Someone accused me of "clout farming on this platform," which is amusing. How much do you think clout on Mastodon is worth? Tell the maître d' you're a big deal on Mastodon and see if it gets you a better table

Like I literally just learned that when you use masu stem of a verb with な, it becomes an imperative!
来なよ！ー come on over
来るなよ！ ー don’t come over
@indutny is that short for 「来ないか？」?
Also btw, all this ties into climate crisis too - because sooner or later the means to support 8B+ people is going to become the means to support 4B+ people and so forth as time goes on.
Ask yourself why these fuckers are responding to a climate crisis driven by fossil fuel-based, extractive capitalism by - hardening borders, building out massive police states, and removing civil and labor rights at speed. The answer is right in front of you.
And all of that? Is why you're an absolute fucking muppet for saying "well I'm not a Nazi but I support hard borders."
Chickens for KFC bullshit.
One of my favorite things I've learned in the last decade: when you're gang-coding remotely, and you need them to make a new line and type something, you say, for instance, "At line 31 and a half, ..."
@GeePawHill What an excellent way to express it. Succinct and clear!
Dear Mastodonians
I am very pleased to announce the release of my latest film "Final countdown".
Over the past months I have been thoroughly researching the Ukraine war, to bring you a well founded analysis and answer the key question: Is Putin losing the war?
I have good news… so watch it for free on YouTube:

@randahl released a video with an interesting twist on reality -- the sun rises in the north according to Randahl Fink. Or maybe that's Vladimir Putin's head essploding?
Thus capital, money, rich people, can seek the cheapest labor price (typically associated with the lowest labor rights), while the poor are essentially confined to easily exploitable economic zones. In this way you effectively drive down the price of labor and render regulation and labor law moot - you can simply go to the place desperate enough to not have labor laws. And in a race to the bottom someone is always gonna be willing to burn their labor class to get in the game.

Listodon has been updated to #Mastodon v4.7.1
No issues, tho my routine notes have me doing a bundle install, yarn install --immutable, and RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile on every upgrade.
It seems that this simply required a bundle install this time...it seemed to work just fine, at least I see the updated version number when restarted.
I am told that this post is not obviously sarcasm.
It is sarcasm.
I am pointing out that all these denouncers of socialism--of universal healthcare, of universal education, of universal childcare, of virtually *any* program meant to help actual humans--all fully endorse subsidies, regulations, tax policies, and every other possible thing to help corporations make profits.
And. I know this might be hurtful, but here's the thing. If you don't have the wherewithal to identify OP as sarcasm, you most certainly don't have the wherewithal to parse the lies you receive every day from these scumbags.

Mmmuuuuuummmmmmm the weird connector shop that puts teapots and chickens and stuff in their images is back #StraightOuttaShenzen
@jpm "Our connector will cock it up so much it'll make you cry"?
Okay but brey, you must realize by now that "learn to code" was never career advice at all, but merely a catchphrase designed to dismiss the concerns of workers while our politicians were being paid to outsource labor to third would countries our CIA shoots union leaders in.
The secret trick of neoliberalism is that it's a project to restore power to a new aristocracy and it works by removing all borders for capital, while strictly enforcing borders for labor (people) to replicate serfdom.
Thus capital, money, rich people, can seek the cheapest labor price (typically associated with the lowest labor rights), while the poor are essentially confined to easily exploitable economic zones. In this way you effectively drive down the price of labor and render regulation and labor law moot - you can simply go to the place desperate enough to not have labor laws.

you know what, if you join your union in the next 48 hours, are in Australia, and send me proof/invoice I will send you the lesser of $100 or your union fee (eg, if your union fee is $98 I will send you $98, if your union fee is $102, I will send you $100) - for the first 20 people.
That's effectively $100 off your first union fee. Why am I doing this? it's a mutual benefit that workers are supported by unions and allows for enterprise bargaining. This is not an economy you want to be alone, and the future looks dire in some ways - but it doesn't have to be if we work together.
