I... WHAT.

I mean, we're not even sure if they were literal locusts or just carob pods, which were called locusts because of the physical resemblance, but ok, sure, whatever.

I feel like I'm ticking off some kind of crazy end times bingo card somewhere.

If I get a reference to "The Late Great Planet Earth" and a coupon for Jim Bakker's crazy end-times rations, I think I think I'll win a free trip to the Noah's Ark museum or something.

@R.L. Dane 🍵 Regardless, the verses were describing John, a wild man, and not a directive on how we should all eat. Maybe they'll also sell camel hair tshirts with their brand logo? It's crazy what people pull from the Bible and try to apply to their own lives.

Even the footnote in my Bible says "probably Locust beans."

Yeah, this is the cult of all-form-no-substance.

Repeat the same sermons over and over again and never once touch the One who Spoke it.




How my day progresses ...
Time of Day: Morning -> Noon -> Afternoon
Streaming radio: ChristianPowerPraise.net -> ChristianRock.net -> ChristianHardRock.net
Volume: 25 -> 40 -> 70


So one of my goals is to start blogging more. I have two blogs right now, and will have a third soon. Many of these blog posts will be geared toward my Facebook and LinkedIn followers. This is the first of those. I was busy at the end of January and first of February, so I didn't get around to writing a post about Global Switch Day until earlier this week. I just shared it on those awful platforms. I'm also sharing it here.

There is nothing illegal about naming inexperienced people currently accessing sensitive government data at the behest of Elon Musk.

They are:
Akash Bobba
Edward Coristine
Luke Farritor
Gautier Cole Killian
Gavin Kliger
Ethan Shaotran

This is a major security breach.

I have to say, I don't think spreading these names is a good idea. We don't know if these are flunkies or people actually in significant positions.

Mind you, if they are making decisions, we should know their names.

I'm just worried about an innocent person getting doxed. I prefer a presumption of innocence, even if the current govt doesn't share that view.

in reply to 2600 Magazine

The security breach was a direct result of any of this data existing in the first place. Instead of government control should be in the hands of each individual and the resources coming from ones own labor going towards each owns individual purgatives. Those resources should be spent as each of us sees it, not via wealth redistribution schemes of the democrats and republicans whose programs are promoted via special interests of all kinds. If you want to drop bombs on children in the middle east it should come from the money you have worked to earn, not some general pot that is derived from violence (taxes) 60% of the population doesn't agree on.


Spent the evening getting backups running on the new servers. Phew. Also reworked some home networking.

This weekend I migrated all my sites and nearly all my cloud data to outside of the US.

Billionaires are a disease to mankind:

"#Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income

This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent."

what if we we would be able to invent a complete other type of money/payment, so that their billions would be useless. Unfortunately it is just a nice dream.
in reply to stux⚡

This is a Congress problem where no doubt Tesla legally exploited all of the tax-code loop-holes to get to zero.

It's also not the only company that does this.




Finlly hooked up my speakers on my home office desktop (they've been in storage) and now I can work with tunes without headphones. It took way too many years for this to happen.

Now maybe I should get a reasonably decent desktop mic so I don't need to use my webcam's mic.

I really liked that one, even wrote about it on my blog. Great for an afternoon or 2 of fun.
in reply to bbbhltz

@bbbhltz Awesome. I just got back into games recently as a way to unwind and clear my head a bit, but I'm so out of practice that it'll most likely be a few weeks or months of fun. Hell, I'm still stuck on a boss battle of Dadish 2.

Google Maps is run by cowards

Google, on its Google Maps naming policy, back in 2008:

By saying "common", we mean to include names which are in widespread daily use, rather than giving immediate recognition to any arbitrary governmental re-naming. In other words, if a ruler announced that henceforth the Pacific Ocean would be named after her mother, we would not add that placemark unless and until the n

Sudden realization.

Everyone who is seeing the misnaming on the Gulf of Mexico (it does not show for me) should go put in a bug report right now to #GoogleMaps complaining that the #GulfOfMexico has the wrong name. Deny the #fascist movement their power, act incredulous, assert reality.

#Resist. #DoNotCapitulate.

Make it clear that the people who care about this weird #VirtueSignaling are the people who aren't going along with it.

Crazy how some CSS can make Friendica feel new again. And it's a whole lot better than my crappy CSS makeover a couple months ago. #BookFace #Friendica


Just finished taking down my old blinds and putting up curtains in my office.

Been testing out Paralino, a new private (supposedly), end-to-end encrypted location sharing app that has plans to open source the client. And they're planning on offering a degoogled version of the client in the future as well.

And I'm impressed. Impressed enough that I already grabbed a yearly service offer.

Available for Android now, and iOS soon.

I was today years old when I learned that ExpressionEngine was open sourced.

For anyone else that missed it, it happened in 2018.

The most basic protip for using the internet:

Do not write a big chunk of text in a browser input field.

Compose your writing in another app where you can save your progress and have better editing tools. And then when you click the Submit button and there's an error and you lose the text in the form, you still have what you wrote in the other app.

I really do love that Friendica can act as a Bluesky client.


Since my move to Kubuntu I decided to give Thunderbird a run ... and it's drives me absolutely insane that the delete button isn't always in the same place. Why would it move??

The Liberux Nexx (liberux.net/) seems like it could be the #LinuxPhone I've been waiting for (assuming, RK3588s does not burn through that battery in minutes ;-) )

You can follow them @Liberux

(Thanks @awai for the hint!)
