In case there are any obvious conclusions I'm missing:

What do people think the biggest lessons from the history of the web are? What do you hope "comes back", what are you hoping stays dead, and what do you hope is to come?

I'd appreciate RTs (and long detailed replies lol)!

I needed to put a bare SBC away so I went into the Tech Room at work to look for anti-static bags.

I didn't find any, technically... but there's what looks like them in a box labeled "static bags".

clearly this is the exact opposite of what I need!

PSA: Apparently the #DoctorWho showrunner is planning on renaming Series 14 to Season 1, and restart the numbering. Yes, for real.

If you use anything that consumes an episode database, expect it to break in unpredictable ways...

The problem with "not all cops are bad" is that it means that you don't recognize the power of a fundamentally corrupted and oppressive structure over individuals.

That means that you believe that people's behaviour within those structures is decided by themselves individually, and that makes you vulnerable to "good cop, bad cop" strategies.

And *that* means that I simply cannot trust you not to rat out me or my friends when the rubber meets the road, maybe even without realizing it. That I cannot trust you to have my back when cops come for me.

It doesn't matter how good your intentions are, or that you believe this out of fear for a world without police, or that you think you can separate the good ones from the bad ones.

None of that matters for the simple fact that if you make this choice, I cannot trust you with my safety.

(And when people take issue with you being friendly with cops, *this is why*.)

Every Parkside or Silvercrest model number is just an abbreviation of the product descriptor in German

I think this post is pretty correct in that diagnosis.

That is why fandom spaces become so

harsh
in maintaining their acceptable orthodoxy.

Why it must be liking the right thing the right way.

Why many treat identities also as fandom camps.
Everything must be *correct* and acceptable. Social backlash is harsh.

Kids have no space in which to be free. Online or off. It is constant, consistent vigilance, and taught to be self-vigilant. Not fitting in in whatever environment they are in is punished harshly.

So when they see weird adults being
weird

they freak the fuck out. That cannot be allowed.

They would not be allowed to do that in their spaces, in the environments they are in.

So they are made uncomfortable by that.
So they must make the spaces they are joining feel *safe*

They must make it clean and fit their comfortable acceptability.

The vibes and aesthetics must be *correct*

TLDR they should learn to kill that cop in their heads, and free themselves

A lot of CD and DA popping off in response to the Israeli siege of Gaza.

We need more and more of this to stop the bloodshed. Let's lift up and help one another take more and more action until we finally get justice.

my favorite thing about the XFCE desktop environment is how the network applet pops up these messages all the time and there's a handy dandy "don't show this again" button that does ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING

My hat goes off to those Swedish dockworkers refusing to unload Teslas until they negotiate with their local employees.

Incredible solidarity.

Happening now: People are occupying a boat in the port of Oakland to prevent it taking weapons to Israel. They’re asking for help if you can get out there! This looks to be the specific terminal: https://maps.app.goo.gl/prXSdubSx1GJoXAJ9
