#DEI is institutionalized racism.

iPhones and their consequences. Who could've seen this coming from the generation that's trying to get through entire CS degrees with only tablets because they can't into filesystems.

@abortretryfail I fully understand that some people might get upset that people exercise their software freedom to e.g., make expensive commercial versions -- but it is a right that we care about, and a right that is important for FLOSS.

One can also often solve it by using a good copyleft license (GPLv3, AGPLv3 are good choices for that, companies like to avoid them), instead of making up your own license that the community and authors have a very fundamental disagreement about....

Yea I just got that for the first time. Maybe Stoney doesn't know how bad cuckflare is? They might even just leave him alone. CF actionlly defamed Kiwifarms yet they still serve animal crushing (literally illegal is the US) sites.

Chromebooks foisted on students? Teachers monitoring what children do outside of the classroom via nonfree software? Surveillance of children is common, and it's at your child's school, too. Support #FreeSoftware https://u.fsf.org/32h

I would actually be interested in knowing the specific methodology of their request. Obviously you can't just flag everybody who shops at bass pro because that's like half of America and would make a very useless watchlist. There is probably some poor understanding of Bayesian statistics where if you buy X and Y and Z the odds of you being "dangerously based" goes up.

It's also good to know this stuff for self preservation purposes. Maybe you don't want to buy fishing rods off the dark net but doing transactions with significant cash at innocuous stores might be a good idea.

Pixelfed was forked, I joined their discord and gave them a piece of my mind

Forks fucking rule, I'm happy to see this. Open source is crucial to the fediverse, and while we all might not agree on everything, it feels amazing to desire to work with forks

Y'all are the real winners, even more so when devs like me do the unthinkable and bring awareness to forks

well, well. we made it friends. through thick and thin and against a lot of people's wishes Poast is officially 3 years old.

what started out as a shitty mastodon server we somehow managed to convince 2000 people from twitter to join in the span of only a few hours on January 13, 2021 to over 30,000 strong today.

in three short years we managed to best every single challenge and hurdle thrown at us from brainlet dramanigger accusations to 0day exploits, news hit pieces and financial struggles we made it through all of it.

we are thankful that you have all stuck around despite everything, growing pains and all and we look forward to many more years here with you.

🎂🎈 god bless you poast and thank you for everything 🎈🎉
