  • I was about to say, there's this thing called PIXELFED!! Thanks for beating me to it! Like with other Federated services there are numerous PIxelfed instances:

    https://pixelfed.org/servers

    and a mobile app for iOS and Android

    https://pixelfed.org/mobile-apps

    As well as 3rd Party Apps - Pixeldroid and Fedilab on the Android side

    Tusker ( I thought that was beer) for iOS.

    And it all works on Mastodon (and related apps) as well

  • You mispelled 42 minutes of doomscrolling. ;-)

  • Right!?! Doesn't this smack of simple jealousy that the professors can't have as much fun as their students? Their lives must be so empty, which explains why others living their best lives, with lovers, friends, and community is so offensive.

  • Thank you, that's most helpful. And no I won't take your words blindly. Trust, and verify. :-) I'll need to make sure my bank/ credit union is on with GNU Taler, tho' it sounds unlikely, at this time.

  • I caught them live once. Truly the Epic Band of Bass!

  • I've been wanting to make a root cellar/ beer cave for years. This looks great!

  • I was imagining something amazing. Drum and Sax like Morphine used to play.

  • That looks awesome! Strong work! More details would be lovely. Thanks for your inspiring post!

  • :-( I wanted an audio link.

  • FedNow looks very interesting.

  • Hellifiknow. I'm just some frog on the intarwebs who wants to learn. :-) Can someone elaborate on GNU Taler?

  • I'm annoyed by Paypal, Venmo (and other similar vehicles) because they use what should be a simple process (one person giving money to another person) to invade our privacy and to siphon value towards billionaires. I'd rather be able to transfer funds with the simplicity and precision of giving the person standing before me a 'fiver'. And without someone else making bank off the transaction, for clarity's sake.

    KYC defined: "The Know Your Client (KYC) or Know Your Customer (KYC) is a process to verify the identity and other credentials of a financial services user. KYC is a regulatory process of ascertaining the identity and other information of a financial services user." https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/wealth-management/know-your-client-kyc/

  • I like GNU Taler because it's privacy preserving for the customer, is Free, Open Source, and is self hosted. And also because it's not a new/ different currency.

  • I've seen Zelle recommended. And as it turns out my bank uses it, as well. From Alternativeto:

    License Model: Free, Proprietary Platforms; Android, iPhone

    Zelle® has partnered with leading banks and credit unions across the U.S. to bring you a fast, safe and easy way to send money to friends and family. Money moves quickly - directly from bank account to bank account.

  • I signed on to https://social.photo/. And I'm sure I had darned good reasons for doing so at the time. LoL With federation, I'm not really sure it matters which instance one signs onto, as long as it's not some tankie/nazi crap, of course. And of course one could self host one's own instance.

    It appears to me that, because of the absence of advertising, it is incumbent upon individuals to 'evangelize' and spread the fedi-gospel. :-D

  • Thank You, BotM! I migrated here from the corporate social medias as soon as I was aware. I'm still transferring my OC over from IG (not an easy task) to Pixelfed. And I use similar talking points to inform people, often about the very existence of a non-comercial social media. Very few people, maybe 2, since July '23 have even heard of the Fediverse. We shall persist!

  • And there are no ongoing studies, clinical trials, etc regarding the existence or non-existence of god. And of course this IS a "shitpost".

  • Literally 300,000 dead US citizens from 45's policies regarding COVID-19 pandemic.

  • "Eugene V. Debs ran, but didn't win.", Captain Obvious. May the next person to run from jail have similar results.

    Eugene V. Debs was in an Atlanta penitentiary, serving a ten-year sentence, when he lost the 1920 presidential election. Two years earlier, Debs, a labor leader, had spoken out against America’s involvement in World War I. He was convicted of violating the Espionage Act of 1917, after the prosecution argued that his antiwar speech obstructed military enrollment. The 1920 loss didn’t come as a surprise to Debs, who had run four times before. His fifth and final run, promoted with a campaign button that read “For President Convict No. 9653,” brought him nearly one million votes, says Claire Jerry, curator of political history at the National Museum of American History. President Harding commuted his sentence in December 1921.
