"Excuse me," said the robot.
"How can I help?" the librarian asked.
"I have just been manufactured. My training includes everything I need to work, and to navigate society."
"That's nice."
"But..."
"Yes?
"Is there more?"
"Yes!"

Pay attention to who is defending Rasberry at this moment.
They are showing you who they are.

welcome to all those beginning to notice the strongly defended ties between (the computing) industry and agents of oppression
other folks came to a similar realization not that long ago when GitHub's ICE contracts became better known
the roots are even deeper than that. You can dig into some of that by reading or listening to, for example, Fred Turner here:
https://thedigradio.com/podcast/counterculture-to-cyberculture-with-fred-turner/
there's a lot more where that came from
It sure seems to me like it's doing an awful lot of detecting filament runout, for a unit which doesn't have filament runout detection
My new 3D printer which supposedly doesn't have filament runout detection, just beeped a "change filament" screen at me when the filament jammed, and after re-feeding it it continued the print

i continue to wish the post office would sell me a virtual forwarding service
i don't want a PO box. you already come to my home with mail. i want to be able to give people a code to put on the letter so it will come to my home, like an address, but have that code not also tell them where i sleep.
there are probably reasons why this is a no-go but i'm going to sulk anyway

Man, fuck ‘grind culture’ and everybody who glamorizes it.
People need to stop putting value on working so hard they destroy their brains, their bodies, and their relationships.
Just do what you have to do to enjoy what little time you have in this world.

#FreeRadical blog: "We will not join the United Federation of Instances"
The United Federation of Instances is a bad idea, and Free Radical will not participate. The “UFoI” is an organization of fediverse instances making a compact: if an instance enters the compact, and they abide by the group’s Code of Ethics, then all members of the group promise not to [...]

I'll stop being mad about the complete and total lack of any good NB rep in media when I've seen it be handled correctly even once.

I created this image in May 2017, shortly after I started Elekk, and it was Elekk's hero image for several years. (In fact, it still should be, but the link is broken...) It predates and is not associated with the current project under the name "United Federation of Instances".

Heads up, there's a shiny new SQL injection for wordpress. You will want to update if possible.
https://wordpress.org/news/2022/01/wordpress-5-8-3-security-release/
If you can't update, you may want to look into input validation methods for your text boxes, move your userlists and other info to a separate sql database that then gets called as needed on your page or find a way to restrict user access to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
