Looking for someone in #Seattle who is capable of soldering leads onto a few routers so we can access their serial ports. All of these routers are the same model, I even have an example router that has the TX, RX and Ground pins soldered.

Trying to debug mainline OpenWRT boot issues on this model of device, which is hard to do without seeing the device's log while booting up.

This is wild, a conference listed fake women speakers and when the legit speakers found out they started pulling out, then it turned out one of the fake profiles was also being used catfish style https://www.linkedin.com/posts/efong_gergely-orosz-gergelyorosz-on-x-activity-7134354325253877760-PXuq

I want you to imagine this for a moment-

What if every time you posted anything relating to christianity, regardless of if it is an offhand mention of a family gathering, a silly Christmas shitpost like a 'Mariah Carey defrosting' meme, or even just saying 'merry Christmas to those who celebrate' day of, you had random people (or at least had to emotionally prepare for the fact there was a very real possibility people would likely) comment things like "wow, really?! you're posting about Christmas right now? when the USA, a majority christian country that has tons of leaders who claim to stand for christian values in their decisions is actively supporting and sending weapons to a country committing genocide? you are truly disgusting!"

Regardless of the fact the post never mentions support for the US governments actions on this or anything else. Regardless of if you have things in your profile or posts directly criticizing this specifically, of if you live in/were from/had ever been to the USA, or any other actually relevant factor to your views on that government action.

And no matter what you replied they would continue to insist your random mention of Christmas inherently implied support for those actions. And more people might join in. And it wouldn't just be about social media or followers- what if you knew countless people like you were being harassed, losing friends, losing social standing and work connections, even being sent death threats over posts with the mere mention of their Christian background in it?

That is something Jews (and Muslims, don't you dare twist this into an excuse for Islamophobia!) experience regularly at the mere mention of our religion, and many of us have our whole lives! I come from a big Jewish family which places a lot of importance on our Jewish heritage and culture, all of whom staunchly support Palestine- and that is in no way contradictory! The vast majority of Jews I have known in my entire life support the Free Palestine movement!

What the Israeli government is doing right now is genocide. The idea all Jews support it and anyone speaking against it is being antisemitic is a purposeful use of misinformation to gain public support (especially by governments and people that really only care about their own financial interests in the war and are therefore actively assisting that genocide), because it is way easier to get away with doing awful things for their own gain if they immediately shut down any and every criticism as being inherently antisemitic and scare others away from being vocal (especially other politicians and powerful groups) with the clear threat of being labeled bigots.

There are countless Jewish organizations, religious leaders, professors of Judaism, and individuals putting forward statements supporting Palestine, reaching out to their governments, and participating in activist movements loudly and openly fighting against the actions of the Israeli government! The people spreading this lie and purposefully erasing that are using care more about taking advantage of the concept of Jewishness and antisemitism as a tool to silence others matters more than respecting our clearly stated beliefs about our own religion! THAT is antisemitic!

Don't buy into this bullshit, and don't attack random Jews for acknowledging their religion in ways that have nothing to do with the Israeli government's actions. Hannukah is in early December this year and I and other Jews should not have to be afraid to mention it for fear of harassment. Don't contribute to it and if you see it- step up and do something! Stand up for them directly, talk to your admins about having rules that support Jews in your online community, and please educate yourself and others (the burden of education should not fall on the Jews who are already dealing with this harassment!).

And for the love of god support the Free Palestine movement! No killing of innocent people is okay, but equating the actions of a terrorist extremist group with an entire demographic is absurd and claiming the creation of and actions of extremists in response to an ongoing genocide somehow justifies the ongoing atrocities of the genocide is absolute bullshit.

I am too tired to give a full list of resources right now but there is a good info to start to understand the harms of the state of Israel and the concept of anti-zionist Jews at https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/zionism/

​ Boosts appreciated! Any and everyone who comes into the comments with any kind of bigotry or 'but what about' bullshit will immediately be blocked and reported. I am not looking for feedback or a debate, I am sharing factual information and a view based on my own religious and moral beliefs. I do not care about your 'well actually' and will not engage with it.

Reminder that #AltText for images should always include all the text that appears in the image. Even if users use the "detect text in image" function, the results are often garbled. AltText is kind of pointless if all it says is something like, "Joke about AI" but doesn't tell you what the actual joke is.

looking at fedi and you are bored? just open the same fedi page in a second tab to regret it and feel stupid a few seconds later

I'd spotted this rather striking diagonal track yesterday, but I couldn't get it the way I wanted with the lenses I had with me. Today I returned with my 200 mm Pentacon telephoto, and after a couple of tries (that's what this whole thing was about, right?) I got this shot.

IME most people blame themselves when the software they use is being genuinely awful, buggy, and badly made in such a way as to directly cause misery and lost work.

If they didn’t, then most devs working at Microsoft, Google, Apple, or Adobe would need a protective detail 24/7 and every week we’d be hearing news of yet another engineer murdered by an enraged user.

People have no idea just how badly we’re fucking up their lives. They just think they’re bad at computers.

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate y'all here.

One of my posts received a surprise retweet on Twitter yesterday, and it gained me some attention.

Nothing bad happened, but nearly every account which interacted with or followed me was either a blank profile or a chaser / person who fetishises trans people in an objectifying way.

Meanwhile nearly everybody I've had the pleasure of interacting with here has seemed like an actual person who I could see myself being friends with, not an anonymous manifestation of the concept of horny.

So, thanks for that!
