@fay59 weird, it’s like all the times the spam messages change how they say “reply stop”. Almost like they’re trying to avoid spam blocks.

@mnl Trying to do good and actionable things is good! I don't know much about what your work is in that regard, but I say to anyone who is trying to build a real and better future: keep it up!

Can you believe it — Covid-Safe Scouts has existed for two years now!
We’ve marked the occasion by refreshing the links on our website—sifting out the link rot (RIP to some good resources), adding some historical finds, and updating sections with the latest studies and reports (spoiler alert: it still massively sucks for your body to get infected, even if the acute symptoms are mild)—and created 20 new badges for dedicated Precautionistas to add to their collection.
If it’s been a while, take a look at the website and discover new useful resources as you renew your resolution to avoid (further) Covid infections.
Let us know how many badges you’ve earned!
If you’re still earnestly committed to virus mitigation efforts using as many precautions as possible, we see you and appreciate you.
If you’re looking to recommit to protecting yourself and loved ones from further infections, we hope we’ve found some good stuff to inspire and ease you into taking better precautions.

Opened the Wikipedia page for Trademark and found this under the Usage section.
![On social media, the trademark symbol has seen use in an ironic fashion, highlighting a concept as if it were important enough to warrant its own trademark, for example, "Official Bisexual Haircut™" or "soon™".[6][7] This is a non-standard usage of the symbol, which confers no special legal rights.](https://media.toot.lgbt/media_attachments/files/117/174/495/252/340/438/original/b6c9936f62847f25.png)

#WestPoint’s only #climate #scientist fired after continuing to teach human causes of #climatechange
According to #AdamKalkstein, who taught #army cadets there for 17 years, he told the dean at a November 2025 meeting that an order to cut from the curriculum content about the human causes of climate change was immoral and potentially illegal.
It “would be like trying to teach the law without being able to even mention the constitution”, he said.

Autistici/Inventati's domains have now been revoked. I updated the link in the above post with a wayback machine copy.
Every now and then someone tells me, "We have a decentralized naming system, it's called DNS!" and I say, no we don't, DNS is extremely centralized? And if that wasn't clear to you before, hopefully it's clear to you today.
@cwebber Yup. “Distributed” != “decentralized.”
because of "reproducibility".
the arch linux maintainer whose website is literally named named "vulns" needs you to modify everyone else's build process
so he can reproduce the build
he can't do it without your help

Political repression rarely identifies itself as repression. It is made bureaucratic, procedural and ordinary. It requires a target the public can be taught to fear and a vocabulary capable of making violence against that target appear necessary.

@lowqualityfacts I wonder if the year that the scientists meant was actually 2.064 x 10^3!?! 😂
