@snowdusk_ yeah, Apple seems be be making a go out of just taking your money directly rather than trying to find sneaky ways to monetize you. Deploying things like encryption, sane browser behavior and USB ports that shut down to thwart law enforcement overreach.

I’m extracting myself from Google’s ecosystem but that doesn’t mean I’m blindly moving to iCloud et al. I’m actually replacing things like online storage with encrypted usb drives and streaming music with local MP3s.

Your attention please!

Today is the Dutch #activist and #anarchist Joke Kaviaar arrested and send to jail. She must stay in jail for 71 days.

Joke is also active on Mastodon (and therefore the Fediverse) under the alias @Jo.

Her arrest was not a surprise, cause she lost earlier this month her last appeal. She must go to jail cause she first published alleged seditious texts, criticizing in her unique creative style the Dutch #asylum policy. The second reason was an action in a municipal council chamber against the #deportation of children and their families. So yes, she has to go to jail because of a now forbidden text and a non-violent action.

This is the side of the #Netherlands you don't hear about comrades. So please don't think this country is a free haven. It' s a neo-liberal tax haven, and don't you dare to criticize the state. Of course the Dutch national media is silent about this and that in the same week as a near government coalition conflict about child deportation.

Please boost to show your #solidarity!

DJ @hairylarry is up next on http://aNONradio.net ! "Something Blue" #blues #jazz

I am enjoying the first show of aNONradio's newest DJ @iiogama. Good job -- such a chill setlist! I am looking forward to many episodes of this show.

@hairylarry it is! (2.8), and unfortunately not yet, just testing my rigging.

I have a DVI_HDMI adapter lying around but I couldn't find it after the move. I guess I'll buy a new one so I can find the original again

sometimes i wonder if i isolate myself here in the fediverse by being real and unfiltered about the black experience

probably. but, that's fine. if people don't want to know they can block me

the number of times i get "i can't believe this" in response to me in general is kinda amusing. it's like. "how could i make you believe?"

you know, you can't really be an ally without putting in the work to not immediately doubt the words of others experiences. the world is.. a different place for some.

it's Okay

Rule of Software Complexity: You can't have a complex system that isn't also a buggy system.

Corollary: The only sustainable user interface is a REPL.

Corollary: No matter how advanced your user interface is, the REPL will still have more features.

@feoh

I liken it chaotic good tendencies.

I'll follow your laws, and help people to the length of my tether.

Unless your laws are unjust.

Then I'll actively undermine them to show the foolishness.

Hey there! A new artwork is available in my shop, check it out!
