I just find Peter Singer's arguments so infuriating every time I run into them.

I push people towards doing aid and recovery locally unless they have deep knowledge of the culture and landscape they're trying to affect. Because despite what academic philosophers like to spout THIS SHIT IS ACTUALLY HARD.

Like, the famine he used as an example for the moral obligation for providing relief was an aid *disaster.*

The biggest opsec trick all the privacy dorks use, the one that makes them safest from government surveillance and trouble with the cops and that they'll never tell you is: they're white and straight and unremarkable

At the end of the day, they may rail against it but they've got nothing to hide and nothing to fear, the government doesn't give a shit about a well off 37 year old app developer

Every time @supernovae@universeodon.com bemoans a lack of rational discourse, or that nobody's tried to talk with him, or 'those opinions don't get talked about' - we try. People in the JoinMastodon discord try to talk to him. I tried talking to him a few months back. Various other admins all try takling with him, but as soon as he faces disagreement, he blocks and then keeps on saying 'nobody talks about this'.

I tried, again, and it ended with him calling me toxic and blocking me.

You've got the 'that sucks' sympathy fave, the 'hot selfie asdgfd' fave, the 'so cursed I couldn't possibly boost this' fave, and my favourite one: the 'I'm too tired to reply so here is my appreciation' fave

"I tried to fight for a COVID-safe organization.
But i failed.
Probably i was too desperate, too angry, too impatient, too undiplomatic. "

Don't blame yourself. You shouldn't have to beg for accessibility. You shouldn't have to worry that you were too desperate, too angry, too undiplomatic. You were having those feelings in the first place because they were discriminating. The feelings escalate because they were unresponsive and unwilling to change.

Would you blame PoC for acting on these emotions if they were excluded from an event? Would you blame women for being too undiplomatic for trying to make an event not men-only? You would probably understand them, have compassion and be angry at the event that they would not respond well. You wouldn't tell them to promote themselves differently.

It's not your job to be a perfect PR machine when advocating for yourself, it's your job to survive. Have compassion for yourself too. You and others fought and the shitheads hid behind fake left-wing arguments to be discriminatory. It's not your fault, you didn't fail. They failed.

I also don't think their way of treating this is even conditional solidarity. Having to contact the care team with your situation is a breach of your privacy. Having to be announced to the room to beg for cooperation, is discriminatory and a bullying tactic. Having to then wait for people to mask or not to show their willingness to let you live (with medical masks that are not good enough to protect you even) is like a terrifying trial. I'd never want to be put in that position.

This has been explained to #Anarchy2023 on social media and in private contact, by more than one person. They could have adapted and they didn't. They embraced ableism. They are excluding and abandoning their sick, old and disabled comrades during a pandemic. This is 100% on them.

They will not listen to science, they will not listen to the people who know better. Let them eat crypto, let them eat plague. Let them suffocate on their haughty excuses.

i can only wonder what licensing agreement caused this

wtf? Chrome on Android is inserting its own "PDF" button to journal article pages that takes me via Google Scholar, even when the PDF is available directly from the publisher 🤬

I only noticed because I saw scholar dot google briefly appear in my address bar, and when I opened the page in Firefox the prominent floating PDF button wasn't there.

i've been using the netsurf browser on some of my qubes VMs over the past several weeks. it's a FOSS browser that runs on it's own unique browser engine rather than a fork of google's chromium or mozilla's gecko engines. if you use it in conjunction with search engines like marginalia or wiby then you can get a pretty solid experience browsing old web 1.0 sites, yesterweb-style stuff, blogs, etc. it's not very good for browsing most of the modern web. that can be a good thing depending on your POV.

#netsurf

This is scary. It's (strong) SafetyNet for websites.

Every now and then I run into another Android app I can no longer run because someone decided my phone, running an official build of my choice of OS, that isn't even rooted, is "not trustable".

Now they want to start doing that for websites.

This kills open Linux on the desktop (including Asahi Linux). It kills alternative browsers. It is a backdoor to kill ad blockers.

No. Just no. Please.

There is now a GitHub pages link https://keschercode.github.io/Web-Disintegration

I've forked the Web-Environment-Integrity proposal by "the W3C" (actually, it's just Google lol), and I think my proposal is so much better

@aral They have now blocked all comments on this "proposal's" github issues - unless you've been contributing, i.e. are in favor of it.
