a disheveled girl stumbles out of the datacenter wearing nothing other than a loincloth fashioned out of cat5 cable, carrying a spear made out of a pipe and a shaved down SFP+ module… she just screams “kubernetes!” and scurries away, back into the data forest

she is… the feral software engineer

If you got suspended from birdchan today look on the bright side. You're here just in time for #BlackFriday on #BlackMastodon

Can confirm, twitter blocks links to berlin.social as well.

Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

If there is no war on Christmas, I'm going to feel pretty silly standing here with this bayonet.

Do you ever have the sinking feeling that you are competing for attention against a tiny, plastic, glowing rectangle in the hands of the person next to you? And you try to be flashier and louder than the distraction on their palms but change your mind because you don't want to interrupt?

Yeah, but what a great tweet to go out on!

So if you want to deactivate your Twitter account but don't know how apparently the simplest way to do it is to mention @elonjet?

Everything he ever said about 'free speech' was nothing but lies and bullshit. Unfortunately, many fell for his hot garbage spew.

So Elmo doesn’t really believe in free speech.

‘Twitter abruptly suspends more than half a dozen journalists’
https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/12/15/twitter-journalists-suspended-musk/

Remember: Twitter is Elon's company, he has the free speech and free association right to run it pretty much however he wants and to ban people for petty narcissistic reasons.

And we have the right to laugh and point at his ridiculousness and at the free-speech pretenses of his gullible fans.

More: Three men were sentenced Thursday to serve a minimum of seven to 12 years in prison for providing material aid to terrorists and being members of a gang in connection with the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen #Whitmer. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/12/15/three-men-sentenced-in-michigan-gov-whitmer-kidnapping-plot/69709773007/

Oh dear. MTG just got called out by none other than Steve Bannon after she let slip the Godfather-inspired nickname House Republicans have for themselves.

That's not the flex you think it is, Marge. 😂

It is possible to find your inner power.
It is possible to forgive.
It is possible to clear the mind.
It is possible to throw out the bitterness in the deepest bin.
It is possible to let fresh air pass through your lungs one more time.
AFFIRM YES

🧑🏼‍🎄please boost🧑🏻‍🎄

Shooting stars across Yr Wyddfa and a frozen Llyn Y Dywarchen last night. So many shooting stars, I almost ran out of wishes for every one!

Bitterly cold, but crystal clear and bright. I'm sure I might, maybe, just about, have heard sleigh bells in the distance...🎅

@aravosis It used to be.

Mind, if you hurl the exact same insult at Elmo, expect to be banned within the hour, or less.

The one thing I am kinda weirdly #thankful & happy about, being #ImmunoCompromised / #ImmuneSuppressed?
Wearing #cute #DisposableMasks. Srsly.
Mind as well find something that #BringsJoy to me, right? 😄
This is pretty much my life going forward when I go out now so why not splurge? 😅

FYI: these masks come from a Canadian company called Viral Clean.:

Know how we know these comments are grounded in white supremacy—not national security?

Right now there are 600,000+ undocumented immigrants in America from Canada & Europe—when was the last time you heard MAGA call for a northern border wall or travel ban from Europe?🤔

That’s the complexion for protection. An ask again to demand Dems pass DACA protections before Jan 3. Do not leave DACA’s fate to MAGA extremists: https://bit.ly/3YedKtj

russia's strategy is clearly to extend their war as long as possible, hoping that the world tires of supporting Ukraine.

Give us the weapons we need now, so we can end this war soon.

We will be free, and you will never have to worry about russian threats again.
