"Telling the time by sundial and history not only was custom, but also was understood as following God’s time. The idea of overriding traditional timekeeping because of the needs of the modern world seemed positively sacrilegious. “People…must eat, sleep and work…by railroad time,” wrote a contributor to the Indianapolis Daily Sentinel. “People will have to marry by railroad time…. Ministers will be required to preach by railroad time…. Banks will open and close by railroad time; notes will be paid or protested by railroad time.”

The mayor of Bangor, Maine, vetoed an ordinance in favor of standard time, saying it was unconstitutional, that it changed the immutable law of God, that the people didn’t want it, and that it was hard on the working men because it changed day into night. Those planning for a switch to standard time tried to ease fears by providing that Americans would operate on both local time and standard time, with both times represented on clocks."

An expressive potato

Found this pinto potato in our stash today.

Reddish potato with a yellow unpigmented area with two small brown round spots and a roughly triangular larger brown spot below, and pointed downward. The effect gives the impression of either a polar bear face (with the triangle as the nose) or a very exuberant smiley with the triangle as an open-mouthed smile.

Reminder regarding fascism

I've had a few conversations that go like this: I carefully explain what fascism is. The other person gets progressively more uncomfortable. Then they say something like "but that goes against everything I've ever been taught is right!"

And I'm sort of left wondering what they were expecting.

So for anyone who needs it, this is reminder that if you find fascism horrifying, abhorrent, and contrary to everything you've ever heard, this says *good* things about you and your upbringing.

Question about crowd-funding

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 01:17:54 +0100

Question for people who use crowdfunding: do crowdfunding services typically submit income tax documentation to governments? I'm in the U.S., so I'm personally most interested in the IRS, and I actually don't know to what degree this or isn't a thing in other countries.

Relatedly, if I were to take crowdfunding for a project, I'm wondering if I would need to set myself up as a "sole proprietor" or something. How does this work?

@dynamic It has been a while since I had to deal with this, but yes, in principle it's income and it's up to you report it along with appropriate deductions. What the crowdfunding platform will vary but often if it's below a certain amount they won't report anything. Setting yourself up as a sole proprietorship in the US (unless you are using a business name other than your own name or if you want access to certain kinds of banking) beyond including the self employed income in your end of year filing. #notlegaladvice

"What the crowdfunding platform will vary but often if it's below a certain amount they won't report anything."

So they'll report to the tax agency, but they won't, like, help me out by sending me a W2 or whatever the hell the equivalent is for donations?

"Setting yourself up as a sole proprietorship in the US (unless you are using a business name other than your own name or if you want access to certain kinds of banking) beyond including the self employed income in your end of year filing."

Not sure what your final sentence here is saying...

An observation on Hubzilla notifications

I'm not exactly sure why, but Hubzilla doesn't seem to (consistently?) notify me when people "like" my posts, or perhaps when people "like" the comments I leave on other people's posts.

Hubzilla *does* notify me when people leave new comments on "conversations" (that's "threads" to Mastodon users) that I've interacted with previously. Like, when I've commented on someone else's post and then a third person also comments on the same post.

The resulting experience is.... kind of pleasant actually.

@dynamic my apologies if I missed this, but are there specific advantages to hubzilla or is it just a different flavor of the same?

#Hubzilla is a different planet for which you have to be ready - defiantly NOT just a different flavor

@?????

I in fact have "Unseen likes and dislikes" checked. I'm not going to fret about it too much, though, because I'm pretty happy with the current behavior.

Hubzilla and Mastodon are as different as Facebook and Twitter. They have completely separate development lineages and use different native protocols (Zot for Hubzilla, ActivityPub for Mastodon) and different privacy models.

They need a common protocol to communicate with each other, so Hubzilla uses ActivityPub for federation with Mastodon and friends, but this is tacked on after the fact and is a bit of a kluge, which is why you'll sometimes see me pasting things about not being sure how the two talk to each other.

As to advantages, Hubzilla offers the following (and more):
* Reading permissions defined by the original poster, rather than by Mastodon's (frankly bizarre) "followers" status
* Nomadic identity (you can smoothly move your account from one Hubzilla instance to another without losing any of your content, connections, or interactions)
* The ability to maintain multiple identities on one account
* The ability to create multi-user forums
* Comment moderation (including not accepting any comments at all, although if you federate with Mastodon that won't stop Mastodon readers from taking a joy ride on your posts; you just won't know about it)

It's ludicrously powerful software, which makes for a steep learning curve, which is not improved by the fact that there's a clean-looking "modern" interface with most of the controls hidden away.

@dynamic_hubzilla With Hubzilla you can not just post into a Network. You can also publish all kind of Websites, Events... there is a cloud- like in nextcloud. .. and much more - there are no limits...

After all i think Hubzilla has more to do with a CMS rather than with FB.

Hubzilla = WP+BoddyPress + dezentral social Networking = Social Content Management System = S-CMS
