bad scifi I won't name the title of 

I've been posting through reading bad scifi as of late if you follow me. Recently I stumbled across some pre-ancient aliens TV show ancient aliens scifi which references Chariots of the Gods from Erich von Däniken sympathetically. It is weirdly anti-evolved intelligence as well. Which has me thinking if "uplift" into sapience as a scifi trope is just intricately connected with colonialism and the ancient aliens trope of "anything old made by non-white people required aliens". I haven't read any scifi featuring the uplift trope until now and I am thinking that the co-occurence of ancient aliens isn't a cultural coincidence.

Something about 2001 being the start year in the menu dialog... Hits different... :gwbush: :911:

The future should have been automatic battery hotswapping, instead of developing slightly better fast charging technology and sharing data and power delivery.

Nowadays you can't even replace most batteries.

I remember hearing reports of ICE deporting African Americans *during the Obama years*

All ICE is for is social management (ie disappearing "dangerous" or *superfluous" people) in the interest of maintaining state power

Looks like both prospective roommates we were going to talk to today flaked. If you know anyone in Northampton, MA that needs a place to live starting September. We need the lease signed by May.

Apparently, all RSS readers are banned on Google Play:

Google added some restrictions to news app and I don’t see how Flym (and other RSS aggregators) could comply to that. For instance, Flym cannot provide a “valid and verifiable contact information” for the feed, nor it can assure that “each of the sources must meet News policy requirements”.

As of today, Flym updates on Play Store are blocked by Google. So I have archived this project in order to clearly show that I won’t maintain it anymore. I’m not aware of any official way of publishing an RSS client on PlayStore and do not have motivation to argue with Google.

Just one more argument against ever using Google Play.

Remember to tape a candle to the top of your roomba tonight to find all the chametz in your house before pesach, set to shutdown on sabbath mode after sundown.

I will not explain further. vote now.

cryptographic handshake vs cryptographic handholding

every fucking step of the way everyone else at the union disregarded the trans healthcare ask. it took me fucking outing myself and saying it was MY survey before they considered it. and then they continuously brushed it under the rug, every step of the way, trying to get me and everyone to forget about it.

i hate unions. “representation for all” more like representation for cishet white men.

Hey y'all! Might as well #introducemyself on this server as well😂

I cannot understate how much an artist leaving mastodon.art destroys my server's ability to actually fetch the media you are trying to promote. Idk what the infra setup is at mastodon.art, but none of those others servers have it working reliably. I always gotta load the web browser when people are "seeking more visibility" where I previously would have just seen it.

If you are a visual artist it is obviously important that your art actually loads on my screen so I can see it.
