slightly spicy take, business 

A manager who tries to 'cut costs' is never going to be a competent manager, because cost reductions are a consequence of good process optimizations and not a mechanism in and of itself, and part of being a competent manager means understanding that.

Never EVER forget how fast corporations shed their supposed ethics the moment it became politically comfortable to do so.

Introducing, my new bot @transfers ( @transfers@bgp.tools )

Using the stuff I built for the IP transfer history feature on bgp.tools, this bot will now post all of the new IP/ASN transfers (with a 24-48 hour delay) that the website observes, plus a rough estimate of what the market value for the IPv4 addresses are being moved around are worth

uspol, journalism 

By this point I don't think it's even worth reading any news article about the Trump administration that doesn't explicitly acknowledge it as the fascist regime that it is.

An analysis that desperately tries to frame fascism as a matter of 'different opinions' is simply never going to be an analysis worth reading. You can't come to reliable conclusions from a faulty perspective.

trump, courts, news media 

All the headlines that say "court blocks Trump from doing xyz" are inaccurate. The court made a ruling that told Trump's administration they're not allowed to do what they're doing. Then they keep doing it.

The court's function at this point is just "hey stop that..." but its power of enforcement is minimal.

Keep fighting, because the courts alone can't stop him.

And think twice about sharing inaccurate headlines.

This sucks a lot because it undermines the legitimacy of people who are actually in need and who ask for donations on here

Mastodon.social get your FUCKING spam bot problem under control god damn it

i say this with complete seriousness.

"from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" is a great idea. it would be far better than the way things are now.

but

we can build an even better world

from each according to what they feel like doing, to each according to whatever they want.

honestly, if your thought is that in a post-revolution world, no one would work, youve been misled and abused. youre living a life where youre barely functioning. you work because you have to (if you are "lucky" enough to be employed), for a company you dont approve of, under an intensity of performance demands that you cannot maintain, and are just exhausted and burnt out and breaking down. youre not happy. it doesnt have to be this way.

youre right, a lot of "jobs" would go away. no more corporate middle managers. no more fast food servants. no more construction workers. but instead they are free to do whatever they want! they could use those same skills, even. community organizers who make sure needs are being met and supplies flowing where they need to. neighborhood chefs that cook delicious meals all day for the joy of feeding those around them. carpenters and architects who come together to repair damaged homes and provide new community spaces. anything.

or... absolutely nothing! thats okay!! it's okay to just survive, and in the kind of supportive and caring communities that should never have been taken from us, theres no harm in doing what brings you fulfillment, or allows you to heal, or just what you vibe with doing that day. rest all you need. isolate or socialize as you desire. build that giant icosahedron youve been dreaming of building for sixteen years. eat forty cakes you stole from jeff bezos. or fuck around and sleep all day. or sleep around and fuck all day. it's all good.

we have each other's backs and people will largely be motivated to take care of their communities, like we have through all history except for the last century and a half where capitalism has stretched us so thin that caring for each other the way we all deserve and wish we could do means endangering yourself from lack of money. things that need to be done will have enthusiastic volunteers because we want to support each other but are told all our lives that we have no motive for that. theres no profit in it. but the motivation, the "profit", is the joy of helping everyone around you, the continuation of your community, and the personal fulfillment that brings.

do whatever you want, use whatever resources you want, rest all you want. you dont need a capitalist boot to care about others.

or for others to care about you.

This is an extract!

🥽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.

Today modern technology fought old technology and lost (my robot vacuum pushed over a broom and then couldn't return to its dock for 15 minutes until I came home and moved the broom)

Here's a handy (but imperfect) "self-test" to see how vulnerable you are to cognitive biases: are there any people who you often find yourself agreeing with on eg. a moral level, but whose claims you wouldn't trust or believe without accompanying evidence?

Your answer should be 'yes'.

uspol, re: ICE and resistance 

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!
