I just asked a 10-year-old when we should leave to go the store. He shrugged (as he does). I said, "OK, we leave in one millifortnight." He said "I don't think that's a unit of measure." So I ran the unit conversion:
$ units
...
You have: 1 millifortnight
You want: minutes
* 20.16

You're hearing everyone talk about Patreon all of a sudden because we all just got a "our shit is more together but not fixed" email. (I wasn't paid in full last month, and I'm not alone).
If you support someone you know depends on pledges for things which *can't* be delayed (i.e. food, medicine - this isn't me!) you might want to toss a bit extra at them over a more reliable channel if you can for these first few days. Combined with etsy's fuckup, the creative community's on edge a bit.

huh. I'll have to look for that.
brighton's feels like less of a change, at least. last visit to fairport was in aid of a search for some YA stuff the kid wanted. I like the periodical room, I guess.
will be fun to see what henrietta does with their new one.
Coffee & Aspirin
which branch?
it's been a while, but I try to get around to the various branches. would be interesting to look at that one w/ your comments in mind.
so many outright new, replacement branches have been built. Brighton, Webster & Fairport are the renovated ones that come to mind.

Maybe this is the real spark that ignites in people. It's not so much that they care about being tidy, it's that they are sick of performative passion, but instead seek permission to pursue joy.

Dumb TVs FTW. I'm never going to buy a "smart" TV if I can avoid it.

I say this warning now because your fediverse instance's SSL certificate expiring is fatal as it stops all inbound federation traffic.
It is also one of the most common federation failure modes I have observed in my time here on the fediverse.

WTF Signal. Now I get nagged by my phone telling me first that Chrome won't work without an update of Google Play Services, now it's Signal. What's next?
How can I get rid of this shit? I do not have a Google account not do I want any. #fuckoffgoogle

I just went to the hacker space #xHain in #Berlin to find people who would be willing to help me port #Signal to the #Librem5. They told me that they wouldn't use signal since it doesn't federate.
At least they're even more ideological about their choice of chat app than me, that doesn't exactly happen often :)
