Installing an adblocker is the gateway drug into anti-consumerism, which is in turn the gateway drug into anti-capitalism.
Tell all your friends how to install adblockers.

@enby_of_the_apocalypse I never realized how weird my sleep was until I got a morning-person desk job and after a year or so could barely function at any time of day whatsoever
It's absolutely a form of violence to make non-morning-people have to adhere to that schedule

I'm seeing a lot of proclamations that there should be no exceptions to describing your images or that there's no reason to interact with any that aren't described.
I know these mean well, but they are themselves ableist.
Disabled people know that access needs can clash. I benefit from described images, but I know some people struggle to write them because of their own disabilities.
And that's okay! The culture of image descriptions is great here but it should never be absolutist.

Enbies who speak German: what are your favorite pronouns? What are yours? What are the common ones?
Boosts welcome

wow I would love to improve my privacy by using dns over https I wonder who the top provider is, im sure it's a group of people trying to make better privacy friendly services
physical appearance, parents
@kescher Similar here... even as a little kid, I never understood why my parents insisted on having my hair cut, it looked fine to me 🤷
physical appearance ++
@kescher I think it looks amazing tbh :D
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev "Don't swear around children" is performative nonsense, though
FOSS Rec? (Help Wanted)
@eleanorkonik @Lindsaythelibrarian@scholar.social Hmmm. I'm trying to understand their business model, but the Pricing page links to an OpenCollective...? But they're hiring...?
Do you happen to know how this all fits together?
@stolas_mk2@tech.lgbt In NL, it's typically called "minigolf".
@kim @ln@chaos.social Honestly I'd unironically love to see a caffeine-free version of both
@kim @ln@chaos.social Hmm, I'd say that there are *some* exceptions to that - Monster Mango comes to mind (which definitely tastes more like juice), and Lidl's blackcurrant energy drink (this one might be specific to NL?) which tastes like more intense and slightly lemon-y blackcurrant soda.
@eleanorkonik https://thecorrespondent.com/541/why-we-should-give-free-money-to-everyone/20798745-cb9fbb39 comes to mind for me (though I'd originally read the Dutch version)
@oya Wait, what did I miss?
@DuckForTheDuck Ahzo. Mja, da's een lastig onderwerp - een hoop mensen lijken 'trans' te definieren als "gender doesn't match assigned at birth", en onder die definitie zijn ~alle non-binaire mensen inderdaad trans, want ~niemand krijgt non-binair assigned at birth.
Zelf beschouw ik mezelf dan weer niet echt als trans, omdat ik qua genderexpressie dicht genoeg in de buurt zit van wat mensen verwachten, dat ik gewoon niet dezelfde 'lived experience' heb, zeg maar.
Verder geen idee of daar een specifieke term voor is, maar het is voor mij persoonlijk iig ook weer niet iets dat problemen oplevert, zeg maar

I can't move to the Fediverse properly until I reproduce my famous pinned post from the birdsite, so here it is:
P.S.A. To all vintage computer and video game collectors:
Go through your collections and GET THE DAMN BATTERIES OUT!
Now! Don't wait! Seriously, put down the phone, go to your collection and take out all the batteries. Right now! Even if they look "okay" they are NOT SAFE after this much time.
@aeva@mastodon.social Oh and of course they're still sending migration threats to people who have already opted out, because apparently Google can't afford to do accurate statekeeping for a few thousand accounts
@aeva@mastodon.social Well... they've been backpeddling already, offering "non-commercial" users the option to "opt out of the transition" and keep their old free plan with no billing "for the foreseeable future", so I think somebody over there finally woke up
Of course this is wayyyyyy too late and they've already lost the trust of everybody, and people seem to be using it mostly to get an extension of their migration timeline
