this is cool is you're on bsky, it's a bridge that makes it like a mastodon instance so you can point a client at it. they only test against @ivory but it seems to work pretty well.

the reason I learned to use the psql/psql.exe client is because I know just connecting with it won't do something exciting like create 94 additional connections that were cached in a gui client and start asking for EXPLAIN VERBOSE on a ton of queries for no obvious reason.

Something I've been saying is that the same cops who are contemptuous of civilian authority and treat the populace like an occupying army are also usually ineffective at actual policing:

RIP #RickFroberg of #Pitchfork #DriveLikeJehu #HotSnakes #Obits and so much great album art. Rick’s voice, alongside those of Ian MacKaye, Guy Picciato & Justin Trosper defined that menacing and confusing “post hardcore” era of the 90s that truly sounded like outer space in a magnetic storm of anxiety. Rick was, contrastly, a super humble, sweet & shy man that couldn’t be more opposite of the narration on his songs, especially with Drive Like Jehu and Pitchfork. #sandiego https://drivelikejehu.bandcamp.com/album/bullet-train-to-vegas-b-w-hand-over-fist

Is the treacly sincerity here not just smothering?
Orwell would hate everyone on the left and right that mentions him.
This is none of my business but I can assure the very mediocre faux George Orwell that steinkobbe was not being sincere. That a guy doing a bad job of cosplaying as George Orwell doesn't understand this is funnier and more hard hitting than anything else he has ever posted.
Welcome to Mastodon, for the people who move into an unincorporated area of the county so they don't have to deal with The Man, but then setup a HOA.
