Remember, kids: if it appears on TV, it is part of the system and must be fought against with all our might.
A very stupid and bourgeois quote. “Why?,” you would rightfully ask. “It seems pretty sensible to me.” Because there are many political parties that support libraries, but he will probably chastise you if you decide to vote for any of the ones that are not part of the establishment.
Gaiman: " If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries. Are t...
I'm also perplexed at the people who reply to those messages offering their sympathy. What do you gain from that? Do you enjoy licking ass that much?
I'm genuinely perplexed at people who say they receive “a barrage of extremely rude, very entitled, often misinformed responses,” or something to the same effect, because when you go look at the responses it is _never, ever_ true.
It's not that I can't see some of them. I went to her instance, so I saw whatever she got. She's lying, plain and simple.
I singled her out as an example, but my point is more general: why do people lie about something that's so easy to check?
I may delete this if it gets feral...but I'm genuinely perplexed. Why, when I post about Signal (which I love to do!) do I often get hit with a ba...

The retro computing and free software communities have demonstrated that we don't need a new hardware release every 2/3 years, but instead every decade. We can get the same result in terms of performance by just optimizing your software code base.
Good code on slower hardware can be faster than bad code on faster hardware.
Everyone benefits from the user to the Earth. The only one that won't be happy are big tech corporations.

Anarchism, to me, means not only the denial of authority, not only a new economy, but a revision of the principles of morality. It means the development of the individual as well as the assertion of the individual. It means self-responsibility, and not leader worship.

Un favor en forma de consejo no pedido: Si escribís un mensaje con multiples hashtags ponedlos al final del mensaje en lugar de ponerlos al principio. Este simple gesto nos facilita a los ciegos la lectura de lo importante del mensaje y los hashtags van a funcionar igual. Gracias por entenderlo!

I played _Nier: Automata_ and I didn't like it, but this post would become too long and boring if I listed all the reasons, so I'll just leave it like this.
“WE WRITE, you wrong?” If that's what those people think it's witty, I say fire them all.
