Yes I believe him, dressed up like a member of The Specials (maybe sax 🎷 player?), and those punk rock skateboarder Vans that he's sporting with the suit.

Even the Sex Pistols were bankrolled merely to showcase their manager Malcolm McLaren's clothing boutique at 430 King's Road in London.

One of my exes was a pre Goth death metal chick with relatively short pink hair and that pasty white corpse like makeup in a different, classy lingerie ensemble everyday of the week ( It helped that she worked at Frederick's on Hollywood Blvd).

If what John Waters is quoted as saying has any weight (and I believe he's spot on) it's that the antisocial movement of the previous decade will be largely found to be insignificant and forgotten because they had no particular and unique fashion sense of their own to remember them by.👋💀

One of my special versions of Thai food - pure awesomeness. Between the jalapeno and Serrano peppers it'll sweat the Satan right out of you, cure what ails you, and set you back on track with complete yumminess!

Thai food is also one of the famous GoTo's for when you're trying to recover from an illness and you need your fever to break.

ProTip: When you catch octopuses, make sure to drop them into a bucket of fresh water - they have no osmoregulatory system, so they can't stop the onslaught of fresh water rushing through their cell membranes to equalize with the salinity in their body. They're pretty much instantly (a couple of minutes, actually) tenderized as a result of the cells in their body exploding, which makes for all sorts of delicious possibilities - like Octopus Spaghetti sauce, another one of my personal favs.

But nothing, and I mean nothing, tops this dish, except maybe getting something very similar to it at an actual Thai restaurant, ... Nah! It's better when you cook it at home and only takes a few minutes. You can queue up a movie and uncork a bottle of wine... Fine romantic evening.

Reprinted from the Fediverse-City Matrix room, with permission from the author (myself):

I was just participating in another discussion elsewhere on the connotations and perceptions relating to a global feed of the entire known Fediverse, as it pertains to what various platforms call it (in their selector tabs).

Lots of suggestions, and every platform uses a different nomenclature. Some use 'global', some use 'live', and there's a few others as well that try to convey that type of extremely busy feed.

But then I touched on the subject of Local feeds - not all Fediverse platforms utilize this type of concatenated feed. I related that the Hometown fork of mastopub was [at least one of] the first to incorporate this as both a feed, and a type of post that is localized to only that particular instance.

I also, because I've read his contention, included the Dev's reasoning on having such a utility as a feature - because he intended Hometown to be a Fediverse platform that could encourage a Highly localized "community".

So you can select the other various, common types of scope for a post when making a post, as well as posting something that is only viewable to other users on your local instance - thereby supporting the 'local community only' aspect that has eluded and mostly deluded users on other platforms.

Why "deluded", because having a Fediverse account in the minds of most folks coming from the deprecated, monolithic silo space is something that has been heavily promoted by Fedizens as one of the reasons why it's better to use the Fediverse instead of those impersonal deprecated silo systems.

And that's simply not true.

Take me, for example. I have several accounts and interact using them with different circles of people (I won't get into the power of recursive circles as they were implemented in gplus). So I'mma just use mastodon.social, one of the biggest monolithic-like silo instances in the Fediverse, as an example here.

People there, most often n00bs from the November Rain or later) talk about the sense of "community" they have there, when they're really only speaking of the connections they have by following and being followed by not just people on that instance, but across the entire Fediverse.

The sense of community that almost everyone in the Fediverse perceives is mostly a compilation of the follows and followers that they each have, and is unique to themselves alone.

For example, I prolly know 4 or 5 people on each instance I have an account on. My community is comprised almost entirely of the direct connections I have made with others across the Fediverse at large, and yes, people on platforms with 'local-only' feeds to see my posts, know them to be local, but so do folks on other instances watching their 'global feeds' (or home feeds where someone they follow includes a follow of my account).

So to me, in my experience, my community is comprised of those who I've made connections with and the people they are connected to, with very little traffic from the local instance I am on at any given time.

To think that you're going to have a community on mastodon.social consisting of people primarily from that instance is a bit naive, IMO, coz your default feed grows exponentially with foreign user's posts the more you connect with anyone - not just the people you follow that are local to your instance. You see something, you interact because it's interesting, pertinent, or relevant to you - you don't do that because you've discerned that you will only interact with local accounts... that just ain't natural, human tendency.

