Henrique Alvim Correa - War Of The Worlds Illustrations, 1906

I wash my hands with green apple soap before taking a sip of my sour apple energy drink. Matt Damon shoves a piece of paper against the window. Yells "HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?" I tell him I like them fine. He seems content. Once again Matt Damon has been placated. Our children will see another sunrise.

There are people whose entire media or consulting job is making you hate labor action and forget the bosses who abuse workers and force them to use collective leverage. Don’t let those assholes win by diminishing your empathy. Rail workers deserve better. You deserve better in the workplace too. We are on the same side.

Seems most people have suggestions for #Mastodon #newbies. So here's one of mine, esp for those who want to grow engagement. Try to spend a little time to look--deliberately 👀LOOK👀 --for posts not getting much (if any) response. It's something that always bothered me "there," and certainly bothers me no less here, to see folks putting up heartfelt, sometimes heartWRENCHING posts that nobody answers. Sometimes just knowing you're seen and heard can make a big difference. End of TED talk...

@stephstephking @wordswithnima I prefer reading paper too, but here's a neat thing I found out recently: most web pages can be saved to "Pocket" and then those can be opened on a Kobo reader. It's made it possible to read long web stories cuddled up with my cat on the couch. (Bonus: Kobo works with the Canadian library system and Overdrive.)

If you search for "emacs" on google, it asks you "Are you looking for vi?". And guess what it asks you if you search for "vi".

"Generally, I don’t think rich people believe anything besides: 1. they are basically good; 2. they deserve their money and no one should take it; and 3. anything that threatens ideas 1. and 2. is bad. Everything else is pretty flexible."

I asked the AI for "Lightning McQueen: Fury Road" 10/10 no notes.

Elon Musk appears to have out-sourced decisions about who to ban from Twitter to the platform’s right-wing extremists https://theintercept.com/2022/11/29/elon-musk-twitter-andy-ngo-antifascist/

This last week, at the request of right-wing extremists and in response to platform manipulation, Twitter has banned the accounts of @chadloder, @VPS_Reports, @CrimethInc, and @efjbgc.

This article, written by me and @robertmackey, quotes heavily from Mastodon, and embeds a Mastodon post

Bunch of NFT spam in my replies this morning. Good time to remind everyone that there are a very small number of my San Diego Comic Con exclusive pins still available at http://NFT.bs

It's not enough for individuals to "choose" to mask and vaccinate.

A community health problem like high rates of RSV/flu/Covid requires a community response.

A community response mandated by the government responsible for healthcare.

Not sure who still needs to hear this, but if your business is making record profits and your employees are on strike for reasonable and humane compensation and benefits, then if one party needs to be forced to make concessions for the “good of the country” it isn’t the workers that should have to do that. And if you’re mismanaging something so vital that the nation can’t afford the interruption, maybe you’re so vital you should be nationalized? #Unions #RailStrike #LateStageCapitalism

If you did this particular Nmap scan and got these results back, what conversation would you be having with your IT team? There are major problems here whether or not it's an internal or external scan. #cybersecurity #infosec #nmap

I just explained to the EU #OpenSource Workshop why the "open" in open source and open #standards mean different things. The first indicates the work product is freely usable. The second indicates the standardisation process is accessible on equal terms by all.
