And Hawaii?

if he wasn’t able to run for election because he was sent to jail

That wouldn’t legally prevent him from running—Eugene Debs ran for president while in prison for protesting WWI.

There is no dark side of ~~the moon~~ Facebook, really—matter of fact it’s all dark.

My mom watched the Watergate hearings while she was pregnant with me.

If a hundred people try to guess ten coin flips, odds are at least one of them will guess nine out of ten. That doesn’t make them an expert.

Remarkably similar to the way he grins while expressing regret for his critics who accidentally fall out of windows.

I think she’s making the same mistake Obama made with healthcare: coming from a background as senators under Republican presidents, they gravitate toward proposals that would likely have passed as-is in the Congresses they served in; but when it’s a Democratic president making the proposal, it needs to be more robust because Congress will water it down as a matter of principle no matter how moderate it is to start with.

AFAIK, the only practical thing in the way of having a separate server that just hosts identity accounts for all types of fediverse content (while the content itself is hosted on other servers) is that your host server is responsible for presenting the interface through which you view the rest of the fediverse, and the interfaces are specialized for a particular content type. You could have a server running a variety of fediverse software (mastodon, lemmy, etc.) which automatically generates similar accounts for each user on each service, so users could sign up once and then switch interfaces; but I think the rest of the fediverse would still treat them as separate identities.

An ad-blocking DNS server on your local network should work for apps too, right? (As long as the ads are hosted on known ad servers.)

Currently on the worldbuilding/outlining phase.

I’m using a customized self-hosted Semantic MediaWiki installation, and can’t imagine doing it any other way—it’s like Wikipedia with the added ability to aggregate and live-update information from related pages. For instance, I can create a story event page with the place, date, and list of characters involved—and just from that, each character’s page has a map of all the places they’ve been, a timeline of all the events they’ve been present at, and a list of all the characters they’ve met; and it all gets updated whenever I add or edit an event.

Plus it’s on a web server, so I can access it from any device with an internet connection.

Coffee isn’t a true bean—it’s more closely related to gardenias.
