Time to get crazy
Finally having to dip into my collection to come up with songs, not bad for twenty-three days in, right? I've got three versions of this in my collection, Queen's original, Dwight Yoakam's, and this one, though I should try the Stray Cats version as well and see how it differs as Brian fronts both groups.
Speaking of the Stray Cats, my alternate choice for today was Rock This Town, but would the Brian Setzer Orchestra version even count as a cover?

The newly started Invictus campaign to fundraise USD 1 million for 100 vehicles and more for the Ukrainian heros has already reached USD 470,000.
Because Donald Trump does not decide the outcome.
We do.

If a company has genetic data
And it's going bankrupt
And that causes one of the biggest economies in the world, California, to warn people to delete their data before that happens
Because they're very concerned about who the genetic data will be sold to in bankruptcy court
Idk man maybe it should just be illegal to sell genetic data in bankruptcy court? Or it should require stringent oversight and regulation?

Bombshell: In Denmark, Chairman of the Defence Committee, conservative member of parliament Rasmus Jarlov, explains why buying US made weapons is now a security risk.
He will not vote for buying US weapons again, and he encourages other countries to join the boycott.

Germany was about to order a huhe amount of F35 Fighters for their army.
Now they are not sure if that is a good idea to depend on US support.

Those in power won't realize it. Those that follow them won't care.
However it is our children and grandchildren that will see a far less stable and more insecure world where America and Europe are now rival powers instead of collaborative allies...
All this at the worst time, given the ever looming threats of the man-made climate disaster.

This might be info that people on here already know but I did a thread on protesting (where to find/safety/rights, etc). Would you be willing to boost it?

Oh yes they do. You must be new around here. There is no limit to their hypocrisy.
"We don't need no stinkin' laws" is their motto.
Seems much more effective and powerful than my personal motto of "It's gonna be a long four years for thems whats lives so long."
MS Windows is so unusable now that my wife agrees it's time to come over to #linux. The problem we need to figure out is the bookkeeping software for our [currently very] small business. She is used to but not totally stuck on #Quickbooks, which doesn't run nicely on Linux. Also we'd rather not support Intuit and are resistant to a hosted cloud service.
Can anyone share experience with #GnuCash or similar for self-hosted small business accounting on Linux (Ubuntu/Pop_OS)? Boosts appreciated.

Paging the Fediverse! I've been out of work since the middle of 2024 and would like to change that 
I'm a software engineer of more than 25 years' experience. Most recently, I have been doing back end work using TypeScript, Ruby, and Java. I've worked at an ISP, at a national broadcaster, a high-volume web SaaS provider, and a medtech startup; I've led teams, been a tech lead, and been an at-the-coalface coder.
Do you know of somewhere that could use my experience? I'm a British citizen living in Denmark, and I'd strongly prefer not to have to move. Yet.
Can you help me #GetFediHired / #FediHired? Boost please, etc. Thank you

Earlier, I reminded people that Dot Com, Net, Org, Info, Us, and Edu are all govern by the United States. I also reminded folks that, word-based domain extensions, for example, Dot Social, are managed by Us Corporations. I suggested, it may be a good idea, if you're looking to start a new website, to not only find an overseas web host, but pick a country level domain.
Someone accused this of "Fearmongering".
I come to the Fediverse to enjoy social media, since I spend 8β12 hours working for Meta (Facebook). The Fedi is a good distraction of the nonsense that I see and encounter at work.
For example, the word "protest" is now being monitoring there. We're actively helping a fascist regime track people. That same fascist regime who is threatening Canada, Greenland, and other such nonsense.
I am not Fearmongering. I am sharing events that are unfolding, along with some valued foresight. Things are changing in our world, and not for the better.

This is my favorite version of the song, but there's lots of covers and some of them are... interesting. Two funny things to note about this song, the original Allman Brothers version didn't chart, and this version falls into the other covers section of the Wikipedia page. Not sure which version I heard first, this or the Allman Bros, after all they're a staple of classic rock stations and often show up on rock stations, both of which I tend to listen to, but I think it really works as a country song especially when done by Hank Williams Jr.

in reply to Eniko Fox • • •I agree, of course.
But, in the long run, I wonder whether we can really have any expectation of privacy with our DNA.
Iβm always shedding hair and skin cells. Any time Iβm in public, my DNA has been there. Even if Iβm not, Iβm sure my DNA is in the wastewater.
The one thing missing is a way to tie my identity to it. And with near universal surveillance in the modern world, itβs inevitable that they could make the necessary inference.

Just because they can doesn't mean they should obviously.
Yes they could get dna data on people in public spaces but they are supposed to be a government of the people and for the people. Right? When did that take a back seat to power in our modern world? (Rhetorical really)

Cute little DNA test kits were plugged and propped up as cute Christmas gifts, or as a way of finding distant relatives, heritage, some even had stated you could find medical issues before they became huge issues.
For some God-awful reason, people actually paid to send off their information to these companies.
I can assure you it's no joke, but I really can't understand why anyone agreed to do it.
