big surprise there. Who would’ve guessed people who think it’s perfectly normal to inflict violence on women or dogs or children wouldn’t be prone to extremism? I mean everywhere else in the world they think this but this is America.

*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 criticisms 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.
Apple products, given their price, seem to be a matter of choice.
Perhaps you could use an Android degoogled smartphone.

That doesn't actually generate as much passive income as one might expect.
@juergen_hubert even though I haven’t done that, I know enough people who have that I am well aware of that.

Update: One of the admins of this Facebook group apparently deleted all comments by myself and other authors who expressed criticism of this approach.
One admin of this group also posted assorted comments which were strongly in favor of AI translation, since "all the big publishing houses are doing this".
🤨
@juergen_hubert Not fair; he asked for specific recommendations.
cc @mildsunrise [i am not calling you evil here] i understand a little more why you were so passionate about the FFT a few months ago. that was really interesting work btw
it's just a little funny to see the author of a textbook works for the israeli war department and then it's published by cambridge university press. like oh this is some of that classic british colonialism

After five successive heat waves dried out the clay soil on which much of London is built, Londoners are facing historic levels of subsidence risk. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/08/25/climate-change/londoners-cracks-homes-heat-waves/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #london #heatwaves #climatechange
Tech billionaires would rather get rid of democracy than admit their fascist project is a bad idea.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @gilduran about how tech billionaires are upending the political system to serve their own ends at the expense of everyone else.

@Kels_316 @ThermiteBeGiants oh... oh no…
@jpm @Kels_316 @ThermiteBeGiants pick a tool battery manufacturer and use their 12V pack ? Replacement parts available, lots of compatibility, established duty cycling etc.
La planète crame, on va vers de gros soucis de prod alimentaire et le mec est tout fier de claquer des milliards dans des parcs d’attraction en coop avec une raclure. Vraiment le sens des priorités.
Today I learned that #ImageMagick has been slopped for some time. Like many tools, it's been load-bearing infrastructure for decades.
Meanwhile, the #GraphicsMagick fork has been quietly chugging along for 24 years. For most of that time, it's been maintained by a single human being.
That person has been asking for additional developer help for years now. While I don't have the skills to help directly, I can talk about it while I take their kindly offered toys out for a test drive.
一个哥们扛了 24 年，这才是真正的开源精神。好多项目都是这种默默续命的状态，等哪天 maintainer 退了，才发现整个行业都靠他在撑。
#OtD 25 Aug 1921 the Battle of Blair Mountain, the largest armed rebellion in the US since the civil war, began. 10,000 striking West Virginia coal miners battled with armed strikebreakers following the killing of miners, until disarmed by federal troops https://workingclasshistory.com/2018/06/09/wch-e7-the-west-virginia-mine-wars-1902-1922/
@workingclasshistory And today West Virginia is the most anti-worker state in the Union, insulting their own great history of worker solidarity. What a disgrace. And all because of Nazi eugenics and suicidal racism.
