#Lifehack: buy Linux-compatible equipment, even if you are not running #linux, because
1. The device adheres to open standards without tricks or drivers. It is portable. This is the gold standard for plug-and-play.
2. If a driver is conceptually necessary, see if a linux version exists. If yes,
it means that someone loved the device enough to do the work for free.
Follow the love, my friend.
@glightly I used to think abortion was wrong, til my wife's friend stayed over after getting a late flight back to Ireland from England after having to travel to get an abortion.
Now, I'm every person who can get pregnant should be able to choose to not be pregnant
Inspired by Cyberpunk 2077, which I finally finished, here's a wee piece of music I composed.

Big tech now arguing that the platforms they’ve built can’t be held accountable for e.g. racism, as racism has been around for all of human history. Well yes, you know what else has? Nipples. Interesting how easy those were to ban, but racism? “Content moderation is just *so* hard!”
Get the fuck out of here.
I always add AltText to my photos and I try to write descriptions longer than "dog sitting on a log". It takes some effort, but it's good for you, because otherwise it would be so easy to incessantly post pictures of our dogs, #IdąPsięta
I’ve spent much of this year examining car bloat, the process through which smaller vehicles are being replaced by increasingly massive SUVs and trucks.
What I’ve learned: Huge cars are terrible for society, often in ways that are hidden.
Some basic facts:
◆ >80% of US car sales are now trucks/SUVs.
◆ Models keep expanding. For example, the F-150 is now ~800 lbs heavier and 7 inches taller than in 1991.
◆ EVs can make the problem worse due to huge batteries.

WaPo is using masturbatory numbers as clickbait – @Popehat has been trying, for years, to make it clear that white-collar criminals, like Trump, usually get much less than the maximum statutory sentence for their crimes, but apparently to no avail. We won't need all the champagne bottles we've been hoarding for this occasion. Also, Popehat's writing is great, but if you're not really interested in how the US legal system works, please treat this toot as clickbait and ignore the link https://popehat.substack.com/p/beware-the-flood-of-trump-sentencing
@onthisday Perfect opportunity to rember the simultaneously best and worst job description caption the news has ever used.

I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
