I feel attacked

A new weekend arrived, it is time for the report from my #opensource projects. Changed things: a roguelike game, a static code analyzer, GUI library (all in #Nim) plus restarted work on system cleaner for FreeBSD. More info: www.laeran.pl.eu.org/blog/devblog... Happy weekend, everyone. 😀

It's not just that power users here generate a ton of free content, keeping Bluesky humming. Even despite past disagreements with devs, we have been EVANGELISTS bringing our audiences here and annoying much bigger accounts into doing the same. Growth here has hinged on power user goodwill.

I cannot imagine what Jesse Singal could possibly bring to this site that would be worth squandering the goodwill of the entire existing power user base

Experts like @blackamazon.bsky.social have been shouting from the rooftops that dev team needs to stop acting like social media was invented yesterday & LEARN THE LESSONS that two decades of social media have provided. Including... Listen to experts, especially those from vulnerable communities.

We are not summer babes here, we are a community of people who left Twitter (and the audiences that, for many of us, provided career opportunities and/or income streams) because we were tired of the abuse and the far right propagandists. We are not here to be guinea pigs for libertarians.

This is an actual nightmare

I am very nearly done with my "ah fuck tariffs and FEMA gutting" preparation for the Trump admin, next will be data security/privacy stuff and I am dreading it

Remember when Mace faked Antifa vandalism by... spraypainting "pass the PRO Act" on her garage

The U.S. press writes about the "deregulatory agenda" as if real people simply don't exist. Not a fleeting HINT in this article that letting billionaires dismantle labor, consumer, and environmental standards might have some downsides it's so bad it feels satirical

When they talk about killing FDIC, they are talking about making this disaster a possibility no matter where you put your money

I have no idea how our family is going to be able to afford vaccination "vacations" to Canada but it's looking like it's something we're going to have to think about planning for, now

RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:wpssp…

Let's be clear, they are determined to tear down every public safety net, from vaccines to Medicare to FDIC to social security. They are deadset on creating circumstances where even minor crises are likely to snowball uncontrollably. In ways that could well ruin even the comfortably well-off.

They want to kill the FDIC and polio vaccinations. These are the most bog standard common sense public goods imaginable, with impacts just exponentially bigger than cost. And they're trying to kill them.

The other piece at play here is, we are seeing the fruits of educating a generation and a half by teach-to-test, at the cost of teaching critical thinking skills. Folks have been taught to consume and regurgitate information, but not to evaluate it thoughtfully for factuality.

This would be bad news at any moment, but it is proving nearly or actually fatal to democracy right now, as false information proliferates across digital platforms that are 1) replacing legacy media and 2) are indifferent or actively hostile to fact.

They think about children in the sense that they think about children as livestock to be trained for foot soldier and obedient laborer duties

Kiwifarms bullies trans people to suicide. Singal needs to be gone NOW, @jay.bsky.team. He is testing you, and you are failing us.

We have always relied on the oil and gas industry to self-report methane emissions. Now we have independent ways to of measuring those emissions and it turns out they were lying about the emissions. By a lot. The blue lines are actual measurements. The pink are industry numbers.

Billionaires prepping for the apocalypse in NZ should read @pluralistic 's recent adaptation of Poe's *The Masque of the Red Death*: "It’s the story of a plute who brings his pals to his luxury bunker during civilizational collapse in the expectation of emerging once others have rebuilt. They discover that humanity has a shared microbial destiny and that you can’t shoot germs. That every catastrophe must be answered with solidarity, not selfishness, if it is to be survived."
