when as a society will we eliminate mandatory SMS 2FA fallback? i think if you lose your backup codes you should simply be forced to suffer

LINUX NERDS: i can't find a good answer for this about file systems. i know NTFS is compatible but not really Recommended as the default is Not that (EXT4 vs BTRFS idk i went with BTRFS), but for my media drive, is there any reason i would specifically want to change the file system or should i not?

THE FIRST GOONER MAYOR FOR NYC!?

it's mildly annoying that steam family sharing doesn't let two people play separate things at the same time, though i understand the rationale, but it's still quite nice. i've got ken playing what remains of edith finch rn. i wanna run them through a lot of the narrative indie classics

Ethnic pogroms and daylight terror, torture and death in camps, save your lectures on the strength of this regime until we find the +50,000 humans, thus far, who have been disappeared under the colors of our flag. Reparations and justice will be the proof of their weakness, nothing less.

hey guys check this out

thinking more on this, it's important to remember that bluesky's core mission is developing the protocol. the regulatory challenges that they face (such as all of the language related to the take it down act, for instance) are anti-user hurdles that they are required to surmount to not be shut down.

outfit of the day. think i've posted this one before but idc i look good

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

thinking about the time a cis woman on goodreads told me to kill myself for daring to be trans and read lesbian romance in the funniest way possible

okay AI controversy aside, just talking as a nerd for a second: this is such a cool paper

donald trumps brain is fully cooked, reacting to simple questions with anger, wandering around, pivots a lot to his ballroom after not answering questions, says job numbers and economy look strong, just fully lives in a different reality

quirked up white boy > kirked up white boy. know the difference

One of the most pernicious cissexual myths is that **trans ppl** are obsessed w gender when the average cis woman would never think of wearing a bow tie and the average cis man gets angry if he has to drink out of a coffee cup w too many dainty flowers glazed on it.

With a dremel, some rubber tubing and such, and a few hours you can turn every charlie kirk statue into a nice fountain

Kirk was a nobody to normal people, but it's now clear how important he was to the right. The dream of post-Steve Bannon conservativism: An influencer presidential candidate. A homegrown Trump. The panic we're seeing is a movement realizing they have nothing to replace Trump's cult of personality.

"donald trump said A Kingdom Of Wine And Thorns was mid, here is a gun, an ammo clip and directions to the white house" and the deed would be done in a week

i frequently don't understand the romance girlies but i have to admit that they don't fuck around

I re-read Letter from a Birmingham Jail the other day and I was struck by just how stunningly brilliant it was not just in writing but strategic thinking. Like, not news, it's a modern classic for a reason. It's just a remarkably clear vision of a strategy to achieve change.

the war on cars is the most important war of our lives

look at what they took from you

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

it's better to think of the useless centrist 'expand the tent but only rightwards' media people & politicians as blockers paid to occupy space that could otherwise be utilized productively by a serious person. their opinions are pre-approved by their donors and will never change

While yes this is bad, keep in mind that there are simply too many of us to all individually persecute even with systematic tools

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

the thing about hot pot, and i know how this sounds, is that personally i just don't want every bite to be that hot

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

barely legal olive oil

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win (h/t @miriamposner.com) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

ya know hate to admit it but reading about mechs has made me want to play armored core vi again. that game was really fucking funny

eds got me falling apart like dry bones after having good sex

mom can you pick me up they're doing a posters strike again

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

The only hot honey I care about is MY WIFE

lot of people immediately able to grasp why this is bad still making excuses for posting on twitter

dawg the ancient greeks really understood the human condition (getting so horny you go on a non-stop, 5 day bender making a sculpture to goon to)

is this how it felt to be muslim following 9/11?

gooning as performance art

No one could’ve seen this coming

“a trans person served me coffee ones in 1983. it was a cold october evening. his-her uhhh their name was Evelyn. he used to be a man called Kyle. i always misgendered him and he got super mad. weird. you’re not like that though, right?”

one reason i don't complain much about bluesky's (terrible) moderation is because you're supposed to hate the mods. there has never been a good mod. best case scenario, a poster sacrifices his humanity and takes on the mantle knowing he will be villified, spat on, name cursed for generations, etc

we're in a national crisis because everyone hates conservatives so much nobody will date them and their families refuse to talk to them; but also we're in a national crisis because our institutions are liberals who don't realize how out of touch they are with the overwhelmingly conservative public

Conservative men are apparently pretending to be liberal and then "coming out" to their progressive girlfriends after dating for months

they don't want you to joke about a man's death but then they're out there saying things like this

i've been thinking a lot about the historical record on this and how hard it will be to communicate that this guy was a fucking nobody

this shit is so embarrassing
