Really looking forward to explaining to my kid that his PII has been compromised for basically his entire life because he had the audacity to be born at a time when the positive incentives for computer security were nearly nonexistent and the regulatory penalties favored doing the bare minimum you can get away with.

Stickers seen around NYC in the days after cops opened fire in the NYC subway, shooting a fellow officer, two bystanders, and an alleged "fare evader" they were attempting to apprehend.

See a tent?
Fucking leave it alone, thanks.
Instead of complaining about a person's ONLY shelter, mind your own business.
As you go out of your way to make the life of a homeless person harder; ask yourself the question:
What the fuck is wrong with me?

meta, multiple examples of eris misgendering me and being racist and doing transmisogynoir at me

So I've been seeing a lot of white folks going the sad but predictable route of not believing any of the Black folks on here who have stated repeatedly that Eris and her cronies are super racist. So, even though a number of you still won't believe me, I'm going to give you examples of a few of the times that she has specifically targeted me with racist mistreatment (that I know about).

My direct experiences of her began when I wrote this short essay about white supremacy and gender binarism, which you can read here: https://medium.com/@evasblog/gender-binarism-and-white-supremacy-69df9b7c1cd7

Now, I'm going to just highlight that I spoke specifically about how white supremacy has, via the patriarchy, long sought to crush gender diversity as part of the process of colonization. White colonizers would consistently characterize people of color (especially folks who today would be considered Black) as savage and "uncivilized", and they would point to their differing gender norms as proof.

They were explicit at the time that their goal was to spread white supremacist patriarchal norms in order to culturally dominate these other societies. Nowadays, we live in the world they built. I'll come back to that later.

Eris did not like that I wrote this essay, I assume because I called out that people who claim to fight transmisia but fail to divest from white supremacy are actually enforcing the gender binary and are therefore transmisic by default. She made a post disagreeing, including the section highlighted below (more to follow in next post):

sensitive media
"But it becomes a dynamic where the casual nature of transmisogyny becomes normalized and those who perpetuate it, you and your circle, don't understand it enough because you don't experience it, and you don't similarly be 'good allies' to us, you don't listen to us and our needs"

Receipts of Jordyn/Eris misgendering @tillshadeisgone, saying they're too light skinned to be a real Black person (Trump much?), and saying that bc they have a beard they don't experience transmisogyny, and being generally abusive.

If you want to continue to defend this behavior, you're an antiblack transphobic piece of shit too.

🌱 My Neighbor Mastodon (and Fediverse)

I'm grateful for reaching 30K followers who appreciate my art here. Thank you, thank you, and thank you for your support!

Many characters are sitting on a branch over a small pond, in nature. The branch bends under the weight of the giant Mastodon mascot. On his head, Carrot is fishing, but only gets a flower. Near him, the mascot of Misskey Ai-chan (a young Japanese student dressed in a school uniform and with cat hears) is fishing: she has caught the mascot of Peertube, an octopus. Pepper the witch is sitting in the middle of the branch, amused by the scene, and on the left, Pleroma-tan (a fox girl in a dark Japanese dress, with a fox tail) is also amused by the scene. Under the branch hangs the mascot of Gotosocial, a sloth.

Oh no. One of our back-end services is down. This is causing latency spikes on the front-end and in the mobile app. Users don't understand what's happening, so they keep hitting reload. This is adding even more load to the server and making things worse. Only technical users know to just wait a while, and then try again later.

Me when using a service:
What the hell?! This should've loaded already! Why so slow?! I'll click reload a few more times! *ReloadReloadReload*

The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.

Interesting stuff...

I currently run #Guix on my HP Omen Notebook with a not quite german keyboard.

Switching from #X11 to #Wayland everything seems to work fine. Keyboard works as expected with the german layout in every program. Except in #Emacs. In Emacs I get a US? layout, even though the input method is set to `german-postfix`.

Switching back to #X11 Emacs works as expected.

Does anybody know what could be the cause here?

Because of the Twitter/X ban, many people from Brazil are moving to Mastodon, including Artists, so let's do an Art Share for them only! Let's help them get the boost they need around here!

After many months, a lot of work by many people, and countless twists, the ‘core-updates’ branch has been merged! 🎉

It brings updated libc, GCC, TeX Live, and more—check out ‘guix pull --news’. :-)

@shockwaver And it perfectly aligns with the lore going back to episodes 1, 2 and 3 as it creates an interesting conversation around the dogma of the Jedi and its consequences. That narrative has been around for forever, and it really dives into why the Sith are such a compelling antagonist.

But yeah you’re not wrong. Andor and The Acolyte were a surprise because Disney isn’t known for great storytelling.

I’m glad we got them, but it’s clear most of the fan base doesn’t care about compelling narratives either, so we’re going to get more Obi Wan Kenobi like shows that just give people nostalgia with zero substance.

The conversation around The Acolyte is insanity.

It’s been the best show since Andor because it explores aspects of Star Wars lore that have largely been ignored because Disney focuses on easy to digest simple good vs evil narratives to appeal to as many eyes as possible.

Just like every quality show that takes risks, it has its issues but the story is compelling.

Unfortunately, any interesting conversations about the show have been drowned out by bigots who are just really upset about Black and Brown people in space shattering their monoculture delusion about a space fantasy.

I’ll always love Star Wars, but the fan base is toxic to anything not white.

It just hates anything that deviates from this white savior narrative they’ve completely made up and isn’t even in line with the original story.
