Aight, I need to wander off in search of coffee and food for a bit. Probably not the end of my day but I swear the timing is off because I'm trying to help fundraise for Atticus but I'm not allowed to sit in this chair for more than an hour at a time. It's frustrating.

Very helpful thread discussing Elias and Democracy Defenders suits against anti American vote suppression EO by DT.
@odaraia thank you
@jalefkowit yeh, but we're not hearing this bollocks because she mattered in UK. We're getting it from #Newsnight because? Like Jolene was somehow progressive. Or 9 to 5 was a good song.
The woman was a self made cartoon caricature, who I never felt comfortable about.
Maybe she was a good person, but since I didn't know her - and nor did anyone on here - she's not important to me or you. I find it weird that when someone with "reach" died that people are suddenly connected to them. Sorry, nope
@happyborg @jalefkowit it's so comforting to know that I don't have to choose who I mourn, some tedious replyguy on the Internet will do that for me, based entirely on his refusal to actually know anything about the deceased.

Dolly.
Her name says it. That's who she chose to be because?
Look at her and tell me what that says to young women. Jolene FFS. What did they take from that? Educate me.
As a teenage boy I knew that was fucked up. As an old guy who now understands relationships I can comment on this, and that was fucked up. She was 30, so maybe naive.
But fuck idolising Dolly Parton and look at the whole including those messed up songs. Women, feel free to put me right, I will listen.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I know the Fediverse doesn't have an algorithm, but I find this uncanny!
If this were algorithmic social media I would assume that this was *obviously* "the algorithm".

I hope this explains what is wrong with billionare CEOs: https://www.notebookcheck.net/EA-CEO-earned-38-6-million-amid-Battlefield-layoffs-granted-use-of-company-jet-and-could-receive-125-million-in-exit-package.1356558.0.html
Meanwhile, most workers in this field are barely able to get contract work or even unable to get employment. This is just fucked up. And quite frankly, unethical.

NEW: Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty will not press felony riot charges against white supremacist provocateur Edward Jacob “Jake” Lang for his latest hate rally in Minneapolis, citing “extensive evidence of communication and logistical coordination between the Minneapolis Police Department and Lang’s security detail,” according to a press release on Tuesday.
The protester dressed as Spider-Man, however, is currently facing charges. Full story in link.

This is a subtoot about #Dolly Parton's recent passing.
Please resist the temptation to use the events of today to declare that all the good things are leaving the world. She worked to bring light into the world through a lifetime that has spanned decades. Her passing should not be used as an excuse to doompost. She of all people would not have wanted hopeless despair to be her legacy.
You want to see more light in the world? Work for it. Follow her example, and don't just mourn its passing.

"I write everything using AI now for the same reason I use a calculator when I do math problems" - and if it's a phone calculator then there's a chance you're getting wrong answers https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/111164851485070719 - people are against AI for the same reason 🙄

My dream: I want to do the work I (and others around me) value without being distracted by asking for money.
I wish for others to be able to do likewise.
We shouldn't need to justify our right to live, especially when its to fools always giddy for the next buzzword!

A new snapshot release of #minipgp6 is now available as v0.0.4:
https://codeberg.org/minipgp6/minipgp6/src/tag/v0.0.4
minipgp6 is a very small implementation of a modern subset of #OpenPGP
This version features an (almost) complete implementation of https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli-16.html, and an experimental implementation of OpenPGP card hardware security device support.
Note that the v0.0.x series of minipgp6 releases serve strictly as prototypes.
Once prototyping is complete, the v0.1 series will be written from scratch.
