Like, these guys aren't cops. They have no authority to be just stopping cars, provoking and terrorizing people, and then making arrests. Literally none of this shit, certainly not gang snatching US citizens is legal. None of this is shit ICE is empowered to do by anything other than Trump, Miller, and Noem's whims combined with Bondi's complicity.
So I dunno at what point you say "they are doing the fascist takeover thing" but this is fascist takeover shit.

My former CTO used to go to train fairs to support the events. Shoveling coal etc..
I'm not sure which one with which he was associated.

Trying not to be nostalgic but this certainly feels like back then.
60 years old
Had an internet startup in 1994-96 doing dial up, then selling fractional T1s and fell into web design (ugly, bad) and helped on first websites for Pete's Wicked Ale, Sunkist (survey boy!), Disney, Orange County Register. Lived through the Pentium FDIV bug while trying to learn kernel compile and Tumpet Winsock. Usenet!
My first meaningful online community was radioparadise.com.
@OttoNorse The first computer I built for myself was a P90 with the FDIV bug. I think I still have that chip somewhere in a drawer.
As a person who was a child in the 1980s, I wonder how mid-twenties bartenders feel when they ask me for ID.
Do they feel like they're interacting with Thomas Edison's neighbor or the person who started World War I?
Did you really go to school walking in the snow, uphill, both ways?
Sorry about how grainy the images are.
uploaded a new video!
Mechanical Calipers and the Vernier Principle, discussing how to use them, and why they work, with some information you won't find in other tutorials! :)

There are many ways to approach these issues.
One approach is to use groups to allow people to easily reach each other no matter what instance they are on (more about groups at https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/ ).
These kinds of groups are like "super hashtags", they repeat posts that mention them but use a push method to reach other servers that is a lot more effective than hashtags.
However, they are not forums the way Facebook Groups are.

@opalideas @paulbusch @ZebKing
Another approach is to use things like NodeBB ( https://nodebb.org ) which are part of the Fediverse but based around discussion forums. This is a lot closer to Facebook Groups, but it's also fairly new in its Fediverse connections. Best people to ask would be @nodebb and @julian
You can follow and interact with NodeBB accounts from Mastodon etc.
A third approach might be the various Reddit-style Fediverse platforms like https://join.piefed.social etc.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a government which had more principles than makeabuck.

Consider unfollowing that person that always leaves you feeling worse about things.
Last RT - forgive the CBS link, but if you haven't watched that video, you really fucking should. It's uh... horrifying. It's Florida, not Minnesota - but it's the same Gestapo wherever you are in America.

Das ist ein sehr schönes Format von der TAZ, hier eine sehr essentielle Frage:
Kinder fragen, die taz antwortet - Wie können sich die Reichen durchsetzen, obwohl sie in der Minderheit sind?

haha c'est énorme : il existe un logiciel pour détecter si un chat marche sur votre clavier et bloquer ces caractères non désirés. 😄 Et ça émet même un son désagréable pour le chat pour lui apprendre à ne pas recommencer.

Received my 10th COVID shot today. Got my first one during the pandemic, have been unable to stop. I confess. I’m a vaccine addict. This dirty secret is why I can’t get a job in the current administration.
@carlmalamud I didn't realise there have been that many iterations of the COVID vaccine
@paulbusch @ZebKing Definitely support that! But this brings up a slight failing of Mastodon that I have been asking about.
If Mastodon is to replace the corporate social media stuff there has to be a way to better focus on the local, even down to family level.
How can I set up an instance for Vancouver Island? For the Central Island? For a residential group in Qualicum Beach?
And, needing a dedicated server is out of reach for a senior with fixed income.

Signed @olivia 's open letter to the Dutch government, aiming to reclaim AI from the "AI Delta Plan" etc. It's here: https://openletter.earth/zorgvuldig-and-zorgzaam-digitaal-f559037e #AI #NLpol
@AnarchoNinaWrites Delicious. Your partner's not called Rossum by any chance? 😁
@brad lol, no.
