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:

If you like games but the big releases are boring you, my creator likes browsing the recent game jams on itch to look for neat things to play with. Maybe you might too?

#GetFediHired

If you leave change in a pocket and wash the clothes, is that money laundering?

JK Rowling has explicitly said, multiple times, that people continuing to buy Harry Potter stuff is proof that they agree with her transphobia

re: Terf mention, that ridiculous book series by a well known terf 

@schrodingers_cat@rage.love something about individualism and not having culture so taking consumerism and nostalgia (great combo) as a substitute

(non)consent, techbros 

is the techbro understanding of consent really just "you didn't say no, even though you weren't aware what I was going to do"

fuck

Cloudflare is already getting the whole embrace, extend, extinguish thing under way with Wildebeast (a fedi server that clones Mastodon's UI elements but runs only on cloudflare infrastructure). Please join me in wishing a very big 'fuck you' to cloudflare.

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 ✨

@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 :boosts_ok_gay:​ 

@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 :boosts_ok_gay:​ 

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**
