Bonfire doesn't seem to handle NodeBB well, YET. There is a bug in that was started this year. Looks like Julian was just on it last week. I tossed my hat in to see I need this fixed. But that's awesome. That's EXACTLY the use case for this. So excited. Great job man. 😊

@blenderdumbass@mastodon.online ​I'm on Bonfire. Maybe it's not sending something properly? Or maybe something with Mastodon? I only know English, so ... idk. 😁

Just found out about ESG funds.

Environmental, Social and Governance Funds.

Will they be perfect? NOPE. Will I lose out on tons of money? Probably.

Will I live knowing I attempted and have a bit more of a clear conscience? ABSOLUTELY!

@not_a_label@toot.lgbt ​Honestly, I don't care about my retirement. I've thought for a long time there was massive fraud in the market. How can Tesla lose what was it like 75% of it's profits and it's stock go up the next day?

So I'm fine taking the hit, as I've never expected to be able to retire, even though I save.

But I just spoke to my banker who talked to me about ESG Funds. Environmental, Social and Governance funds. They're not going to be perfect, but they'll be better than right now.

@chebra@mstdn.io ​wow really?!? Yeesh.

@liaizon@social.wake.st thank you for catching and filing that bug!

@janWilejan@snug.moe thank you!​

Idk anything about investments, so someone let me know if this is possible or not, but I just managed my banker than handles my retirement and told them to not invest in any businesses involved with Epstein. Like Microsoft.

I can't in good conscience have my money going to support a giant company that had ties like that. Bill Gates for instance is in there MANY times.

And thankfully the folks at Epstein exposed.com has made a wonderful database showing all the businesses that have ties to him.

I'll be contacting my representatives in the morning as well to find out why they aren't doing more about this blatant and incompetent cover up.

@fediforum@mastodon.social ​I DID? Man, what an awesome guy I am. And terribly terribly humble. The most humble maybe. Surely.

SUPER excited for the upcoming #FediForum ! Can't wait to talk with y'all!

Did you ever post a project and think to yourself "wow that went way easier than I remember it being." And then realized 30 min later that's because you didn't actually do the work?

Yeah I posted the recording of Hannah and I and I COMPLETELY forgot to actually do any kind of video editting, which includes the intro!

So! I'm going to do that now and reupload it the VOD, but it should be the same URL, it'll just be swapped in place.

Thank you again to @haubles@hachyderm.io for joining me on this episode of Fireside Fedi.

I'm having some technical difficulties, so please go check out the episode on TubeFree.org
