@ky0ko I'm thinking about buying a cybrespace invite, since apparently qoto is blacklisted from a couple of servers I have friends on. What's the character limit over there, though? The default 500?
US politics, sex work
The US's continuing hatred of any sex that can't be used to sell movie tickets to white boys is back in force yet again.

Not to beat a dead fucking horse, but the whole, "get rid of niche sexual practices like fandom and kink on major cultural hubs" thing was and is only a stepping stone to enforcing sexual repression on as many people as possible.
The more repressed people are, the more easily oppressed they are.

@kragen @akkartik @davidk01 Chuck Moore is an advocate of throwing away general purpose computers in exchange for lots of task-optimized computers. I am not. While I think task-optimized computing is a good thing to have around, current IoT trends suggests that there's still a huge need for general purpose computers; as well, current legal and commercial pressures continues to illustrate how task-optimization can be taken in the wrong direction entirely. General purpose computing is a duty.
overpopulation
is a myth. Period. It's a lie popularized by capitalists who don't want to have to change their ways.
The problem is not that we have too many people; we as a species produce enough food in a year to feed the entire population several times over. The problem is that corporations would rather throw food away than give it to someone who hasn't paid for it. Food waste (corporate, not personal) is an enormous problem, and "overpopulation" is the myth they use to deflect from it.

When I was born they couldn't tell if I was a boy or a girl, so I grew up to be an AnComm.
