happy 420

when your best friends girl is really jealous that youre a cute slut but doesnt know what a lesbian is

If you're question is "Well what am I supposed to do?!?!"

Great!!!!

That is an *awesome* place to start.

If you had to start from scratch all by yourself, start with "root cause analysis" and then work backwards to a solution.

Chances are, though, you don't. Chances are someone (and many someones) are already working on it.

So the pragmatic answer right now is sort out what problem you want to fight against, and then find groups working towards that, and then join those groups, and then find a place to pitch in or lend a shoulder.

I recommend starting local and working local. Often times you can work a little bit and it scales across multiple areas.

And if you're worried about "talking to people", don't worry, there's a metric shit ton you can do without interacting with a lot of people.

I literally went out and planted food trees for about thirty minutes last weekend. I didn't talk to many people at all. And that's going to feed people. And I'm going to do it again and again as I have time. Not talking to people. Just planting food forests.

I am absolutely certain that YOU can find something that you can do while hating being around other people that still undercuts all the bullshit of those folks that want to stick THEIR NOSE into all of OUR BUSINESS.

Fuck them.

Go out and do something within YOUR capabilities and YOUR comfort zones that sticks a thorn into THEIR sides and helps out you, your family, your friends, and your neighbors.

eeeeee i should put on some music and do chores before it gets super laaaaaaate

the more i do tonight the less i have to do tomorrow ><

its official: after 3 years in corpo im back to freelancing. got a gig lined up and put in my resignation at wex. its like i can freakin breathe for the first time in a year and a half

definitely a weird week but it aint over yet. lets get WEIRDER

slab is a cheeky counter and dice roller for gamers | https://nilfm.cc/slab.html

aleph - stateless multiple choice survey engine | https://nilfm.cc/aleph.html

im doing it. im making beautiful things to put into the world that is so determined to be ugly and cruel

the tariffs really are the perfect political opportunity to push forward some radical moves in local politics. legislation supporting new & existing local worker-coops and energy & food cooperatives wouldn't just be an abstract climate issue but an immediate and sane response to national economic policy.

I'm probably going to reach out to my local city council members to float this with them. We have some real lefties right there who might be willing to bite

i am looking for freelance work; im a philosopher by training and have been working as a developer in both freelance and fte capacities for about 6 years; comfy with go, dotnet, c, js, ts, semantic html and css from scratch, angular, react, web components, shell, python, crystal... but i can hit the ground running on anything

im in the US currently but looking to move to the EU

stuff i like building/working on

• little customizable web tools (https://slab.dungeon.moe, https://aleph.dungeon.moe (this one is lewd, youve been warned) https://felt.lightcrystal.systems, https://nilfm.cc/nirvash)
• awesome minimal websites (https://nilfm.cc, https://ecotherapynm.com, https://siroonian.com)
• one of a kind desktop apps (https://nilfm.cc/taro)

Sometimes I wish there was a way I could plug something directly into my head and folks could see and feel what I think about what’s possible.

I’m often annoyed with the present because of all distractions that weight us down and don’t give us space to dream. I feel our imaginations are neutered because we are so bogged down by having to survive systems that want to keep impoverished.

I can’t exactly tell you exactly where I learned to alchemize that rage into fuel to build stuff, but it’s become a source of motivation even as we watch old decrepit systems crumble.

I so strongly FEEL a better more human centric sustainable future is within our grasp, right now if we embrace that we need to let the old world go.

That thought sits in my brain constantly, which is why I’m so relentless about pushing forward.

We’re almost there.

yes to be clear my code forge has been memlocked by aggressive AI scrapers off and on for a couple months, finally pushing me to deploy anubis this weekend. fuck them

Solid, high-quality sneer from Adactio - the end is a particular highlight:

The worst of the internet is continuously attacking the best of the internet. This is a distributed denial of service attack on the good parts of the World Wide Web.

