word salad about: What happened to websites? 

What happened to websites? There was nothing wrong with them. If a big tech corporations wrote some good GUI-based office software for webpage design, and if that had become an office worker skill, we'd be in a very different place today. But now there is all this money in siloing users into services, and leaving webpage design to specialist application developers which would ensure this cannot happen via industry. Maybe we could do some damage repair via the commons, but we are playing catch-up when a generation or three have lost all the requisite knowledge to even use an office UI on a computer (as opposed to a cloud service). Nobody knows what directories and files are. They can't find their home folder on their computer. They don't know you can move or delete files. The early wave of tech enthusiasm in education has metastasized into an industry pipeline for future web application developers. No time for computer usage basics even for the corporate world's operating systems. There was a while where schools were so giddy about the future there were HTML classes for kids. Imagine what that could be with an easy to understand office-suite style webpage creator, and a world full of incredibly cheap webpage hosting like ours today. No we're in the timeline where things are siloed enough that the silos can setup official security checkpoints on behalf of the state, asking for identification. That was completely incompatible with the idea of a web with sites for everyone. Now all it takes are a few mergers and acquisitions, and buying out the right political lobbyists to take over all the single points of power. A lot of education and technology communication work lies ahead, and we still need the tools.

Urgent mutual aid request for disabled couple and cat safety, last part and donation link 

It includes intensive treatment against mold, cleaning absolutely everything and helping us sort and pack our belongings.

I know it's a huge amount of money, but we have no one but you to ask.

Please boost if you can't donate, it'd be greatly appreciated to help us get ready to flee to safety. Thank you so much for any and all help.

Please stay safe first. Sending love, if wanted

1. Hear about this thing called "Tiktok."
2. Point web browser to tiktok.com/ from DuckDuckGo as referer (Of course I searched it first).
3. Get redirected to Tiktok's 404 error page tiktok.com/404?fromUrl=/en%22
4. Wonder how this crap even gets people to sign up.

It is strange. Can't seem to reproduce it consistently, but sometimes this happens, from DuckDuckGo specifically in the one instance I got it to work. Browsing directly, and other links to their homepage seem to work. Duckduckgo's index injected some garbage you can see in the fromUrl.

It just feels like the web is growing soft and rotten like a damp forest log from the core outwards these days. I hope it makes a good compost at least.

I've been told that maple syrup is "the natural scent" of my "veganism".

What did she mean by this?

As part of the patriotic "digital sovereignty" initiative of the DPRK we are making RedStar OS freely and illegally available to all interested revolutionary patriots.

I went to the gym but no one was there. Into a squat rack was carved the word BROATOAN.

We've had this long furling tape from Japan for the longest time, for years!! thinking it was in inches. Causing us lots of mistakes and fuck ups, the whole time we thought it was our own miscalculations, that we must have messed up in converting it to metric or something.

1) The unit on the tape is in tenth of a foot.
2) That's almost exactly 3cm, BUT NOT QUITE.
3) The ruler says FEET, but then breaks it down in 3cm segments each divided in tenth of a tenth of foot.

Remember how last September, Trump announced that he would be cracking down on all opposition to fascism, designating it "terrorism"?

crimethinc.com/Safeguarding

If you are not personally experiencing repression yet, it is thanks to those—for example, in Los Angeles and Minnesota—who tied the administration down in other fights.

As Trump’s position weakens, he and his supporters will attempt more and more dangerous schemes to maintain their grip on power. They still have enough time to inflict a tremendous amount of suffering, both in the US and overseas. We should prepare for new rounds of repression, new assaults. This fight is not over.

In chess, once you become focused on defense, you have lost the game. To face down the administration, we need proactive strategies. Rather than reacting over and over, we have to choose the time and place of conflicts, tying up the resources and labor cycles that will otherwise be directed at us.

ok, some education for cis people

"taking estrogen has a risk of cancer" - because you grow boobs. Having boobs means having a risk of breast cancer, same as for cis women

If somebody says estrogen should be gatekept because of cancer risk, they are spreading misinformation

hopefully it's not news for anybody who follows me, but hey, might as well
