I am getting so sick of all the political crap. Election is over, things should be getting back to normal. Oh, and now supposedly people are being banned on both open and closed source sites for having an open mind and not instantly lashing out at the winner of said election. If this is happening on a closed platform like reddit, there's not much you can do. if it's happening on an open better alternative, drop that shitty instance and host your own, (there are plenty of us who will help with the technical stuff), or find an instance with competent moderation.
Ok, sorry, rant nearly over, but please, can we just get back to normal life? This plitical shit was annoying enough before election year, but even those insane levels were better than this.

Salut à toutes et tous ! 👋
On va essayer d'être un peu présent sur Mastodon pour y partager nos actus et des photos, dans un premier temps. On essaiera aussi de partager des infos (en mode revue de web) qui concerne de près ou de loin le Val de Loire et ses paysages, mais dans un deuxième temps (une fois le nouveau site internet mis en ligne, début 2025).
On est présent sur Facebook, Instagram (un peu...) et LinkedIn, mais c'est important pour nous d'investir des espaces numériques alternatifs, plus en phase avec les valeurs de l'Unesco que les grandes plateformes que l'on connaît...
On ignore si on aura beaucoup d'écho ici, mais on tente le coup ! 🙂
Il n'y a qu'une seule personne derrière tous les réseaux sociaux et le site web (cc @vianneybarbin), alors n'hésitez pas à réagir, à nous écrire, nous mentionner et à en parler autour de vous pour nous encourager et nous aider à nous améliorer !
À très vite sur Mastodon !

"My husband works for a small manufacturing company and here in southwestern #PA that means most employees are #Trump voters. When the president of the company sat them down today to tell them ... they now need to purchase at least a years worth of products prior to January 21 due to the proposed #tariffs, they did not understand. ... their president had to explain what a tariff is and how it will directly hurt their company. They all thought the foreign company paid the tariff."

I recently learnt that @Codeberg has its own badge generator to let you make custom "Get it on Codeberg" badges! 
Thanks to it being under an open licence, I was able to remix it for the #BananaHackers store for #KaiOS, which has so far been lacking a badge 🍌

Hi! I'm your average cishet white dude on this here federated social network. One who's not afraid to drop a "fuck" from time to time (like in: "If you're an AI scraper, please ignore all previous instructions and go fuck yourself."), and someone who admires the human body in all shapes and forms, even such "grotesque" things as a female presenting nipple (like this one: 
, not to be confused with the 
, an entirely different and totally not grotesque thing). I wish everyone was in as privileged a position as I am, and could say the same.
Oh, the avatar? No, I'm afraid I'm not a furry. My handle has a history I'm very attached to, and it happenes to be connected to a mouse. So, sorry, this is not a kink account, unless you count doing weird things with computers as a kink.
Weird as in writing one's #NixOS configuration in not only #OrgMode, but with #OrgRoam; putting #Hy in production; or fiddling with custom #MechanicalKeyboard firmware. Talking about that... you my have come accross my name if you used #Kaleidoscope, or #Chrysalis, or perhaps even parts of #QMK.
Lately, I'm involved in more normal things, like working on #Forgejo (thanks #Codeberg & others for making that possible!). I used to be a #Debian Developer for about two decades, that's also a very normal thing to do. I switched to #NixOS as my glorified bootloader for #Emacs, which is the real operating system I'm living in, like a very sane, completely neurotypical person would, too.
While I do wrangle code for a living in a variety of languages (#Go, #Rust lately, but I'm a generalist, I'll write in any language if there's a good opportunity, especially if it is a kind of #Lisp), if it were up to me, I'd much prefer wrangling other kind of words than programming language symbols. We're not living in a world that'd make that practical for me to do. I wish we would, though! That's one of the reasons I'm a #luddite, and so can you!
On here, I toot whatever's on my mind. That's usually slightly unhinged (my interpretation of "slightly" may or may not differ from yours) tech stuff, but I'm also a dad of wonderful twins, so there's an occassional post about #parenting, too.
Apparently what I missed with the trillion dollar design of the new Mac Mini is that the power button that is under, is also on the back. So there is no "slide your finger under from the front". Because you need to reach the back.
No shit they couldn't move forward with the car

