@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt That's the "peak" of night coldness, more or less, so my bet is a heating system?

You can´t be a #feminist if you don´t actively fight #racism
This is not gate keeping
That means calling out your friends for casual racism
especially if they are queer.
As queer people we should strive to be more accepting than other communities and yet I see people being casually racist all the time.
And there are few things that make my skin crawl more than a queer person discriminating against other people

I hate that over time we've grown up into the idea that every hobby, every artistic venture, every self expression has to be worth something monetarily. It has to be profitable. It has to boost sales, boost visibility, boost your worth as a person by getting attention.
That isn't healthy!
It promotes the idea that your art output is tied to your inherent worth as a person in this crapitalist nightmare. But it's not.
Your art is your own. You are more than numbers.
@cosmo @Doridian Well I wouldn't recommend Telegram for this case - their E2EE is disabled by default, and even when it's enabled, it's pretty sketchy homegrown crypto that cryptographers don't generally take seriously.
Either Matrix or Signal would be fine though, and those pretty much also just involve "installing one app"...
@dznz @aurynn This is such a pervasive belief and I hate it. I'm so tired of people assuming that I (or anybody else really) must not care about the quality of service just because I'm not trying to turn a profit. Especially because I *know* what an absolute tire fire most tech companies are behind the scenes...

@aurynn I think it's built on an underpinning of "professional" as complement, and "amateur" or "hobbyist" as a pejorative - the presence of money somehow magically transforming people into the former.

There is no admin interface for reading DMs, I'd have to go write SQL.
This isn't really a thing that admins do, it's concern trolling from disingenuous people trying to make the fedi look worse.
Why are people making loud construction noises at 07:30, what is this shit, that's unreasonably early even for the neurotypicals
@aral Keep in mind that that's your typical speculative economy-pages article, though - if you read carefully, you'll notice that nowhere does it reference any kind of actual indication from Musk that he's getting cold feet, it's only inferring from "market conditions".

Dutch sexual abuse case
Will people now please finally see Johan Derksen for the absolute piece of shit he always has been and permaban him from tv
@else Yep AFAIK this is already a requirement in various places - not everywhere, but probably enough places that manufacturers would just add it by default to have a consistent thing to produce
@else Good news: it would likely already have external speakers because of legal requirements to simulate engine noise, so you could probably just hack those
@anxiousBug@kolektiva.social @avad@kolektiva.social You *can* create a column in Mastodon web that tracks a certain hashtag or set of hashtags, though that's in the Tweetdeck-style "advanced interface", dunno if it also exists in the regular one
Test please ignore

Can I get a "fuck landlords" in the chat
tech, politics (sort of?), long
@alexispurslane Yeah, if you need something that Just Works, then I definitely wouldn't recommend hopping over to NixOS - or at least just running it in a VM to experiment with, or so.
Basically, you should expect to need at least a week to find your way around it in its current state (it works *very* differently from other distros!), and several months of intermittently running into things where you're not quite sure how to approach them on NixOS.
That having been said, complicated drivers (like eg. GPU drivers) are actually notably one of the things that's much easier on NixOS than on most other distros :)
Not in the least because you can just boot into an older version of your system from the bootloader, if you mess up some system/kernel configuration - and AFAIK all of the drivers are packaged in nixpkgs by default, including the proprietary and weird ones.
@alexispurslane Hmm, what's the correct way to shave one's legs anyway?

Instance recommendations for mental health positive / awareness communities, go! (Not for me ^.^)
