Since there seems to be some disagreement about whether federating with threads is a good idea or not (eyeroll), I've switched to this account. The server isn't stable and might pop up and down. That'll be normal for a bit.

@DebR @SallyStrange mmmmm. have you ever once noticed a fascist display of power that ended up only being "temporary"?

@xgranade @SallyStrange "bipartisan!" ooooooh man so close to seeing the truth of the problem, there. so close.

you ever think about how the standard cartoon bomb (a large blue or black sphere with a big fuse coming out the top) is essentially the "save icon" of destruction, because 1) it's symbolic meaning is widely understood, and 2) it's an anachronism that is widely recognized only for its symbolic meaning as its real life counterpart is long obsolete?

aud,

@aeva genuinely curious: has any bomb ever looked like this? how did this bomb shape even come about? did it just cartoonishly morph from a grenade? or did grenades morph from this?

was mr. abomba's original design a sphere with a wick?

aud,

@aeva WAIT does this mean we should do away with the recycle bin icon in favor of a bomb?!

let's be honest, it'd be more honest all around. Especially given how a ton of our recycling is likely just burnt.

ok I got another recording of the thing finally. This was recorded on a faster computer than my laptop, so unfortunately it doesn't have the really cool long convergence artifact thing going on. I really hate what the video encoding is doing here, but such is life.

it's a video of a rotating abstract ring thingy that is light by several lights which create colorful shadows. the video encoding is terrible, but it looks ok I guess

aud,

@aeva that’s so pretty!!

@xgranade it somehow just becomes more and more

Which I am happy with! Because I think that is how this type of media (revolving around war and corporate control) should be. But… yes.

So I knew that cars make you lose your perception of the humanity of others, but I guess I was a little surprised at just how many people were fully ready to ram their car directly into my body as I was walking a picket line. "I will do a vehicular assault to avoid having to walk 10 extra minutes" is peak LA culture.

aud,

@jonny holy shit. Did any of them hit you or others?? Are you okay?

aud,

@jonny holy fuck. What the fuck. I am so sorry

I know I can come across as a Very Cranky Kitten but if you'd like to learn how to navigate and install any Linux distro I would be perfectly happy to help you however I can! Letting me know your needs (gaming? art? writing? communication?), level of tech expertise and comfort (automatic updates? etc), needs and workflow, I can almost certainly help you choose and install something!

aud,

Also as much as I have unreciprocated beef with Canonical this would be a fantastic time for them to modernize and resurrect their "email/mail us and we'll send you a CD-ROM with Ubuntu" program they did ages ago with "email/mail/text us and we'll send you a USB stick"

I'm sure ol Marky Mark can afford it.

"For Microsoft, Israel’s extensive prison system is a lucrative opportunity. Since 2017, the company has been providing Microsoft Cloud Services (MCS) software consulting services, year over year, to the Israel Prison Service (IPS), where Palestinians who are charged in military courts face a 99.9% conviction rate–and where over 10,000 Palestinans in the occupied West Bank have been held without trial since October 7 [31].

In 2021, Microsoft signed a $211,000 contract to provide similar consulting services to the IPS for the following year [32]. Similar carceral products and services are being exported to repressive governments around the world, and even used by police forces in major American cities like New York, LA, D.C., and Seattle [33].

To quote directly from Microsoft News: “Digital transformation makes it possible to consider prison as a business” [34]."

aud,

@danblondell @jalcine Thoughts and prayers? I took Thoughts and Prayers to action and hustled my way to monetization by applying leadership skills at scale. Our Thoughts and Prayers have a 100% turnaround now and we're a fortune 500 low hanging fruit unicorn about to have the biggest IPO ever. Interested? We scaled our actions to reach 100% of our customers; now, they're the ones thinking and praying about US. It's just a small success story, it's true, but it's what the girlboss manchild grindset mindfuck can do for you, too.

All the Bing search engines being down certainly sparks a certain sense of urgency in me to get my ass in gear and start working on p2p web search. I thought we had another year or two

aud,

@jonny I dream of search engine software that libraries can fire up some old hardware for and link together en masse.

@AnarchoNinaWrites it eats up 10% of your fucking hard drive space to create a literal goddamn golden target for anyone to try and steal

I just

“Do you want to lose 10% of your hard drive space? We’ll fill it with incriminating, confidential, embarrassing, and black-mailable information we’ve made your computer keep of you!”

I cannot, under any circumstance, overemphasize what a phenomenally bad horsefuckingly awful idea this is. Like. Just. Wow. This is literally the kind of shit people actively work to keep out of operating systems.

There is no fucking encryption in existence that I would trust to keep 3 months of my PC usage secret. And I’m not even doing shit that would get me targeted by a goddamn hostile nation state or anything.

Code is good and all but have you ever listened to the blessed silence of a CPU breathing its last gasp as it loses the ability to spy on you.

alright, this thought almost made me sympathize with the CPU because I am a soft girl

If this absolute fraud keeps going, soon it won't even be possible to build your own Linux desktop from parts without getting a CPU that is built from the ground-up for putting stolen art through a meat grinder and turning it into anime pfps.

My (27F) enemies (21F, 27N, 36F, 29F, 19N) have formed a polycule

aud,

@whitequark they're obviously trying to taunt you enough to become an enemy and therefore eligible to join your polycule.

aud,

@whitequark I think forming a polycule is indeed separate from joining one ; )
