Capitalism turns anyone into a fucking soulless ghoul.

Randonneuring

long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy.

It's kind of a ghost town so far. But if we can wrestle control of social media away from corporate control, democracy across the world will be stronger for it. Regardless, I'm here for the long haul, making contributions FAR exceeding my efforts on Reddit.

What a shitshow Reddit is. They banned all of the subreddits I moderate/created this morning.

This is a barely-disguised ad.

This is a great way to check whether the horrible asshole mods from /r/guitar are moderating here without specifically asking. 😂

Why the fuck is Plex even a company? Attention venture capitalists: Get your money grubbing fingers the fuck off decent technologies that should in no way be tied to profit-seeking. We live in a dystopian hellscape.

I only go there to steal content that I then enhance manually. I always had a kneejerk reaction against the hackernews reposts on Reddit. So, I try to make my content cloning less conspicuous and I make sure to enhance the content with more depth when I bring it here.

For-profit healthcare. >70,000 people die per year in the US because they simply cannot go to the doctor due to price gouging. Many finally find out that they have a disease too late when it is already terminal.

It’s disgusting that healthcare and education industries are commodified.

I did this with /r/Cardano mods back before Reddit was blocking all mention of the fediverse even in PM’s. I managed to get one of them to help mod my Cardano communities. I’d wager that it’s exceedingly hard to get in touch with mods over there now that Huffman is blocking fediverse recruitment.

Special education teachers.

Whether you want to admit it or not, the guy has a massive negative effect on your life and American society in general due to his outsized platform and influence. People like you would prefer to shame normal people who want even a tiny shred of agency against oligarch billionaires because you believe that simply ignoring them will suffice. It won’t.

Would you have shamed Hitler’s most vocal critics if you were around before WWII?

IMO, voices of dissent against Elon’s toxic, fascist meddling should be amplified and perpetuated because, if he had his way, the US would be a fascist nation.

But surely, a 3D printer could/can. It's just that the software that runs on it shouldn't have shit security and there should be multiple safeguards and redundant fail-safe systems.

I use xmonad/polybar/rofi/alacritty/fish with Home Manager and flakes. You could just use my whole config and have it up and running in a day, deleting lines and adding others. Fork it and modify it to meet your preferences (as I did when I forked this amazingly slick config). I even made a custom typeface to add my favorite crypto logos to my Polybar.

This glitch is annoying. This link/project is dead in so many different ways.

• It’s not open source.

• The site is down.

• NodeRed actually does what this non-working app says it does.

A few of the communities that I created here, I probably wouldn’t want to mod long-term. They’re a piece of cake at the moment but if the fediverse were to blow up, I’d have to hand them over to someone with more time.

![email protected] , ![email protected] , ![email protected] , ![email protected] , ![email protected] , ![email protected] and a few others were just created to keep those names in safe hands and I’d prefer to safeguard them until I can pass them on to another person who is deeply committed to the collaborative spirit of FOSS and wants to run a community with fair and gentle moderation, no gate-keeping, and not ban-happy like /r/guitar on Reddit.

I’m as leftist as they come and I do not support this action. If you don’t want to see it, mute the instance rather than creating an echo chamber.

Instant upvote for NixOS! ;)

It's hard to find instances that offer what world offers, so I get it.

OTOH, I ended up moving or handing over most of my communities that I had created on world because this instance is TOO popular and bogged down all the time. Plus, they make arbitrary and drastic decisions without discussion on matters like defederation and often banning. It's smart to go to a smaller instance but it's also risky because any instance could go down at any moment. That's why many of my communities are duplicated (across world and infosec) because it would be devastating to lose all of those quality links and engagement.

marketed? Maybe do your own research and stop relying on marketing to make decisions for you. Just because tech is used to scam idiots doesn't mean tech is bad.

The fact that people are easily manipulated is somehow the fault of whoever invented unique ID's? Your logic is not sound.
