@raboof @winduptoy Ahh, Vimexx. They don't exactly have the best reputation...
If anyone going to church in broad daylight says that they are "fearful of the homeless outside of their church" I'm always going to instantly and immediately ask them why they are not inviting said homeless inside of their church.
Like, it's been a minute since I read the bible but I'm pretty sure there were one or two passages about this in those pages.
For real, people. If you've got a roof and money in your pocket ask yourself why you're "fearful" of your unhoused neighbors.
#ToTheLeft 0/365
In 2023 I'll share 365 songs on lefty themes (for want of a better description). I've got around 200ish to go at as I write this. Fingers crossed this time next year I'll be posting the last one! They will come in different shapes and sizes and genres and levels of overtness. My hope is that you find something to mix into your own playlists like a secret ingredient and share them about to radicalise yer mates x
#ToTheLeft, #ToTheLeft, every lefty song in the box to the left:

JK Rowling has explicitly said, multiple times, that people continuing to buy Harry Potter stuff is proof that they agree with her transphobia
Stop giving this bigot money
Celebrating Silicon Valley billionaires and venture capitalists showing an interest in the fediverse is like celebrating wolves showing an interest in your chicken coop.

oooohkay, managed to make a buuunch of progress today (see ALT text for more info)
the #rust code is fully integrated with #GodotEngine, but it needs some final things to be 100% (mostly QoL and integration stuff)
biggest hurdles were trying to wrap my mind around Instance<T>, ToVariant and other memory / access related things between rust and godot
once i got a hang of it, it's quite easy to keep moving forward, and didn't have to write any `unsafe` statements ✨
re: Searchtodon meta, scraping related
@f0x Oh, and let's not forget Signal of course.
@bstacey @f0x @janl@chaos.social Exactly this. A lot of safety features and conventions on Mastodon are the result of people having to endlessly push Eugen to do the right thing, *not* the result of some decree from above.
And more fundamentally, Eugen does not dictate what "consent" looks like on fedi. Eugen is just a software developer.
re: Searchtodon meta, scraping related
@f0x This is unfortunately a pattern I've seen a lot in security circles as well, where supposedly security-critical people turn off their skepticism when someone with enough charisma/clout proposes a bad idea, and it's how we got Intel SGX, Cloudflare, and so on.
re: Searchtodon meta, scraping related
also for fucks sake
> That said, I think the Mastodon community will have to have to come to terms with “trust they follow me” and delegating that trust to third parties that are fun or useful.

No we fucking don't. We've been posting fine here for YEARS without having to come to terms with that. Figures now that this account is a recent join too.
Why do they always bring the "it's the inevitable future" arguments when **they're the ones making that ""inevitable"" future**
In the process of moving to @joepie91. This account will stay active for the foreseeable future! But please also follow the other one.

Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
