Nothing makes me feel like I've fucked up my life more than the 8" burrito tortillas that I bought.
What is this, a burrito for ants?

How is it that an artist selling their hand drawn fanart on etsy can get their work taken down by copyright holders but the plagiarism machine is fair game????

CAN YOU IMAGINE the HOWLS of Outrage if #Obama had tweeted an image of himself in military dress festooned with ribbons he didn't earn, standing between two iconic generals?
REMEMBER how much they DESPISED Bill Clinton for being a #DraftDodger (only to then elect #AWOLBush?) #GOPHypocrisy

‼️As of August 19th, the U.S. will be adding a 50% tariff to all of the goods I sell and export from Canada. My shop is now CLOSED TO ALL U.S. SALES - effective immediately.
This is catastrophic and insane, but I expect nothing less from that administration.
So far, I’ve been able to manage a 10% tariff - but 50%? Yeah, that’ll shut my business over the border down.
So, if you’re Canadian 🇨🇦 and find yourself in need of some custom fidget toys, please check out my shop or share it with someone who might enjoy it. Thank you. 😊

Of course right after typing this inspired, galaxy brained rant I immediately find some people playing Minecolonies going "Wait a minute, shouldn't we build their houses next to where they work?" 😖 #fail #HopeForHumanityAfterAll
Annnnd nevermind, they just went back to saying "We'll have a residential section here where we'll build a bunch of houses." -_-
Wish Minecraft was open source... along with Minecolonies etc.

Somber. Just received news that one my tight circle of gay friends in DC died last month. He survived AIDS, but dementia took him. At 68.
John loved gladiolas in a Baccarat vase, a dirty martini with 3 olives, his friends and Billie Holiday, especially this song.

That the Internet Archive and EFF have both caught the LLM brainworms, despite them both being two organizations that should be staunchly opposing their destruction of the internet, is extremely disappointing.
Heads up to anyone donating to these two orgs - consider cancelling and telling them why.

@curiousgawker we will fight for a world where you do not have to deal with any sadness ever again

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Girls Just Want To Have Fun Pin. I think the dudes who are trying to strip women of their right to vote must have forgotten that women also have the right to bear arms.

In light of the UK government's recent advice to households to stock up on food and water in anticipation of potential interruption of supplies this winter, I thought I'd do a little thread on #DisasterPrep for people who aren't gun-obsessed misanthropes as someone who has managed water and sanitation for a few ecological fieldwork and bushcraft camps.

@afewbugs Excellent thread that’s worth everyone’s time to read all the way through. Thank you for doing this.

Huge congratulations to the US-based Wikimedia Foundation employees who voted with 92% support in favor of unionizing, and shoutout to the tireless work of the organizers.

> there are very deep roots and political positions involved in much of the infrastructure being the way it is
Agreed. Proprietary software was inevitable because of capitalism. Free Code software (and the fediverse) exists only because of the dogged efforts of social movements pushing against the dominant paradigm. With the software freedom movement as the cutting tip of the spear, and the much larger Open Source movement as the weight behind the thrust.

> Open Source" got compromised and co-opted by corposcum very early
I think you're mistaking openwashing for Open Source. The Open Source definition is basically the Debian Free Software Guidelines, which it was based on. If you look at the decisions the OSI has made about which licenses to endorse, based on that definition, they pretty much always reject the same licenses that GNU/FSF reject as proprietary (eg Source Available licenses).
