We got it set up so we’ll get our #absentee ballots in the mail. This makes me happy. When we voted in 2020, there was a line out the courthouse door, and it took us an hour and a half to even get to the room where the voting machines were. It’s hard to not think it’s getting harder and more inconvenient by design, but maybe I don’t know everything.

I have a question for the #HiveMind. Recently I upgraded to a new computer which necessitated a new install of #Winamp and I’m now having issues. How do I get rid of the Winamp library? I don’t intend to use it, and it’s interfering with the keystrokes I usually use in the program. Any help greatly appreciated.

@npub1grx…uxfe Replay of 2020. How is he still Postmaster General anyway?

@npub1hjn…vfr7 I hadn’t thought about that scene in years. You brought it back to mind. Thanks a lot, you’re probably going to be responsible for a few nightmares.

@npub17ha…t8va I remember you doing the CBS hourly news breaks. I don’t even know who does them anymore, I’ve kind of given up on terrestrial radio.

Something kind of cool here tonight. Sarah recently bought what are called Envision glasses, which are able to give her feedback of what’s around her when she wears them. More than that, they can read handwriting. Her dad has filled countless notebooks with his handwritten musings over the years, and now she can read them. Makes me think I want some of these too.

@npub1sfl…gczt Maybe he’d be ashamed of her. From the things that you have said she has much to be ashamed of. Sincere apologies if that hits too close.

@npub1grx…uxfe And I’m continually surprised that water is wet and sticking your finger in a light socket will cause electrocution. No one could have ever predicted…

Some time ago I decided to never give money to any political cause again. It just didn’t feel like it made that much of a difference. Then, the other night, I felt led to give to Kamala Harris through #Mastodon4Harris and I’ve learned to never deny impulses like that. I could only afford to give $25, but in this case every little bit helps, and upon reflection I’d rather be the one giving instead of some soulless billionaire.

@npub1sfl…gczt Um did you mean 2021?

Question for those who use the Mona app to access Mastodon: Sometimes, when someone posts an image with no description, I will use the select media option, and sometimes I’ll be able to read the text included in the image, if any is there. However, there appears to be no way to get back from this to the post lists apart from closing and reopening Mastodon. Is there a trick in Mona that I’m missing? Thanks for any help.

@npub1sfl…gczt Thanks for the laugh. I needed one.

@npub1sfl…gczt Thanks for the gift article. Saves me the bother of logging into WaPo, though I probably should.

@npub1grx…uxfe I’d be interested in sampling the hallucinogens Snowden is clearly on. It would be kind of nice to check out of this reality for a while.

I wanted to thank everyone who puts description in their #SilentSunday posts. Without those descriptions, for some of us, those posts are truly silent. If you can’t see them, a trillion pictures aren’t worth a single word. #A11Y

@npub1grx…uxfe I guess I should just count on waking up every morning severely nauseated.
