Live human event tonight, Minneapolis
To celebrate Ground Zero Nightclub in Minneapolis (finally) requiring vaccination for entry, I'll be doing cool stuff in the back room with computers and Barbie Glamtastic Texters.
Also, there'll be some visuals courtesy of a collaboration between https://cyberia.club and https://livecode.nyc up until midnight cst, so you might wanna check that out, too.
I'll be the nerd with the laptop, crop top and n95 aura mask, feel free to say hi! :)
re: Texas situation/ONI
@thegibson@hackers.town I read through those instructions and thought "I don't think I could do this untraceably/securely enough to dodge a surveillance state". I hope someone else has ideas on how to do it more safely.
I'm happy to read/test out any setup instructions for ease-of-use, or to turn any instructions people do write into an illustrated comic. I just don't know enough to be confident that I wouldn't be giving someone a false sense of security.
Texas situation/ONI
@thegibson@hackers.town y'all might also want to propagate some diy medicine info, while you're at it.
Maybe put together a 'beginner's guide' to following the instructions linked in the following article as securely/privately/safely as possible?
Stuff like when to use a VPN, PO box, etc.

@thegibson@hackers.town this seems like big @vortex_egg energy
lawn signs
@t54r4n1 at the risk of being the uncool kid, how does one get a sex forest lawn sign?
@Sorl is your commissions info posted somewhere?
Texas politics, abortion
Yo, there's some real fucked up restrictions that went into place. You might know someone who could benefit from you (yes, YOU) having the substances mentioned here on-hand.
Remember that at six weeks, most people still don't know they're pregnant.

twitch abuse
Twitch Streamers are taking Today off to Protest Hate Raids and Abuse
Twitch streamers boycott the platform to raise awareness for marginalized voices
Twitch streamers are on strike to protest inaction over abuse
These are three different things. Protesting bad user behavior, protesting the refusal to listen to complaints about it, protesting against refusal to take action.
By the time you get all three, stuff is really bad and has been really bad for a long time.
So we're not crossing picket lines on Sept 1st at Twitch, right folks?
Support marginalized Twitch streamers and do not interact with Twitch on Sept 1st. This is to raise awareness for the countless cases of racist, homophobic and transphobic attacks on a platform that has falsely promised improvement.
Here’s Why Black and LGBTQ+ Gamers Are Taking #ADayOffTwitch | them.

Canadians, is your workplace or organization recognizing September 30th, the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation?
If yes, what specifically are you doing?
If no, have you asked your employer why not?
(If Canada lowered its flag for a day, for every child known to have died at your residential schools, the flag would not raise for 18 years.)
(Boosts encouraged.)

Fellow retro-perverts, i have good news! My CSS style for Mastodon that styles it like Windows 9x is now complete! #userstyle #mastodon #css https://github.com/GwyndolynMarchant/Mastodon97
What term best describes when software corps pull features from their free version and force you to pay for them? Especially the case where they take community contributions and put them behind a paywall? "Treehousing" evokes the idea of building a treehouse together but when youre down below, they pull up the ladder on you. "Gangplanking" is perhaps more self-describing ;) other ideas welcome! inspired by @dumpsterqueer and @handle
