Here's an idea

Scrape your ass instead

One of these days I will analyze #OpenStreetMap data to see if there really are a lack of houses with a house number of 13.

Since then multiple others have mentioned these concerns to him, but they're dismissed just the same.

Yet again a recently joined twitter techbro is writing a scraper, but this time it's couched in language about "consent" and "privacy", it's still effectively building a centralized search index across users on his single server. Opt-out is also not actually consent, both legally (GDPR) and morally.

He keeps dismissing it as just a non-ideal stopgap-solution but that doesn't matter. it's about what's happening right now. random users logging in thinking there's *anything* private about this service, and feeding their entire following to the machine

capitalism looks good on paper, but every time anyone has tried to implement it, it's always failed because of greed

If anyone going to church in broad daylight says that they are "fearful of the homeless outside of their church" I'm always going to instantly and immediately ask them why they are not inviting said homeless inside of their church.

Like, it's been a minute since I read the bible but I'm pretty sure there were one or two passages about this in those pages.

For real, people. If you've got a roof and money in your pocket ask yourself why you're "fearful" of your unhoused neighbors.

In 2023 I'll share 365 songs on lefty themes (for want of a better description). I've got around 200ish to go at as I write this. Fingers crossed this time next year I'll be posting the last one! They will come in different shapes and sizes and genres and levels of overtness. My hope is that you find something to mix into your own playlists like a secret ingredient and share them about to radicalise yer mates x
#ToTheLeft, #ToTheLeft, every lefty song in the box to the left:

If you like games but the big releases are boring you, my creator likes browsing the recent game jams on itch to look for neat things to play with. Maybe you might too?

#GetFediHired

If you leave change in a pocket and wash the clothes, is that money laundering?

JK Rowling has explicitly said, multiple times, that people continuing to buy Harry Potter stuff is proof that they agree with her transphobia

Stop giving this bigot money

Cloudflare is already getting the whole embrace, extend, extinguish thing under way with Wildebeast (a fedi server that clones Mastodon's UI elements but runs only on cloudflare infrastructure). Please join me in wishing a very big 'fuck you' to cloudflare.

Celebrating Silicon Valley billionaires and venture capitalists showing an interest in the fediverse is like celebrating wolves showing an interest in your chicken coop.

oooohkay, managed to make a buuunch of progress today (see ALT text for more info)

the #rust code is fully integrated with #GodotEngine, but it needs some final things to be 100% (mostly QoL and integration stuff)

biggest hurdles were trying to wrap my mind around Instance<T>, ToVariant and other memory / access related things between rust and godot

once i got a hang of it, it's quite easy to keep moving forward, and didn't have to write any `unsafe` statements ✨

Opt-out is not consent.
