New idea: communist casinos. When you leave if you win you have to split everything you won with all the people who loose.

I still have my copy of "Project Oberon: Design of an Operating System and Compiler" by Niklaus Wirth and Jürg Gutknecht.

The book is more than a tribute to Wirth and a manifesto of his life and work. It's also a fine piece of system design documentation and technical writing.

@freemo @freeschool sure, makes sense!

i already like the current featureset, pinning other timelines is very cool. the colored follow icons are also very handy!

thanks for putting in the work and money :)

Liebe Grüne, regt euch nicht auf wegen #Habeck und seiner #Fähre.

Das waren Leute die auch mal Klimakleber spielen wollten. Findet ihr doch immer so super wenn Leute blockiert werden....

Dab in motion.

Feature Request: Everybody of a certain age limit knows and loves the sound and visuals of a degaussing CRT screen.

There should be a button in the far right corner of the task bar, near the clock, that makes that screen wave and makes that mmrrooiimmph sound over the speaker.

It should be a de facto standard for all desktops, even if they don't have a task bar.

Only then will Linux be ready for the desktop.

communists will buy into the labor theory of value as an accurate economic principle, and then complain that "the system" is broken because it doesn't follow the theory.

Q. List of server instances blocking QOTO? 

@freemo @freeschool sure it might be wildly incorrect, yes. the servers i checked in the past were mostly correct though.

i think that the trend of not displaying which servers are blocked is more damaging with regard to the sociological l aspect of a federated network than a tool displaying wrong data might be.

in the end it's just tiresome.

Q. List of server instances blocking QOTO? 

@freeschool @freemo you can look up known block announces here fba.ryona.agency/?domain=qoto.

most seem to block because they don't like free speech, even if it's polite like on qoto. or because we federate with "bad people".

Remember this incident?

“Grand jury declines to file charges against man who killed robber at SW Houston taqueria”

Perhaps premature to announce publicly, but here's a preview for shtf.wiki which is where I'll be posting generalized versions of my emergency SOPs.

Content will be oriented towards sensible people who want to have reasonable preparedness for both severe and common emergencies.

I don't have the time to make 900 YouTube videos to share information, and you don't have the time to watch them.

In a few weeks I may reach out to some of you if you'd like to contribute: all will be open source.
