Hearing reports that Intel is looking at massive layoffs, "up to 20%"

Dear @libreoffice - read the room, please. Blockchain is NOT something your wider community is interested in. To put it friendly. Putting out a blog entry trying to raise interest in Blockchain and LibreOffice is so badly timed that I am astonished it even made it through your editorial process.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Thanks Jan. We'll update the post to say that we get the feedback, that the majority of the community doesn't want to explore this area, and we won't pursue it. It was genuinely well-intended, perhaps naive, but we've seen what people think.

It cost a Twitter user $8 to impersonate pharma giant Eli Lilly, losing the company billions in stock value.

It also costs $10 to make a vial of insulin that uninsured people pay up to $400 for because three price-gouging pharmaceutical companies control the U.S. insulin market.

And there it is a view of Earth not seen for 50 years.#Artemis #MoonMission

With midterm losses, Trump's climb to the nomination could be steeper than he'd like

Donald Trump is officially running again, trying to avenge his loss to Joe Biden, even as Trump still refuses to admit he lost. Trump's push to overturn the 2020 outcome helped spark an insurrection.

Just saw a vile post from he who tanked the birdapp... making a joke of Tourettes. I am absolutely furious. I am tired of being a punchline/joke/etc. for people like that.

My evil heart hopes everything he owns tanks and he is left destitute, miserable, and full of regret.

My zen heart understands he is vile because he is a damaged human being but in this moment, evil wins.

Is there no way to show a list of people following me that I'm not following back?

I can script it, of course, but it'd be nice in the web app.

In the year of our lord 2022, why am I getting catalogs in the mail?

Why am I getting catalogs in the mail telling me to go to the internet, the place I already was before this catalog arrived

Another quick Mastodon tip, to improve your experience (and mental health). You’ve seen the Content Warnings feature, but did you know you can apply them to OTHER people’s posts, automatically based on keywords? Preferences > Filters.

Great for stuff you still want to see in the timeline, but stay collapsed until you’re in the right mood or mindset to read it. I do this for stressful stuff like climate change, or… anything at all in UK politics. 😅
