portland / cops / raids / important!
from the PDX IWW GDC:
Earlier today a comrade in Portland had their home raided by the Portland Police in relation to one of the recent demonstrations. The Portland Police detained this activist on charges including rioting, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. The police seized many items of clothing, some goggles, and walkie talkies. In these situations, remember to get all paperwork from the officers and look it over to ensure they are only taking what is listed on the warrant. Take pictures of any damage. Do not talk to the police. Once the police have left, or you are released, immediately contact the National Lawyer's Guild, your comrades, and the GDC (that's us!) to get the word out. It’s important to communicate about what is going on, and be upfront with your comrades and community about what happened while interacting with the police, and anything you learned in that process. We are stronger and safer when we openly share information and support each other through these experiences.

Literally all the conversation about him on fediverse was fine.
Was able to stay calm and didn't have a twinge of anxiety about it
I see memes on Facebook about his "innocence" and only now do I feel sick to my stomach and dizzy

@Jo I think he still is, he's attacking someone for having neurological conditions, calling them a liar.

if they are converting your effort into cash, you're a worker, and you need a union

it's a bummer but not a surprising one that youtube has refused to negotiate with the youtubers union

at least the article refers to these folks as workers, which youtube itself won't

@noiob Certain games don't allow cloud backups to avoid save scumming, from what I understand.
re: spambot alert, suspension recommendation
@flussence@nulled.red @zoe Also the repo that's been linked to (cloudflare-tor), someone's having a meltdown there, too..unless they're the same person.
I don't know.
@sc Uh oh, what's happened now?
Tech bros are really friggin' problematic.
An industry that forces crunch-time slavery, is rather unstable to work for, and which for decades has been misogynist and objectified women as trophies and rewards has turned out to be a breeding ground for problematic entitled bro culture.
I really would love this to not be the case, but more and more individuals keep coming out as being toxic manipulators and abusers.
Of course, this isn't isolated to the gaming industry...
@Taris @Siphonay@octodon.social And they would replace it with something far worse.
Treatment of native Americans for the last few generations
Thank you white people, for the systemic genocide of Native Americans.
Nb4 "what genocide?" I have these to show you
Boarding homes, forced sterilization of children, forcibly taking the children away and adopting them out to "good" white christian homes, destroying all treaties, banning languages, forced drug addictions, lack of resources, rape, murder, burning all writings, forced assimilation of children.
And more.
...or at least, the Marxist-Leninists I've run into creep me out. Maybe there's one out there somewhere with a shred of self-awareness?
re: spambot alert, suspension recommendation
@flussence@nulled.red @zoe
It seems like whoever runs the repo there is throwing a hissy-fit, and has just added links to cloudflare everywhere.
@JulieSqveakaroo I guess!
@JulieSqveakaroo Killing faeries. Really.
