Afternoon fedizens, we’re doing Monday.

It’s in the mid 80’sF here, so we’re staying inside with the air conditioner. I still have to call Digital Ocean about the Fail2ban issue, but I’ll get that done later this evening. Oh and we’re keeping up with the baseball game. Otherwise, not much, although we are rereading the Quinn Colson books, and I have a question.

Most of the characters in this series are on the low end of the income spectrum. And yet, they all somehow manage to have cowboy boots. Which are expensive. So, I’d like to know how they managed to end up with them.

@_L1vY_ @babumenos It's somewhat more convoluted, but it'll get you out of the block editor.

> (...) Bluesky, the invitation-only Twitter lookalike that launched in beta just a few weeks ago. It’s a corporate product, a comfortable, ready-built house made of sticks, founded by the libertarian weirdo Jack Dorsey, that emerged right on cue to deliver a glossy, brainlessly Twitter-like experience to people, in and out of media, who’ve grown way too accustomed to Having it All, only to realize way too late how they’re the ones who’ve been had.
