another call for left unity implying that "dividing the left" is for the privileged. actually, it's a luxury to be able to treat genocide denial/apologism and defense of incarceration as abstract differences of opinion.

@plomlompom My usual heuristic is "are they trying to sell me something, either directly or via affiliate links?" -- if yes, then they are probably not trustworthy.

i worry that people will think it's linux's fault when my computer doesn't work when it's actually my fault.

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Though I am less convinced by the implication that the higher-ups actually listened to a painter raising a concern

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev This sounds 100% plausible to me

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Good to see that at least *some* people spot-check their abbreviations before settling on a name :p

subpost 

@kescher In fairness, that demographic matches pretty well with "unwarranted sense of self-importance, and completely oblivious to the fact that they are not actually wanted in most spaces"

Rant about open-source governance 

@n0toose@chaos.social The rule of thumb I tend to follow personally is "you owe people what you imply". If you want to provide a no-support-whatsoever service, totally fine, but just be honest about it upfront! And if you are trying to actively convince people to use it, then don't be surprised when people turn out to have the associated expectations...

sex work idk 

Hi all.

My gf just got shadow-banned from Reddit for doing sex work there (NSFW pictures and commissions of the same), and she really needs to find a safe place online to do that now. I don't know much about that world, but if anyone could help us out that would be really appreciated. ❤️

@DuckForTheDuck Heb ik ook, enige jaar dat ik dit probleem niet had was toen ik een hele winter zonder verwarming gedaan had, blijkbaar helpt dat nogal qua temperatuur reguleren... dagelijkse wisseldouches helpen ook wel een beetje though

Got an email from Meetup. They've finally zeroed in on the sort of groups I'd be interested in.

When I was a kid, they made being smart sound like it was the most important quality of a human being. Turns out that was a crock of shit.

capitalism observation, "torment nexus", death mention, fascism mention, squid game 

it's funny how there are shitloads of cautionary and historical tales about ppl being forced to fight each other to the death (tributes of panem, gladiator, etc), all of whom have basically fascists as the antagonists, and noone would have ever considered turning these into a reality show, bc that's just so bad and terrible and yea don't make the torment nexus.

but then a show of exactly this type comes up, except their fascist antagonists are neolib-painted and have a happy corporate style, and suddenly it is acceptable to turn it into a reality show.

the lesson is that making a story about ppl being murdered "real" is socially acceptable as long as the murderers are neolibs
