This is your regular reminder that, despite the mass denial everywhere around you, the minimising and the disinformation:
Avoiding infection from a potentially deadly and possibly disabling disease is the right thing to do.
Your health matters a lot.
You're doing great.
Don't need to be perfect, just the best you can sustain, because we're in it for the long haul.
Take care of yourself and each other.
That part of "bypassing much of the agency individual people might otherwise have to avoid them" is reflected in #Google integrating #Bard into android messenger. While academics worry about AI sentience and toy with them as objects of study, this is capitalism baby, and the information conglomerates came to kill each other and capture the market now that investors are calling due on stagnant ad money. It doesnt matter if the LLMs work. That's about as effective of an argument as saying politicians lie. Theyre just the pretense for a new modality of surveillance spanning individuals, groups, businesses, and governments.
Tod, Auto, Fahrrad
#natenom wurde gestern von der Straße geschossen. Und getötet. Nein, nicht er 'kollidierte' mit dem Auto und 'erlitt [tödliche] Verletzungen', wie die lokalen Zeitungen apologisierend berichten.
Ich kenne ihn erst seit kurzem aus dem #Fediverse , aber seine Berichte aus #Fahrradmordor sprachen mir als #Alltagsradler und #Velomobil-Fahrer aus der Seele.

This is your irregularly scheduled reminder that Christianity is just one kind of religion and not the universal human standard for any and all religions.
Atheists, especially, please tale note. When you make this mistake* you work to further Christian hegemony, which is theoretically counter to your stated goals.
…
* A mistake repeated enough times starts to look purposeful.
@jacksonchen666 (It looks like some level of automation may be involved there? If not, that definitely looks exactly like 'heading for burnout' to me)
Vraag niet wat het land voor jou doen kan, maar vraag wat jij kunt doen tegen de pvv. #FCKPVV
@ionica Hmm, ik las wel de paragraaf voor de tekst die ernaast stond :p
@eater Yeah, search for Smurfit Kappa Parenco and look at the reviews for example
Heeft er iemand suggesties voor een links-activistisch #Matrix-kanaal?
Hoeft niet per se activisme als aangewezen onderwerp te hebben, het gaat me er meer om dat de community duidelijk inclusief en activistisch ingesteld is (en dat het niet alleen maar een linkdump is van deprimerende nieuwsberichten o.i.d.)
In the process of moving to @joepie91. This account will stay active for the foreseeable future! But please also follow the other one.

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
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.
