Just remembered the occasion when my Youngest child, then aged 8, asked if petrol was vegan.

Their logic was that if it was from the crushed up remains of animals and plants, then it shouldn't be. When a vegan told them that it was ok for a vegan to use petrol they asked how long something had to be dead for before it stopped counting as animal matter.

I would just like to state for the record that the original question was posed before I had drunk any coffee at all and was what instigated the "no questions before coffee" rule.

Hello Fediveres,

I am a 44-year-old software developer who is fed up with meaningless, purely profit-focused work, vibe AI slop, and a Big Brother antisocial networks, that snoops on data at every turn.

I'm looking for a new challenge, true to the motto: #MeaningfulPurposeFirst. Do you have any ideas? Can you help me #boost the word in this great Fediverse?
#FediHire

You are awesome! Thank you so much for all the boosts and the support. Some more details:

If you are going to tonight's 6pm protest in Boston at Park Street, bring friends and mask. Use airplane mode, turn off your phone or don't bring it to disable tracking. Bring a camera if you want to record it. MBTA stations and buses have cameras. Here is an incomplete map of surveillance cameras around Park Street. Get your own map at cctv.masspirates.org

@adele I was reading the page about e-mail on message.casa and your recommendation of POP3 to save server space and it got me thinking about IMAP vs POP3 after years considering POP3 as “that old thing nobody used anymore”.

Seems it was again convenience (sync all devices) and the feeling of falsely “unlimited” storage by Google and friends that trapped us again into yet another dependency.

When people say: "billionaires shouldn't exist" that isn't a call to violence. "Being a billionaire" isn't some inherent property in the way that say, skin color is.

Wealth taxation is a perfectly acceptable way of eliminating all billionaires. That doesn't mean billionaires stop being people, they just stop being billionaires.

The EU will launch the digital euro as a 100% European digital payments system to replace reliance on Visa, Mastercard, and Apple and Google Pay, with the European Central Bank issuing a digital form of cash. It will be built entirely in Europe, have zero transaction fees, instant payments, and strong privacy, giving the EU full control over its payments infrastructure.
