Harry Truman: Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Thomas Jefferson: Governments constantly choose between telling lies and fighting wars, with the end result always being the same. One will always lead to the other. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Gore Vidal: When you control opinion, as corporate America controls opinion in the United States by owning the media, you can make the masses believe almost anything you want, and guide them as you please. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Upcoming Short Downtime

I'm going through some financial crisis right now and forced to couch surf for the next few months, so I'm not going to have a place or the server ***BUT*** it won't be offline more than a few hours.

There's going to be a short downtime sometime in the next few days. Things are a mess so I don't have an exact set time.

But I've temporarily rented a dedicated server from OVH for my needs and will be migrating the server there so that it can stay online while I work on getting a new place.

Additionally, when the time comes I will also be applying the new Friendica 2024.03 update.

@Server News To be clear: housing problems are less with income and all about events involving roommates. I over extended supporting others for too long, so I just need a little savings to get things resolved.

I'm going to be a very mild troll here...

Hey y'all! Say Hi to my delightful sister! @emilie_stims

She's new to the whole fediverse thing and a little overwhelmed. If you want to catch her interest, I recommend talking about birds, ren faire, singing, and folklore as some easy topics!

But do me a favor and let her know how friendly the fediverse is ❤

I might actually end up using Signal.

My issue has always been how it takes over your phone number...

Signal’s New Usernames Help Keep the Cops Out of Your Data

Ephemeral usernames instead of phone numbers safeguard privacy — and makes the Signal messenger app even harder to subpoena.

Sorry I've not been on here for a while. Been busy.
Life has been very busy lately. I have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and had a lump removed & a lot of appointments. I dressing changes 3 times a week. I am having CBT counselling. There is the decluttering. And that is on top of my caring duties, trying to cope with my osteoarthritis, etc & trying to sort out a motorbility car.
