 Did you ever think you'd have to describe yourself as an anti-fascist in 2023.🙄 
 @3967703f I guess it depends on what you mean by “ever.” It hasn’t really surprised me since November 2008 
 It had been so long since I had shaved that I had to reset FaceID on my phone when I was done :/ 
 A while ago I had talked about rogue TikTok calls from my phone after removing the app. 

Well, with a new phone, and the same installed apps, they're gone. At this point I'm confident saying that TikTok had installed something deeper on the phone that persisted long after the app was removed.

 @b05df304 Eh. I want convos on the shit people like. I want to see pets, weird niche hobbies, weird vices. I’m tired of dank. 
 I love y’all on here but. Damn. Sometimes I just want to talk about the good parts of life without having to get a dose of doom. 
 Oh look, I have to manually delete entries from my iCloud Keychain again as they’ve gotten corrupted… must be a day that ends in “y.” 
 Epic Games is both laying off 16% of its workforce AND selling Bandcamp. This is not good news. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/28/epic-games-is-eliminating-16percent-of-its-workforce-and-selling-bandcamp.html 
 Really trying to get caught up on a lot of things this week before the real craziness starts next week. Wish me luck! 
 If fascists take over the nation, will you inform on your neighbors relatives and friends? 🤔 
 @3967703f The thing that scares me most about this is I really think it's "when," not "if." 
 COVID booster: complete. 
 With all the stuff going on I’m trying to resist the urge of switching my phone number to a Chicago area code as I really don’t want to be at all associated with Florida but… that’s probably a bad idea, at least for a few weeks yet 
 After years of using my Yubikey and my GPG key for SSH/GIT I’m thinking of switching that to using 1Password’s newer features for the same. Anyone doing that? Thoughts on the approach? 
 Why is Elon in control of military satellites and social media for the fucking United States of A... 
 @3967703f Next up: destroyers operated by NCL? 
 If nazis could be rehabilitated, would we be here right now.🤔 
 @3967703f Shit... forget nazis... what about conquistadors or whatever shitheads were before them?

 @3967703f I truly hate our medical system.

And I'm really glad to hear you found him what he needs and hope you don't have to fight it again next month. 
 nostr:npub10ltl3pugxhk4ht9parv2gs7fwedthv9af6epmn7au7gx7z70rv0spcvh2u 😃 Yeah, you have to know... 
 @3967703f Nice. I get it. Also... I hope you've found a source for your dad's meds at this point! Geezus!

 @3967703f HA! You're a better person than I. I'm just glad I’ve learned my limit with all that now though :) 
 I want humans to answer my questions, so I'll always hit the "0" key until someone answers. Fuck ... 
 @3967703f I do this every phone call too. I have so little patience for support calls in general though that usually my wife steps in. I know it ain't the fault of the person on the other end of the line but... damn I have no patience for shitty companies and it shows way too quickly on most calls.

 @3967703f I think of this every time I see someone defend the bigots in FOSS because they're "being nice."

 @feld I thought so too but... oh well. Maybe if I had played with it some more it would've worked again but resetting it was just easy at that point.
