So, while I felt comraderie during my march as I moved with various organizations to stand up in the face of state oppression, the world at large still have some work to do.

Capitalism has put us in a place to keep focusing on the individual as opposed to the collective.

People keep focusing on who's protesting "the right way".

I'm not saying we should have bounce houses for kids.

But criticizing people for taking a step, for some their first step, is weird.

The Rotterdam Lijnbaan Albert Heijn has a new side entrance. I’ve seen more inviting supermarket entrances 😶‍🌫️

Please obscure the faces of people in your protest pictures. The government and civilian fascist groups with with an Azure/AWS account have easy access to facial recognition services and DO use them.

"Wave is designed to operate as a decentralized communication network. Individuals and organizations will run their own Wave-compatible servers which will all interoperate through a federated messaging protocol. Although Google has developed the underlying technology, the company intends to open it up entirely to the community and make it a vendor-neutral standard. There will be multiple competing implementations, much like there are today for e-mail services, and it will be possible to use and operate independent Wave services without having to rely on Google."

New blog post! I've started taking regular snapshots of Library of Congress linked open data (as part of a much broader data rescue and monitoring project) and took the opportunity to finally get to grips with #SPARQL, #RDF and all that comes along with it. I've started small though...

Finished setting up cal.fiera.social/ an events calendar for DIY music in Vancouver. Go give it a look! You can follow it with your fediverse account if you want to keep up with events happening in the city!

@otfrom I definitely appreciate those that buck the trend!

re: misgendering?, positive 

@lukyan Back when my hair was less... sparse, I definitely noticed that it was my long hair seen from the back that made people assume 'feminine' (which was mostly just amusing to me)

@lethalbit I think that assumes that you already know GRUB configuration - if you do, then that may well be easier. But for most people (who wouldn't) I expect that "just run this script and let it do its thing" is going to be the easier option.

@Lunaphied Growing up I got a sink in my room (right next to my bed) and I quite appreciated it for exactly that reason

strange take: I think there should be water lines run to bedrooms by where you'd put the bed so that you can hydrate easily from bed

@packbat Expanded answer: I find the first 're:' to be useful because I know that I'll be looking at *conversation* rather than an (initial) freestanding post, which helps me avoid discussion threads I've already read for example.

But beyond that it just expands the size of the CW while not conveying any useful new information to me.

@lethalbit Is it? I haven't had a reason to use it yet, but from what I understand you burn it to a thumbdrive once, and after that you just drop ISOs on it like any other thumbdrive and everything else is automatic?

@clarfonthey That is still 'trusting in the system' with no plan B, though.

I think the part that annoys me about the liberal response to fascism in the US isn't that they're trying to fight it in the courts - that's a good thing. The more counter-tactics, the better.

What annoys me is that a lot of liberals are *only* fighting it in the courts. It's not a part of a multi-pronged strategy, there's no calls for diverse (including direct) action from politicians, and there's no real cross-pollination between legal and direct action that I can see.

The whole thing overwhelmingly stinks of "we're going to hope for the best and let the legal system deal with it, so that we can continue pretending that we leave in a healthy democracy", ie. the "head in the sand" approach.

When what they *should* be doing is take every opportunity they can, direct action or otherwise, fire off all of them at once, and keep the different camps in contact to coordinate.
