uspol, angry 

trump brought back the death penalty and explicitly recommended using it on illegal immigrants but tell me again that it was just about us trans people protecting our own hides

we need queer infighting to stop like *now*.

zero time and patience for shit like "he/him lesbians don't exist!!" or "therians are not valid" or some shit. stop reinventing bigotry just to be on the side you think the leopards wont eat the faces of.

go and fight for each other.

Wow, this is a very impressive (and obvious in hindsight) abuse of Cloudflare to find the locations of arbitrary users of basically any app that uses Cloudflare, including Signal, Discord, ...: gist.github.com/hackermondev/4

I hope @signalapp takes note of this and adjusts their CF caching settings, or ideally Cloudflare comes up with a mitigation for everyone.

You moved off FriendHole because of the accusations against the programmer, and now you're trying FishingFox instead. All your friends and their posts are already there, just like they were on FriendHole, it's all the same on like the techy programmy level, but FishingFox is better anyway because it has cool animations.

And they're not just for show, they actually do something too. See, every post floats gently down a pixelly river, and there's this lil fox guy sat on the bank with a fishing rod. You can scroll through the river like any other app, but if you tap on the fox, then whatever post happens to be under his rod at the time, he reels it in and walks over to another screen and asks you where you wanna put it for safekeeping.

But where do you wanna put it! You've got all these boxes, and those boxes can go inside other boxes, like your hard drive y'know? You might put a post in recipes/bread/sweet, or diy/wood/plans, that kinda thing. The boxes are good because it doesn't matter how old a post is, you can still get to it easily, you don't have to scroll back through the time stream to remember when you saved it, you just have to remember what it's about.

Cool thing is, you can mark these boxes as open boxes, and folk can come and rummage through them if they want. Alex has a box per car, with all, like, service manuals and shaft photos and stuff, and Jim has a garden box and inside that he's meticulously placed one box per tree and kept logs of when it was planted and fertilized etc. Someone posts a question you know about, you go "Oh dude check my boxes, I got whole boxes full of that stuff," you feel useful.

When you tap on Alex's boxes, there's a lil pixel raccoon in the corner saying hi. That's because Alex is vegan, and doesn't like the fishing fox, and uses the raccoon sifting trash out of the stream with a net instead.

You're vaguely aware that some folk would call your boxes a "website" but it's nowhere near that complicated, you're not gonna go learn about HTML and servers and all that crap just to save some wiring diagrams, you just tap on things and tell the fox where to put them, and everything's neat and tidy and organized.

Well, YOUR boxes are neat and tidy and organized anyway, Jen's are just labelled BIRDS and NOT BIRDS

uspol, autism 

prob preaching to the choir a bit but it makes my blood boil seeing neurotypicals use autism only as a cover for ghoul behavior and never anything else, like the response to that should be “why don’t hiring managers ever think that about someone not making eye contact, why is it only about being a literal nazi”?

Ok folks! Introducing a new tag in the #hopepunk vein:

#spoonieTown as a place to dream about what life would be like in an area and culture of rest and care and chill. The Slow Down and Heal refuge from the FAFO world.

Let's hear your spoonie town dreams, big and small.

[edit: hey trunkies, can ya'll comment on the #spoonieTown tag and not @ me, my mentions are swamped 🤯 Danka! ]

nazi, uspol 

Hitler was right on one thing: he thought Göring was a loser. A pathetic guy clinging to Hitlers power thinking he’s super smart and secretly better than him. Elon is a lot like Göring, in many ways, but definitely in the pathetic loser way. Trump, like Hitler, has probably already figured this out as well.

Now's a good reminder: Unsub from Spotify. Your subscription doesn't pay the artists, it pays for Joe Rogan's podcast.

getting upset at bad pop-psy advice 

"I've found this works for me": boring, subjective, implies you have to try stuff, invites community discussion (booo)

neuropsychology technobabble: sage, exciting, objective, shareable™, nobody understands what you're saying so you're automatically correct

getting upset at bad pop-psy advice 

easiest way to detect pop-psy bullshit is always the way they mention neurotransmitters in a way that implies we had any idea what they did. What's dopamine do? who tf knows. it's "involved" in a lot of things. people who study it for a living can't even agree on half of it. I'm sure the detailed advice you're gonna give me based on your pet theory of how it works is going to be great though.

Depending on your job you probably have in the past made compromises. Maybe to keep your job. Maybe to survive. This is a bright line. If you are asked to be the one to update the table don't let it be your fingers typing those changes.

If you can't just say "No I won't do that." Stall, run away, feign incompetence. Just don't let it happen.

I suspect this might be where the rubber hits the road first for us around here.

Nothing has changed. You do not have to do it. It is not even ordained.

Walking down the street on a sunny day and seeing my shadow with pointy ears and a muzzle is one of the most θΔ things possible, I love it

@Violet (Commercial products using that sensor will probably be more expensive though, because of markup...)

@Violet For Operame (operame.nl) we used a MH-Z19B (and later, an apparent clone) which is also an NDIR sensor AFAIK. Not the highest-quality or most accurate one but it was definitely good enough for the purpose. The whole Operame unit (sensor + display + microcontroller + PCB) ended up costing around 30 EUR in parts I believe.
