Anyone have any queer sci-fi recommendations? Especially books, though shows/movies are also OK :) :boosts_ok_gay:
The pride flags I ordered are like 50% bigger than I expected, so I guess I have a wall of pride flags now

interviewer: can you explain the big gap in your employment history?
me: can you explain the big gap between what your CEO gets paid and what your workers get paid?
it's not "data hoarding", it's opportunistic preservation

reminder that the economy is artificial and every death due to lack of housing, food, or medical care is an act of political violence

I'm sick of being around cars, having to hear cars, see cars, breathe their fumes, worry about getting hit by them, walk around parked cars when I wanna cross the street, hear people talk about cars, live in a city that's built around cars cars cars cars cars...

if you can get tackled, ziptied, and arrested by agents of the state for protesting the state without their permission, do you *really* have the right to protest? does it make it better or worse, knowing that *they knew* the charges wouldn't stick, and they just wanted to beat you and strip you of your humanity because you spoke out of turn?

environment variables are a shit way to provide extensive configs imo, especially if you don't use docker....

Wow, what the fuck Gigabyte. Apparently when my motherboard gets power backfeed via a dodgy DisplayPort cable, it doesn't like, warn me about it, or have any sort of backfeed protection.
Instead, it just starts being unable to reboot without a hard power cycle, *and* starts reading the CPU temperature as permanently -55C (no, that's not a typo), causing it to completely disable the CPU fan regardless of actual temperature... which was up in the mid-90s.
On top of their (shitty) fan curve smoothing option only being exposed via a crappy Windows app and not via the EFI.... yeah, I ain't gonna be buying Gigabyte again 😐

food
me, looking at a clock: eh, it's still early, I'll eat in like 30 minutes
*subjective moments later*
me, looking at a clock: huh no wonder I'm hungry I should have eaten 2 hours ago

politics, cryptobunk
Goddamn neoliberals. https://e24.no/norsk-oekonomi/i/Po8z3b/roedt-faar-ikke-medhold-i-forbud-mot-kryptoutvinning
To summarize/paraphrase: PoW cryptocurrency mining won't be banned in Norway because they "wouldn't want to inhibit innovation" and "it's not their job as politicians to decide what is and isn't useful for society" (WTF??)

Also extremely depressing to see that said political parties have bought into the bullshit about how blockchains are super useful technology, when in reality they've been completely fundamentally broken for a decade by now

really hate how pervasive the concept of "stupidity" is in the collective conciousness. call people something else please
surely all the reasonable usage is covered by concepts like "negligence" or "ignorance" or "naïvité" or anything else that has more nuance and less ableism
also the inverse concept, "intelligence", is also not real thank you

Just deployed #pixie pages alpha v0.0.3-patch3!
It runs on https://pixie.homes, which has like 0 info on it yet oops, but you can already access the README for it's own repo through either:
https://homes.pixie.town (CNAME custom domain) or
https://main.pixie-pages.f0x.pixie.homes (automatic subdomain)
It's all still very early days but stuff kinda seems to work so that's neat!
all the source code can be found in https://git.pixie.town/f0x/pixie-pages
