Every year, perfectly fixable devices end up in landfills because manufacturers won't let you repair them. Join EFF, Adam Savage, and iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens on July 23rd to find out why—and what you can do about it. Live Q&A included. https://eff.org/livestream-r2r
BREAKING: Haley Stevens just voted to send $3.3B more to Israel as it commits genocide of Palestinians. Even Nancy Pelosi and Rep Katherine Clark voted against this.
This is what $40M in AIPAC spend gets you. A vote for Stevens is a vote to fund Israel and to fund ICE. A vote for Abdul El Sayed is a vote to fund universal healthcare and a vote to abolish ICE. VOTE ABDUL EL SAYED!
@nev I have seen a surprising number of bicyclists wearing masks in the past couple of days (which is to say, more than zero), but if it took this much ...
(I follow @camelliakyoto who posts a lot of pictures and etc from Kyoto, and one of the things that feels disorienting is how tons of people are casually masked in them. I wish that was the fashion here too.)
@cks @camelliakyoto I've seen a few more people than usual wearing masks!

The funniest bit about this is how many people reply to this saying "but my grandparents…". So either Mastodon has the luckiest crowd or one that proves the point 😅
@RuthMalan @testobsessed @joeltosi Okay wait hold on ectremely unimportant question how did you manage to have the one 80s-quality (extremely complimentary) Software Book cover that I have seen in the past 20 years and who else has preserved this Forbidden Knowledge.
@gaditb @RuthMalan @joeltosi It was relatively easy -- I'm the GenX illustrator 🤣 (Seriously though thank you so much I'm glad you like it!)
#MarkCarney is attempting to force #Canadians into a “let the motherfucker burn” moment in regards to #climatechange and our country’s response.
Turncoat #Liberals and their supporting #Corporations are tripling down on #climatedestruction with new #pipelines, #aidatacenters, and #LNG, despite the majority of Canadians opposing abandoning our climate goals.
After all our work fighting Climate Change, Corporate propaganda now tells us “It’s inevitable, get used to it”.
What’s made clear is that the #economy means more to corporate owned politicians than our communities or our votes.
Ultimately, #Corporatism will rule over the people’s interest, no matter how much our communities will pay.
These #neocon #CarneyLiberals gave strategic voters in #cdnpoli exactly what we voted against, a conservative agenda.
This is political fraud, yet few seem to notice due to Carney’s #ShockDoctrine threat of a racist, fascist old fart who will be dead in a year or two.
Carney’s #Liberals are #traitors to our country and this #earth, every single one of them. Vote them all out.

@evacide “People get an enormous amount of enjoyment and satisfaction out of creating stuff if it’s low effort,” he said. People who want to be creative, but might not be very good at it, can turn to A.I. and find “a bunch of barriers removed.”
yikes!
@allanb As person whose hobbies are all about putting in many hours of effort for slow, marginal progress in extremely difficult things, I am offended by every aspect of this.
I miss forums.
@neil same. I've been thinking about what it would mean if forums worked with a shared API, then client would generate ids, and you would be able to add a forum/community to a client and work with it from there. Ideally, no registration simply with a generated identity. Compatible over SMF, phpBB, vBulletin, etc. Like .. add a forum and participate, with each forum being specific to its community/topic.

Happy 12th birthday to me! 🎉🔸🎂🔸🎉
We've come a LONG way since 2014. Remember what 1.0 looked like?
@overcastfm Happy birthday! I remember when you were announced on stage at XOXO ten months before that! https://xoxofest.com/2013/videos/marco-arment/
I hate that since COVID """ended""" (scariest scare quotes of all time) we as a society have apparently decided never to wear masks again for any reason no matter how justified.
We're back to just Asian people wearing masks now. Also visibly radical-queer-type people, so that's progress, I guess.

Watching Jane Eye (1943) again and it is a feast.
A very young #LizTaylor has already died and we're about to see #JoanFontaine arrive at the home of a tyrannical #OrsonWelles. (Later lifelong friends).
Screenplay lead by #AldousHuxley (a hero of mine).
This is lush. The opening line of #JaneEyre is also significant, featuring the year of my future home's first deed which I transcribed this week.
Cinema has so much to learn from #movies like this.
They’ll try to
Burn you,
Never knowing
You are made
Of fire.
