@piegames Oh sure. That was the implicit context in this case, given everybody suddenly panicking about 'loss of sovereignity' over here for the past month or so.
Two hours of first-person footage of firefighters responding to a major forest/heath fire in the Netherlands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiwPuEkh810
(CW: It can get pretty scary/intense at times)
@the_lemonaut This is great!
Would it be okay for me to print these out a couple of times in zine-y format, so that I can give them to others and/or leave one in a few places? (At no charge to them)
A rant on why I think we need realistic Solarpunk, plus some other thing 1/2 ☀️
Felt compelled to make this. It will finally stop floating around in my head 🎉

corporate culture, suicide of a worker
Anyone up for a bet on how many Koa applications are unknowingly running with this default configuration being used for authenticating users?
programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like
"GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.
GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.
See why Microsoft, OpenAI and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."
and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is
Anyone here know what happened to Ektoplazm, by any chance?

@mynameistillian I'm not @flesh, but: if you're looking for a new hobby, NixOS (or realistically, what comes out of its community fork-wise, like Lix and such) is an interesting option.
If you want something that Just Works, I've noticed that the Pop! OS folks have by far the best attitude when it comes to "if it doesn't work like people expect, that's a bug, even if it was designed that way", but I haven't actually had a reason to *use* it myself so I don't know how far they've gotten from a technical perspective
If someone wants to summarize what I said with an LLM I think the only reasonable response is to pepper the training dataset with GO FUCK YOURSELF signed by me with my real name addressed directly to you. Maybe that way your dramatically overfit surveillance bot confuses its attention matrix with confidence and gives me direct control over your fucking home thermostat or morning alarm clock. In biological signaling we say "a costly signal is a true signal" and you signaling this hard you trust your life to a suggestible text-based advertising machine suggests I would truly be able to dominate your perception of truth with like $20 of google ad spend.

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.
