I guess there's one benefit of remote work I can see as an essential employee, a lot of the middlemen I report data to may not be around and I can get more credit for the work I do:
"Similarly, if your entire work product is boxing up other people’s production and sending it to the CEO, that becomes significantly harder to prove as your own in a fully digital environment—the producer in question can simply send it along themselves. Remote work makes who does and doesn’t actually do work way more obvious."

Apple’s weather app won’t say it’s 69 degrees
Apple’s Weather app on iOS 14 has an usual issue: it refuses to display the number 69 for its forecasts, rounding its source data up to 70 degrees or down to 68. The error appears to be fixed on the upcoming iOS 15, however.Chaim Gartenberg (The Verge)
And we’re back.
I've also heard these are a good source of tannins, and were used to make the original iron based inks.
Been having fun finding galls - swellings or growths on leaves & stems caused by insects, mites, & even fungi. There are so many different shapes and they're all so fascinating! You can find many on oak and hackberry trees. Just flip over a leaf! #galls fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org/sites/default/…

Hey, Plusporans!
I posted this as a reply to someone who was reposting the announcement about the issues Pluspora was having lately, but I figured I would post this just in general.I would like to extend an open invitation to you and anyone who is wanting or needing to setup another fediverse account (due to the unfortunate circumstances at Pluspora) to come check out Friendica. Our friendly Friendica instances speak many languages, so they reach in to many other parts of the fediverse - the GNU Socials, Pleromas, Mastondons, etc, as well as Hubzillas and of course, Diasporas. This invitation is not to dissuade from choosing any particular path, but as I don't see enough cheering for all the great improvements that go in to Friendica all the time, I figure I'd make some noise, especially in light of the changes (or possible changes?) going on at Pluspora.
Feel free to try out a Friendica account at social.isurf.ca (I've been running this instance since April 2018) or at any instance that might be close and comfortable geographically - you can find a list at the-federation.info/friendica
Heck, even if one has had an account on a Friendica instance in the past, there's been a great number of improvements over the past couple of years.
Have a great day, hope all is well, and we look forward to seeing you wherever you wind up!

Sorry for the direct mention, but I'm having trouble with Friendica groups. I can't see any posts except my own from a few months ago. I can still get feeds of people in my network timeline. I also left and then tried to re-add the Friendica Admins group, admins@forum.friendi.ca, but I can't seem to re-add it.
Was wondering if it was a weird database issue or if my nginx config is doing something weird again. I was having issues with redis recently so not sure if that's an issue. Thanks for any tips you have.

#friendica #admins , just a heads up.
dear follow #diasporians
i have the hint, there will soon come a wave of #maga - #trumpsters accounts to #diaspora, the older of you might remember on the #wave of #daesh - and #isis accounts yeras ago, when #twitter #silenced their accounts and i think, the #antifa -fellows here in diaspora , the diasporians who have no sympathy to trump or his #whitepower -footsoldiers, the people here, who dont sympathizes with #racism #fascism #homophobia #sexism or (yes, you read right, i wrote OR! which says a lot about this time) #antisemitism the #liberals here, we should be prepared and think about, how to counter that, i dont want diaspora to become the brown echochamber for #conspiracy-ideology, for that #qanon lunacy or this #trump -bullshit
share that, think about that, debate about that, stopping #fascism when you can, not, when its allready to late, #antifascists predicted that allready years ago and itz no #fun anymore, itz no fun, to play #cassanda and beeing right #now itz the time to defeat #fascist #hatespeech here on diaspora, not tomorow, not next week, ITZ NOW!this is a call to your keyboards!
please share!
you get a funny, hopefully prophetic picture as rewardps if you want to support the cause and you think i missed important points, feel free to rephrase that posting or write something in the comments or a pm, feel free to "follow"me (maybe a little warning, i am an antifa, i am really i left wing communist and i am a pro-zionist and i am a militant, we can argue about that, we can have debates or, if you dont like that, make your own post about it, if itz antifascist, i will support it, i love you!)
