An iconic Belfast building, that survived a couple bombs in its history, looks to have been pretty much destroyed by accidental fire. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-45330801

I truly believe that the bourgeois family and all the norms and values associated with it are the most destructive aspects of everyday capitalism & the imperialist police state.

Think about all the stupid shit people will do to "help" & "protect" their families' immediate material interests. Think about all the violent norms, the racism, the brutal class divisions. Everything from housing and community policing, healthcare bullshit, everything. Family is a bullshit construct.
I love the all too rare conversations with my friend Stu. Talking about populism, liberalism and Conservatism and how most people who call themselves conservatives aren’t conservative at all, but taking a particular set of ideas and behaviours as an identity and then applying a populist approach. The term conservative ought to be reclaimed.

Hey people, I've been noticing the number of posts with alt text going down. It might be because of all the new users who haven't learned about the feature yet, so for them and everyone:
yall should use alt text when uploading images! what are they??? hover over the images to find out! why are they good? the tldr of it is that visually impaired computer users exist and it helps them navigate the INFOBAHN better

@thomasfuchs That’s not a virus, that’s just installing a BSD.

So I understand that every decent person at least claims to dislike nickelback but how do they end up on so many playlists alongside celine Dion and ABBA? They’re really quite shouty rock.
Limavady maize maze “I’m not goin’ to lie, it’s muddy in there so it is.” Understatement of the day.
Every time it rains (often today) my wife comments on the forecast saying there’s no rain today. The forecast here is almost constantly wrong to the point of completely useless, yet she persists with it.

It's always astounding just how loud these old computers are. The noisiest part is the harddisk, but the power supply fans anen't holding back either.
Usually for an old PC like this, the power brick is an off the shelf part, and they're still made 30+ years later, so it's easy to get a brand-new one that is virtually silent.
For the hard disk, it's not a question if it will fail (if it hasn't already), just when. (Easily replaced with a [silent] CF card solution.)

I like that most bitcoin bros on Mastodon have bitcoin in their account name so I can immediately block them. That’s helpful.
