The police in cities letting lawlessness rule proves the need for gun rights. I posted a police request on information leading to a person who broke into a house and shot at people eating. The events of this modern time proves the need for personal gun ownership and the continuation of that right: https://americanmilitarynews.com/2020/06/1000-black-gun-owners-plan-pro-second-amendment-walk-in-oklahoma/

Me and telephones? That's never a good combination.

Wrote a little post about my Emacs note taking habits, partially inspired by @mike latest post about Vivaldi note capabilities.
https://parasurv.neocities.org/emacs/noob-note-taking-with-emacs.html
Nothing special, just my thoughts about Emacs, org-mode, org-capture. But I see many people boosted my post org-capture, so I wrote a little bit more.
Only Day 27 of #100DaysToOffload. I really should write more damnit! xd

My post on how does #Mastodon work is very popular, so I decided to take some time out to give it a re-write.
And I was expecting an ordinary, quiet Saturday. But nooo....

In case you are sitting at home and spend a lot of time calling other people like me: You might want to look into #jitsi meet. (https://meet.jit.si/) It is really simple to use and doesn't need accounts or desktop clients.
And in case the servers get overloaded in the next weeks, you can simply host it yourself. I wrote a quick guide that sums up how to get everything running:

This webtoon is so good. Cyberpunk, cybersecurity, tech ethics, AI, near future SciFi... I'm really enjoying.

Day 18 of #100DaysToOffload and I've changed things up a little with the challenge - for the better, I think.
On an otherwise quiet Saturday afternoon...
