Sure would be nice if people stopped threatening to blow up the building I work in.
@trinsec It’s a service that Mozilla acquired years ago to serve as bookmark management/sharing/save for later thing. Fairly useful and innocuous and plenty easy to ignore if you don’t use it. BUT, there was the potential for up selling the service and neck beards have been screaming about it ever since.
Man. Whenever I read an article that mentions Firefox, people come out of the wood work to complain about pocket or the addons button or whatever other interface tweak that happened back around version 57 or whatever and I can’t help but think these are some of the biggest babies on the internet. Just absolute fucking cry babies about the most trivial shit. We’re all gonna get stuck using Chrome/ium but good news! No more pocket button that you didn’t use! You’re doing great. Thanks for helping.

TIL that there's something called "Silicon Valley Bank" at the same moment that I learned that every assumption I would have made about something called that would have turned out to be correct.

I got an old PC rig sitting around. On the one hand, It's legit old and it probably doesn't make a ton of sense to dump money into it. On the other, it does have an Xeon X5675 in there so that machine still kinda rips, and all it would need is a CPU fan and cheap discrete graphics card to be almost good as new. Difficult choices ahead.
This song has been wearing out drummers for like 15 years at this point and still no studio version of it exists so far as I know. Love it.
@parkermolloy Also, the chatbot fell in love with me. NBD.

@lucifargundam Oh absolutely! That's why I think I might be able to get away with it without having to make a new account to do it. I'm not so committed to the bit that I want to dedicate a whole new account to it, but I do work with Very Serious Professionals who think LinkedIn is important. Hmm.
Tempted to start shitposting on LinkedIn.
Sometimes I think about the fact that years ago, I bumped into Matt Pinfield two days in a row - once at a Jane's Addiction concert, then the following day walking through Times Square. The first time was a normal social moment, bullshitting after a show. The second time, I think both of us were uncomfortably surprised. It's that second memory that I cherish.

Ahead of the release of video footage documenting the police execution of Tyre Nichols, the authorities are deploying all the standard tactics in the counter-insurgency playbook:
—Delay the release of the video
—Appeal for calm while mobilizing the same police forces that carried out the killing to be prepared to carry out more violence on a massive scale
—Permit some family members and activists to view the video in order to enlist them as spokespeople demanding a certain kind of response and delegitimizing those who do not comply
—Spread fear about an invented identity ("outside agitators," "gang members," "antifa") in order to preemptively justify violent repression
—Fire the officers involved; if necessary, initiate legal proceedings (these can always be dropped later)
All this has become standard practice. This is how they hope to suppress unrest, even in the most egregious cases of police murder.
But they have no intention of diminishing the amount of violence that police employ, nor addressing the disparities that render that violence inevitable. This is obvious because they are putting all their energy into managing the public response to police violence, not into seeking any sort of change.
If there is to be any change, it will have to come from us.
@trinsec No problems making new corpses although the savor is in the looting. 🙂 Will check it out though. Thanks!
