switching to a browser engine developed by a literal advertising company seems like a weird protest against advertising

servo is the only one I know of

sadly folks keep being told that voting for Party 2 is somehow a vote for one of the Party 1s and that the only sensible option is to vote for the other Party 1. wonder how the situation will ever improve 😔

mournfully flipping the counter back to “0” on the “it has been X days since a turbolib said something deeply homophobic” sign

ah yes the useless proprietary headphone jack (?) microphone jack (??) displayport (???) and ethernet ports (???) … which you can only replicate with USBC with expensive adapters 🤔

thinking back to the person who I know who (consensually) sprays guests’ backs with alcohol before they’re allowed to sit on any soft furnishings in their home

also I never noticed til now how much it equates “wife” with “cattle”.

uhh thanks for further radicalizing me against the bible IG, religious fundamentalist Louisiana politicians

13 downvoters are turned-on and mad about it

with the armband as well it seems like kind of a dogwhistle

Sure, like any other wildly unethical job there’s a spectrum of different people’s privilege and ability to easily cut out to a less cartoonishly evil job – I would hold Person A with a background in cybersecurity and no dependants a lot more responsible for every day they remain a cop than Person B who joined police academy straight out of high school and is supporting 5 children etc.

But saying that Person B should be excluded from “fuck cops” – that is, that there should be an exception to the general cultural work of making it socially unacceptable to be part of a murderous, racist, unjust, reactionary paid army – is supporting the institution that you’re claiming to be against. Waiting until a complete societal transformation before campaigning for people to not take blood money (your euphemistic “consciousness price”) is valuing Person B’s economic solvency over the lives of the people they (or, being generous, just their colleagues) will harass, target, frame, and even kill.

cool can you point me at the repo for their server software then? and the f-droid reproducible build of their android app, or the sideloadable iOS app?

he doesn’t it’s a terrible machine learning upscale. which is a weird choice because The Matrix is available in high resolution so whoever upscaled it could have just pulled a better still

quit your planet-destroying job

“the problem is the institution, not the people actively participating in the institution in exchange for money and power” what

this cold war propaganda belongs in a museum

Allowing the scooters to be left on the ground is completely down to (lack of) regulation in the municipalities. the same scooter company in the same country in:

• city A: completely banned
• city B: allows scooters to be “parked” (read: abandoned) in any public space
• city C: requires scooters to be parked in designated, painted bays, out of the way of bike lanes and street crossings

In city C people get fined up the ass for parking anywhere else (you have to take a photo of it parked to end the trip) and you basically never see a stopped scooter outside an official bay.

Anywhere you see parked scooters inconveniencing people (Berlin is so bad locals have started hanging them from streetlights), the local politicians made terrible choices.
