@BalooUriza I'm not talking about only republicans, but also democrats, unaligned centrists, and the politically disengaged masses. political leaning is irrelevant to the whims of the neoliberal core, the only thing that matters to them is control and profit - they get to manufacture the narrative and define reality to suit their desires.
remember in early 2022 when biden announced "its time to go back to work" as if hospitals weren't still saturated with COVID-related deaths? when the CDC abruptly changed their reporting methods and fabricated consent for mask mandates to be dropped almost everywhere?
I'm sure you remember most of this but it bears repeating again: all of this was done with intent. 2020's initial lockdowns exposed the US economy as a flimsy house of cards and pushed it to the verge of collapse. neoliberal elites begged for a bailout and received it under the guise of "relief" and "stimulus" packages, 0% interest rates, and the fed outright directly buying corporate debt under the quantitative easing program.
they took advantage of what was essentially unlimited "free" money to pump the stock market and completely detach it from the reality of the "working class" economy. by the end of 2021 the stock market went from a virtual crash to all-time highs and billionaire elites gained trillions in net worth.
all of this wealth extraction happened while us commoners were more concerned with trying to cope with the fallout of record inflation, unemployment, supply chain failures, >1 million COVID cases and hundreds of deaths daily. despite the bleakness of reality for the vast majority of americans, the neoliberal core wasn't satisfied with record profits and endless corporate liquidity, they wanted to "reopen the economy" and to abandon all the expensive safety guidelines. it took very little effort for them to coerce the government into declaring the pandemic officially over and to roll back what limited mediocre protections had been created.
we're still dealing with the fallout of this shit 4 years later, reality has finally been completely subverted as far as the current government and media is concerned. thankfully yes, more and more people are finally realising it's all bogus, but it shouldn't have had to get to this point before that happened

🌊 Smoky water and collapsing seaforts. Combining storm surges with neutral density filters and experimenting to create something a little different! I shot these long-exposure photos of the abandoned Karosta sea forts in Latvia.

I love how they turned out (even better that I, somehow, managed to not drop my camera into the sea!)

No spoiler hiding for this one, my loves. I need EVERYONE to see this. Boost this fucker to the MOON. Screenshot it, include my name, and spread it EVERYWHERE.

Sorry for the grim news. But I think this is important, and I want each of you in your respective countries to think about whether you'd be willing to contact your representative to tell them to pressure Canada to open the doors to trans refugees.

That's it. No changes in your countries are needed - just people willing to stand up and say "Never Again". This is the bad one. This is the Nuremberg Race Laws being enacted. This will basically strip all ability from any federally-funded entity - ANY - that allows that trans people exist.

This one, my friends, I'm sorry, but it's the choice to genocide the trans population of the US. A nice quiet one. Where we all just fade into obscurity, and are never seen again. They want to cause us so much despair that we will take care of the final solution part for them.

Please. If you give a damn about humanity, and people's rights to live as who they are...basic human dignity. Health care. Not being force-detransitioned in prisons that we've been put into because we were designated terrorists by the Nazi regime of Trump.

Just contact your rep, whoever that is, wherever that is, and start that conversation for me, okay? Just ask them to start asking questions. Of Canada. We have a chance to save literally hundreds of thousands of innocent US trans folk.

I can handle the work on this end, in Canada. I have people I can mobilise, work with. But international pressure would be an ENORMOUS help.

If you want to translate my post into your language, please do. If you DM me the text, I will re-post it myself, and take the arrows for spreading the call.

I - we - need your help.

ugh in addition to my stupid waste of time interview this morning the 2 most promising leads i had for contract work over the summer just backed out on me this past week after stringing me along. extremely frustrating.

finally finished fiddling with memory layout for the uxn side of kuro and starting routines for reading the 9pfs and drawing the UI :>

breakcore till midnight at open decks was great. everyone loved it and people were dancing hard

but i do need work that pays a living wage - https://lightcrystal.systems/consulting

I guess fundamentally my objection to vibe coding and LLM contributions in general is that, at least to me, the process of figuring shit out is the point.

I think cutting out that journey is bad engineering, because design docs are rarely correct on the first try.

Every time people tell you you’re overreacting to creeping government surveillance and you have to give them the “I told you so” glare.

The FBI wants to buy access to automated license plate readers (ALPRs) nationwide, which would likely allow the agency to track the movements of vehicles—and by extension people—across the country without a warrant.

He's immune from prosecution, now he's immune from American tax law, he's built himself a Schutzstaffel out of DHS, he's now stealing your money to build an SA too by settling lawsuits with himself, they're snatching families of brown people off the street, they're erasing trans people from public life and clearly mean to do a lot more than that, they've made you a terrorist for not being a nazi, they've cut every program that helps you not die to give billionaire nazi cultists more.

sharing impressions from our server charm workshop at amro. hands-on session and collective research of what intimate, local and wearable publishing could be

1: crack disposable vapes to source ur battery

2: solder esp32 and charging modules to the battery

3: dream up a website you want to share with people close to you

4: create a housing for your little server

finally: carry it around and wait for people to connect to it

love to all the participants!

(again on the offchance someone has reach off this instance, pls boost/repost if you do)
I am a trans woman going through tough times - severe depression has had me unemployed for a while now and it's come to the point where I'm really struggling financially. so yeah. I continue to be broke as I go through the process to recieve universal credit, and slightly longer term hopefully I will get myself hired. I basically just need to hold on until the end of the month and avoid accruing debt and fees on late payments. meanwhile I am being as thrifty as I can with food, trying to find means to have decent meals cheaply... though this has largely meant Ive been running on a calorie deficit.
I don't have anything to offer except gratitute - I've recieved some help so far which I am extremely grateful for, but unfortunately I am finding myself having to keep asking. Any help I do get I intend to pay forward to someone esle in need once I am employed again. Thanks.

My day job as a grocery wench doesn't really cover my expenses and I'm incredibly housing and food insecure rn. Looking for better work but the market is fucked. Donations go a long way: https://lightcrystal.systems/support

and now this estranged mother has to work a closing shift on mothers day :'>

that soy sauce feeling /neg

the zeitgeist for western civilization is currently that the whole rotten edifice has been able to exist for so long coasting purely off entrenched power and looted wealth without having to improve or adapt at all that it's gotten to the point where the OS that effectively powers the US (Microsoft Windows) is along with the US itself engaged in a death spiral of destroying its own empire. this isn't a decision being made by anyone so much as an emergent property of a fundamentally broken system.

I'm thinking about this right now because I have to work with Windows 11 at my job and it's not even bad in a "muh freedumbs" sense or like some tech autist nitpicking about not being able to change your theme. it straight up is a non-functional OS that should not have gotten a production release and is blatantly becoming more expensive for enterprises to use because of how much downtime gets created maintaining this broken piece of shit and fixing all the bugs that have been haphazardly shipped to end users.

but the most perverse part of all is that this is absolutely not going to lead to a "year of the linux desktop", because all of these organizations are part of the exact same zeitgeist. they are all systemically incapable of change and will, along with the United States and Microsoft, destroy themselves on purpose rather than adapt. it's really quite something to be watching an actual civilization collapse in motion and no one realizes yet that this is what's happening because the cascading failure effects have not become extreme enough for people to acknowledge that we have a major problem on our hands.

finally got around to using carrot greens in the broth for dinner tonight. definitely gonna be a regular thing going forward

saw an infographic that wind power now leads in new mexico for energy but upon reading the sources it looks like thats only a marginal lead above natural gas and natural gas still leads in consumption meaning that the wind power is being exported to other states T-T
