LPT: remember to check how old your tech is at least every few years :)
Apparently @GamerzATX (Tim's) tablet is the 2016 Samsung bottom of the line Tab A and I'm surprised it still works after the amount of use he's given it. Looks like he's getting an upgrade :D

Friends who want to support the people of #Palestine but haven’t figured out how to do it w/o being antisemitic, ask your jewish friends for help. But go gently given the current circumstances, ASK first if now is an ok time to ask for advice, and be ready to hear no.
But this is not at all new, there are people out there who can guide you. Listen to them. And maybe don’t spout off until you have.
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
@ecksmc yes please!

@MrGoat so, I went ahead and did some basic maintenance on the tablet and realized he was using an old mastadon app. I uninstalled it and after I was able to log in via the browser and that is where he is now. He rarely uses text input, but the lag on the typing is enough to make me rage throw his tablet in the toilet. I'll reset to factory after I get his photos off and hope it clears up or he's getting a new tablet. It's pretty old and I'm not patient enough to support it. @GamerzATX
@Minholkin I love your regular supply of peaceful reminders for self-care in times of unrest. Thank you, Min, for all you share and give <3

@phase2
Thank you for this timely thread, very important!
SIFT is an acronym we can all use to remember a simple way to avoid inadvertently spreading misinformation and disinformation.
Stop.
Investigate the source.
Find better coverage.
Trace claims to original context.
I could use a #cosotips if anyone has an idea. Tim @GamerzATX was on all day yesterday and was suddenly logged off on his tablet last night. It looks like he's still logged off when I booted it up to checkthis a.m.. I have logged in as him on my PC to verify it wasn't password silliness. I had him restart last night and login. I'm going to get his tablet and clear any caches and check for updates. Any other suggestions to check? It never seems to finish the login from his tablet.
good morning, 'nauts! I'm hoping this day brings enlightenment and a calm heart to all who will benefit from it for good.
@th3j35t3r excellent!
@kevinjones welcome aboard!

The disruption pharmacies need is a database that lists which meds are in stock.
@ecksmc wow! I love warblers. I hope they are able to thrive and provide some additional entertainment.

If you have #Playstation Plus Premium there is a new streaming service with 100 free movies to stream with your subscription called Sony Pictures Core. You can also purchase movies as well.
@catlynne333 that guy is such a predictable turd. I can't help but wish a pox upon him.

Contrary to popular misconception, we tend to get more liberal as we age, not more conservative. It’s just that society as a whole gets more liberal even faster, and that lag creates the illusion that older generations are becoming more conservative. We’re not, we’re just taking longer to catch up
