The power of seeing just one or two other people wearing a mask while I am wearing a mask in a big public space is something I think we don't talk about enough. Maybe we can't fix each other's risk overall but you decrease my isolation and the potential negative attention of other people on me and as a covid disabled person in this terrible world, that really matters

The reason we're still talking about 9/11 and ignoring COVID is because 9/11 served as a pretext and COVID was seen as an inconvenience by the ruling elite. And even they seem bored with it, to be honest.

What the hell are Slack playing at? Do they not use their own product?

I really do need to update my blogroll. Yeah maybe only 3 people will be on it, but I need to start there, sigh.

After *years* of mild bemusement about why an adult would enjoy building Lego, my wife has suddenly become obsessed with building Lego, and has decided she needs to buy ’the biggest ever Lego set’. Although she does still insist on calling it Legos because she knows how much it infuriates me.

cool fact: the original luddites didn’t oppose technology but rather the bosses using new tech to disenfranchise workers! the bosses then had the luddites murdered in the streets and their arguments were replaced with “tech bad 🤢” to prevent others from carrying on their challenge to industrial authorities

It's important you run three antivirus. 1 from USA to detect FSB, 1 from Russia to detect NSA, and 1 from Finland to detect Sweden.

"It takes a village" is not just about raising children. It's also about marriages, living with people, friendships, and any form of relationship and nurturing growth in a community. Marriages and long term relationships need support too. #CommunitiesMatter #FindYourVillage

🆕 blog! “Who reads my blog?” Hello! Thank you for reading what I write. Sorry to ask, but… who are you? I was chatting to a friend about what it is like running a blog, finding new topics, keeping up with a daily schedule, moderating comments, etc. And they asked, quite reasonably, "who are your readers?" And, honestly, I have very […] 👀 Read more: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/09/who-reads-my-blog/ ⸻ #blogging #meta

Boy, I really love this. I could see myself doing stuff like this after I retire, maybe I can apprentice. 😂 #Art #Artwork #StreetArt Their website: https://ememem.art Their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ememem.flacking

@grimalkina@mastodon.social That's a brilliant point. Like people want to be immortal but are almost suicidally bored on rainy days.

And, yes, I have tried setting it to ISO8601 an/or 24 hour time. No luck. What kind of divot picks a single letter to represent a month? #meta #Oculus #VR

Batman has the potential of being a hero by one very significant element (imo) that he isnt a billionaire in a sense that he made himself one from the ground up (as in he proactively, consciously got up the class ladder by exploiting people), but rather is a son to a billionaire family and has experienced first-hand trauma of a corrupt capitalist system that could be analyzed as his family being responsible for producing. I do believe that we can have an anti-fascist bruce wayne, there have been some deconstructive stories about him learning of his family's responsibility in the creation of the corrupt society that he was born into, and there is a hint of restorative justice in batman' stories. But even then, this is me giving a HUUUUUGE benefit of the doubt to batman as an archetype and i would be inclined to agree that my interpretation of batman would need extreme deconstruction of the character from the ground up to make him redeemable.

Attached: 1 image Exhausted and dehydrated, I slowly walk the last few steps. “This has to be it,” I think to myself. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes and turn the handle, whispering a little prayer as I step through. I open my eyes and the last trickle of hope leaks away. I am still in IKEA.

Though it's tempting to get out the world's tiniest violin when Sam Bankman-Fried complains about his peanut butter sandwiches, it should make you wonder: if even he can't have his basic needs met in jail, what about the less privileged? https://newsletter.mollywhite.net/p/sam-bankman-frieds-jail-conditions #SBF #FTX #crypto #cryptocurrency #PrisonersRights

Beginning to think about how to approach #FOSDEM next year, as it's officially become an opportunity I can't miss. But I both value my health and can't take unnecessary risks with COVID, and I authored and signed the @phpledge@floss.social. I foresee lots of time spent bundled up outdoors, or maybe a fringe event. Maybe I can work with a subset of DevRoom organizers to put common sense precautions in place, such people like me can actually participate. Hmmm... 🤔

https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/111035301809333340 I don't think people realize just how much 'marketing gender' shapes our commercial world. This is the stuff of Gender: "Men" "Women" "Kids" This is why when you get the gender bit set as you browse the web without an ad blocker, ALL your ads change. Want to avoid cryptocurrency ads? Look up wedding stuff before visiting anything related to software development. Not to say you won't get even more horrifying things, but you will be coded as 'women'. Oh wait, I'm hearing _men get married too?_ that can't be right. Only women look at wedding things.
