I mean the fucked part is on some level, guys like Trump and Stephen Miller agree with the Canadians. There is the idea that percolates throughout fascist ideology that all these "woke socialist countries" (read: Western capitalist "democracies" with healthcare) survive off the US teat, and the reason THEY can have healthcare and social programs is WE'RE doing the SERIOUS work of capitalism back here. If THEY had to stand on their own, they'd be Nazis just like we are.
It's all very gross.
(In the above context I meant to add "agrees with the Canadians that they're us but better." Then I used up all the characters. Fuck it these Nazis are going to wipe out the species so I'm not wasting even a single second trying to go back and edit that)

Bought a GoPro Max2. My wife recorded stuff with it. Requires "GoPro Player" software to reformat the video. "GoPro Player" does not run properly. GoPro forums are full of people with years worth of identical complaints, none of which have ever been solved, addressed, or from what I can tell noticed by any GoPro staff member. The camera is going back to the store tomorrow, and that is the permanent end of my business relationship with GoPro.
now a kid rocked up to the empty docking station near me with a massive gaming laptop, a second USB-C monitor (so three monitors all up) and an unopened box of pizza shapes he tore into soon as he sat down - i love him
@decryption I’m at the shops with time to kill while the car charges and you best believe I’m now on the hunt for pizza shapes.

A data rescue group called AidData republished a large collection of USAID evaluation reports, restoring decades of evidence about the efficacy of foreign aid programs previously lost in the shutdown of USAID.

The sky cleared up in time for the peak. If my neighbors didn't already think I'm weird, this should clinch it. Stalking the sidewalk at midnight, with binoculars in my left hand, iPhone in my right hand, and a bug net over my head for mosquitoes.

We probably all agree that broken links suck.
But do we all similarly appreciate how cool links are that point to material that’s 20+ years old *and that still’s reachable through the old URLs*.
Site owners aside who forgot there was a server running, is there a better signal that there's someone who’s watching after their work. 🙇♂️

If you are interested to know more about Autistici Inventati, I can highly recommend their book
+KAOS: Ten Years of Hacking and Media Activism
It was translated to English by Institute for Network Cultures and is available for free as epub:

If “plug” and “socket” work just fine, do we really need to keep assigning genders to electrical cords and garden hoses?
Some industries are moving away from “male” and “female” connectors.
💦 Aujourd’hui, avec Meriem Naili, nous avons présenté à la presse la « Balade aquatique » dans l’Isère prévue dimanche à #Grenoble.
Derrière cette baignade, il y a un projet qui avance. Sérieusement, progressivement, sans raconter d’histoires.
Et surtout une question : comment retrouver l’accès à cette eau qui coule au milieu de notre ville ? 🌊

Vandaag liet ik in het @NOS Journaal zien hoe lang het nog duurt voordat deze recordwarme zomer een heel gemiddelde zomer zou zijn in een warmer klimaat. Dat is in het warme scenario van het KNMI al over minder dan 20 jaar, in 2045. Dan zou deze zomer heel gemiddeld zijn. En in 2060 zou je na zo'n zomer zeggen: poeh, dat was een frisse zomer.
I want to chime in on something I've seen other people saying now that Meta has settled a lawsuit for #SocialMedia addiction of children and teens and #AI is proving harmful for children and teens learning capacity. So we need to protect the children, right?
LISTEN UP! *It's not just 'the children'.*
If something is harmful when you are a kid it can be harmful if you are an adult. There's no magic age at which you become 'safe'. The potential for harm does not simply disappear.

Look, to be clear, Canada is also a fake country, created by colonialism, full of white people. There is a dark underbelly to this whole place you don't notice when you first come here, but gradually starts to seep into your consciousness and much like America, almost all of that ick revolves around whiteness and capitalism, in so much as they are even separate things.
But they find our brand of racism, fundamentalism, overt cruelty, and crass self-promotion very gauche. They don't hate us, but they are not deceived by our façade, or intimidated by our bluster.
I don't think I am speaking out of turn here, because I've read their academics saying the same thing, but Canada is a country that in part defines itself by what it is not - specifically us, America.
What Trump thinks he can do is change how a whole ppl see themselves. He will never succeed.
