re: Freenode 

@thegibson@hackers.town @drwho@hackers.town yeah, that's maybe worth mentioning, too. There was another reply that seemed like they were trying to 'both sides' things was my main concern...

Thanks for the link

Freenode 

@drwho@hackers.town from what I understand, the volunteer moderation team left after the current owner told them to stop moderating the way they'd been for years. As the org runs on donated hardware, folks expect the network, once the mods leave, to fall apart.

Migration to libera.chat is underway.

it's 2021 but apparently some people are still out of the loop so

do not use the term "fren"

here's a good place to start on why
reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comm

it's a nazi/alt-right dogwhistle and i don't wanna see it. do not use it in any context. don't just stop using it around me but continue using it around others. just don't use it at all. if you hear someone else say it tell them to stop too. if they refuse to stop even after you have informed them then that should be raising some serious red flags

i am going to be implementing a block on sight no questions asked policy going forward

@haskal thanks for letting me know! I picked it up from local antifa nerds, had no idea there was a Bad Internet Place associated.

Legal funds for a Black anti-racist activist facing excessive charges + legal repression, please boost and donate 

“Our beloved activist friend is innocent, but they're sitting in jail with a $1M bail, which is ridiculous and excessive for protest-related activities. We are raising money for a private defense attorney who has agreed to take the case, and once we get J.W.'s bail reduced we will need remaining funds for the bail.”

ACAB, good news from Georgia 

"In essence, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that if police perform an unlawful arrest, the person being arrested can use a proportionate amount of force against the police, including damaging property, to resist and avoid this unlawful arrest."

alch metaphor 

@aurynn I've been really pleased with how cozy masto feels. Twitter seems a bit like yelling into a sports bar full of drunk football people. Maybe there's cool people in there, somewhere, but those aren't really my kind of odds.

@vortex_egg I think meetup vibes vs makerspace vibes are usually kinda different. I'd give the makerspace a shot, see if you can help out with anyone's project, etc. I hope they're cool :)

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

Bad sleep, tarot, overwork, python, git 

Hi hello, I have a meeting in six hours and I haven't slept yet. But! Tonight I re-implemented the basics for my tarot reading generator and made some good steps towards getting it running as a little app on a raspi with a touch screen! And, the whole thing talks to a receipt printer, and it's on git.

Next up is installing the dependencies on the pi, being kinder to the folks hosting my code rn (I haven't written an ignore file yet...), and building a card interpretation dictionary and printing that alongside the card image.

But hey, I'd put this part off forever, so yay for doing the first step. It's hosted here, if you want to read. It's a lot of sample code still floating around. giit.cyberia.club/~starless/ta
