- Comment on "Tesla protesters are planning their “biggest day of action” yet, aiming for 500 demonstrations at Tesla showrooms across the world on March 29th..." 2 weeks ago:
Any given act of protest isn’t enough to save the country. But multiple acts building on each other will. It’s about continuing to apply pressure, one step at a time, until the fascist regime topples.
- Comment on Show top LLMs buggy code and they'll finish off the mistakes rather than fix them. 2 weeks ago:
Why bother with AI for that? black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 4 weeks ago:
The implicit demand is to stop supporting fascists.
- Comment on Good mail server for selfhosting 1 month ago:
Same! Okay, not without problems, because running a mailserver isn’t maintenance-free. But Mailu has been generally solid and it works with Docker. (And Podman, unofficially.)
- Comment on We're in the endgame now 1 month ago:
The word “legitimate” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that quote…
- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 1 month ago:
It’s good, but it’s centralized. Let’s say an authoritarian regime shuts down the central Signal servers. Then what?

Dude, do you even email?

This guy Overton windows.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 months ago:
People are also expected to understand the concept of manually picking a brand of toothpaste. My point is that if we can’t even expect a little consumer choice (the same consumer choice we have in the real world), then we deserve all the monopolization and centralization we get.
Also, selecting a Mastodon server isn’t like some scary technical choice. It’s like a vibe check and a signup form.
- Comment on This researcher wants to replace your brain, little by little. The US government just hired a researcher who thinks we can beat aging with fresh cloned bodies and brain updates. 5 months ago:
Read Old Man’s War.
- Comment on How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room? 6 months ago:
Dude, if you’re having heart palpations, go to fucking urgent care. That shit can be lethal. Atrial fibrillation? Atrial flutter? They can cause blood clots which can cause stroke. Urgent care will know what to do, even if that’s just calling a cardiologist elsewhere to look at your EKG or even stuffing you in an ambulance and driving you to an ER.
Don’t want to take medical advice from a rando on the internet? (You shouldn’t!) Then call your goddamned nurse line. They will sort you out and tell you exactly where to go.
Good luck.
