Dobbs Has Created a Health Care Apocalypse
ABBY VESOULIS,  Reporter  -  Mother Jones

Stephan: Yet another report on the decline of healthcare for women in states controlled by Republicans. Tracking this trend is one of the saddest American stories I have ever tracked. So much misery for no reason other than prejudice.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks 😅

This is my setup, I think I posted these before:

It’s a Celestron Ultima 100 (originally bought for bird watching, not a telescope) with a special adapter so that I can mount my Canon EOS 600D directly. The sun filter is just a generic filter for 100mm scopes. The tripod isn’t very good and actually rather annoying. 😂

It’s not a very complicated setup. 🤔 Being able to mount the camera directly is crucial.

I was able to take a photo of the large sunspots that made the news these days:

It’s not a super high quality shot, my scope isn’t good enough for that. Still cool to see. 😎

For this #FridayReads and for the seasonal prompt of #May, #animals, I keep reading through the Anne of Green Gables novels, now the 6th in the series, “Anne of Ingleside”.

I must confess that Montgomery’s lack of effort in some instances frustrates me, to a point when, now in the sixth book (of eight), I found myself wishing for it to just end. Not a good sign! I’ve heard that for some people the 7th and 8th are the best of them, tho, so I am hopeful that things get better.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh heck you’re right! 🤣 I noticed a few go by that I thought “fuck that’s probably worth keeping” 😅 Oh well, I have backups, and everything is “archived”. There are ~314 accounts left LOL 😂

One great feature of Vim (and probably other editors) is “keyword completion”: Type the beginning of a word, then press Ctrl-N and Vim will give autocompletion options by scanning all the words in the current file. For example, when I now type “au” and then Ctrl-N, it will suggest “autocompletion”.

This is so very useful when writing text / prose. It’s especially useful for German text with all those long words like “Informationssicherheitsbeauftrager”. I use this feature all time and I sorely miss it when I’m forced to use some other crappy editor. 😩

I’d also be very interested to hear what some other users of yarnd have to say, sadly there are only a handful of pods around that I’m aware of and/or that peer with my pod (twtxt.net) 😢

Maybe Yarn.social/Twtxt has become boring or too niche? 🤔 Anyway cc @eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com @xuu@txt.sour.is @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @abucci@anthony.buc.ci

Hah 🤣 @dfaria@twtxt.net Your @dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu feed really does consume about >50% of a “Discover” search with filters “Without replies” and “Hide my posts”. 🤣

36/2 = 18 at 25 Twts per page, that’s about ~72% of the search/view real estate you’re taking up! wow 🤩 – I’d be very interested to hear what ideas you have to improve this? Those search filters were created so you could sift through either your own Timeline or the Discover view easily.

There’s also a pod-level setting (admins) that control what the “Discover” (or front page if you’re not logged in) display:

This is either:

• Local posts only (local to the pod)
  
• All posts in the pod’s cache

One of the problems I have with changing the way the “Discover” view works whilst at the same time keeping it “clean” (depending on who you talk to) is the behaviour between “Timeline” (what you follow explicitly) and “Discover” (a view into the pod’s cache). See attached, where I by default prefer a “collapsed” view (hiding replies). The default behaviour for Discover (no controls) is “everything”.

The reason I bring this up is that part of my “workflow” has become to occasionally use the “Discover” view to see if I’ve missed any “in-between” replies that often happen, find new interesting folks to follow and/or interact with, etc.

Changing this to anything but the current behaviour would break this flow for me 😢
