Democracy is when one party runs on X, the other party runs on Y, then after the election they both do Z no matter what, and somehow this counts as the people voting for it regardless of how they actually voted.

@Oven_Operators_LU_88 @Breaking911 Say what you want, but Jury Nullification is one of your sacred duties as a citizen. Think a law shouldn't be on the books? Don't let them enforce it. Simple as.

Everyone tells you that PHP sucks and is a dead language, yet every language they recommend you using instead is always some meme language that will be considered obsolete in five years.

Ruby on Rails, Django, and Spring Framework were all supposed to replace it, yet nobody remembers them.

The digital panopticon is being constructed before our eyes and most people are too busy, distracted or apathetic to care.

Reminder that the Online Safety Act does not target porn specifically. It is also used to censor content that the government would rather people not be made aware of, like protest footage.

@professionalbigot69 @TeaTootler @veff @Griffith the main reason people want to be free of their families is because their parents were intrusive buzzkills who don't know what the phrase "leave me alone" means.

Also the people with these parents ironically also are never able to move out 💀

There’s some crazy graphs going around. Everyone knows we’re in a housing crisis, but the chart on the right is housing prices adjusted for gold. Housing is actually affordable if your job pays you in gold. The reality is, the currency has fallen so far, it’s sparked a housing crisis. That’s how far the dollar has fallen. It’s uh, over.

PHP is a "cockroach language" that is never going to die. It is popular because it is dead simple to learn and does a better job of helping new developers get started, as it is available everywhere, including on $1 hosting platforms 😉

@icedquinn @waltercool GNU Taler is designed to be taxable and black/gray market unfriendly. The only problem is that it requires banks to implement it in order for it to be used.

"I was over 11 years in prison, I met great many people there. I can safely say that over half don't have business there. They can be released just like me and are no imminent threat to other people. They are decent man." - Ross Ulbricht youtu.be/uVt1_SN-ATk?si=IE5WIj

@coolboymew @kaia @Akagi @Hoss @Ergo @noyoushutthefuckupdad Just spread a wet layer of baking soda instead of using poison sticks. It's cheaper and won't give you Alzheimer's.

As it turns out, the latest version of MySQL has support for JSON, bringing the best of both relational databases and document-oriented databases, and I can run this all on a simple LAMP server. That's good to know.

@lunduke no, Bryan. It won't fix shit. Government propaganda bots will be the first to get that verification and people with unpopular opinions like yourself will be the first to be denied the right to post anything.

Then again, you too might be an AI bot for all I know.

Lunduke: Giving every site your identification is a good thing actually.
Talk about jumping the shark...

"The app lets women anonymously post photos of men, along with stories of their alleged experience with them, and ask others for input."

Back in my day, gossip was done in person, truly we have fallen as a society.

@vokainen099 @cjd The solution to the payment processor issue is a crypto-only store front (though crypto payments would have to be added later). Don't put too much faith in MasterCard reversing their decision or the government stepping in.
