@witchescauldron We are taught about charity instead of mutual aid.

In charity, we give with a disparity of power. As we give, we humiliate the recipient and we set ourselves up as saints.

In mutual aid, we are a community helping ourselves with dignity. We are equal. We help out of mutual responsibility.

Most social tech projects are set as charities; mostly because mutual aid is poorly known and understand

"Існуючі полімераза-специфічні Т-клітини призводять до абортивного серонегативного SARS-CoV-2"

Суть: антитіла не повинні бути єдиним показником імунітету, оскільки деякі люди мають імунітет без антитіл (і можуть ніколи не отримати їх до COVID) через наявність перехресних захисних Т-клітин від інших коронавірусних інфекцій.

Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries. - Anne Herbert

If you think that every interaction, relationship, and motive for doing some is transactional and economic in nature, I'm sorry, but the Capitalism worms have eaten your brain.

i'll never understand what issue people have with code generation if the code is properly formatted. no runtime magic to debug. it's all there to read, which is a damn nice feature imho.

Right. UK. People are going to be sacked if they don’t comply with full Covid vaccination. I am warning people now: First it was mandates for staff in social care. Then frontline NHS staff. I predict next it will be all NHS workers. Then all citizens. Then physical restrictions for those who don’t comply - the beginning of second class citizenship (already started). Then fines for those who don’t comply (see Austria) and prison for those who don’t or can’t pay them. Then further loss of rights (access to healthcare, other jobs, benefits). Then mandates for the flu vaccine. Then mandates for something else pharmaceutical companies want to push on the population, a market of millions. The heat is being turned up bit by bit but the water is getting hotter. Even if you agree with the Covid vaccine mandate, next time you might have doubts about the medical intervention being mandated. Or you might get a frightening reaction to the 7th, 8th, 9th Covid booster and eventually want to stop or at least have a break but now it’s you who can’t get an exemption.

There are HUGE profits to be made from millions of captive consumers who must submit to an irreversible medical intervention by law for the first time in our history. Do we really think nobody would work towards that financial golden goose? It is a terrible precedent. Respect for the physical bodily boundary is a fundamental principle of medical ethics. It is a precious protection from the medical profession being allowed or instructed by others to do things to your body that you don’t want. We throw this principle away at our peril. We shouldn’t be throwing this right and protection away. Not for this disease. Not for any disease. We will not get it back easily. We are at a frightening fork in the road.

how i hate people who can't shut up about it their "thing". do your thing and be quiet about it like some master of a trade just doing his profession, knowing he learns every day but never tries to over-sell his craft.

it's what makes e.g. openbsd look shitty to me, the people boasting all the time about it. openbsd is isn't shitty, but i very much don't like this type of people. the same goes for rust. probably nice ideas in it, but by dijkstra, the rust evangelism strike force is real.

The only way to fire the 1% effectively is to become a job creator rather than a job consumer. Civilization will thank you.

Back from the road.
Everything went well.
It costed about 15 bucks of gas and I'm on the reserve but I could only add 5 bucks.
Picture related, Gazole is at 1.627 the liter.
0.26417205 gallons cost 1.627 euros or 1,81USD.
If you wonder what's the 0.749, that's ethanol, which almost nobody uses here.

But you know, people who are always on the gas reserve and can add five buck can get a loan of 15K and buy an electric car.

"Zahlreiche Deutsche sahen die Todesmärsche, sahen die Gräueltaten und das Morden der SS und viele machten mit."

Ich bin im Gedenken und in der Trauer um die namenlose historische Entgleisung des Nationalsozialismus aufgewachsen und lebe darin bis heute. Doch inzwischen nennen wir auch spazieren gehende Gegner der C-Maßnahmen bekenntnishaft Nazis. Muss uns das nicht als Verharmlosung der Gräuel des Nationalsozialismus aufstoßen?
