Modern architecture actually makes me angry

Imagine being so selfish you ruin the way everything around you looks

Der grüne Bückling

Das Bild des sich devot vor dem Energieminister Katars verbeugenden Robert Habeck sagt wohl mehr über das Rückgrat der Grünen als es tausend Worte können. Klimapolitik, Menschenrechte, Emanzipation, LGBTQ-Politik und die letzten Reste einer ohnehin bereits bis zur Unkenntlichkeit pervertierten Friedenspolitik – all dies spielt offensichtlich keine Rolle, wenn man erst mal in Amt und

Just updated this post to add a key point:

Government-chosen, government-mandated automated censorship technology is especially bad because it won't stop with copyright-based censorship -- the temptation to use it for other things will be irresistible.

so far apparently the fediverse is just a bunch of weebs, a lot of trans people, and the occasional extremist.
god i love it here why am i just now joining

Decoupled from the outside world, I'm finally free to live the 26 hour day the allfather always intended me to live.
so Google called me the other day and was rather vague on what they asked me for gathering info about poast. that was fine, poast blocks googles access, at least their access they let people search from.

they said they wanted a half hour of my time and that was it, I told them early April. someone emailed me telling me I had to sign a waiver, nope. I had to be on voice call, fine, I had to desktop share -- absolutely the fuck nope

I brought up to the Google exec that I refuse to share my desktop
"I will warn my users about this"
"that would be really bad for you"

OK

regarding that survey about vaccination status and sanctioning russia:

that's what the governments get for making a solid percentage of the population to outcasts because they don't take experimental (still emergency use) vaccines. you breed contrarians.

putin is not dumb, he knows very well that the west is incredibly vulnerable right now. caught with our pants down.

it would probably have played out nice, in the sense that people would have forgotten the next time voting, with everything back to a kind of normal.

that isn't what happens now though. you can't expect the fresh contrarians you created to happily cheer along with other, unrelated points on your agenda. they will do the opposite, just out of spite.

whatever will happen, nearly every country in the west now has a substantial part of their population which have dropped out of the "democratic system". with no return in sight. the governments will act like trudeau has acted, emergency powers, and will breed more contrarians by this.

i think we will see the west calling gg on the last remains of democracy in the next decade.
