Are you:
1. Sick and tired of dealing with the corporate web and the ever-expanding exploitation and complexity that only ever seems to serve commercial interests while ruining everything else, and
2. Someone who *does not* subscribe to the fascism-adjacent "we must return to the bare minimum with no abstractions" ideology of pseudo-simplicity?
Then I have a question for you: what would the 'ideal' system or environment look like, that lets you enjoy tinkering with computers again?
(Only respond if you match *both* points please)

@StroomAfwaarts Dat is inderdaad prima mogelijk (dat kan bijv. Vluchtelingenwerk gewoon organiseren), en dat is ook waarom het zo vreemd is hoe het hier gebracht wordt.

Liberals in the US need to contend with the fact that their empire is the biggest threat to democracy everywhere.

Wat een vaag verhaal is dit. Het geld is opgehaald door derden specifiek om kinderen naar de Efteling te sturen, dus waarom zou het COA hier uberhaupt iets te zeggen hebben over hoe dat besteed wordt...?
@RussSharek Not yet, I haven't quite worked out the details of what I want yet 😅 The question was more a preparatory one, of figuring out where to post it once I do, I didn't quite expect it to get boosted this much!

I posted this on twitter ~3y ago and it struck a chord.
Still relevant?

@Shrigglepuss sigh, I guess I'll have to do it now *adds "husband, father, Christian, free software developer" to my bio*

The internet can be good
(Not sure if it's relevant for the hashtag question, but I'm *not* looking for 'lowest possible price' here)
I want to pay an artist to create some activist art. I don't have any particular artist in mind, and would like to post an 'open request' to which interested artists can respond with eg. a portfolio and quote.
Is there a hashtag for this?
Oh hey, Storybundle is finally sending me the bundle announcements I've been trying to sign up for repeatedly! It stuck this time!

Has anyone seen a study about the effect of handwashing on Covid spread?
(Yes, I know it's airborne. It's just the 'wash your hands for 20 seconds' thing is very persistent.)

love that when your former partner moves out after a breakup that the government just sends you a bunch of letters saying like "HEY YOU'RE SINGLE NOW? DAMN, ANYWAY HERE'S THE FISCAL CONSEQUENCES "

i got tired of seeing the meme with the ai-art otter (i don't even remember what the meme was about) so i quickly sketched an otter holding a sign. i didn't use the original for reference, so the sign proportion is totally different. also i don't often draw otters so this might not look very otterlike. also it's grumpy
feel free to use it however you like

Fediverse. Where would I find a royalty free, or CC recording of ode to joy ?
Needs to be as a file download, so MP3, ogg, flax, etc...

I would just like to say that these signs in the DFW airport bathrooms are peak social engineering, and I do hope Dan Patrick enjoys all the phone calls from people upset about the government photographing their hairy bits.

'Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest and then I will murmur agreement, not actually say anything. I am not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard. But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought.'

pspol, eupol, uspol
Another article talking about how the Freedom Flotilla is being treated in international waters. I CWed it with eu/uspol in addition to pspol because there are both eu and us citizens aboard this vessel. They still have their conscience and just wanted to deliver aid to starving people. Israel is reacting horrifically, as always.
