A little update on https://journal.mackuba.eu/2025/03/18/speeding-up-the-firehose/: I've set up a local Jetstream and tested also the async-websocket lib:

close enough
Dr Oz says being healthy is a patriotic duty
Worse, he says they spend 70% of Medicare & Medicaid funds on chronic illness & arenβt βgetting their moneyβs worthβ
This is the quiet part said out loud.
They donβt want to cure chronic illness, they want us to take the blame.
They donβt want to pay.
They arenβt even being subtle anymore. Theyβre making lists of people with autism. They deride those who canβt work or serve in the military.
βWise decisionsβ would be universal healthcare. Universal basic income. Addressing poverty, food deserts and income inequality.
This isnβt βwise decisionsβ, itβs eugenics.

PeerTube results now show up in regular searches on Kagi, plus you can filter videos by "source" to see more PeerTube content.
I'm not really a phonevideo-myself-confronting-politicians kind of guy but, having said that, there's still a Barnes & Noble over on the West Side and Chuck Schumer should definitely come here and do a reading and tell us that, from his very virtuous and "progressive" purview, thisπ is actually bad and let's see what happens.

I am trying to set up a local mastodon server on ip address and http for my high school students. I can't get it working and would love the help of any mastodon admins out there!

Mutual aid request
I've been bedridden for the last 6 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.
Painful as it is to watch, we Americans owe it to ourselves to watch this video and others like it, to get a good look at who we are right now, who we have chosen to be:
We, many of us, have chosen to be a nation where hordes of police and federal agents descend on a woman and her daughter and drag them screaming from a car, slamming the girl's face onto the ground.

People should be out on the streets in droves. Newark, get out there. And where's the governor? Has he addressed this yet?
Via Jose Pagliery:
This is a marked escalation.
It's not just that #Newark's mayor is being criminally charged by #Trump lawyer-turned-prosecutor Alina Habba.
Democratic members of Congress say they were roughed up by ICE agents too. #NewJersey

The Treasury Dept. and DHS have agreed to allow the IRS to share with ICE taxpayer information of certain immigrants. Weaponizing government data vital to the functioning & funding of public goods and services by repurposing it for law enforcement & surveillance is an affront to a democratic society. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/irs-ice-immigrant-data-sharing-agreement-betrays-data-privacy-and-taxpayers-trust
"insert cash," she smirked, backing me into the wall and lifting my chin with her finger, "or select payment type"
Just saw a story about people who make and eat βhuman kibbleβ.
Itβs so far out of my realm of understanding, culturally and socially, to see food as a drag, and something to minimize and productivize.
But I understand that not everyone has access to food as a pathway to connecting with people, culture, community, migrant pasts and shared history.
Food to me is experiencing the world through someone elseβs tastes, sharing a table with people I have never met, being fed by random aunties who love to cook for strangers; and of course all of the shared joy of participating in food-based rituals in the cultures I enjoy being a part of.

Hey folks! I use sendowl.com for fulfillment of my ebook and audiobook sales, and they've just raised my monthly fee from $39 to >$200, which consumes more than 100% of my margin.
Does anyone have PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with an alternative service they would recommend (VERY MUCH NOT looking for hearsay here - just people with their own stores who like their e-asset delivery partner).
What on earth, SoundCloud??

Not new (2023), but this exemplifies Appleβs culture of arrogance and entitlement.
By their logic, the local electric company βfacilitatesβ a large portion of my Apple-device use. They should claim that they created the platform that lets Apple devices exist, and demand a third of their revenue.
What about my ISP? Cellular provider? Router manufacturer? The wires in my walls? The pizza place down the street, for fueling my body as I type?
Institutional delusion.

Devs? More like Divs #amirite?
A novel written in a kind of medieval-y "realistic fantasy" setting with a plot point that a day's ride from the town, deep in the desert, is a field of one thousand mirrors which a lost ancient civilization built for some unknown reason and laid out in a grid pattern. One character is obsessed with figuring out why. The mirrors face the rising sunβ did they worship the sun? Is it devotional? Were they trying to show the sun to itself?
