This is great and what I was hoping the Fediverse would turn into.

I was just one person with an idea; an international village adopted it and helped it, making its message go wide.

I want to do this again, but with the Fediverse.

I could start with a 40 minute visual presentation for schools and organizations, demo it, and see where things go. The cool thing is that I’m fully fluent in English, Italian and French so I could do these presentations in 3 languages – wherever people would welcome me.

It’s not going to be easy. But it’s definitely going to be worth it.

Plus comcast and any phone company, specifically AT&T

Could someone explain what this means to non-techy people?

Probably, but I didn’t even know it showed anything when you hover over the arrows. You’d think I would have seen it before. They just did an update at my instance, maybe it triggered something.

It gives the same thing along with percentages on sh.itjust.works. I wondered why they didn’t have it. How long has that been there?

Thanks for letting me know that Qwant is Bing. It’s hard as a typical person to find any info on search engines, so I appreciate the heads up.

I’ve been noticing that they’ve been getting worse and worse myself. I was recommenced Mojeek and Qwant, but I haven’t made the switch yet. I always forget to use them instead.

It is also fun trying to figure out what to do with the stuff you got!

Do you mind expanding on that? Do you get fun food to make food out of, or is it already made food that you have to make into something else?

I was thinking more “inner peace”, but “serenity” really works too. Congrats, it’s awesome to see someone not knowing why they feel great or having the words to describe it. We need to spread the serenity.

Generally, inner peace is defined as a low-arousal positive emotional state coupled with a sense of balance or stability (Cherif et al., 2022).

Low-arousal positive states are those calm and relaxed happy feelings that aren’t extreme or exciting. They include feelings of calmness, serenity, tranquility, and contentment, in contrast to feelings like exuberance, ecstasy, or euphoria. Low-arousal positive feelings come from within and may be more authentic, stable, and durable than high-arousal positive feelings (Dambrun et al., 2012).

I think you might be one of those truly mentally healthy people I’ve heard so little about.

Holy shit, they also cancelled it. Lmao

On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”

That’s interesting and a decent way to do it.

I pay for it, I just read it online. It’s written by the people selling and talks about their lives and issues. It’s pretty great.

It should be like in Hawaii, I agree.

King County doesn’t test for swimming at Lake Union, but thanks for the link.

Edit: Here is a screenshot of where they want us all to swim. Someone called it Goose Beach, lol.

They talk about the logging and such. The problem with following the locals is that their information might be old and handed down OR it might be spot on. I’ve known locals that say one thing and do another as well, where they owned a houseboat and swam in it. I like the idea of being able to read the tests so I can find out for myself with science.

There is a beach by the pedestrian bridge that is heavily used as a beach, even there?

That’s not true in Seattle at all for homeless or down and out. In my experience, it’s only for people who are acting erratic or sketch. We have a newspaper (Real Change) that people sell that makes it easy too. I just give them money and don’t take a paper because I can read it online if I want.

Yes, but our phones are OLED and most TVs sold are plain old LED.
