Both dog and cat currently at vet getting their gonads removed. There was a lot of pressure to do it - esp from other dog owners - but I had read up a lot of counter-arguments, mostly from Scandinavian countries (in Norway it's illegal to neuter dogs). This was why I sat on the fence about it for 5 years.

But since the dog's aggression towards other dogs was getting worse, and since we had already arranged to get his kitten bro's balls removed, better at the same time... https://social.coop/media/-JGeSaWW2xTUTatanM4

I've decided I want a country song called "Console Cowboy" about tractor hackers.

@bob I have this feeling that blockchain technologies will move in the following directions:

a) bitcoin will stick around but people will give up on it being a currency... instead it'll be an e-gold value store to back other currencies
b) blockchains are not unlike signed git logs. Why are we trying to put everything in one repo? Instead the multi-repo approach, along what DAT and SSB are doing, will become more popular (with maybe consensus of "latest values" in one big chain")

nearly every site has a "tweet this" button. is it possible to have a "toot this" button? idek what that link would look like.

Are there any halfway decent books etc on the Seattle WTO protests and/or Occupy? That are reasonably easy to get hold of?

I'd especially be after anything that incorporates accounts from people who were there.

One million people quit Facebook in Q4 2017! #GNUSocial for the win!

I want to make one thing very clear regarding #fosdem2018 #fosdem

A conference on freedom-and-human-rights-respecting technology should not have a titan of #SurveillanceCapitalism like Google as sponsor. The good people in our community shouldn’t have to choose between having a platform to meet up at and having their legitimacy usurped by association to whitewash such companies. I’m attending under protest to meet and chat to some lovely members of the community.

Google doesn’t belong there.
