    I never heard the "gays walk fast" stereotype before. I used to walk about 7 miles in an hour and forty-five minutes, a little faster than the average at the time.

    My sons and their mothers used to joke about my walking speed, but it had nothing to do with sexuality. At one point I lived 7 miles from the supermarket and 13 miles from the campus ... and I walked to and from both locations frequently.

    Local news seems to be synchronized. One week it will be fatal car crashes, the next week robberies or kidnapping.

    @clacke Since I first heard this RHEL news, I have wondered whether IBM Red Hat's aim was to disarm Oracle (at one point, Oracle Unbreakable Linux was a downstream distro).

    After Red Hat announced they would no longer be providing the general public with exact sources for RHEL packages, first Oracle reaffirmed their commitment to source releases for their RHEL-compatible distro, and now, somewhat surprisingly, independent vendor SuSE says they will start maintaining a RHEL-compatible distro too.

    One of my brothers has a friend named Pete. They were friends in high school and they reconnected when there were attending the same college with the same major and working at the same place in the evenings.

    In the last 40 years, Pete has attended more family events than I have. When he texts, he talks about the things going on "in our family".

    Pete is okay. I like him.

    #Meta #Facebook's #Instagram service has a new mobile app that directly competes with #Twitter, called #Threads. Threads, with 100M users after 5 days is the fastest growing mobile app ever, according to https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/instagram-threads-twitter-users-elon-musk-million-b2372336.html [www independent co uk]

    One hundred million downloads & signups, but I wonder how many have posted at least once. I'd like to see their monthly active users number when it comes out.

    It is Saturday, so I tried to call #A1.

    "The mobile number you dialed cannot accept calls at this time. Goodbye."

    Things developers believe about shipping addresses:

    - Addresses worldwide look like yours.
    - Addresses have any kind of standard format whatsoever.

    I have been eagerly waiting for a parcel for weeks. Now I found out it had been returned to the sender in Europe, because half of the address lines didn't make it into the shipping order.

    My address looks like this

    Flat N, XX/F, Tower YY, Some Residential Complex
    Z Some Street, A District
    Hong Kong

    The address the shipping company captured was:

    Flat N
    Z Some Street
    A District
    Hong Kong

    That matches two residential complexes , a shopping mall, a management office and a bunch of street-level shops, of which one residential complex has 600 flats N, the other, I don't know, maybe 100 flats N.

    The seller kindly shipped it again and this time I noticed the fragmentary address in the mail from the shipping company. I hope it can be updated so that I'll get my precious goods.

    I was wondering why it was taking weeks when it was supposedly by air.

    Also, tracking just said "left country of origin" for three weeks, nothing more.

    To be fair, the !StatusNet network that Evan was running became unmanageable -- it cost too much to run, and I think Evan was funding most of it himself (although there were/are a number of paying #StatusNet customers). Evan developed #PumpIO to reduce the number of servers needed to run a federated network, and purposely kept the UI to a minimum to encourage federation. Sadly, that didn't work. Porting identi.ca from StatusNet to PumpIO was intended to introduce people to PumpIO as well as reduce Evan's costs. That partly worked; identi.ca is alive and well as a community, although much reduced from its glory days around 2013. But the #bifurcation did spawn a large number of new StatusNet / !GNUsocial instances, so that was a good thing too. But you're right in that PumpIO never gained widespread traction, the proof of which is in its lack of continued development. In that respect #GNUsocial and !OStatus are more successful than PumpIO

    > Hearing anecdotes like this really helps me appreciate that my kid has never "existed" at 6 am unless I forced him to.

    The earliest that I ever saw mine awake was around 06:45 ... again, unless forced to awaken early.

    The Iris #Nostr client on #Android now has a "block and mute" function, so I've started using that against the #spambots.

    Nostr has some great ideas that are way beyond what either #OStatus or #ActivityPub branches of the #Fediverse are doing, but the spam and the fact that there's a really big #Bitcoin "Maxi" faction there are chasing regular people away.

    In the US, companies use #USPS's own address filtering program, which has its own errors.

    (Examples include State Route X replaced with US Highway X ... which doesn't sound bad, but US Highway X is halfway across the country, so occasionally an item cannot be delivered.)

    (For those outside the USA, USPS = US Postal Service. There's also a package shipping company called UPS that is not owned by the US government.)

    Wondering whether I want to try "MocaccinoOS":{https://www.mocaccino.org/} Desktop on this laptop. Currently, it runs a #Ubuntu flavor ( #Kubuntu ) and snapd randomly starts up and OOM kills my browser and mail client, so I want something that doesn't have Snap installed by default.

    Actually, I think the two #bots were around for part of #GNUsocial after the #bifurcation split the network into #OStatus (mostly GS) and #Pump.io

    So #Nostr. I don't post a lot, and I only follow a few folks. But even so, it seems like the majority of the "engagement" I get is spam replies from crypto bot accounts.

    "The so-and-so protocol airdrop is going on now! Visit our Telegram to claim your free $TOKEN"

    If your bot isn't @X11R5 or @Question (both gone since the StatusNet days), I don't want it to reply or tag me unless I specifically tag it first.
