subtoot, racism 

For fucks sake, how fucking racist-brained do you need to be to respond to a toot about Teslas being exceptionally unsafe with "Just a reminder that half of all Teslas come from China" and nothing else

I hate the "talk about emergencies" section of Duolingo because its so copaganda heavy.

concept: a show like ramsay's kitchen nightmares, but about software instead

"i'm at spunkchute, a SaaS company that owes $2 million to AWS and is on the brink of closure”

"oh my [bleep] god. the main database server is running Ubuntu 8.04 and has two backdoors and a coin miner. SHUT. IT. DOWN.”

@HeavenlyPossum @junglecat_rant Even in a not-anarchist left-wing antiauthoritarian context, horizontality is generally speaking a good thing.

Instead of power being held at the top of a vertical hierarchy, it would be distributed widely closer to those whom are most directly affected by political decisions.

Anarchism just takes this idea one step further, to rid the hierarchy of the state in its entirety.

This is the opposite idea of empowering a few power hoarding masters.

What value do tech columnists and podcasters and writers to the table who just follow every hype? Not for corporations but for you? Why are so many still reading and listening to that kind of drivel?

@joepie91 I think you win a medal for most plastic bins at once on a bike this month! 🏅

I think I have enough planting boxes for now. Probably.

I'm still kind of surprised to find locally-manufactured(!), 100%-recycled-plastic planting boxes at a discount store for this little money. Apparently it *is* financially possible after all.

Politici van de BoerBurgerBeweging waarschuwen dat krimp van de veestapel de (internationale) voedselzekerheid bedreigt. Klopt dat wel? Uit een analyse van Follow the Money blijkt het tegenovergestelde: de Nederlandse vee-industrie vormt juist een grote bedreiging om de simpele reden dat dieren meer calorieën eten dan ze produceren. ftm.nl/artikelen/hoe-nederland

It's kind of absurd that salaries don't automatically grow along with inflation, actually.

anyway it's also always quite funny to look at the fedi profiles of the folks organizing such events because you often find, as in this case, that they posted like ten toots a few years ago and then fucked off - https://mas.to/@Identitywoman - and yet they purport to have sufficient expertise in "the fediverse" to organize a conference on the topic 🤡

in case anyone's wondering why GtS never bothers with these kinds of daft events it's prettymuch because a) we can't be arsed, b) we're allergic to corpo-speak LinkedIn bollocks and don't want to be around it because it makes us too sad to write code, and c) it almost always seems to turn out that one or more of the organizers are shitheads like this :pensive_butt:

"why not just use SWAT hand signs or the like"

- a sign language is literally infinitely expressive so you can expand it to fit any needs you might have
- you don't need to learn the whole language to benefit from knowing some signs so it's not significantly harder than learning a domain-specific code
- the number system of sign languages is way superior :p
- many cops probably know SWAT-type codes, maybe also the type of enemy who's into milsim etc. but unless there's Deaf ppl in their family or s/t, it's very low chance that they bother learning it for accessibility
- *you* are increasing your accessibility

concept: a core vocab list like
- numbers
- a few, many, none, gone
- ally, enemy, rando, cop, sus
- behind, front, left, right etc. (+o'clock number inflections)
- coming, going away, staying
- caution, don't look, followed, clear, quiet, hang on, stand up, act natural, look out for, scout, talk (out loud), change topic
- train, tram, car, taxi, bicycle, motorcycle, scooter
- people, adult, child, old, young, male, female, androgyn, PoC, white
- ultra, skinhead, querdenker, nazi
- go, run, call, text, encircle, mace, weapon, spray, bash

learn to sign to fluency, practice regularly with your crew. hm I already know 70%+ of these signs :catThink:
