one of the great things about capitalism is how it incentivizes people to do good decisions and not make bad decisions and thats why WaPo staff who didn't make the decision are gonna get slammed and Bezos is richer than when this started and wait no I forget where I was going with this



*POSTING WITH EXPLICIT PERMISSION FROM EMAD* This is the email Emad received asking for his official government-provided ID. (I wonder how this would work if he did not have a UK ID - does Bluesky recognize Palestinian Authority documents as valid...?) πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ gofund.me/a216f8d8



Also if you are going to, or have already, cancelled your WaPo subscription, please do consider finding some other publication that aligns with your values and subscribing to them


for folks cancelling their WaPo subscriptions, I get it, but consider also cancelling your Amazon Prime membership or deciding to buy things later this year from another retailer

the convenience is a hell of a drug

On the rare occasion I go back it's suffered the Facebook effect of being cluttered with so much weird junk, ads, and crappy knockoffs ....

in reply to Krupo

Yup, I prefer AliExpress. It suffers from the same clutter of junk and knockoffs, but at least it doesn't pretend it doesn't (and there seems to be more diamonds in that particular rough). I don't expect Jack Ma to be much better than Bezos, but, if he is attempting to influence the US election, he's doing a much better job of hiding it. Also, last I heard, he isn't building enormous flying penises to compete with his grotesquely rich frenemies.

πŸš€Cybercirujas CΓ©lula Zona Oeste en el Pyday Hurligham 2024

Este sΓ‘bado 26 de octubre participaremos con un stand de difusiΓ³n de la misiΓ³n Cyberciruja contra la obsolescencia programada, una charla sobre Ventilastation, la consola de juegos Argentina, hecha con un ventilador y recibiendo donaciones de notebooks, netbooks, tablets, celus, placas bases y memorias ram para reparaciΓ³n-recirculaciΓ³n.

El PyDay es un encuentro con charlas y actividades relacionadas con el lenguaje de programaciΓ³n Python y tecnologΓ­as afines, que tiene lugar de forma federal a lo largo del paΓ­s desde hace mΓ‘s de 15 aΓ±os.

ΒΏTe preguntaras quΓ© es o son lxs cybercirujas?

Lxs cybercirujas son personas autoorganizadas alrededor de la lucha contra la obsolescencia programada tanto en hardware como en software recuperando, reparando y recirculando. Desfetichizar nuestro vΓ­nculo con la tecnologΓ­a y desprogramar el consumismo digitalizado, comunizando los saberes informΓ‘ticos y otros debates tecnopolΓ­ticos se encuentran en las cosillas que se proponen lxs cybercirujas.

Estas comunidades-cΓ©lulas e individualidades se encuentran un gran baraje pintoresca de militantes del software libre, hackers, tecnicxs, makers, ecologistas, artistas, docentes, desarrolladores, entusiastas y curiosxs de la tecnologΓ­a que se encuentra dispersa por toda la regiΓ³n argentina. Hay cΓ©lulas en Posadas, Cordoba, Santa Fe, Caba o la Plata para dar unos ejemplos.

Si te interesan estos temas-debates informΓ‘ticos u otros afines, acΓ©rcate al stand cyberciruja en el Pyday Hurligham 2024, te esperamos.

my wife googled β€œunited airlines customer service” the other day and the AI summary seemed legit enough so she called the number that it listed. she got like 30 seconds into the call before they were asking for her BANK INFO. a scammer had gotten their number prominent enough that the AI grabbed it.

Worth it. Doesn't fully work with Wallpaper Engine, but there was a Git that was able to make it mostly function. And yes, it games at 120hz. Even if the boot drive is a USB NVME mount. #Linux #Manjaro #Arch #KDE


I hope Substack guy writes this because I'm really curious about his Bluesky "mob rule" complaint.



So... Endeavour OS... Yeah, sorry, but the fact I'd have to compile my own Bluetooth/WiFi drivers and Discover was missing in the KDE Plasma install... that is going to be pass for me. I just don't think Arch is for me. Giving Fedora a try, who somehow had BT working? #Linux #Arch

ManifestaciΓ³n "Canarias tiene un lΓ­mite"
Sun 1:00 PM - 1:45 PM
Madrid

Este domingo 20 de octubre, varios colectivos han vuelto a convocar manifestaciones bajo el lema Β«Canarias tiene un lΓ­miteΒ» en Canarias, la penΓ­nsula y el extranjero.

En Madrid la cita es a las 13h en Γ“pera



Whoever suggested Endeavour OS... Granted, I'm trying to handle my partition stuff manually, so my home folders are in their own partition... But holy hell, if this is the slimmed-down Arch experience, you morons can continue to hate yourselves. This sucks. #Linux #Arch #EndeavourOS