So the creator of the Hometown fork realized that one type of vehicle in the feature set to mark this kind of delineation was that of the ability to post and see in your feed, local only posts, with the overt assertion that Hometown is a fork that in part, is a platform that can facilitate the social diaspora consisting of a 'mostly local' community.

Even entire instances, named or stated as localized geographically or topically, as having publicly open registrations miss this mark in a big way - people for whatever reason, want a Fediverse account, pick a host/instance, by whatever criteria, and then inadvertently end up creating their own diaspora of social connections across the entire Fediverse anyway.

nostr, Bluesky (when it eventually fully supports other instances), Threads (yeah, I know, it's a bastard, lolz), Minds, and other, bigger instances or monoliths, don't try to capitalize on this notion of "Your instance is your community" because overwhelmingly, it just isn't the case in reality.

I'm not saying that there aren't Fediverse instances are successful in cultivating small communities consisting of connections with others on those particular instances, but the most successful of those are the instances that have actually disabled Federation on those instances, lolz.... There's lots of examples of that, which is kewl - to each their own.

But the tendency of everyone to follow the Ew! Shiny! paradigm of simply liking and following what you like irrespective of whether it's on your local instance or not is the lions share of how people interact with each other.

Your thoughts, observations?

Questions always follow after such, 'salty talk', or 'nautical nomenclature', or in #Star_Trek terms, #technobabble.

What's the difference between a mizzen topgallant sail and a main royal staysail? Just a few rules is all it takes, but in today's world, one need only avail themselves of the basic Marconi rig on a single masted sloop. There's a mainsail (the big triangular one aft of the mast), and a jib, or foresail. Typically, when speaking about a jib (the one forward of the mast), people will typically categorize them into about three classes:

• a #Genoa (big one - low wind conditions)
• a #Jenny (also called a #working_jib for most wind conditions)
• a #Storm_jib - smallish, for reduced sail area in high and gale force winds.

If you're rigged to run one jib, you're a #sloop; two, and you're #cutter rigged.

tl;dr: Unlike elections, rigging is a good thing. Without standing rigging you have nothing to hold your masts up in place and they'll just snap or fall over. Without running rigging you have no way to control your sails, hoist them up, or catch the wind.

So when it comes to sailboats, it's a very good thing that they're rigged :p

#tallship #silly #rigging

Don't trust those "little buddy heaters" and their cousins of having CO2 sensors and low #Oxygen cutoffs that their marketing indicates you can bank your life on.

You can fucking die.

I used a few of these for several years, when I lived completely off-grid, in the mountain wilderness far from the nearest humans.

They're really convenient and quick to heat a small area, or anything close to them, in just a few minutes, and you can pick them up at any Target, Walmart, Big 5, Tractor Supply, Etc., for $40 - $50.

Basically, you warm your environment, sitting on your cot and warming up your feet and toes before turning it off and burrowing into your subarctic bedding. You can leave the pilot going all night so all you need to do is twist and click it on on the morning, but seriously, why bother?

Sharp (and more importantly, observant) girl in the video - although there's no way to be sure, she just may have saved the lives of everyone in that fricken' tent.

@ChrisWellens

The short answer is that, "It's not about the air purifier - it's about getting you to install something that tracks and quantifies you, and data mines your privacy."

In this case, you're not getting something for free - like Faceplant or InstaSPAM, you're actually paying money for the exclusive privilege of making yourself the product.

On another note, I feel your pain. I was almost incinerated in the #August_Complex fires in #Humboldt.

Here's s lolz moment...

Just watched a #Techlore video at #Odyssee on yesterday's events concerning "Linus Tech Tips" channels getting pwn3d.

I didn't realize there were a few million followers. I stumbled upon that YouTube Chan a few months ago when they held a, "Use a Linux distro exclusively for a month" challenge, and from install to completion of assignment those #Bozo's continued to hard fail all over the place for the entire duration... We're talking serious #boneheads!

Not a good thing for #FOSS and #Linux Advocacy considering their massive viewership... which made me think...

Are they really that freaking stupid?

Remember, stupid goes all the way to the 🦴 bone!

Well... Apparently they are! They've been pwn3d - hard fail boiz, hard fail lolz.

NOTE: They were #pwn3d through a simple #SIM_Swap #MFA (SMS) exploit. From what I understand, All of their videos were replaced with #CryptoBruh phishing videos.

A most remarkable half hour - sail from Hamburg around Cape Horn in the worst of all weathers, in 1920. Narrated by your cameraman, often filming from aloft.
