Starting here on Thursday 11/13, the Starbucks union has voted to strike. Their ask is that people (incl. customers) stay out of every store until an acceptable contract gets signed. If for some reason you haven’t been able to stop spending $$$ on their mediocre coffee, this a fantastic time to find your local replacement. (Which could very well taste better and cost less!)

My default post language is set to Spanish - and I'm not sure how to change this while keeping the interface in Spanish. Apologies for when I've forgotten to change it to English for a particular post (since generally that's what I use). I'll see what I can do to fix this....

For those w/o

An update is that I've uninstalled the Intel network/wireless driver and reinstalled from the file that Lenovo suggests for this computer.

And we were back to recognizing my home wi-fi, but "no Internet". I ran the troubleshooter. At one point it was "looking for problems in name resolution" and apparently the DNS server isn't responding.

I flushed the DNS cache. Restarted. Still not responding :-(

Thanks,

And it wasn’t Zoom - for those following along. Apparently Proton VPN or my provider (Comcast) interacting with it

Hey all, it looks like Zoom did something to mess up my wi-fi and now I can't even
see available networks. Please take a look if you can. I tried restarting. Windows troubleshooter didn't work. I tried a network reset. What is a chipset driver? Is it the "core chipset" or just another name for the wireless driver?

Anyone else having a problem with Windows 10 not connecting to Wi-fi? I have an issue with my driver now, can’t even see which networks are available. Microsoft causing problems for people? I’ve tried restarting. I’ve run the troubleshooter. Wonder if I should uninstall the driver. Thought(s)?

Okay Mastodon, we have to get better at search. I'm sure this can happen while keeping privacy a top value here.
For example, I can't even search my own posts? We ought to be able to search like "
#(hashtag) @tsyum@thepit.social" and find each post that qualifies, but I can't even do it while logged in? This needs to be a feature - and intuitive so people don't need to search forums on the Internet to figure out how....

For now I did find an interesting workaround.

https://thepit.social/@tsyum/tagged/Spanish

works to show each post of mine with the hashtag Spanish. Cool!

Anyone know of a good resource regarding "content warnings"? It strikes me as a very nuanced topic - despite how some people feel. I spent much of my early life getting the message that I'm too much and that I need to say things differently, be quiet. So while I can appreciate some value in a content warning on occasion, I am not about to put myself behind a curtain to avoid causing other people to feel things.

Okay Mastodon, can we STOP reverting hashtag text to all lowercase? People capitalize different characters for important accessibility reasons. Until we address the protocol issue here, we hurt people across the fediverse - disabled and not. I can’t recommend this platform for news, social media, etc.
