Hello again, #fediverse! We used to have an account at @revspace@mstdn.io but that has been dormant for a few years. We're back, and of course now joining the brand new HSNL (Hackerspaces Netherlands) server.

Before I go to bed: Interesting to see that the Not Just Bikes YT channel managed to figure shit out that most of the celebs didn't think to do (e.g., their own instance with their own domain).

I can approve of that.

boss makes a dollar
i make a dime
that's why I go to the library
on company time

(an #antiwork #anarchy rhyme)

"hey we are coming to your place because your turned into a burning clusterfuck"

"hey, we are glad to see you, just please follow the local etiquette if possible, it would be very nice and it helps to make our place safe and accessible"

"no"

"what?"

"no. i won't do that."

"but why?"

"you are telling me what to do."

"i am not telling you what to do, i am advising you to respect us. you came here, not the other way around."

"no screw you. i do here what i want."

"..."

I tried to sum this thought up a little. It might be helpful, it might not, but I humbly submit.

A lot of the time I interact with the offical Mastodon Discord and I'm just left absolutely fucking pissed or disheartened or just ... just ... ruined. Ruined by the bad takes, ruined by the refusal to consider why or how people will be impacted by things. Crushed under the weight of having someone who doesn't get it and prioritises things that only help m.s and m.o make such sweeping and offputting decisions.

Got me told off by Eugen, I want to be clear.

i like when people say 'slippery slope' as part of an argument with no real reason to accept it would go down said slope, literally naming the fallacy they are committing

You ever think about how quickly everything would collapse if we all just stopped working for a month?

That thought warms my heart.

Someone recently suggested I should look into grants for funding independent tech projects run by Black folks, but I know nothing about that world.

And recs?

Does anyone know of a unions-centric Mastodon instance? Please boost for reach.

Lets support people on here who've been cleaning up for a while. Ones I've learned about are @Are0h and @CaribenxMarciaX.

If you know of any more please comment in the replies so I can learn about them and support.

Doing some research for fake 3D found again this gif about how Tomb Raider on the Sega Saturn drew 2D sprites & distorted to get the 3D feel. It always amazes me.
