I went to a city hall meeting to discuss the Flock cameras, and my local politicians are fucking retards.
No one voted for these cameras all over the place, but the city sign a contract with flock in 2020.
Today's meeting was in regards to forming an unpaid citizens' council to review the Flock system in place over months, and then decide whether or not it should be voted on by the community. Everyone who was there regarding the Flock cameras was adamantly against even putting together a stupid council, and told the city council members to simply cancel the Flock contract.

They called us anti-police agitators. They said that we were on a crusade against the police. They said that the few of us that showed up(about 15-20)to city hall on a Thursday morning aren't representative of the hundred thousand people who live in the the area. One council member said that twenty of us showed up, but he had sixty people call him in support of Flock cameras... of course none of those supposed supporters showed up.

Every single city council member voted to shelf the citizens' study, and the community will never get a vote on whether or not they want Flock cameras.
One city council member had the audacity to say that there's so much support for Flock that he's sure it would pass if it were put up to vote, so we don't need a vote on it.

I want to [fed post] so hard right now.

@gotosocial@gts.superseriousbusiness.org @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de I think not allowing vibecoding is good because it can be argued that vibecoded projects aren't even free software in the first place because they use proprietary and legally ambiguous code under the hood.

What I am not a fan of is that in the recent policy change Codeberg also decided to ban cryptocurrency projects. I think this is a bad move because I think cryptocurrency projects can definitely have good uses as well and banning then outright is frankly rediculous and anti freedom. Therefore I will not be financially supporting Codeberg.

I don't understand blanket cryptocurrency hate.

WE HATE STATE CAPITALISM
"I have created a decentralized solution using cryptographic technology"
NOOOO NOT LIKE THAT

What the fuck wrong is with these people?

not sure if its better or worse that i have no influence on things.

i see people who do have influence (like drew) scuffing shit up for everyone else. they don't seem concerned at all about being wrong.

i'm apparently wrong about everything, somehow, and get thrown in the waste basket.

i suspect one but not both of these outcomes is correct. life is strange.

Codeberg blocks cryptocurrency projects.

"Proof of work wastes energy and is bad for the environment", says website that hides itself behind Anubis.

i guess the logical distinction is crypto mining on the build service is an active malice against the commons (someone is using a tool to do a thing) while writing the crypto miner as a tool is either unrealized or nothing (someone has to use a tool to cause harm, many tools never do.)

yeap i don't need to waste a day thinking about that rabbit hole of logic.

@mkljczk@pl.fediverse.pl I also disagree with the decision to blanket ban cryptocurrency projects. I don't think gender has anything to do with it though.

@xianc78@gameliberty.club It's always the same pattern... If we had Waffles as a Service:
- Seerup dot com: Popular, but you cannot say anything bad about chocolate-flavored waffles.
- Waffl dot io: You can only say good things about chocolate or blueberry waffles so that people who like them don't get upset. Strawberry waffles are banned. All of the mods eat blueberry waffles.
- BreakfastBoys dot uwaaah dot su: Everything goes, but the ~15 people there only discuss how bad chocolate waffles are (while the server isn't down)
- GNU Golden Squares, Better Batter, ironfried: Abandoned + never worked in the first place

Double taxation is repulsive and immoral, even if you support taxes

Who I met a SEGE 2026 pt2
LGR was at the convention! I should’ve figured he’d be there given he’s somewhat near the area. We chatted about the hurricane recovery we endured & expressed how glad to hear he’s back on his feet. Even touched the wood grain 486. Got a selfie & a cool sticker for my gaming PC. Clint’s a pretty chill dude. 👍 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #retrogaming

fun fact GNU/Taler is now banned from Codeberg, technically.

Not because Taler does anything wrong, but because Codebergers are fundamentally stupid people who don't understand "proof of work" is not the entire field of crypto. (Taler in particular was entirely designed by groups to be as legal and upstanding as possible.)