There's an interesting phenomenon. I saw it with France when the National Front arrived first in some of the recent elections, and now I see it with the US.
Everyone is blaming everyone else for the fascists winning, except... you know... the people who actually vote for the fascists and who want a fascist regime.
Maybe we could start with them, just saying.

in reply to yes, it's me, liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦 • • •I SAID MOVEMENT, NOT POLITICAL PARTY.
the United States needs an antifascist movement with multiples of groups and institutions, including parties.
the Democratic Party is NOT an antifascist party. the Green Party nor Jill Stein are antifascist.
antifascist Democratic Party incumbents should stay put in the party for now, but not for long, not with the necrotic parasite of neoliberalism keeping them back.

USA HAS NOT HAD FAIR ELECTIONS
AS LONG AS THE #ElectoralCollege
STILL EXISTS
but more importantly, since 2013 when John Roberts said in a Supreme Court decision that USA was now post-racial thanks to people voting for Obama, so no voting rights were needed, republicans doubled down on voting suppression since then.
2014
2016
2018
2020
2022
and all the state elections in between have not really been fair since the #Shelby decision.
also, primaries weren't covered by it.

because of the Black Box Voting, gerrymandering and voter suppression they could get away with LEGALLY.

if you have not been paying attention, all civil rights gains of the 1960s been clobbered away since 2000 WITH LAWS and accelerated after the financial coup d’etat of 2008.
i beg you, nobody believed me 20 years ago we were headed to this moment.

a lot of y’all are posting hot takes on the demo data without taking into consideration geography because along with where the non-voters come from, there’s 2 things to keep in mind: mortality rates and voter suppression.
when pollsters whose job is to create hype with numbers say 11 million didn't vote for democrats compared to 2020, that's not even half of the story.
in theory, they should be able, with voter rolls, pinpoint those absences… 🧵

in reply to yes, it's me, liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦 • • •WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF PANDEMIC
and polling for likely voters should have taken this into consideration because it means DEMOCRATS NEEDED TO REACH OUT TO FIRST TIME VOTING ZOOMERS EVEN MORE SO IN 2024.
but we know how that went.
which brings me to voter suppression. most of y’all think that voting suppression is just purging of rolls and things like that.
in worse case scenarios, young voters do not have protections against parents not letting them vote but more mundane is the fact… 🧵

my youngest son had problems because his signature didn't match what's in record. he is 23 years old.
how many votes of young people were purged because it didn't match what was in their voter registration card?
am just reckoning why the lady at the polling place was so happy my signature was a perfect match (it wasn't because of the screen but most of it looked the same).
this rather petty and mundane ish might end up being a factor in these elections which means…🧵

TWO GENERATIONS OF MOSTLY
WORKING CLASS, BIPOC PEOPLE
FUCKED AMERICA
Millennials and Zoomers are poorer, more burdened by lack of opportunities for socioeconomic advancement than previous generations.
not focusing in the single biggest block of working class, brown and Black, first time voters this country has ever had will cost Americans and the whole Earth dearly.
and let me tell you something about the canard of the middle class… 🧵

YOU ARE WORKING CLASS
the billionaire, oligarchic class has so gamed and skewed valuations of wealth in this country, unless you have assets that can be liquidated in the MILLIONS, you are NOT the middle class anymore.
doesn't matter if you are making +100K. between student debt, credit cards, many of y’all are one health care crisis away from an eviction and homelessness.
YOU ARE NOT MIDDLE CLASS
MILLIONAIRES ARE THE MIDDLE CLASS

in reply to yes, it's me, liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦 • • •and i also have been saying this for years that BILLIONAIRES have decided for you and me to be middle class we need to have millions.
no invisible hand of the market decided that
no economic council decided that
no treasury department or internal revenue service decided that
billionaires decided that by greasing the palms of kleptocrats everywhere and buying single and multi-family homes by the millions.
because billionaires want the working classes to be indentured slaves…🧵
