I make and sell DIY keyboards. even tho they're difficult to learn to type on, my dad has used a couple of my old prototypes I gave him over the past 3 years; at first with keys labeled, and then later with blanks. but this last weekend he wanted to finally build one with his own two hands, so we spent the weekend soldering and finishing the wood case with a nice lacquer. I gave him instructions but he did everything himself, and it turned out looking very good!

@cathal yeah twitter didnt want to pay black people for making them money

@anna
I thought it was because all the excellent makers-of-vines collectively demanded a slice of the income from their labour, Twitter called their bluff, so they all left?
I didn't use Vine but I always considered that an inspiring event.

@anna
No but I remember that time Twitter bought something good, couldn't figure out how to make money off of it, then shut it down.

@anna Are you sure about that? Because I saw a decent number of white people on there, as well as Hispanic people. Hell, I even saw British people in there, too.

@anna too good for this accursed world apparently

remember that time twitter actually made something good

and it was called vine

and they shut it down because too many black people used it

PSA: Stop labelling people interested in OPSEC and privacy as "paranoid". Paranoia is a mental illness, heavily influenced by fear, that makes someone believe they're under constant threat even when there is no evidence for thinking so.

Being careful about your online identity, privacy, taking care of your passwords, and using second factor authentication is not paranoia. It's common sense.

There are malicious actors who want to get their hands on as much information as possible. This is fact.

hey! i'm definitely not complaining, but you said these pills *wouldn't* make me a gooey catgirl

In 20 years I want a documentary about how far fursuits have come

optimistic girls are the best

but in all seriousness, pleroma 1.0 will be out soon. maybe a month or two.

there’s a few things left to stabilize, but overall, we feel that since 1.x is going to be an LTS-type release cycle, that we need to make sure it is as solid as possible. it won’t have all features we wanted to include, but it will be a pretty solid release cycle.

I've had a chromebook 13 from dell for about three years. I've used the stock OS for all that time in a bit of an experiment in how easy it is to exist in that sort of hacky space. Last night I finally broke down and flashed a custom coreboot firmware and full linux OS on the thing because it was frustrating to be stuck on the kernel version right before native linux application support :P It went from the most locked down computing technology in my daily routine to the most open in one night.

i've found a new record-holder for "most shameful password policy"

Got 3 hours of sleep last night let's fuckin gooooo

Exactly which is why it is correct and proper to point a finger directly at pewdiepie and say "you are responsible. A murderer gave you credit and now you must accept it."

@SallyStrange The other thing being, though, that if pdp didn’t have a history of edgy racism then his fans wouldn’t be available for radicalisation in the first place.

The goal of defending pdp from criticism helps nobody except Nazi recruiting basically so definitely people should not stop criticizing pdp for being a white supremacist "ironical" "joking" bigot who popularizes white supremacy and enables Nazis.

It's dangerous because the true aim of the Nazi terrorist seems clear: implicate pdp, his fans go into a defensive crouch, and find support among white supremacists (as they already have done with other instances of pdp's involvement with white supremacy), and become more radicalized as a result. It's already happening. I don't know what to do, except, it is important to accurately describe what's happening at the very least. 💜💜💜💜
