Blasphemies are human laws for a god that can't take care of itself. It is proof that your god isn't all-knowing or isn't all-powerful.

@mttaggart whole US gonna have to go cyber punk ๐Ÿฅด

@Avitus @Linux sure signal is so far the best central messenger when it comes to handling privacy on potentially hostile infrastructure. However any seized phone can reveal phone numbers of group members. Collecting IP addresses are another attack vector. Cloudflare which serves encrypted blob files may be able to identify IP addresses of all signal group members who download an encrypted file. It's not data that the signal organization itself has access to but certainly an attack vector.

May I proudly present: The fascist propaganda scraper.

Since stickers spreading hateful messages keep popping up in my neighbourhood, I've decided to make it a permanent fixture in my everyday luggage.

A photo of my left hand holding a slightly rusty scraper. On its handle there's a sticker with an illustration of a small cat in trans colours and the following text: Yes homo.

None of this is normal.

Eventually, there must be a reckoning.

There must a Nuremberg style process.

EVERY enabling MAGAt must be brought to harsh consequences.

If the Courts won't, then WE WILL.

When they abjure the Courts, they end the social contract, thus their own physical safety.

I laughed out loud

If you think this canโ€™t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor
). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they arenโ€™t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

Gaza is a stark reminder of humanity's moral decline. If people can be brutally killed in plain sight, show it off, and suffer no repercussions, then weโ€™re all at risk.

@cryptadamist it'd certainly be a bummer if some started forging these and giving them out .. lol

I've developed an alternative to Bitcoin that is eight times as valuable.

Holy shit.

Just wow, wow, holy shit:

Completely rewriting a multi-million line COBOL codebase that has life-or-death consequences for real people in the space of a few months, using gen AI?

Iโ€™ve been writing software for 40-some years, and I have to say: this may be, without exaggeration, the stupidest software-related idea Iโ€™ve ever heard from leadership.