If you’re using the products powered by these attacks, you’re part of the problem. Don’t pretend it’s cute to ask ChatGPT for something. Don’t pretend it’s somehow being technologically open-minded to continuously search for nails to hit with the latest “AI” hammers.

this is a weird live coding set

same shit different day... but not for long ^^

People in the streets is unequivocally good.

besties, the news today is awful! the anchors are saying existence is fleeting and nothing can escape change. the unpredictable universe abounds with incomprehensible mysteries, and we will not live to understand the echoing impact of our mortal deeds! besties my frail vessel struggles to contain the fraction of the universe that looks through my eyes, while the nature of the joy i do find proves ineffable. besties the newwwwws!!!

Remember kids, if you still feel intense bloodlust after having a snack and drinking water it means it's time to blast some funky music and clean the house till it goes away.

walk up to the counter at the ups store and ask a question in my best casual girlvoice, i am wearing a short skirt and have zero blemishes or stubble/shadow today...

happy trans day of visibility i guess?

Students learning to code should not use LLMs because the stuff that the LLMs are good at is the stuff you should be practicing.

Learning a language takes practice. Shortcuts deprive you of that practice.

I want to springboard off of your post, as a random person living in the US, if that is okay. This is to the international community.

There are many people here in the United States who want to take action, they do care, but they are scared of the consequences. They see all the people around them going on about their business, the siren call of normalcy bias makes wanting to go about your normal life irresistible. There are also a lot of people, myself included, who live in predominantly red (as in fascist republican) areas that believe when they start pushing back it could lead to hardship and ruin.

We are a heavily corporate controlled society that has been plied with bread and circuses for far too long. That's why it is important that we, including the international community, keep shouting from the rooftops that this is not normal.

There are answers to our fears here in the states. Efforts like mutual aid and grassroots networks of like-minded individuals. I see this happening. I'm personally working hard to get myself into a position where I can be more effective, and I try to encourage other people doing that. We don't have to attack the entire thing. We can pool our individual talents for the benefit of the wider resistance movement.

But, again, we're still learning what all this means and how to do it. Because it's not like in the movies we all grew up on, the ones that lied to us and told us we were all just embarrassed heroes, or main characters. It's very different when the production isn't being directed by Steven Spielberg.

All I ask is, please do not give up on us. You're disappointed, angered, frustrated, pissed off, etc, at the lack of the average American's response to this dive into a fascist state that America is turning in to. I get that. I share those feeling.

Just please don't give up on those of us who know this is bad but are having to learn resistance from the ground up.

Mastodon is my online echo chamber of people who give a crap about what happens to other people.

My long inaccessible FB account was my glimpse closer to reality of a world where people DGAF about other people. Endless posts about beach vacations, lunch, new purchases.

I had to leave FB because it got too much. I preferred to believe that more people were like me. But this is also an illusion.

I finally understand how concentration camps came to be and how life carried on despite it. My own sibling in the US has told me that things are "pretty normal" where he is.

I don't see how people around you getting arrested, your government literally building a concentration camp and flying people to foreign lands can be classified as "normal". But he just goes about his business.

All he cared about was paying less taxes and making money. He will soon discover the cost of 'normal' was having scientists keep track of diseases and prevent their outbreaks, educators toiling to maintain an educated workforce, air traffic controllers keeping planes from falling out of the sky.

All he ever saw were the dollars that things cost him, not the benefits, direct or indirect.

As things falls apart, he won't care until it affects him personally. It will be too late. As long as he can keep doing his work, running his business, selling his stuff... it's all "normal"

But he is a better reflection of "normal" than I am. The army of people who care here are outside the norms.

And it's the inertia of not caring that allows horrors to go on. The gatekeepers of media will make sure the population continues to care as little as possible. They will keep showing us beach photos and handbag purchases.

Distributed information sharing like Mastodon will be important in any kind of resistance efforts as the information will still be visible.

Then the next challenge is getting people who don't think any of this is important to care. You don't need everyone, but enough people. You need people who just want to get to work and do their thing to think that the lives of other people are worthy of caring about.
