🥽I want to say this publicly, in full view of everyone, fully aware of the risks of doing so.

I believe that all of us have a duty of conscience not to co-operate with or implement unjust laws and systems.

Living in a just society is a pro-active choice all of us make. When we choose to eschew what is right for what is expedient, we not only create injustice for others but eventually suffer it for ourselves.

I will not co-operate with a fascist regime. I refuse to recognize such a regime as legitimate, either in action or in conceit.

These people are not an authority. Political power does not flow from the barrel of a gun, but from the fear of it firing.

Without that fear a gun has no power to rule, only to destroy.

This regime deserves neither my loyalty nor my fear. What it deserves is to become irrelevant. In refusing to co-operate, I actualize its irrelevance.

The #fcc has announced it will be investigating KCBS, a #sanfrancisco based radio station for reporting on the movements of #ice units within the city.

This is clearly an attempt to suppress speech about ice, and a very solid indication that the Know Your Rights campaign is working.

Just wondering: is there a law that prescribes that the year of construction needs to visible in an elevator, or is this just something all manufacturers decided: well, that's a good idea!

This is weird. I apparently have the NFSU2 soundtrack in FLAC format, and it has an EAC ripping log, describing how it was ripped from a 2CD release.

There's just one problem: to my knowledge, there has never existed a CD release of the NFSU2 soundtrack!

i find "computers should just be good which means you dont need to know anything to use them" to just be a really individualistic standpoint.

not that computers couldn't or shouldn't be better but wishing for liberation from the material reality that all data lives on a computer somewhere sucks.

you either get a computer that's constantly trying to get into your wallet or a computer that requires you to deal with the real people making it work. those are your only two options.

Endermen aren't evil, they just have ADHD! They pick up random blocks near them because they find them interesting, wander around aimlessly while fidgeting and then drop them again when they find a new shiny block somewhere else.

(They're also autistic and don't like being wet for sensory reasons, and they don't like eye contact)

Thanks to the hard work of @cdn0x12, #GoToSocial v0. 18.x includes automated light mode / dark mode switching based on your system light mode / dark mode configuration.

This means visitors to the web view of your profile will be able to read your silly posts in whatever form they're most comfortable with. This works for the settings panel too! The auto switching also applies to "auto" profile themes with separate light and dark modes (not every theme has both dark + light mode counterparts at this point).

Big thank you to @cdn0x12 for this <3

Some screenshots!

If I were to make a modular creative management game, what should the first few "sets" be? Vote for three or fewer. Or more. I'm a poll, not a cop.

Or reply if you have a better or worse idea.

So grey outside. If you need some sunlight and colour, here's the rest of those 550nm #infrared photos from #Ostia Antica not already posted in December's Art Advent Calender -> https://mastodon.art/@eyeling/113579323904934952
