4 hour wait times on last day of early voting in Northeast Ohio by Ascrod in c/ohio@midwest.social

I voted last weekend at the local Board of Elections and it took nearly an hour. There were a ton of people, but the BOE has their process down very well. I think urban areas like these are going to be pretty busy.

Springfielder here, where are my fellow fediverse Ohioans from? by Ascrod in c/ohio@midwest.social

Found Cat by Ascrod in c/cats@midwest.social

I brought her to an adoption center up the road and they were able to tell me she had no chip. They also gave me some supplies since I didn't have anything - they've been really great.

Found a lost cat at the park this week. Hopefully I can find her owners soon. In the meantime, she has certainly made herself at home.

I suspect 1-2 years old but hard to say. Female. Unsure if spayed. No collar or chip. Very sweet and friendly. Planning to get her to the vet for a checkup ASAP. She's a bit skinny so was probably lost for a few days, and definitely has an appetite now.

I hope she wasn't dumped, because some people really don't like black cats, and also leaving cats in the wild is very bad for the environment.

PSA please chip your pets, even if they're indoor pets!

FIDO Alliance Publishes Specification For Exchanging Passkeys (fidoalliance.org)

When I first learned about passkeys it sounded like nothing more than a vendor lock-in cash grab dressed up as security. This new spec might actually improve the situation and make them useable across more platforms and systems. Assuming Apple, Google, and Microsoft don't find a way to screw it up again.

Piracy ain't stealing if buying ain't owning, matey!

Doesn't he have better things to spend taxpayer money on, like maybe the power grid?

Millions of customers' data found on dark web in latest AT&T data breach by Ascrod in c/technology@midwest.social

Why do they need to retain that kind of data on 65 million closed accounts, again?

Rest in Power, Aaron. by Ascrod in c/ohio@midwest.social

[-] Ascrod@midwest.social 16 points 8 months ago

Seems he was from Massachusetts, but apparently had connections to several Ohio groups. I had to hunt a bit for it.

"He seems to be associated with at least two Ohio-based anarchist organizations, Mutual Aid Street Solidarity and Burning River Anarchist Collective. Bushnell had the groups bookmarked on Facebook."

Animal shelters overflow as Americans dump 'pandemic puppies' in droves. They're too broke to keep their dogs by Ascrod in c/news@lemmy.world

I support educating pet owners, and regulating "puppy mills".

Dogs aren't guns.

Pluralistic: Apple Fucked Us On Right to Repair (Again). by Ascrod in c/righttorepair@midwest.social

Funny how American capitalism went from championing interchangeable parts in the 18th century to shitting on it in the 21st century.
