"Demons'R'Us, how can we help you today?"
"I have a history test today, can an old demon possess me and pass it?"
"Certainly, that will cost a twentieth of a human soul."
"Can I pay with a hamster's soul?"
"Absolutely not! Sacrificing an innocent animal? Shame on you! Good bye!"

"An Indigenous opera singer is bringing back his community's traditions and songs...

The classically-trained tenor used wax cylinder recordings of his ancestors singing in the early 1900s, which had been locked away in the national archive for decades.

Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa — translated as "Songs of the River People" — is sung entirely in Wolastoqey, a language fewer than 100 people speak."

If you ever think your idea is ridiculously impractical, just remember the nuclear pulse rocket is a real idea discussed be real rocket scientists.

And the nuclear pulse rocket is the idea of deatonating dozens of nuclear bombs near a bomb proof wallto generat thrust

#mastoadmin

I'm seeing a bunch of posts today about how hosting a mastodon admin doesn't cost a lot of money, and first I want to say that this is true; you can run an instance on $10-20/mo entirely reasonably.

But I don't want anyone to forget that there is a labor cost in running and maintaining an instance. It's not just pushing a button and feeding in some money, it's also monitoring your server and keeping it secure and handling reports and doing upgrades and all fo that.

what naming scheme do you use for your computers (if any)?

(boost so more people can answer)

Some fool (@crimsonruari specifically) asked if I could bring some of these to @anthrocon@twitter.com - the infamous "Salt Vampire Jizz" candy from the last episode of #KUEC.

When someone says "oh, it's just a few bad apples" (about cops, etc.) remind them that the proverb isn't "it's just a few bad apples but everything else is fine"; the proverb is "a few bad apples /spoil the bushel/".

Who understands tuning? Certainly not this recorder player. 🤷‍♂️

I'm looking for others with #type1diabetes on the fediverse. Just looking for a bit of a support network in this. I would very much appreciate a boost.

If you have it say hi/follow please.

I'm searching for an open-source #ebook reader app for #Android, to replace the Kindle app. I don't really care what formats it supports, so long as #Calibre can convert to them.

But I do want full screen, night mode, font size/color control, etc. Booky McBookface is off to a good start, but not there yet.

There doesn't appear to be much else on #FDroid?

Did you know you can care about climate change and labor rights at the SAME TIME?
