It is morally correct to pirate Paramount content then complain about how shit it is anyway.

Omg it is Loss

I imagine Republicans are doing this not only in the name of the Culture War, but to cultivate an under educated class of manipulable labor (possibly with indentured servitude as the end goal). They know that current and future students will have a harder time leaving for greener pastures due to not being competitive potential hires.

Most of the companies I've worked for have a diverse workforce. As Globalization continues, this will be true for more and more companies. Why would such a company hire someone who doesn't know how to interact with non-white non-cis-male team members because they think their entire existence is taboo? It is a skills-gap issue at the end of the day.

Anyway, that's my civil take on the matter...

I would let green Shakira do terrible things to me.

Found one of these in the firmware zip file of my soundbar today.

Everyone keeps repeating that defederation should be a last resort. Fine, but we should also acknowledge that the list of resorts is very short:

1. Server admins talk to the admins of the server hosting the offending community, in an attempt to get them to clean their house. If they don't;

2. Defederate.

There really isn't anything else for server operators to do that isn't just letting the offending community continue unabated.

Offloading the responsibility to individual users to block users / communities is lazy. Most of us don't want to spend our limited time playing whack-a-mole.

I suspect we'll see user accounts shuffling around so that they land on a home server whose defederation policy matches their preferences.

maga are oath breaking liars and murderers.

The WSJ is a right wing rag, unfit for toilet paper. No one should be surprised they publish half wit musings.

This is some real life Severance shit.

You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl's Jr.

On the plus side, Mr. Mime will be able to spend more time with Ash's mom.

Wendy's arbitrage was not on my Bingo card.

Nothing matters :(

vs.

Nothing matters >:D

I find solace in the latter.

Sadammit you got me

How do you all discover new RSS feeds to subscribe to?

This post really shows how old I am, because I immediately thought "does anyone actually compose on a mobile device?" The experience is so bad I limit my own mobile compositions to message responses like "k" and "lol".

I wrote this comment on my phone and it was an awful experience 🙃. But hey, at least my keyboard app suggested a silly emoji...

I'll continue to do my "real" writing on my desktop for now. Integration apps like KDEConnect have been enough for me to get by, but they aren't perfect either.

Apple is still tracking you, they just aren't as donkey-brained as Microsoft.

So are we crowdfunding bounties on these degenerates' heads or are we still in the "we can vote our way out of this" phase?

I'm not such a monkey, and I could probably contribute if I put my mind to it, but I just don't have the time.... Instead I try to contribute documentation and money when I can. Everything helps!
