"Tim Cook #gives $1 million to Trump’s inauguration committee. I think this event will be a turning point in how we view the #Apple CEO."

Daniel Jalkut, on all the social places including Micro.blog: "On the occasion of Apple’s slithering CEO Tim Cook #donating $1M to a neo-fascist insurrectionist, it’s FINALLY time to deploy the often overused expression 'this never would have happened if #SteveJobs were still in charge'."

It feels so good to get rid of stuff...and by “get rid of” I mean directly rehoming things you no longer need or want to people in your community, especially when those items would not be accepted at the “traditional” places like Goodwill-type places. (And yes, I already knew it felt good, and yet I’m always surprised that it does.)

OK, I'm #newHere / #neuHier at mastodon.de but never mind - I've been around the Fediverse for a long time… Actually, I just moved from @Herr_Irrtum@mstdn.social to this cozy place here ;)

Typically I'll write in German language at this account – this post being an exception.

Because I want to thank @stux from mstdn.social for a rock solid experience over there for 4 years which isn't something to be taken as granted at all, considering the massive amount of users there are. Thank you mate for making it possible, and still having an ear for your users.
The think that pulled my leg and broke my neck at mstdn.social was the 500 char limit (that wasn't always the case but unfortunately it is now); so I had to move sooner or later (just look at this post to understand ;) ).

I could have moved to a lot of other instances which allow more than 500 chars per post – but mind you – I've asked some admins how SAFE that enhanced char limit is; And the most original answer came from @MastodonDE telling me it is like **TOTALLY** safe, because else @ErikUden wouldn't be able to use it.;)
Well – *that* was totally convincing!
And the fact that Erik is the chief in charge here and that I am somewhat became a fan of him and his very thoughtful posts of course played into my very complicated and over engineered "account moving" decision making process.
And thanks btw. to @ErikUden for even personally welcoming me, not just by a cold automatic mail but in a quite nice and individual way. Appreciate it!!

About me – just check my profile.

Enough blubbering now... just one more thing:

If you are NOT #Armutsbetroffen / #povertyAffected (and unfortunately there are a lot of people living in such a condition) – no matter at which instance you are on – consider #donating a small amount monthly to your instance. Almost most Fediverse instances are run by volunteers and maintaining a server means costs (for server rent quite directly, and indirectly for the hours spent by doing moderation, updates, database health maintenance, storage monitoring and what not).

Reminder that if you're thinking about #donating to a political like #KamalaHarris, or anyone who wins the primaries in your local elections, or any ballot measure groups, it's actually better to give them more money up front, because that's more money they can spend early on when they really need to be getting their messages out.

They really like those monthly #donations, because that's influxes they can rely on, but if you could just give them that money as a big lump sum right up front, you might want to do that instead: the closer we get to the election, the less that money is worth, becoming pretty much worthless by election-day.

(As for those issue-based groups, we might be past the time for donations to them to be very useful: a lot of what they do is push things in the primary, push things to whoever wins the primary, and then back whoever is most likely to get them that.)

#USpol#Harris#Trump

Hello #Mastodon it's the last day of #DisabilityPrideMonth and my #disabled family is still in danger of dying on the street

We have $0 left for gas
I don't know if they will take the car 4th or 5th month that the payment is late

$491 to keep us off the street

$821 would cover the hotel and the car

$1359 would give us has, toiletries and food when I'm too sick or in pain to prep anything

I subluxed my thumb last night
