3d printer nerds; what do you do with your failed/broken prints? Is there like, someone I can send them to that can grind them down and recycle them into filament?

If you're in Discord communities that store data in Discord and only Discord, start exfiltrating that stuff elsewhere just in case people leave the community over the NFT announcements and delete stuff as they go; or worse, close the community entirely.

If they don't, congrats, you exfiltrated data locked onto one proprietary platform and freed it.

Please please PLEASE boost and share and donate this fundraiser for my friend's partner, who is currently serving a house arrest sentence for bullshit trumped up charges. He needs all the support he can get at this time. Fuck the courts, fuck the cops

We've been discussing how the transphobic spammers are finding targets and a current hypothesis is that they're using a scraper to find the string "trans" in people's bios. For instance it seems I got on the list for having "translator" in my bio.

So if you want to try and prove or disprove this hypothesis and possibly mess up their scraper, I suggest putting the word "trans" somewhere in your bio. Since it's easier to adapt the scraper to get get around trans being part of a word (like "translator" or "transistor"), it might be helpful to add both the words "trans" and "transgender." Example sentences:

"I support transgender rights. Trans rights = human rights."

"I may not be trans but transgender hating script kiddies are too incompetent to tell the difference."

Obviously do this ONLY if you're okay with potentially getting on the trans list. If you don't want to receive spam I suggest turning off DMs and notifs from accounts you don't follow.

If we can't stop the harassment at its source yet, we might be able to dilute or grow the list past usefulness, and hide our trans friends through sheer numbers so they can't be as easily singled out.

If you could potentially be harmed or triggered in any way by images of violence and gore linked with the attacks on NB and trans fedi folk right now, I highly suggest you temporarily turn off notifications and DMs from people you don't follow. You can find these settings in your preferences under notifications at the very bottom.

Stay safe.

people need to relearn every once in a while that your spiritual practices need to be important to you using means and ideas that resonate with you. you pick up and keep what helps you and toss the rest. its not about a set practice of rituals you must adhere to OR else. do you want christians? thats how you get christians.
