  The question, though, is what the judiciary is going to do with these seemingly inevitable contempt rulings. Let’s just say I’m not terribly excited about the prospect of fines unless that’s just the opening salvo.

  Keeps the comb-over from blowing out of place in the wind.

  Trump’s outtie enjoys frequent victories in golf tournaments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital media – a threat to democracy? The evidence is piling up.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not defending social media or its algorithms, but you’ve also got to look at what predated it. People used to get their news and information from news anchors and newspapers that were mouthpieces for capitalists and conservatives. So maybe not as extremist or even as effective at influence as a social media algorithm, but still not great. Personally, I don’t want to go back to relying on corporate news outlets either.

  Congrats! That looks awesome. The trailer is giving some strong Pony Island vibes.

• ⁨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..."⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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.

  The implicit demand is to stop supporting fascists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good mail server for selfhosting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s good, but it’s centralized. Let’s say an authoritarian regime shuts down the central Signal servers. Then what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, do you even email?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This guy Overton windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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.

  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.
