here's your periodic reminder that if you're in a country with a weaker currency than the US (India, Brazil, etc), there's a discount to make the zines more affordable. You can see it in action here:

If you're in a country this applies to, you should see something like this:

    G’morning, all! And a special shout out to the folks here in Ireland: please go out and vote today in the local and EU elections. As lefty as you can. They’re all imperfect systems but at least we have proportional representation here and that’s way better than what most folks have. And we must fight the rise of fascism here and in the EU. This is one – of many – ways we do that. So please, go out and vote.

    Quick heads up: Kitten’s installer/downloads will be offline for a few minutes as I recreate kittens.small-web.org (the site that new Kittens are deployed to when they’re born) as it was originally on Ubuntu and sites deployed by Domain are now using AlmaLinux. Also, I am setting Kitten’s API version to 0 (it was initially set to 1) to signal that it is prerelease. When the version is back to 1 it will be because API version 1 is stable.

    They’re the little tools I’m working on to make the Small Web¹ a thing that exists.

    I was sad to find a surprising lack of visual scripting apps for Linux. Apple's Shortcuts app is very powerful and can be incredibly useful. It's not like we don't have the technical ability to make something similar.

    So I started working on one myself :blobfoxfloofcofe:

    Slightly related to companies using capital and resources to consolidate market power, I did see a TikTok today that led me to this: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/21/technology/apple-doj-lawsuit-antitrust.html

    The US government has been saying F/LOSS advocates have been saying for decades, following:

    "The department joined 16 states and the District of Columbia to file a significant challenge to the reach and influence of Apple, arguing in an 88-page lawsuit that the company had violated antitrust laws with practices that were intended to keep customers reliant on their iPhones and less likely to switch to a competing device. The tech giant prevented other companies from offering applications that compete with Apple products like its digital wallet, which could diminish the value of the iPhone, and hurts consumers and smaller companies that compete with it, the government said".

    Undue loyalty to the company (or to any, companies aren't people) hasn't ever been merited and this is a ringing reminder.

    "We need to identify each juror. Then make them miserable. Maybe even suicidal,” wrote another user on the same forum. “1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to washington and hang everyone. That’s the only solution, this shit is out of control.”

    “I hope every juror is doxxed and they pay for what they have done,” another user wrote on Trump’s Truth Social platform Thursday. “May God strike them dead. We will on November 5th and they will pay!”
