It's so cold today I've dug out my cosy zebra slippers 😊

I’ve been lying in bed giggling at this for a solid four minutes now.

Szczecin graffiti is something

i guess "do you hate poor people?" would be a little too on-the-nose

Wow, OK, so I guess a lot of folks don't know what Android Auto / CarPlay do and why it's bonkers that GM is dropping it. So, quick explainer:

Car companies generally suck at making software. Everyone complains at how buggy their infotainment screens are, and getting updates for maps etc. is an awful experience.

So, why not just provide a way for your always-up-to-date phone to take over the car's infotainment screen - leaving the software to the people who are good at software?

It's that.

i love how many of the questions on okcupid are just like trying to suss out whether or not you're a classist shithead lmao

"would you date someone with no car?"

"would you date someone in considerable debt?"

"are you careful with money?"

If militaries were for protecting the people instead of for conquest, we'd all be bombing the coal plants in self defence.

Someone needs to rewrite Monopoly™ to allow tenant revolt as a gameplay mechanic.

tfw you exit Hyperfocus Mode and get hit with every status effect ever

A robust alternative to 2FA has to take into account three super common scenarios:

- you are in a foreign city and have been mugged, your wallet and phone have been stolen from you

- you have dropped your keys down the drain

- you are homeless, your phone has just died, and your only computer is a public access library computer running Internet Explorer 6. you are not able to afford a monthly subscription to Bitwarden

So I've been thinking about offer a trans movement assistint service and what that would look like..

So many people want to leave red states and relocate to blue states at a low cost. What would this help look like and what is needed?

Something like someone to help pack and move, carry stuff, then scam Amtrak for free to go from red to blue then help pack unload then connect people to local trans anarchists could be something.

Tho I'm struggling to find accounts of exactly what people who are tryjng to leave their state need.

I'm just spit balling atm so I figured I'd ask cuz there are people on mastadon who likely have a better idea of what kinda help is needed / struggles to overcome

Boosting is also appreciated so I can get ideas from people who don't follow me. And this isn't super theoretical I've moved and helped people move cross the USA like 10+ times now and think I'm decent. Plus I'm constantly in the move too.

Plus I Cary very little so I have lots of room to carry other people's shit.

robots.txt is a standard file that web masters can use to share their stories and poems about robots

holy fuck people, add alt texts - its not that hard.
use cw's - it's not that hard.

be kind - it's not that fucking hard.

I'm just saying, if there was a 13 BILLION dollar grant available to me to build a company to fix all these problems with Mastodon, we could make some massive headway. But I guess instead we'll convince ourselves that these are outlandish, unsustainable monthly costs:
