The other thing about #TUR / #DRM in printer cartridges is that some business-class toner cartridges have expiration dates. There may be nothing else wrong with the cartridge except that your company's purchasing folks bought in bulk and you haven't used them all, and the cartridges will still stop working after a certain date.
* TUR = Technical Usage Restrictions. DRM (Digital Rights Management) is just a euphemism to make TUR seem "right".
(Didn't want to divert Andrew's @ajroach42 and Sean's @freakazoid conversation, but I thought this might be relevant information for them, so I posted this separately.) -

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Michabo v0.1. Sources can be retrieved from the Michabo Git repository. A pre-built binary for Mac users has been attached to this post.
I was planning to do a pre-built Windows version, but was unsuccessful in getting OpenSSL to work with Qt on Windows. Help with that is certainly welcome for future releases!
Michabo is a performance-oriented desktop client for Pleroma and Mastodon instances. With the exception of media handling, which is still a work in progress, the client implements most of the features one would expect in a fediverse client.
The primary goal of the client is to bridge between the fediverse and the desktop computing experience. This goal is only partially realized as yet, and I intend to write a more detailed blog soon about how this design goal is ultimately realized.
Michabo is free software, built by the Pleroma community and licensed under the GNU GPLv3 license.
Right now here are Michabo’s primary deficiencies:
No integrated support for viewing attachments (attachments are handed off to external viewers, with your web browser as the ultimate fallback)
Attachments without preview thumbnails are handled suboptimally.
The Attachment Grid Layout System could really still use some love.
Special timelines such as Pleroma’s Direct Messages timeline are not yet supported.
Composing messages with a custom scope are not yet supported (but the scope will be copied).
With that said, I’ve been using Michabo as my primary desktop client for the past few days to fairly reasonable success.
Please report any bugs you encounter to the Michabo bug tracker.

The federation's favorite uncle
I created a backup user at @guizzy in case something happens to my servers and I'm not able to bring them back up while I'm in burgerland for a week in a few days. Because I couldn't possibly make it for a week without my fedi friends! -

Honestly, I look forward to having a good relationship with food and my body. Putting homemade meals together has helped me here I think. -

@guizzy @moonman @lain I don't know anything about the mentioned people, but think about the person that is a really popular athlete or performer (or the person with stunning looks or the one with rich parents) in high school or college: aren't they often not very nice or caring toward others? Isn't it true that most of the people that gravitate toward them are just there to try to absorb a little bit of the popularity? So it doesn't surprise me that many rich and famous people can't hold onto relationships, because they are often really awful people to deal with. -

I've met 4 Fediverse peeps over the years, but every one was because my job sent me to a city near them.
I know that you and @dansup can't be the only ones in Canada. Maybe if you find others, you'll find someone in the same province or maybe even in your nearest major city. -

@anna @wolfcoder i've certainly wondered if we weren't better off starting from scratch.
i wish that i had been involved when the initial drafting of AP happened, back when it was Evan Prodromou and friends. we could have built something much better.
AP only took off in it's current form because Gargron fucked up implementing privacy features incorrectly in OStatus and so needed a way to save face. the ironic thing is that OStatus could have potentially had better security through private salmon endpoints than what we presently have with AP today. this was the original plan with Pleroma until Mastodon went hard for AP. -

@lnxw48a1 @bthall that would be fun!
I just feel so uncomfortable about my future 😅
I either need to accept that things could go terribly wrong and I could end up back at my parents' house, or just keep doing what I've been doing 😅

After a call and several e-mails from a guy from HR that sounded as threatening as the “someone could get hoit” guy in the movies, I no longer have medical coverage. Not that my plan was good for anything more than avoiding tax penalties. -

So far, I've lost about 13 pounds this month! Granted, a good portion of this is water weight, but I've cut out a lot of soda and fried food, instead opting for soups and other light meals.
I've started counting calories and started walking about three miles a day. I'm slowly trying to tweak the diet because I'm currently operating at a somewhat extreme deficit (most diets recommend cutting 500 calories, I've been cutting closer to 1500)
The bigger challenge here will involve finding the right balance between caloric intake and increased exercise. I've got about 60 more pounds to lose before hitting my target weight. -

The reason that single column mode is dissatisfying is because it just consolidates a couple of multi column mode’s columns into one. It still feels like something I’m looking for is hidden from me. -

When I see @dansup “not recommend”-ing the #Yunohost #Pixelfed installer, I’m reminded that I always wonder whether Yunohost should be pronounced “Why you no host” or “You no host” ... one of the great mysteries of the universe, I guess.
.
At least there won’t be someone calling you a heathen worthy of death if you choose the wrong pronunciation. -
