Now Able to POSSE to Mastodon

I have been looking for a way to syndicate from here to Mastodon, and landed on the KnownMastodon plugin. Unfortunately, that did not work for me. I did a bit of digging and discovered that the error was in a piece of Mastodon authorisation code and that cdn has implemented a fix, but that did not seem to have made it into the code I downloaded. Further digging revealed that the fix was actually by crscheid and that even though they had created a proper pull request, that had not been merged either. I did what any sane cargo culter would do, downloaded the fix, stuck it in my site, crossed my fingers and tried again. Lo!

Another walk in the park, but here's the thing -- the bicycle quest was actually marginally closer than the walking one.

After two long days in front of the computer, happy to see the quest in the local park again. The photo is facing directly away from the location.

Peasants are not revolting. Farmers are revolting

That’s my take on the agricultural unrest happening across Europe.

A single tractor, flying the Italian flag, passes the Colosseum in Rome Of course we would not be here if we still relied on peasant farmers and the meagre surplus that could be extracted from them without actually killing them. Nevertheless, today’s farmers are not their descendants.
