remember two things: 1. you did not become an expert on venezuela in the last two hours 2. this illegal breach of international law by trump’s admin is all about taking attention from his increasing cost of living, his ruining the economy, and the epstein files #venezuela #venezuelawar #trump […]

thanks for the follow. i’m very interested in your synth music, is there a place where to check it? i’m trying to play with synth music again but have so little free time, the inspiration for now is enough :)

this very much reminds me the for-profit, your-health-is-not-our-problem american healthcare system (seriously, it was bad, but in the last 5 years it has absolutely enshittified itself) https://mastodon.social/@ChronicIllnessHumor/115809003492579105

trump won because of one single reason: he’s a short-termist* in a country that has slowly but steadily moved towards short-termism * aka “populist”

the world of the year 2025 is “shitty”, and the color of the year 2025 is “shitty brown”. because all that has to do with technology and corporations last year got very “enshittified” and this year is just plainly shitty.

Heads up for those who, like me, worry about giving or receiving COVID-19 and flu: The new version of the Aptitude molecular test (for both COVID and flu) is now available at retail. It requires a re-usable reader and somewhat pricy single-use test, but is more sensitive than the rapid tests […]

It is being normalized. Just not how they want us to believe.

Just in case it wasn’t already crystal clear, trans bathroom bans don't force trans people to use the “proper" bathroom. They force trans people to never use any public restroom at all. And that was always the intent […]

i’m having the impression that apple—the tech company—has already had its ship-of-theseus moment and we’re left to wonder if there’s enough original material to consider it the same as before, or if it has changed people, parts, and processes enough to consider it a separate, different company

@ifixcoinops @danirabbit however, this expert’s dilemma is not unique to computers; it also explains why your maths teacher wanted you to be a mathematician, and your doctor finds it trivial to suggest you change your life and diet on a dime to have better health: “experts care very much but […]

@ifixcoinops @danirabbit “the default computer experience being other than a computer-oriented person’s experience” is virtually the blind side of almost every programmer i’ve worked with—one that as a designer, i’ve, sometimes, helped them see, as it is usually not that they don’t care, but […]

I use the terminal all the time 'cause I'm a massive nerd who's always messing around with servers and shit, the difference between me and half the guys scratching their heads wondering why Linux isn't more popular is that I KNOW I'm a massive nerd the way I, a massive nerd, use a computer […]

Good morning

after this week’s outages, this doesn’t look so dumb to me:

it doesn’t take a genius to realise that when i wrongly type a word on my phone most usually is because i typed *the wrong letters*, those adjacent to the right ones, so why “dumb correct” offers me words whose orthography would be adjacent to mine instead of words whose letters would be […]

if you ask the supreme court of the united states if they would ignore the law that no one can directly see and only judicate on the law that all can see they would probably say a rotund NO. then i wonder why they judicate in a way that won’t make it fair and just for those social injustices […]

social networks pulled out the ultimate devil’s bargain where every side feels the posts are on *their* space so they can react, and be outraged, as they please. like when you post to your personal follower list and i get it in my personal feed so we both treat each other as the invasor of our […]

if i say exactly what i think, most people either don’t care or plainly hate it when i do so. if i try to look for a better, more congenial thing to say, most people still either don’t care or plainly hate it when i do so, and then, sadly, so do i.
