I sometimes thought my father thought he could't die while he still had books on his pending pile (a stab at immortality I seem to be replicating)... so, it was strangely touching to see Tom Gauld has had similar thoughts.

@bookstodon

Cartoon: man talking to ghost - frame one: Man, 'I thought you'd died' Ghost (reading a book), 'My life has ended but I cannot pass over to the spirit realm when so much remains undone' frame two: Man, 'you mean all these books you bought and never got round to reading?' Ghost (floating next to a full/overflowing bookshelf), 'It won't take long, there are fewer distractions when you're dead'. frame three, A few months later: Man, 'Is it me or are these piles getting bigger?' Ghost (now surrounded by books), 'My library card still works, but once I I've read these I'll start on the ones in the attic'.

    Hypothetically, if you burned out so hard that you quit your job with no backup plan and your options were either look for a new job immediately knowing you're not over the burnout yet, or move somewhere cheap but miserable and take as long as you need, what would you pick?

    ScottStarkey ,
    @ScottStarkey@hoosier.social avatar

    @malwaretech

    I hate that choice.
    I picked choice number 3, stay in the job for many years in the terrible job so I could get insurance for my family at low pay, paying with PTSD and mental health issues.

    Given those two choices, I'd probably pick looking for a new job.

    When I was unemployed last year, I think I could have made it on a low salary low stress job. Medicaid seemed to be working for my wife and me. I'm in my 50's so I/we might be able to coast with a Lean-FIRE strategy.

    In December, we started to federate the accounts of some Flipboard publishers and in February, we introduced Magazines to the fediverse. Now, we’re taking two important steps: federating the accounts of 400 creators and expert curators; and enabling two-way communication so that new followers and fediverse activity are visible and actionable in the Flipboard app.

    To learn more about this, take a look at our blogpost:

    https://flipboard.medium.com/flipboard-federates-11-000-magazines-by-400-creators-and-enthusiasts-82dd94691f74

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iUFTo6rPvhqzCReLaM1c6-xUKRuBVqlZVStZl9Al-EU/

    Thanks so much to everyone who has given feedback on what we’ve done so far. We welcome your thoughts and comments as we continue on our journey to fully federate Flipboard.

    Yes. There are only four possibilities, depending on your political leaning. Only two possibilities of you're liberal.

    1. Liberal, vote for Biden. Helps Biden.
    2. Conservative, vote for Trump. Helps Trump.
    3. Liberal, don't vote for Biden. Helps Trump.

    Ideally I would like liberals to do 1, and conservatives to do 4. But I'm biased.

    What does it mean to federate your Flipboard profile? In the simplest terms, it means that whatever you curate (aka share) on Flipboard will be "syndicated" out to the fediverse with no extra effort. @miaq tests it out and breaks it down.

    I'm not OP, but seems like a sort of a link aggregator (called "flips"). You can keep your own links (publicly or privately) and follow other people's curated links, and comment on them.

    A little bit like a or - except the links are emphasized more than the conversation.

    I didn't know how to federate my links, though. So this article is interesting!

    On a similar note, my in-laws just got a new computer and asked me to set it up for them.

    I was not familiar with the new "S mode" in Windows until today. Apparently Microsoft only allows you to install approved software unless you turn off S mode.

    How easy is S Mode to find? Well they buried it pretty deep. And they warn you, if you turn off S Mode, it's gone forever. And there's a confusing dialog box with "Get". Is turning off S Mode something you "Get"?

    Dialog box for switching off S Mode in Windows 11: "Switch out of S mode. You may want to think twice about switching out of S mode. Especially if performance and peace of mind are your top priorities. S mode was designed for security, speed, and simplicity -- offering thousands of Microsoft-verified apps and Microsoft Edge, the fast and safe web browser. Please note, you will not be able to return to S mode once you've switched." The button says "GET".

    Hard to overstate how enshittified and botshitted Google Maps has become. Went looking for my local locksmith on Gmaps. Maps shows 20+ fake locksmith referral scam outlets and doesn't even register the real locksmith, despite it being fully visible in Street View.

    Instead, a red pin on the shop identifies it as a fake locksmith scammer. The real locksmith - which has been there SINCE 1942 (!!) and is a verified merchant - doesn't even show up.
