My concern is that this ruling will get translated as "Trump/SCOTUS has outlawed vote-by-mail", which is simply not true.
No one should alter their voting plans for 2026 based on today's ruling.
@mattblaze ya. Doesnt change anything. Dont listen to those talking dumb ass.
@neatnik lol I should have just replied with that meme instead of this whole ass text

*sigh*…
I’m sighing because the “why are you critical of capitalism if you own an iPhone” is such an extremely cliché argument that, believe you me, I hear every freaking day as a political activist.
I’m sighing because it’s the most superficial, plain, and uninteresting way that most people have for dismissing people who have actual things to say and denounce.
I’m sighing because it’s a cope-out counter-argument that’s used repeatedly to disqualify valid points made by marginalized communities.
@brentsimmons, these aren’t tech choices being criticized, they’re political choices. Political choices made in a time of far reaching fascism should be criticized widely and openly, especially by those most impacted.
Hear those critics and argue against them for what they are instead of cheaply disqualifying those who make them on the basis that, yes, they are constrained to live in a capitalist society, and to themselves own/use products of that society as we all do.
@nileane 👏👏👏
still kind of flabbergasted at how useful RSS is as a thing for like, most of the informational and event-type stuff that people need, but how hardly anyone uses it, presumably bc most other options favor businesses and there isn't a lot of public awareness of the tech outside of cranks and power users

When did you last eat a nutrition bar?
I ate a nutrition bar yesterday, but only because I couldn't find the peanut butter cookies.
@skyfaller @dpk @zzt @allenbrunson it's extremely unfortunate, that essay on pg in particular remains a zinger
@davidgerard @skyfaller @dpk @zzt yeah, maybe so. but i will go farther in denouncing him: the pinboard guy is very smart, but also an arrogant asshole. he treats his paying customers on his bookmarking site with contempt.
he got into an argument on hacker news with paul graham many years ago. he was anything but objective. you could practically see the spittle flying out of his mouth. he has had a chip on his shoulder over pg for decades now.

leaptel looks good to me - well priced, excellent network quality to some of the services i care about - neptune not bad either
Scientists have recorded the highest temperature ever measured in the world's oceans, as climate change combines with a powerful El Nino in the tropical Pacific. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/08/25/climate-change/highest-ocean-temperature-super-el-nino/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #climatechange #oceans
I hate how increased awareness of gambling addictions didn’t lead to more treatment, it led to more monetization.

🗣USA HAS NO REAL BILLIONAIRES
billionaire is a political term Forbes uses to gaslight americans, but can't do so elsewhere:
https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/115769988432012038
not only the USA billion is “shrinkflated”. the Forbes’ list is a neoliberal ruse to let capitalists claim wealth, not based on the actual worth of their assets, but on SPECULATIVE VALUATIONS their cronies get to set; not the actual “free market”
and who was one of the connectors in this crony system? #JeffreyEpstein
