@thufie pff who needs reconfiguration that my NixOS server roams across moving perfectly fine

Another week, another hip "twice as fast as React" library where the fine print is that it doesn't handle edgecases

How to draw foxes! Tip no. 1:
Foxes are just shapes.

Including and especially the truncated great icosahedron.

@FuchsiaShock oof same for me, 25.6° Hope it cools down before I get home

@gwenprime but can you put "no thoughts" in an empty head, or will that make it no longer empty

I really put the "head empty" in "no thoughts"

Remote Coke Execution (RCE)

This week really needs another reminder that ‘respect for the dead’ is demanded by the oppressor, but not given in return. To not speak ill is another form of ‘being nice’, of decorum imposed by a white supremacist society.

Celebrating the death of evil men is a form of punching up, a final form of accountability that they eluded in life, and a speaking out against which their privileged position can no longer protect them.

Rejoice in their passing. The blood on their hands demands it.

@wgahnagl @monorail replying 'yea..' to all of this as a Mastodon admin, and "yes let's make it happen" as a GoToSocial dev :3

@wgahnagl when will reports start marking themselves as resolved when you suspend the instance

when will the moderation interface allow you to respond to reports with an instance ban

yesterday I paused this live set and it's on the funniest freeze frame of someone in the crowd looking shocked dressed in what I can only describe as Minion-core

reddit implosion, rant about privilege, call-out 

I *really* hope that people will draw lessons from the current Reddit implosion, particularly those who are privileged enough to be able to build their own alternatives.

I'm so, so tired of this endless cycle of "people build marginalized communities on VC-funded platforms because there's no other viable options, then the mods burn out because of bad support from the platform, and eventually the platform hangs them out to dry and destroys the communities".

And this isn't to blame *only* on the VC-funded platforms themselves, either. I can think of quite a few well-off people who certainly have the means to build something better, but chose not to, because using Reddit or whatever was easier.

If you're a well-paid software developer who spends most of their time being excited about new tech, rather than spending it being concerned about their own safety or health, then I am talking about you. Yes, also if you're queer.

Solidarity also means putting in the work that you are able to, to help others who can't. Not just going "uwu I'm so queer" and pulling up the ladder behind you just because *you* are comfortable.
