WiFi connection instructions: "Go to any site that doesn't use SSL to be redirected to the login page."
Yeah ... I ... don't use or even really know of any of those anymore.
Stop being hostile to security!

operating system dependency management is hard let's do that at the programming language level instead
programming language library management is hard let's make virtual machines and do that at the vm level instead
virtual machine image management is hard let's do that at the container level instead
container management is hard let's
I learned today that I have social anxiety, weeee

why organize tech workers?
> why organize? don't you, as a software dev, get paid enough?
1. no, i don't
2. without my knowledge or consent, things i've made have killed people, and my only options were to shrug or quit
3. work should not give you PTSD
4. worker rights and communal welfare is about more than pay. it's about power dynamics, accountability, representation, and taking the craft back from the profiteers who readily dispose of us

I think itβs really telling that finding out someone I donβt know is following someone else I barely know on Twitter is able throw me into a depressed state.

Not all debates are intellectually honest ones to have
If you come in swinging, saying something like "Academics won't let you question whether smoking causes lung cancer"
Maybe that's because the question has been debated, at the highest level, for decades, and the answers and level of confidence are so accessible that even a small amount of research would uncover them
So you're either a boring contrarian who needs to go to the library or you're politically motivated and dishonest

Birdsite crosspost
Oh fuck
RT @elektrotal@twitter.com Reposting this because the hyper focus part is really important. People think of adhd as jumping around like a cross between a caffeineted puppy and a toddler, but the thing is it is super easy to get so tunnel visioned into something you lose track of life

Whenever I feel demoralized and defeated I just listen to Alexander Hamilton and suddenly I feel demoralized and defeated but also capable of anything.

I haven't done an #introduction either... I don't really publish personal information, but here goes what I do share π
I'm a student developer, and I like to create things. I mostly just work on small little projects like extensions for https://github.com/Blockheads-Messagebot/MessageBot and Discord bots and such. I'm trying to make a mastodon bot, but I'm having trouble making it.
You can see my featured projects here: https://wingysam.xyz/
*Shameless Plug*
Add my discord bot! https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=291650980578197506&scope=bot

Fascism, cry for help
Sorry for my absence. I'm fighting fascism right now. Things are serious in Brazil. A black man was murdered, stabbed 12 times while the murderer yelled the name of the fascist candidate. A girl with a t-shirt against the candidate was kidnapped by 3 men, who beat her and draw the Nazi symbol on her with a knife.
We are forming a resistance. However, Brazil needs you. We are afraid. This is a cry for help. Search for news about Brazil and share them of you can, please.

Hey, can I just say, because capitalist propaganda is so hard to unlearn:
If you have a job, any kind of job at all, I'm so proud of you. This shit is hard. Working, period, is hard.
And if you don't have a job? That doesn't make you lesser than the people who do have one.
We all deserve the same level of respect as human beings. Capitalism fails to uphold what should be a law of human rights.

be the gay crime you want to see in the word
I'd like to contribute to open-source software sometime.
However, my skills as a software developer have always been a point of insecurity for me, and that combined with the knowledge of just how toxic the community can be makes me genuinely afraid of doing anything.

Semi-joking. Fuck politics.
Benefits of authoritarianism.
1. You don't have to listen to two totally closed-minded political entities scream at each other.
1. a. Politics is banned.
1. b. arguments are banned,
2. Do you really need any other reason? This sounds like utopia.
FYI the I hate the term "normie" and I'll either be calling out that shit or blocking you if you use it.
I get attacked for how many followers I have but somehow I'm "petulant" π.
Well at least I don't have to deal with that work of art again.

Windows update bug thoughts
People who live in glass houses probably shouldn't throw stones.
I've lost count over the past decade of the number of times I've had botched updates render my Linux box unbootable or found the file backups I setup weren't ones I could decrypt or recover from.
Windows 10 has restore points, file history & OneDrive to fall back on. We often don't have equivalents unless we manually set that up for ourselves.
We also only have <1% desktop users to annoy with breakage.
