Anyway, on a more serious note, a lot of problems will be solved very easily if you immediately defederate from any/all activitypub servers ran by any sort of tech or social media company.
Easy-peasy, no worries, Bob's your uncle, a few clicks and it's done, just like that 
Their imperatives are not your imperatives, don't need them x

nlpol demos
nothing new, but the contrast between more grassroots organizing on the streets for climate justice, and fascist farmers having a small turnout on a designated demonstration field with expensive stages and setups is so fucking clear
tech grumbling
> My message explicitly points out that there are many ways to "update all packages at once", all subtly different. This suggests that the Yarn core isn't the right place where we should implement this solution, [...]
Some package manager that is

"Triest dat politie nodig was", zegt burgemeester die zelf besloot om politie met geweld in te zetten tegen een vreedzame demonstratie

Media just will not stop using the term "culture wars." Culture wars may be disputes about spaghetti or burgers for dinner. What the media misnames and often conscously trivializes as supposed "culture wars" are, in fact, the attack on human rights, authoritarianism, and the renewed enforcement of outright discrimination. There is nothing "both sides" about this, and it is not a question of cultural heritage or personal taste.

us culture thing, alc
isn't it 'odd' that like the vast majority around the world knows the US drinking age, even though it has no influence on them at all

If I could change one thing about the way we talk about copyright, it would be to replace "protected" with "encumbered," at least in the library context. An out-of-print book from 1950 with a dead author and a defunct publisher is not "protected" by copyright; it's encumbered. 60-year-old newspaper articles, 10-year-old political ads, on and on - vast swaths of in-copyright material with no commercial life but some remaining intellectual value aren't protected by copyright. They're encumbered.

And it hasn't too post this for a while, but just a thought on content warning, which has become a lot less prevalent in the last six months:
CW on Masto isn't about censorship. Its about not retraumatising people who have suffered abuse.
That's it. The Twitter algorithm wants you continually raw with trauma, because it's good for engagement.
For a personal example: I have a couple of major triggers. If I see those triggers CW'd? On a bad day, I'll scroll past.
And that's what it's for.

I love Star Trek as much as anybody else, but you know what I'd really like to see?
A science fiction television show that doesn't place us on a military/quasi-military ship with a military-like command structure.
Oh and VCs of course, Medium *is* a darling of the startup industry after all.
#FediBlock in case you missed it: me.dm - it seems to have launched about a week ago.
This is the instance operated by Medium, a for-profit tech company and blog silo. Unsurprisingly, I'm already seeing 'thought leaders', follower collectors, and cryptocurrency junk showing up.

police violence
@joepie91 meanwhile, warning a cop about one's own violence is not sufficient because it is then suddenly a threat
police violence
Always incredible how many people think that "well, the cops warned you" is somehow a justification for them to use violence

death to authority, death to those intent on forcing it on us. death to tankies.
