Mark Zuckerberg and his minions at Meta see our slide into fascism -- which Zuckerberg actively funds, and Facebook actively profits from -- as a good product launch opportunity for facial recognition stalkerware goggles.

I hate how Android still has this patronizing "feature" where it refuses to allow you to remain connected to wifi with no internet. If it didn't do this, I could at least restart my router from my phone or use the LAN. But no, papa Android knows what I want better than I do, and what I want is clearly to have to go over to the router/modem, crouch through a bundle of wires, and flip a power switch on and off again manually. Fuck mobile OS developers.

re: pinned boundaries post 

@nelson are you a LinkedIn poster?

The snow is slowly melting away and I’m able to get out of my driveway (on a good day). My birthday is this Friday (the 13th) and I’m planning on doing something nice this week.

I’m gonna try to update my wishlists if I remember.

Along with getting groceries again probably this weekend, anything to make this week less stressful and depressing would be appreciated

That’s pretty much it, unless something pops up. Boosts are greatly appreciated ❤️

@shroomie
joke answer: How could it be a primitivist flag? Flags are civ shit!

serious answer: It is an "eco-anarchist" flag, I'm assured. I think the shade of green being used is sometimes distinguishable, sometimes not.

I get irrationally angry when I see crazy frog and they havent given him his wang

There is this conflict between just letting shit pass versus risking a scene because you gotta stand up for yourself to retain your self-respect and personal dignity. I grew up in a culture where letting shit pass was deemed universally wiser. But honestly as I've met more people from different walks of life it feels pretty cheap. For one thing, it is a lot easier to just let things slide from a position of power. And also people who aren't empowered encounter this choice more often per day, which tries their patience more. I think asserting ourselves is a form of power, and that refusing to is a sign of privilege (already having power) to put it very abstractly. And that's not something everybody can do, but I've decided that it is worth striving for. So if you ever ask yourself why I speak out even when I don't have full information laid out in an evidence database, that's why. Consider doing so as well! It feels great standing up for yourself, and it asserts boundaries that you never realized needed to be spoken. Like "don't fucking talk shit about me for posting about lentils" even. Thank you lentils hater, you made me realize that I needed to assert myself more!

Degenerate is a fascist word!

You are not a degenerate! No one is a degenerate!

It is not a real phenomenon that by low quality genetics you and your line will degenerate into mentally physically morally inferior non-human apes.

"Degen" is an excuse for genocide!

Do not describe things as degenerate!

@hazelnot oh wait. Rocky Linux, that's their target?? seriously??? Why?

Well maybe you can setup distrobox with a rocky linux container image just for DaVinci. What a pain.

@hazelnot Does DaVinci have a minimum requirements page, or an officially supported Distro of any kind?

@hazelnot if literally every other video editor on Linux can do it, there's not really a good excuse. I'm aware of the bad excuse. It sucks. Good luck setting up Hollywood Linux!

@hazelnot davinci resolve can't even import an .mp4 with an audio track correctly on Linux. When I tried it, I had to extract audio, re-encode it (ffmpeg, soundconverter, etc), and resync it to the video track for every new import.

Their linux support is so bad it is basically a lie.
