Man, fuck ‘grind culture’ and everybody who glamorizes it.
People need to stop putting value on working so hard they destroy their brains, their bodies, and their relationships.
Just do what you have to do to enjoy what little time you have in this world.

#FreeRadical blog: "We will not join the United Federation of Instances"
The United Federation of Instances is a bad idea, and Free Radical will not participate. The “UFoI” is an organization of fediverse instances making a compact: if an instance enters the compact, and they abide by the group’s Code of Ethics, then all members of the group promise not to [...]

I'll stop being mad about the complete and total lack of any good NB rep in media when I've seen it be handled correctly even once.

good news i ported minesweeper to css. sort of https://cohost.org/lexyeevee/post/571206-minesweeper
@Shine_McShine Mmmm. PINE64 certainly has its own bit of questionable history, unfortunately.

I created this image in May 2017, shortly after I started Elekk, and it was Elekk's hero image for several years. (In fact, it still should be, but the link is broken...) It predates and is not associated with the current project under the name "United Federation of Instances".
re: question about police
@respectthefire@g0v.social (The unspoken part of the problem here is that there are a lot of people who genuinely believe that society would be worse off without police - not from an authoritarian perspective but from a harm prevention perspective, because they've bought into the widespread police propaganda)
re: question about police
@respectthefire@g0v.social I certainly hold a police abolitionist perspective, but the question is genuine: there is tiny-but-not-zero chance that I am overlooking something, and either way it is important to get clear exactly *what* people expect or experience police to do.
A big part of police propaganda is the deliberate conflation of different tasks and purposes, muddying the waters about what the police is actually *for*, and this makes it really difficult to talk about "but what would a better solution for these issues look like?", particularly with people who aren't close to the violence.
So in the end, posing this question to people has multiple different purposes:
- Surveying the problems that police (are believed to) solve
- Making people question whether their assumptions about the purpose of police are actually correct
- Demonstrating that an abolitionist perspective makes sense - if my view that "police don't do anything that cannot be done better in another way" is correct, that should prove itself from the replies

Heads up, there's a shiny new SQL injection for wordpress. You will want to update if possible.
https://wordpress.org/news/2022/01/wordpress-5-8-3-security-release/
If you can't update, you may want to look into input validation methods for your text boxes, move your userlists and other info to a separate sql database that then gets called as needed on your page or find a way to restrict user access to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

#RaspberryPi hired a surveillance cop then reacted poorly to people criticising them?
I already released (partial) VCE disassembler, which is enough for an interested reverser to keygen the <=RPi3 codec licensing algorithm.
Maybe I should just, ya know, post the serial algo code.

There's no systemic racism but weirdly every time we train an AI on public data sets it becomes very racist.
re: question about police 
@whreq It's deliberately limited - whenever discussing the role of police in society, their various hats tend to get conflated, and the most crucial "special powers" that they have tend to be justified by things that don't actually require them.
That's why I'm singling out those specific circumstances here, that those special powers are claimed to be needed for.

the qoto guy
And the same qoto guy who, lest we forget,
* sent a weird mass email to a bunch of fedi admins who defederated from him
* (a list which he openly compiled using a kiwifarms tool)
* insisting we only defederated from him because of something some troll did, which is drama I'd never heard of, which happened years after most of us defederated from qoto.
The whole man is a problem on this one, just him, by himself, as a person, the way he behaves, is enough to make me defederate.

fedi meta
I see the qoto guy is trying to organise a "united federation of instances," and I plainly can not put into words how bad of an idea that is.
I would go back to MySpace before I subjected myself to mandatory federation with anyone, I would be one of the top users on Ello before I subjected myself to a constitution of "bylaws" and "amendments" decided on by the fucking qoto guy.
