  Should pet peeves be allowed in public areas, or only trained service peeves?

  RE: https://jawns.club/@skyfaller/115917363561048559 I have made zero progress in building a PAPR stroller because I'm stuck at the "acquire a PAPR" step. Does anyone have advice for specific PAPR models to buy, and/or where to buy them? They seem to run either very expensive or suspiciously cheap, and I have no idea what is trustworthy. #PAPR #CleanTheAir #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #AirFiltration #smoke

  Has anyone participated in a COVID conscious reading group? What did you read / are you reading? Alternately, if you were going to run or join a reading group about the ongoing pandemic, what would you want to read together? #CovidIsNotOver #COVID #ReadingGroups

  Supra-supramaximal inspiration! An exercise that is 100% effective in treating hiccups for everyone who is able to do it (according to the one study we have): > First, exhale completely, then inhale a deep breath. Wait 10 seconds, then—without exhaling—inhale a little more. Wait another five seconds, then top up the breath again. Finally, exhale. Generally, you will find that your singultus is gone. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/02/scientific-hiccup-cures-hiccaway-straw-ssm...

  Relative sent me this pic from a bike path in Middlesex county, and it's possibly the most fedi-coded graffiti I have ever seen. Which one of you did this? #graffiti #bunnies

  I'm a parent with a 9-month old baby looking to chat with other parents. Can you recommend fedi accounts of parents with younger children who talk about parenting? (There may be many silent parents on here.) Bonus points if they ride bikes / avoid cars, are passionate about climate justice, are COVID conscious / interested in public health, or concerned about LLMs & surveillance capitalism (all relatively common on fedi no doubt, despite conditions in the outside world). #parenting #ba...

  Time to discuss self-hosted alternatives to GitHub! First, has anyone simply put a bare git repo on a server somewhere, pushed via SSH, and called it a day? https://idiomdrottning.org/hosting-git-repos Do you really need more than a remote to push to and pull from, for your personal projects? If you've tried this, what obstacles did you encounter and what features did you miss? #GiveUpGitHub #SelfHosting #git #SSH #BareRepos

  @ivaliotes @cwebber There are a decent number of Linux distros that have taken a stand against LLMs, one list is here: https://noai.starlightnet.work/list.html But if they don't have a kernel without slop that they can use, they're either going to have to give up on resisting slop from upstream or make/maintain a slop-free kernel (nontrivial).

  I'll be attending this Philly Mastodon Migration Party a week from Wednesday to represent Jawns.club and invite people to join our server (among other options). There will be several activities to help people socialize while learning the basics of the fediverse. This post may only reach people already on fedi, but if you have friends who are not here yet, this could be a fun way to get them on board, so please spread the word. https://www.phillyethics.org/event-details/zuck-off #Phill...

  I scattered native plant seeds on Sat Feb 21: * Early goldenrod / Solidago juncea * Virginia bluebells / Mertensia virginica * Canadian wood betony / Pedicularis canadensis I scraped at the leaves & dirt and tried to drop seeds into crevices/depressions so they would be protected, while still technically on the surface. I hear these seeds need light to grow and can't be buried deep. Was this too late for cold stratification? #NativePlants #gardening #zone7b #Philly #ColdStrat...

  @jcrabapple Sadly, SimpleX is run by fascists. Just read any post from their lead developer on Nazified Twitter for confirmation, like this post promoting hatred against trans people: https://x.com/epoberezkin/status/1881832239186759841 Even if they weren't fascists, they are a for-profit company that has taken VC funding, which means they would be doomed to become evil in the long run.

  It is currently impossible to bike on Forbidden Drive or the Lincoln Drive trail without a bike specifically designed for this purpose. I saw one guy with enormous tires making some headway, but everyone else with a normal bike gave up and turned around. I walked most of the way with walk assist. The #snow was just too deep and squishy, it was like #biking on a sand dune. The paved #trails should be plowed at least, one guy said they used to plow one lane of Forbidden Drive in the 90s and 00s.
