Someone talk to me? I need to restabilise after everything. Ick and double ick.
Ugh..my head has been everywhere. It's about as fun as it sounds.
Hoo boy, Linux Developers acting like children...
Because Linus has admitted that he was a bit of a jerk, and backing away to help calm things down, as well as adopting a code of conduct, Linux Kernal developers are threatening to wreck Linux as a whole.
And THEY say that we act like children..right, okay.
You can't win no matter what you do, it looks like..*sighs*
UKPol
This is really scary. It's looking like the UK goverment is abandoning the Convention of Human Rights.
I'm starting to get the feeling that a lot of people don't have any joy in their lives, so make it their mission to make everyone else as miserable as they there. Companies, people..I can tell you now, it won't fly with me.
Oh, don't forget to enable OMEMO!
There are secure phones for sale, but..your average activist isn't going to have $2000, or around..£1510 to buy one. Sometimes, they have to make do with what they have. Stop making security expensive!
If by any chance you use XMPP, I now have an account! squeakycheetah@jabber.calyxinstitute.org
USPOL
If you ever needed a reminder that the goverment will do anything to get their way..this is it. The Supreme Court has upheld the Muslim Ban.
If you're curious, the Tmux sticker was from Unixstickers before their product lines fell quickly. The anti-fascism one..I don't know. But the pan pride floppy? from @Mous@mastodon.art !
So..finally I have some laptop stickers!
Trying to get back onto FurryMUCK, but Trebuchet seems to freak out over a self-signed TLS certificate.
GlobalPol, Pep talk
It might be pointless, but it's not going to kill me to try.
Standing up against evil is the only way to make things better. Tumblr decided to conspire with Nazis, and I walked away from it as a result over FOSTA/SESTA.
Don't be prepared to give it, and if it's true that we're all going to die? Fight anyway. Don't go down without a fight.
If we fight, we have a better chance of winning than if we don't. Always remember that.

Offensive "memes"
Seriously though. If a standard such as "don't mock austic people" is too high a behavioral standard for you, I don't want to know you.

content warning, thanks, meta
@mallaidh
so much this.
we are only as strong as we are gentle with eachother, and sharing is caring only if it's properly CW'd.
If a triggering toot is massively boosted, it can make the fediverse toxic for marginalized/hurting people for *days*, which can severely impact their (cough, my, cough) ability to be online at all.
I frequently mute people who use CW text unethically, too.
Put the info behind a wall.
Let me choose.

CWs, activism
coz usually the people willing to put the most work in, even for the most urgent and disastrous political horrors... are multiply marginalised people.
multiply marginalised people are more likely to have ptsd and are at more risk of burnout and have more engagement with activism. AND less avenues of treatment available.
this idea that scaring fence-sitting liberals is worth more than helping seasoned activists work safely.. it's not realistic. people ignoring it aren't gonna help

CWs
if you would like me to be able to read urgent things, please CW it so that not only can i read it, i can also responsibly boost it, and like, KEEP reading it if i have to stop
"i'm not CWing this because it's important to actually read it" translates to "i'm not CWing because any time this pops up anywhere in your life, nomatter how much you've read or done about it elsewhere, you should be forced to read it"
do u really think the people who don't open "urgent, USpol" are willing to act?

Apparently some ISPs decided @SDF was "dark web" and blocked it. How long until @tildetown gets the same thing? Your mastodon instance? Netflix?
Here's proof that Male Sylveons can be cute!
