@Gina This is why I think you were right to question if Mastodon would get dragged into G*b discussion:
Note link in paragraph that reads "Although Gab was deplatformed, it managed to survive by shifting to decentralized technologies and has shown a degree of innovation" goes to an article titled "Challenges in the Decentralised Web: The Mastodon Case"
@scully about half of his discography probably - once my brain gets on a Joe Jackson kick it takes a while to wear off
Looks like Signal is having issues:

Especially cute for me, given my $day_job the past couple of years working on a tree farm growing the things! :-)

We're looking for another mobile developer to join our team at Steamclock. This role will initially focus on Android, but will have a lot of opportunities to work on other platforms as well, including iOS and the web. Come help us build awesome apps. 🌈
USPOL - Jim Jordan
A reminder that Jim Jordan has always covered up abuse:
Hey, so one downside of reversible suspensions in Mastodon 3.3.0 is that due to an oversight, the suspension is only communicated to the account's followers, which is usually far from everyone who needs to know about it. Due to this, a lot of already suspended accounts keep getting reported from other servers. Until we release a fix, consider checking if the account still exists on the original server whenever possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I was interviewed by the #Halifax Examiner for a brief story on my snarky viral image verification account on Twitter: https://www.halifaxexaminer.ca/featured/debunking-fake-supermoons-and-other-internet-garbage/#Noticed

Also looking for something like this but rechargeable?
FYI You can use youtube-dl to download the subtitles too
If you already got the video and just want the subtitles:
youtube-dl --write-sub --sub-lang en --skip-download URL
Where "URL" is the link
This skips the downloading of the video and just gets the English subtitles
Or if you want the auto-generated subtitles:
youtube-dl --write-auto-sub --sub-lang en --skip-download URL
German is "de", Japanese is "jp" and so on...
VLC should be able to play your video with the downloaded subs
