Love it when I run into a years-old problem when trying to build something, and it was fixed upstream two weeks ago: github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/ 🥳

Anglosphere care about oppressive internet legislation other than that of the US challenge 2023 (impossible)

It's pure coincidence that Elon Musk just happened to erase the entire record of how twitter was used to organize and share photos and video from Arab Spring, right?

@BlackAzizAnansi Not to mention years and years of posts about things like Arab Spring have been mass deleted in recent days. We’re losing *history* because Elon doesn’t want to pay for storage.

Dating someone who doesn't think trans women belong in the same spaces as cis women or anything else along those lines?

You got some major changes to make if you want to be someone who's accepting of trans people

Veertig jaar geleden, op de nacht van 20 op 21 augustus 1983, werd de 15-jarige Kerwin Duinmeijer vanwege racistische motieven vermoord in Amsterdam. De dader, een 16-jarige racistische skinhead, had een tatoeage met '100% white', noemde Kerwin het n-woord, en bracht de Hitlergroet. Desalniettemin verklaarde de rechter dat racisme geen motief voor de daad was.

Ondanks dat Kerwin geen gerechtigheid heeft kunnen krijgen in de rechtbank, heeft zijn moord grote impact gehad. Het maakt pijnlijk duidelijk hoe gevaarlijk de excessen van extreemrechts en racisme kunnen zijn. Daarom dient zijn moord op alle manieren mogelijk herinnerd te worden.

In het Amsterdam Museum aan de Amstel is een tentoonstelling te zien van de gebeurtenis. Daarnaast pleit Amsterdam BIJ1 voor een gedenksteen voor Kerwin en is er een jaarlijkse herdenking in Amsterdam die wordt georganiseerd door de Stichting Vrienden van Kerwin: facebook.com/vrienden.vankerwi

And before you ask, no, disability insurance is not a solution, the exact kind of disease that makes you need a transplantation also makes you an auto-reject case at basically every insurer, because that's all privatized of course

Love how as a freelancer, there's apparently absolutely no financial safeguards whatsoever when getting a transplantation and having to recover (and therefore not do work) for potentially months

You apparently just need to have money

Devs should really grab an old netbook from ebay with an atom cpu and 1-2GB of ram and see how well their new React app works on that

Wanneer gaan we die fucking tweetakt-brommertjes nou eens verbieden

Old school hacker rant 

Still can’t work with online social groups that mandate using our legal names instead of our net names, because “we need a real identity”.

My net name is my identity, you weirdos.

:blobcatfluffangry:

Fyi if you're a cishet and you don't actively stand up to transphobic / queerphobic relatives I personally consider you not a decent human being

I'm looking for a name for something that's designed to be calm and non-stressful, non-distracting to use. Usually people use the term 'zen' for that, but that feels rather icky from an appropriation perspective.

Does anyone have any suggestions for similar terms, that are also similarly memorable/catchy?

White racism in Japan 

Part of the reason I started this instance was so that I and anyone who chooses to join me could talk freely about things that not supposed to be talked about in Japan, on Twitter or otherwise.

Racism is a problem in Japan. It's a problem in the US. It's a problem in Europe. It's a problem everywhere.

A very unique set of circumstances occurs where people *from other countries* come to Japan and maintain racist beliefs. The same kinds of people who insist that racism doesn't exist (or if it does, that people like *me* are the ones who perpetuate it) take their beliefs from home, go abroad, sometimes to countries that do not have significant discussions or understandings concerning racism, and probably feel even freer to spout their hate than they did back home.

Here, no one will challenge them. Especially in a country like Japan, where "politics" aren't often discussed in public.
