Loving the reshares and words of support but sadly it'd be nice to make progress on our fundraiser sooner rather than later so we can de-stress. Lately I've got the tiny human 50/50 after the courts threw out my counterparts false claims now THREE times. I've been facing a ton of online and in-person harassment from my ex's mob of vigilantes, cops & courts have had to be involved and the legal situation is rather active. $125 / $2000 Casapp/venmo/paypal $nullagent

Currently looking for a new employment (remote and EU only), thought to try to get #fedihired as well. CV: https://ftrv.se/_/cv.pdf
Most of my ~20 year experience I dealt with either very low-level kernel/user-level (often embedded) C+asm or distributed backend (Go, Erlang, Java).
I would love to prioritize the former and not opposed to learning something new at this point.
A bunch of code: https://git.sr.ht/~ft/

These two images are the entire story of open source software support in this world, in a nutshell. Exhibit one is the list of companies who are sponsoring the Linux Foundation, a murderer's row of the largest and most powerful hosting and services companies in the world. Exhibit two is one dude scrambling to keep the lights on after a raid failure because KTLO for the servers that everyone uses to _download Linux_ are "outside the scope" of the Linux Foundation's "main duties".
ok i switched icon themes from Material Solarized Suru to Commonality and it's both chunky and cute, goes very hard :3

Hot take: looking for a single silver-bullet Discord replacement is solving the wrong problem. Corporate power has pushed us towards everything-apps, but it's OK for the tool you use to communicate with other users of an open source project to look different from the tool you use to text your spouse and the tool you use to run voice chats with your gaming guilds.
so, it reduces the immediacy of seeing and editing the schedule via the API directly but i think im gonna not implement the cron module in dollctl cause you can just do the same stuff with a service... less is more?
so i have confirmed that clothespins + a steamy bathroom works well for refreshing knife pleats; the moar u know

#quartzgun's projects will have to be slightly updated to build with v0.6 and higher ><
rateLimiter and middleware packages received a breaking update in v0.6.0, as I standardized the RateLimiter interface (along with of course fixing the implementations).

Most Americans don't realize exactly how wrapped up in the war machine their lives are. Have a 401k? What do you think is creating those returns? Fossil fuels, prisons, defense contractors, weapons, surveillance software. Oh you divested from those? Well your bank didn't. The major tech platforms you use are data brokers selling location information on immigrants and dissidents, funding surveillance marketed as "smart cities", and vying for DoD contracts. Capitalism means complicity.

another example closer to the spirit of the original conversation might be the leftist who is too preoccupied with general horror and living paycheck to paycheck to give themselves the space to grasp in fine detail what is actually going on. and that's fine, i've done the research and i can give them a personal lesson if they're interested (and i do regularly in third spaces i haunt). if they grasp it and step up, i'm glad; if not, then yeah unfortunately history will trample them one way or the other (re: i care more about being loud than being understood at this point)

also, i'm just leaning on a common example in the wild of "anarchists" using big tech platforms for their organizational work and data storage, not at all saying that being liberated from mainstream social media is some kind of anarchist dogwhistle (if i can use that term in a neutral sense?)
i suppose to clarify a point from an earlier conversation that might have been confusing or seemded contradictory (ie, understanding vs knowledge): most Americans are aware that there is rot in our society; many are even aware of the twisted history of this place; but few even dare to consider that there has been and continues to be a nexus of pure evil that drives this history forward with all its might. even many of those who are aware of it, do not have a full or even realistic picture of what it is, how it propagates and maintains power, and how to fight it. does this mean, as an example, the baby anarchist you meet on the street but is still stuck to Meta platforms is a bigot? fuck no; it means they still have a lot to learn; knowing who your enemy is is only the first step; effectively fighting this spiritual battle is a life-long practice

@are0h nowhere in that conversation did i say "nah there isn't systemic hatred and oppression", i literally said your average streetwalkers are 1) indoctrinated into believing evil, often by other names, is on some level necessary, and 2) more complicated than you make them out to be; and here you go making a caricature out of _me_ and putting words in my mouth? i was just trying to have a conversation and you just haaad to have the last word, and then do something like this? not everyone is going to take the same hardline position as you; i should know, i'm often in that position myself. but it doesn't give you a free pass to just be confrontational and make these kinds of accusations about people's character just because they don't 100% agree with you

@are0h @tychi it's delusion that people aren't one-dimensional? i'm often the first to argue for a systemic explanation in general, we don't disagree there; but i never said people are unaware, just that they're more complicated than what you're painting them to be, especially when it comes to the existence and nature of evil

@are0h @tychi some understand, many don't. part of the narrative being played out is evil hiding in plain sight, to the point it's absolved by being labelled as things that are less overtly insidious; and many people _do_ believe this. in any case, what i'm referring to in both cases are the people we are in direct contact with in day-to-day, as this is where our primary influence lies

@are0h i think what @tychi is getting at is more that the "normal" person doesn't even understand the depths of depravity and darkness that have gotten to the heart of our society. i tend to agree with you Ro, that rehabilitating the masses shouldn't be our concern, so much as just building our communities and trying to thrive in this space parallel to the mainstream; be loud - be heard - but not necessarily worry about being understood, cause if we're too concerned with the everyday person then we go too slow and we lose our chance to make it real; if people don't get it yet, at this point they're digging their own grave more or less literally

plodding along with #dollctl data management API is done; it supports nested datasets, snapshots, and streaming; can create/delete directly and import/export. ZFS driver for now, will add btrfs and maybe fossil later now building the web UI for this module
