But then I read @can (who I’ve never met, but on Mastodon seems like a super person) met a friend of mine Arian who is a train manager on the Berlin-Stockholm night train, on board the train, and that makes me happy. I know so many super people - just pretty much none of them are close to any levers of political power.

as someone who lives in a country that was once a part of the ussr, the californians voting against the imprisoned being enslaved really disappoints me. besides the obvious reasons, if imprisoned can be forced to labor for any crime, that will inevitably include crimes of resisting against the trump regime or expressing dissent. that's literally fucking gulag! that's what they did in the fucking soviet union to our activists!

You hate cookies because tracking privacy annoying.

I hate cookies because I forgot path=/ in one place and now hundreds of browsers are sending me two values for the same cookie and i have no clue how to retroactively fix that other than renaming the cookie.

We are not the same. Or maybe we are. I can't bloody tell.

hey can I have some unhelpful non-specific facts about TCG cards

like "there are more than 17 cards in existence"

Great news everyone! You can't use a VPN to access openvpn.net

If you have not seriously looked into this before, be prepared to discover that this process is bureaucratic, slow, infuriatingly difficult, often requires a job offer in advance, often requires formal education. It favours people with means and is nearly impossible if you are ill or disabled, even if you have family.

In all likelihood, it will be easier to move to another US state than to leave the country.

On my way home I saw one of the most Glasgow things possible

More handwritten text not shown in these 4 pictures:
• The left side says “Place your unwanted potentially useful bitsa shite here”
• The top flap says “If properly cared for this box should last 36 months in any weather”

Seeking a replacement phrase for "bless this person/thing", expressing I like what they are doing, I support them, I wish them the best, etc. without invoking religion.
Ideally equally short.

Okay so idk what I did but I hijacked https://garfield.com

I am now the official Garfield

what do

For those who need a break from the bleak, that fresh box of cat you ordered has arrived. Enjoy with reckless abandon.

you can't tell me there's a cute furry fishing game. i can't lose another 100 hours of my life. no. please. no-

"just roll with it" genuinely the best advice

And I mean literally "with JS", including the package definitions, ie. not just a Nix language parser in JS

Today's project: a proof-of-concept to see whether a Nix-like system can be built with JS

@mynameistillian YES!

every potential outcome is a reason to fight

if you don't expect success, fight for hope
if you don't see hope, fight out of spite
if you can't act from spite, fight to be remembered in the annals of history
if you don't care about future history, fight for each other in the here and now

let every breath be an act of vengeance

my rationale is: if we are not doomed, we should fight, because we stand a chance. but if we are doomed, we should fight anyway, just in case that our actions and refusal to give up might create that chance. if not, then we will at least stick it to them.

if this earth is going to hell, let's at least make them pay first.

also: someone from the future will look down on us resisting and will be glad we did it.

🦾you know what? Fuck this self blaming “this is who we are” rhetoric about Trump I keep seeing.

I did nothing to deserve this situation. “We” do not “deserve” fascism. Nobody “deserves” fascism. This is not “who we are” this is who this government is. This isn’t a democracy, it’s a constitutional oligarchy, where they fuck with our minds to keep us from organizing.

Here’s your takeaway! Fewer people voted for Trump this year than in 2020.

He won because less people voted for Harris in 2024 than Biden in 2020. But more people voted for Harris this year than for Clinton in 2016 *even though she never went through a primary and only had 100 days to campaign*

So if I’m going to point fingers, I’m not pointing it at the Trump voters who are still a minority of people in this country.

I’m pointing it at the DNC, who keep fucking exploiting my fear of being bullied until I’m praying that people who support genocide win to save my own skin!
