I’ve said for a long time the greatest threat to the US is white Americans and they proved that yet again by coming out in force for a charlatan that repeats the lies they want to hear.

Personally, I don’t feel much about it because my existence has always been an uphill struggle. Hell, if you’ve been following me for awhile, you know how contentious the environment has been on the fedi and my fight to push this place past its racist inclinations.

I get how people feel pretty down at the moment. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself.

But as a person that has been fighting for a long time, don’t dwell in the despair. Don’t let the doom consume you. This is just a moment in time and it will pass.

And it’s a great opportunity to decouple your idea of progress from the state that has proven time and time again it does not give a fuck about your wellbeing.

Now is the time for ideas. Now is the time to create.

We are far from helpless.

One of the main reasons I do what I do is because I envision a world where our communities are so well organized and connected that it doesn’t matter what politicians do because we have us.

I’ve worked under this premise for years and it has led me to a purpose that has sustained me through all of the hate and dehumanization people have constantly thrown at me in my years on the fedi.

I gave up on the state being a catalyst for progressive societal change a long time ago. Yesterday was just another confirmation that the US is dedicated to its own destruction and decline and is determined to bring us all down with it.

Our job is to refuse to die with the empire. Our shared goal is to disconnect from it and let it kill itself.



Oooh. Figured AMD would still hold the crown after the new desktop Core Ultra SKUs are barely beating and sometimes doing worse than the 14900K, really no shocks or surprises on this and gives weight to Intel worries, although AMD is perhaps not immune from the bloated complexity of the aging X86 instruction set either in a similar fashion.

@nick yeah it's interesting that even as far as Geekbench Intel got a 3000-point higher score on the 285K. I would suspect that potentially on workload both are probably neck and neck, and thermals can influence benchmark results by slight margins too.
Gamers Nexus did a huge 38-minute segmented video, "RIP Intel: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU Review & Benchmarks vs. 7800X3D, 285K, 14900K, & More": youtube.com/watch?v=s-lFgbzU3L….

I haven't had a chance to watch that, thanks. ANd yeah, that's one thing I thought to myself even after seeing the Verge article, I'd buy the CPU that isn't the toaster.

Thank you Mastodon and the Fediverse for being an example of communicating without billionaires and US venture capitalists calling the shots. We're going to need more of this.


People like being cynical because it hurts less. But cynical people don’t effect change. So the tradeoff is pain.

so when we we think all of the anti trust suits get dropped for big tech companies?

I say February

in reply to chosa

I wouldn't be so sure, for all Trump's faults, which he obviously has plenty of, J. D. Vance was pretty clear that he's mostly anti-big-tech and wants antitrust actions to continue. He's likely to be a lot friendlier to smaller companies though, but I think that's a good thing on net.


Just utterly horrified a colleague by showing them the unplugged flash drive in my hand, whilst sharing a Slideshow from it on screen.
removing the drive in use seems to have really irritated them, despite the fact that writing to unencrypted drives is forbidden by our systems anyway and the file I wanted was happily sat in RAM.


This is the most unhinged thing I’ll see today.

California voted to keep slavery in their prisons. In 2024. This happened.

Canadian legal information database sues company behind AI chatbot

The Canadian Legal Information Institute (CanLII) has taken the makers of an AI chatbot to court over what it says are a violation of its terms of service, due to the chatbot scraping CanLII's database in bulk. #press

If children's story books had to pass accessibility testing, so many of them would fail basic colour contrast tests. All should be tested by being read in a dark, dimly lit room. Stop putting black text on dark blue, ffs.

Wenn ich den Verlauf von Mails anzeigen lassen möchte, also alle in einem Verlauf, dann möchte zumindest ich die neueste ganz oben haben und nicht ganz unten!
Aber auch hier gilt wie fast immer, ihr gebt den Leuten keine Möglichkeit das in den Einstellungen anzupassen…
Und die Aktualisierung der Android App hat mal eben einen Teil meiner Einstellungen überschrieben.
Das ist übergriffig! Ein absolutes "No Go"!!

Wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Feedback. Wir werden es an die Entwickler weitergeben.


I love you all, and I'm so sorry. This is a deep blow, and now we all have to live in the anxiety of all the what ifs. This is a time for unity among us, not to play blame games on other people who also didn't want this outcome. You all mean a lot to me, and we will need each other more than ever in the coming months and years. A virtual hug to you all, you're important and you matter.


Everyone processes grief differently.

One of the reasons people break up and families fall apart during times of grief is because the stages of their processing and healing don't line up. All of us need different things to heal, and none if us will be healed in one day.

So let people rant online if it helps them, let them make jokes or make light of the situation, let them cry and feel despair. All of those feelings are correct and "normal" right now. Go ahead and feel your feelings however you need to.

And thus, my friends, the $44 billion for Twitter weren’t lost at all but rather invested into bringing United States’ wannabe-dictator back into power. Now that this goal has been accomplished, Elon can expect to be richly rewarded.

Oh, you are still on Xitter? Driving a Tesla? I hope you are happy with what you’ve helped achieve.

(A number of other US tech billionaires are guilty as well, but that’s the one who didn’t even make it a secret that he is there for fascism.)

Be careful about what you say and do and how you look.

Never trust anyone who says they agreed with you but just couldn't vote for Harris.



Super excited that eggnog season is back, yay, that means my favorite part of the year has arrived, if I can resist from over-indulging in it Locally here our Walmart had it as well as Albertsons


If you were eligible to vote and did not vote in this election, I have to ask: why? And, was it worth it?

I'm genuinely asking those questions.

Please be careful before you start shifting blame of the election results.

How does one de-radicalize people, dissuade them of conspiracy theories, break them out of cults? There must be books and research into this? Both at scale and at the individual level?


Second time this year I'm taking time offline, second time this year the world is on fire when I get back online.

Remember, France is already governed by fascists, and Canada is just an election away from this.

This all because people vote against their interests.
