Anyone who tweets something like this deserves far worse than being deplatformed from a social media website.

I just love how people are only just now recognizing the Holomodor.

After a week of development, and using existing code to get a head start, I have the beginnings of an ActivityPub server written. It currently does very little in the way of ActivityPub processing: there is an /inbox that dumps all requests to a queue for later processing (along with the information needed to validate the HTTP signature minis the public key), there is an /owner/actor and there is a very basic webfinger implementation.

This is enough to get the account viewable thru existing software (see @teknomunk), but not enough to actually interact with anyone. Implementing code to get incoming follow requests working is my next priority.

I'm already getting activities delivered (mastodon.social keeps wanting to Delete @bappity for some reason).

If this project doesn't stall, and enough projects I've started have stalled for me to hedge here, I expect to move to the new server when enough of the basic functionality is in place so that all my normal activities can be done without me switching accounts.

Earth’s reflectiveness, or planetary albedo, may be primarily responsible for 21st century climate forcing.
"it is obvious that the increase in absorbed solar radiation, modulated by changes in cloud albedo, has been the dominant forcing factor driving warming in recent decades."
CO2 is a nothing burger. Clouds rule the climate, the sun is in charge.

Here's a website documenting homemade guns before the 3d printed ones popped up. There's a lot of jank homemade shit there before the FGC-9 revolutionized things.

You can apparently destroy entire gayme data of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet by simply using the "throw away comment" attack on a Purimuon with Magic Mirror ability.

People like hachi just want a world system where they are at the top of the hierarchy, and they aren't even self-aware enough to admit that.

I respect an outright tyrant more than a well-meaning dictator because at least the tyrant is honest about their intentions. The tyrant responds sensibly to deterrents because they are acting in self-interest. I've ranted elsewhere about why I feel that SBF is *worse* than your typical scammer because he was motivated by Effective Altruism.

@hachi
> It's also part of the reason why we can't allow libertarians to form micronations or start-up societies because that leaves parts of the world without mutual aid.

This is extremely poor geopolitical strategy. If you make it impossible for your enemy to retreat, then he will have no choice but to attack.

On a related note, my least favorite political slogan is "silence is violence".

Some people just want to live in a log cabin and be LEFT THE FUCK ALONE.

>my enemies are imperialists who want to take land by force and think they are superior to everyone

>my (gay) version of socialism must be GLOBAL (take the world by force) because it’s superior to everyone

Congrats, you’re just a gayer version of your enemies.
