Neighbor complimented us about our freshly-pruned lawn.
Is this... what... adulting... feels like?

Jack, keep the spambots, my follower numbers are dying.

Uh.
Um.

I think I’ll keep using Masto as my primary, yeah.
re: birdsite
I often quip that my primary motivator is to make exciting things boring (I write security hardening software). I never thought I’d need to advocate so strongly for that in discussion software, too.
re: birdsite, pol-adjacent
Update: just read that Jack and Twitler sat down for a meeting today to discuss “the health of the public conversation on Twitter”. Not touching Twitter again in light of that news.

The knight and the dragon fought.
"Hold!" the princess called. "Why do you fight?"
They looked ashamed, and the princess spotted two trampled bouquets.
"Were those for me?"
The knight and the dragon nodded.
"Girls," the princess said, smiling at them, "what if I date you both?"

@KitsuneAlicia@octodon.social Very satisfying: having him spawn in Derelict or Void and walking him into laser beams. Apparently they melt him.
Makes me wish more tilesets had them. I will be using that to try to farm his blueprint, though.

Last week I saw someone recommend rev.com as a way to make money from home by transcribing. Skeptical, I had a look to see if they were legit, and they seemed to be, so I signed up.
There's a small grammar and English quiz, and then a transcription test, to apply. If successful, you can see client transcription jobs and their pay-per-minute, choose whichever jobs you like, work as much/little as you want.

I worked casually for a week, had some very interesting jobs across a variety of fields, some of which were entertaining and educational, and made just shy of $300.
They pay every Monday into PayPal. I wanted to make sure I got paid before sharing it here, just in case - but I got paid today. Hurrah!
So yeah, they're legit. You need to be a decent typist with a good grasp of English language and grammar. They also offer translation jobs.
Sharing for those who can do it and need work. :)

Just as a sample, I've typed up things like teachers meetings re. education in the US, devs talking about cloud computing and blockchain, meetings about disabled access to transport in the US, an interview with Idris Elba, talks about value/worth of drug treatments, a gaming session with a DM and players, interviews with skilled professionals talking about their fields, interviews discussing Apartheid and racism in South Africa...

re: pol, redacted Mueller report (~)
Update: I am a terse skim and 100 pages in, and my brain has turned to powdered mush from so much dry reading.
But this is very, very thorough, and surprising in how well media reporting stood up in the fact pattern laid out by this document.
re: Telegram, part trois
@Taylor So this is mostly me evaluating how safe it is to mingle the data, knowing that the industry I work in might still not be safe. I want to switch industries when I finally make the jump, but I’m not sure if that’ll be viable in the US for some time. So, decisions.
re: Telegram, part trois
@Taylor B isn’t an issue at my current employer. The industry and area at large still have a long way to go in terms of inclusiveness, so it affects mobility.
C is covered by nondisparagement clauses, including one I signed (note how I never talk about my employer directly?). Other orgs have invasive data monitoring practices that they run to check for legal and flight risks from the company, but thankfully my current org does not.

Well, I guess I’m reading this thing tonight. Wish me luck?
Telegram, part trois
@Lingondraken PS: I’m aware of how Telegram normally connects contacts to each other (ie, by phone number in your contacts or theirs). That interaction shouldn’t be happening here, unless they’re pulling data from a different source than phone contacts for the primary account number. Or I missed something in how they handle this integration.
Telegram, part trois
@Lingondraken I went back to confirm their identity later, since I had added them to my block list immediately, and I found the names were no longer ones I recognized.
Which leads me to hypothesize either this is some data integration by Telegram gone awry, or some folks spoofing the contacts interface in some way? Not sure. (2/2)
Telegram, part trois
@Lingondraken I didn’t save the exact text, but I roughly asked the following:
Over the past two weeks, I’ve had two “X has just joined Telegram” messages seemingly from folks that would have my main phone number, but not my Telegram number or contact. I’ve denied the app contacts access on my end since it was first installed and never shared my Telegram number with anyone, which makes this interaction weird — it shouldn’t be in their contacts either. (1/2)
