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.

@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space I do enjoy it a lot, though most of that isn't because of the coaster part... and yeah, I feel like you could make an entire documentary out of the mishaps with building that ride alone
@Yuki I get your site; perhaps they pointed it at an IP address that once hosted their site, and now hosts yours?

Okay so idk what I did but I hijacked https://garfield.com
I am now the official Garfield
what do
@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space The requirement does make sense, considering... *waves in the general direction of DVH*

For those who need a break from the bleak, that fresh box of cat you ordered has arrived. Enjoy with reckless abandon.
@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space As I understand it, the test runs were scheduled/required by the Efteling, not Intamin, and I imagine that's probably why it worked out well :P
@blaurascon Perhaps an off-the-wall suggestion, but if you can't find any place selling this, and nobody else is able to find it either, perhaps it's worth asking a local metalworking shop if they can custom make one for you? As it seems to be just a bracket with no further mechanical components
@blaurascon So I did find a listing on a Russian site that claims to still have it for sale: https://avto.pro/part-4724858AA-CHRYSLER-363/?srsltid=AfmBOoqFpbo-ETPdzd795CI3gsUJFOhEuc4ouNUOQUfOCTc5QcRXJXo2
But every US seller I was able to find is also reporting 'discontinued' and I am unable to find any leads on 'compatible' parts 😐
@blaurascon If it's any help, part seems to be made by Mopar originally: https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-suspension-bracket-right-4724858aa (name showed up in some other listings too)

And I mean literally "with JS", including the package definitions, ie. not just a Nix language parser in JS

Today's project: a proof-of-concept to see whether a Nix-like system can be built with JS

@mynameistillian YES!
every potential outcome is a reason to fight
if you don't expect success, fight for hope
if you don't see hope, fight out of spite
if you can't act from spite, fight to be remembered in the annals of history
if you don't care about future history, fight for each other in the here and now
let every breath be an act of vengeance

my rationale is: if we are not doomed, we should fight, because we stand a chance. but if we are doomed, we should fight anyway, just in case that our actions and refusal to give up might create that chance. if not, then we will at least stick it to them.
if this earth is going to hell, let's at least make them pay first.
also: someone from the future will look down on us resisting and will be glad we did it.

🦾you know what? Fuck this self blaming “this is who we are” rhetoric about Trump I keep seeing.
I did nothing to deserve this situation. “We” do not “deserve” fascism. Nobody “deserves” fascism. This is not “who we are” this is who this government is. This isn’t a democracy, it’s a constitutional oligarchy, where they fuck with our minds to keep us from organizing.
Here’s your takeaway! Fewer people voted for Trump this year than in 2020.
He won because less people voted for Harris in 2024 than Biden in 2020. But more people voted for Harris this year than for Clinton in 2016 *even though she never went through a primary and only had 100 days to campaign*
So if I’m going to point fingers, I’m not pointing it at the Trump voters who are still a minority of people in this country.
I’m pointing it at the DNC, who keep fucking exploiting my fear of being bullied until I’m praying that people who support genocide win to save my own skin!
re: grumbling, uspol, "go offline"
@ben I suspect you're far from the only one for who that is true, unfortunately... which is exactly why that sentiment always pisses me off so much
@Sterophonick After thinking a bit more (because I realized that still described the vague shape of an owl at best), a practical way to go about this, is to just very frequently ask yourself "... why do I actually believe this?" and if the answer is something like "research" or "everybody knows that", follow it up with trying to work out where the idea originally comes from and what its purpose was, even for the things that seem obvious.
An example case would be "IQ" and its treatment as a legitimate metric - where does the metric come from, what was it invented to do?
@serapath @joelving @powersource I am going to stop trying to have this conversation because you keep making vague allusions to "attacks on Bitcoin" without ever substantiating what those attacks actually *are* and how they would work, and this is looking a lot more like a persecution complex than like a genuine failure and power dynamics analysis.
@Sterophonick As I understand it: to learn to recognize internal thought patterns and views that are informed by colonialist perspectives (on a wide variety of topics, including but not limited to stuff like 'growth', 'civilization', 'intelligence', etc.), and to work on getting rid of those and stepping back from the colonialist perspective, instead learning to view these things from the perspective of the colonized and oppressed.
Which is necessarily going to be a lot of work, there's no three-step plan.
