Reminder that you're a piece of fucking shit if you continue to ban people asking for financial help, you fucking suck.

I probably would not be alive today if it wasn't for strangers helping me out every single fucking month and every single fucking year, so fuck you

just once i'd like to see people regard charity organizations

many of whom only actually use like 5% of the donations they receive for actual charity

with the same suspicion they do mutual aid posts

linux from scratch, the linux distro configured in the scratch programming language

the GoToSocial sloth is canonically agender and pansexual, has generalized anxiety disorder, loves open mic nights and ramen, and hates fascists and cars

reminder: if enough of you regularly contribute i can leave my current $capitalistJob and work on gotosocial development full-time. what will this bring you? me having much more time / energy to obsess over gotosocial performance and federation behaviour

Well there’s your problem.

So my FiL told me about this course at Cambridge University where you have to be a member of one of the world’s wealthiest families to apply. He read about it in Private Eye. I assumed it was a joke until I looked it up…

‘A safe space to hear radical voices and debate challenging and sensitive issues, such as the future of wealth in a context of growing inequality and new paradigms of power.’

I will give Potion Permit that its incredibly ableist descriptions of its disabled characters is very true to how doctors write about ppl, but I am *so sick* of the
"old guy in a wheelchair's only personality trait is he's angry about being in a wheelchair"
It's like stardew segmented this as a character every farming-esque sim must have, and every one writes it even worse than the prev.

Also, why does the mentally disabled guy talk in third person?
It's so old fashioned in its tropes, and yes it is set in a sort of medieval fantasy world, but that's no reason to keep its really sucky tropes.
It is so frustrating to sit down and wanna play a cute game just to be slapped in the face with ableism

Been seeing trucks here and there from a company called Gamer Logistics and I want to believe they deliver freight via glitch-assisted speed runs. Like, maybe if you reverse into a bridge pillar on I-10 as soon as you cross into El Paso and hold it for precisely 39 minutes and 7 seconds, if you then shift into neutral you warp to Beaumont and can skip the entire state of Texas

See here's what I'm talking about when I talk about pinball's shift from arcades and pubs and laundrettes to wealthy men's basements.

Look at this crap, sneeze and it's gone. Who the hell's gonna mess about with this in an arcade with kids running around? Can't just fix it right there on the glass, you gotta pull it into the workshop and get tweezers and your glasses on, and it's so, so unnecessary. It doesn't have to be this small.

This is a bloody gentrified arcade board is what this is

I like the fact that in the #Fediverse the primary goal is not algorithms or making money, but owning your data and using social networks in your own terms.

#BlueSkySocial FEELS like open and decentralized but has been received funding from Twitter and has not yet fully revealed its monetization plans. This is why I won't fully trust it. I'm glad they won't invest in the ActicityPub protocol. Their reluctancy to AP is also something I find strange even after reading the arguments.

Let's remember that #BlueSky a startup company, and companies are to make money. This is where #Mastodon for example is different, there is no monetization and never will be.
