🥽Peace, love, truth, and justice have again become counter-cultural ideals.

I walk down the street, and the graffiti literally tells me to “respect women” while the most powerful man in the world brags about raping them to thunderous applause.

I want you to consider the vibe that represents. That hate is in the halls of power while cries for love and justice literally line the streets.

I’m with the graffiti, my friends. Peace, love, truth, and justice have always been my core values, even when I wrap it in layer upon layer of ideological complexity so I don’t break down crying when I see the injustice in the world.

That complexity is rent asunder. It approaches a taxonomy of harm, a way to keep myself aligned with my values in a world that questions them daily.

But I do believe in these things. When I walk around in the street I see them every day, as people hold each other and clasp hands fearful of tomorrow.

And so, I am no longer afraid.

So. I have this like, 20-year-old Rio mp3 player that still works and has music on it. Nearest I can tell, it's a Rio Forge, tho it doesn't have any branding on it besides the Rio logo, and it looks slightly different from the Forge. It's yellow and black with a red control button/nipple/joystick/whatever. I tried using the 'rio' CLI program to access the files on it, but apparently that was written for the Rio Diamond. Does any1 know how to access the files on this thing?

dear developers, just as the opposite of "Yes" is not "Maybe later", the opposite of "Agree" is not "Options"

And yah everything you see from us? It's with also the collective helping me for basic living and the work I do is entirely from my bed

You should rest when you're ill, no matter how "no big deal" it seems. Wear a mask and avoid getting ill like your life depends on it, because it does.

I've been sick for over two decades, more than half my life, and I wish I had ever gotten to live more than this unlife

maybe y'all have heard of the DoubleCounter Discord bot, it's used to stop alt accounts for joining servers

turns out, it's an absolute privacy nightmare, and that it sells access to what alt accounts someone owns without your consent or being legally allowed

every now and then i get an urge to make a search engine

I keep getting ads for free memorial coins (excluding shipping), and I wonder: what's the grift here? What's in it for them, such they can run ads, strike a coin, and send it for 4 euros? Or is this just a free first sample and they're hoping that I'll buy more coins from them?

Unhinged Outsider parenting tip: Try not to lie to your children. And if you do, write every lie you tell them down, along with why you lied. When they're ready, tell them.

have people on the indie game scene made any weird terminal based games lately? seems like an underexplored “platform”

Do you regularly add alt texts to your images?
Please be honest, I want to use this result in an essay.

This is really important advice, especially for anyone dealing with mental health struggles or a chronic illness.

Hey there, I thought I'd #askFedi because I'm already tired of #AI (#LLM) #slop killing the #web (and #computing in general), and it looks like it's only going to get worse. Is there a #movement that seeks to connect and promote content, #software, services, etc. made by actual #humanBeings? Maybe with a campaign badge.

USA companies and military using indigenous tribes, names, and general vocabulary to describe their products (especially war machines) are disgusting and should be called out. If you didn't get permission from the Apache people, you can't call your thing or software "Apache".

If you don't live here, you don't understand how quiet it is. It gets quiet enough in residential areas at night that you can hear a pin drop. If you pull up on a motorcycle outside of the city center after 21:00 everyone hears it. Its so incredibly loud and awful. As an autistic person I love how quiet this city is. Gas powered motorcycles (and of course cars) ruin it.

The Netherlands has given me a new found hatred of combustion motorcycles. They sound like ear piercing farts. I have no patience for them because they're not necessary. You can walk, bike, or take public transit here. You could even get an electric bike or motorcycle. Instead you sound like you have the meat farts from blocks away and you disrupt all conversation with your painful gas.
