I'm starting to think maybe Elon isn't the 'free speech absolutist' he claimed to be.

Honest question; why would someone need a touchscreen, or a display at all beyond a battery indicator, on their earbuds case?

I use fish mainly just for the quality of life increase that its predictive features and command history give. I also really like that it uses functions to play the role of aliases, and it's super easy to write and save new functions on the fly.

That said... I haven't put in the time to really learn its nuances and I still write shell scripts using bash. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it works for me.

It started off pretty well but all day today I've been fighting with my health insurance (again) because they have decided they don't want to cover an essential medication that my partner has been on for years (again). Things are moving forward, our primary doctor just gave us over a month's worth of samples so we won't run out while we fight, and they are compiling documentation to make a case. I've never had to fight to have meds covered like I have with our prescription provider this year, it's the worst. I had to fight them earlier this year to get them to cover long-acting insulin. Insulin! Ridiculous.

Other than that, can't complain.

I really enjoy the community here on Beehaw, even though I mostly lurk and rarely post/comment. I do support Beehaw and will stay even if the platform changes. That said - and I speak only for my own experience here - I don't subscribe to any categories outside of Beehaw itself, just because (a) I know how the fediverse can be, and (b) there's a LOT out there, and I like the simplicity of a smaller community. For those reasons, adopting a whitelist would not impact my experience on Beehaw much, if at all. Wanted to say this in case it resonates with other users. Thanks for all you do.

Never say Boebert three times.

Looks like a certain candidate may find himself double-booked on March 4.

This is really weird. The AI stuff is weird, but also, this zoo is local to me, and it's weird that somewhere just up the road a bit is making national news because of this. I've fed their giraffes many times; I haven't been there since the spotless one was born, though.

I have a pretty straightforward solution. I keep a text file called 'todo' in my Syncthing sync folder, and I added 'cat Sync/todo' to my Fish greeting.

Jenna Ellis, a lawyer who assisted Mr. Giuliani in his efforts to keep Mr. Trump in power after he lost in 2020, expressed frustration over the looming legal costs a few days after her indictment in the case. “Why isn’t MAGA, Inc. funding everyone’s defense?” she asked last week on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Oh look, a crack in the wall.

 

Hello all,

So I thought I would share this here for anyone who may be seeking community. SBT is a virtual Sangha founded by Ven. Tenzin Tarpa, a monk in the Tibetan Gelug tradition, with the distinction of being nominally secular in their approach.

I am a member, though I don't meet with the group very much because of some baggage attached to my relationship with group practice, even a secular one (I'm an ex-Hare Krishna... suffice to say that damage was done).

Still, I am very much in support of their work, they have daily meditations and weekly classes, if someone here could benefit from that, I thought I would share.
