Boosting with CW, but I love this take on MAGA.

Please for fucks sake CW your posts about transphobia.

Transphobia has a high tendency for making me actively suicidal.

it's pretty good that a king got stabbed and we are still making jokes about it two thousand years later

Look at them shine ✨

What appears to be an LRAD fired towards the crowd during 15 minutes of silence (one for each victim of the canopy collapse), causing a brief stampedo (fortunately with no serious consequences).

Students did what they planned to do after a security incident: they took off their reflective clothing and said that the protests are officially over, distancing themselves from whatever happens next.

What happens next remains to be seen, but needless to say, thousands of people are still out there.

some sketchbook entries i kinda forgot i did them..

I just remembered I never shared this critter I drew to fedi

To give you a sense of sheer scale, this is what Google's traffic layer looks like right now.

Despite the rain, despite the government shutting down every form of public transport towards Belgrade, the amount of people on the streets of Belgrade right now is absolutely *insane*.

Today's protest is already being referred to as the biggest protest in Serbian history — and rightfully so.

The people are still pouring in, the peak of the crowd isn't expected until 8pm.

In my opinion, there is a big difference between a malicious attempt at slowing down any fedi instances (activitypub-troll.cf, anyone?) and someone toying with AP to create games (such as the recent maze thing, or the Connect Four thing, over at fedi-crimes.lexi.re), happening to hit misbehaviour of a specific Misskey fork, as well as Friendica.
Especially since the former, the latter should have been entirely harmless, and I don't think throwing one under the bus and putting someone on goddamn fediblock for your specific fedi software malfunctioning is entirely fair.

That being said, while it was fun to watch, the maze thing should probably have been stopped and reported once notice was taken, no matter how slow the request rate, since never-ending fetches are a pretty nasty issue. The game can be restarted once affected implementations are fixed.

I’m glad “marlies fucked up” only came in second but nobody voted for my theory (microcontroller). Which was wrong, so I guess you were right not to. I’ve just done my Investigating (bye bye uptime on my homelab) and it turns out it’s option 1, it just died. Very disapponting. An smd component went pop, judging by the remaining scorchmark. https://tacobelllabs.net/@marlies/114162191875178140

The whole experience of the fedi is just yelling "hey nerds, I found something interesting..." into the abyss and the abyss going "fuck me, that is interesting"

FOSS is awesome but if you are mad about windows being evil and shitty the answer is not "tell people about linux". it isn't gonna work! it will never work! the answer is STOP MICROSOFT the answer is break the company the fuck up the answer is to get politically organized to round up all those fucks and throw em in prison for their crimes against humanity and software or whatever

but until then what you're doing is telling people "actually you're at fault here" for crimes of corps

i love open source, it's awesome, it's cool as fuck, I love using linux

but also i see it as... a major leader in an ongoing shift over the past 35 years away from "we can build a better world through collective organizing" to "you need to just start using the right software and not supporting the bad corporations, the problem is individuals not doing the right thing".
