Stop normalizing that you need to go find an alternative to a FOSS project the very hecking moment it goes into maintenance mode/read-only/archival.
Good gods people are already going "Neofetch is dead what's the alternative". It still works fine!
Normalize the idea that software can be "finished" and not be updated until a major feature shortfall or security issue arises, then someone can fork it. Or fork it now, I'm not your mom, but the original is still okay.
Actively finding more and more reason why capitalism is actively detrimental to modern society
It's not only what it is actively doing to everyone, making us miserable, but the SHEER AMOUNT of human social progress it is actually holding back, is ungodly
I had an idea of what it was, but holy Jesus fuck, I'm getting my history perception checked rn
History will look back at this time and call it the Second Dark Ages.

Another day, another hospital which is far from fit for purpose, but has to continue to be used even when parts of the building are rendered inaccessible due to collapsed roofing.
This is the everyday reality if what happens when you decide you can cut maintenance budgets as part of a defunding strategy to cripple the NHS.
If you think this is an accidental consequence of Tory health policy, you've not been paying attention.

With my day job, I end up training lots of people on new technology, and explaining concepts to people as jargon-free as possible.
Almost every person apologises for asking or for them being โstupid questionsโ.
As I see it, thereโs no such thing as a stupid question when you had no reason to know the answer to begin with!
But having seen the way people can gatekeep knowledge or act like theyโre stupid or annoying for asking questions, I can see why theyโre tentative.๐งต https://cutie.city/@Quenby/112373846919511547
Do me a favor.Quit making fun of people (of any age but especially kids) who ask genuine questions.
I have to pull questions out of adults now because at some point someone made fun of them for being curious.
It's not embarrassing to learn, you shouldn't feel guilty for thinking of a question and asking an expert.
You should feel happy that you are still curious about the universe.
Make learning a positive experience? Please?

This story is a great example of how journalists act like they have amnesia. After 1.5 years of watching Elon run Twitter based on whims and fits of rage, thereโs no secret genius reason why he fired the entire supercharger team.

I just realized that Obscura turned seven a few days ago! Here's a photo from when they were new, and a similar photo recently taken. It's been fun exploring things and myself through them! ๐
This hospital wasnโt deemed bad enough to be one of the 40 to be supposedly rebuilt under Johnsonโฆitโs now had two ceilings collapse in critical care and radiology units. Patients werenโt hurt only due to swift actions of staff.
How horrific do things have to be in this country for people to say they deserve and need better?

So glad the rumour that Johnson got turned away from a polling station for lack of photo ID is actually true. Hilarious. Reportedly the fool thought an envelope with his name and address on would do.

Rawr!
A world where wild dino pandas roam freely! Roaring with laughter and stomping around.
I want to give a big shoutout to my buddy, Steel, my RAD panda bro! His friendship means the world to me, like having a dino friend by my side.
Here's to dino pals and like him, who make every journey a fantastic one! Friends whose presence are in our lives a guide, through both joyful moments and challenging times. Those friendships who transcends borders and time zones. They remind us that love and understanding know no boundaries, transcending physical distance and cultural differences.

I wish more people would understand kernel-level anti-cheats are fundamentally incompatible with computing freedom, they're not just bad for privacy, that can be true of anything that is allowed to run as admin too.
But look at the language the developers of these things are using, they're all in on the platform security/trusted computing crap, they want hard attestation of your boot environment. And the reason they don't want to support Linux? They can't verify the kernel and all its modules, they especially can't do that across distros.
In the name of fighting cheaters they're willing to nuke all compatibility tools, and kill the chance of gaming on other operating systems taking off. And then they will complain about it not having enough market share to matter, which they partly contributed to.
They're willing to use the technology that treats the owner as the enemy on their own system and allows them to restrict their software choices to an approved set.
Imagine how it would look like if they took their approach to Linux.
No installing your own kernels, that's naughty!
What, you're telling me you need that module for a piece of hardware you use?
Nobody should need a stamp of approval from a big tech company to have their system considered "trusted"
Because I can never get enough of them, shiny glowy dance floor vibes are in again this #FursuitFriday!

@mmccue - new numbers, but ones that tell the same story we discussed on your podcast: on my server, we have about 1 moderator to 500 users. Here are the new numbers on how that dynamic plays out for major social platforms in the EU:
"X does have the worst ratio of moderation staff to users, at 1/60,249, with LinkedIn coming in second (1/41,652), then TikTok (1/22,586) and Meta (1/17,600)."

The latest EU transparency reports provide insight into the comparative moderation staff numbers.Andrew Hutchinson (Social Media Today)
