  • This is a clown timeline, absolutely maddening to see the world fall into the hands of fascists so quickly. I was so active this election cycle, more than ever, and I had prayed to a god I don’t even believe in, but alas the US has chosen its’ path, and that path is one history will remember.


  • Honestly it’s going to be hard to decide what specific bullshit thought processes they’ll use to decide this, but I’ve started by collecting a lot of LGBT literature and hella gay stuff. It will be hard for them to control this in the “information age” we are in, but if they go crazy enough to do a great firewall of china type situation then it will be a completely different story.





  • Currently using a Moto G Stylus 2020, this thing has never had major updates pushed, and the last security one was a while ago, it’s pretty decent but has gotten much slower over time and is probably near the end of its life.

    The best phone I had was an iphone 7, it was originally terrible, but the it was iOS 12? (13?) that came out and it was so much better. Like you would have major performance issues with this thing before the update, Apple was probably at their peak around then. I stopped using it because it was vendor locked to Sprint, and sprint stopped existing in my area when T Mobile bought them out







  • There’s a huge problem with OSS projects being toxic to newcomers, already existing maintainers get annoyed when they have to explain the peculiarities of their codebase they believe should be simple to understand (it’s not). I’ve personally stayed away from contributing in the meantime because I have more often than not “asked the wrong question” or have had genuine ones responded with “read the code” or “rtfm”. I understand that some stuff is definitely simple to grasp just by looking at it, but I wouldn’t be asking if I did, right? The projects that will survive will have good communities and good CoC’s, there’s definitely outliers in that, the biggest being the Linux Kernel itself, though the problems have been reduced quite a bit in recent years.
