Keep in mind the Republicans are evolving beyond Trump, and this New Right is a real threat.

Case in point, that story earlier this week about Republican thinks tanks funding anti-education, anti-trans, anti-race mixing efforts, which stokes their culture war in ways that have and will continue to provoke real people to act in violent and harmful ways.

Nothing to add, but this is a wildly distopian thread.

But I need sunscreen or my stupid Irish skin will turn into a big lump of cancer anyway.

I'm in Austin Texas. We got this guy around mid spring and it was bright pink. We've tried full direct light, bright indirect, half and half, putting it indoor and outdoor. It's pretty much all green now. How do we get that pink back?

Anyone have the backstory here?

Why be frustrated? This person just saved you a boring evening.

This is probably two thirds of the vehicles I see in Austin... which probably has the worst drivers of any city I've lived in.

I was recently asked by my employer if we should move our social media efforts to fediverse and my recommendation was that this community it's both too small and also would be hostile (rightly) to corporate empty posting.

As soon as threads has a web interface that's usable I will be starting up there...

You put your recycling in the blue can, compost in the green can and your corporate garbage on Meta.

I'm currently wait listed. Is there a way to get Boost now?

SA vs Fark vs Ebaums all over again. Can't wait.

Most of us are Reddit refugees, and probably clicking more random links than we ever did before on websites we've never seen before. This whole experience feels like the old internet, but also throws up insane red flags with a modern internet perspective. What are the cybersecurity weaknesses we should all be looking for, and what are the best practices?

Here's my reason for posting this. As I search for new communities across instances to follow, I sometimes end up clicking a link and I'm no longer logged in. In the corner, that could be a Sign In link or it could be phishing. It's likely due to me not understanding how to properly navigate this system, but there's nothing stopping someone from setting up a sight like this as far as I know.

Thoughts?

Calm, peaceful, and if we're honest, still a little buggy.
