most of these new coal plants, 13 GW or 69%, will be “captive” plants, meaning they won’t feed into the grid, but will instead be dedicated to powering industrial or commercial consumers. These include the aluminum smelters and nickel and cobalt processing facilities that the government is promoting to turn Indonesia into a global hub for the electric vehicle (EV) and battery supply chains.

Ok, not that huge a number. 😃

I didn't see any comic strip, which my memory tells me I've seen at some point, and which I was looking for.

Probably an original source!

A specific instance announcement, but contains some general background:

"With the new restrictions on the Reddit API taking place, tedd.it's access to Reddit and its content has been severely limited, effectively rendering the site unusable for more than a handful of users. This is the cause for the "429 Too Many Requests" errors you see lately."

"Tedd.it serves thousands of users every month, and is hosted, maintained, and paid for out of my own pocket. I cannot possibly afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars that Reddit now demands for access."

@Martin Hoffmann Yeah, Sweden has some of these too. The phone directory 118118 and the medical device hotline 1177 each have their corresponding .se website.
