"technically possible" ≠ "ethically responsible"

Did you know that #linux isn't electronic? It is mad of pipes, socks, files, handles, tar, even evil spirits called demons. There's only one electron, but it's big and slow!

FreeBSD 

Odd things about my FreeBSD install: tap-to-click is no problem, but I can't scroll with my trackpad, with two-finger or edge

I've decided to start using a Picrew avi. I'm keeping my display name constant for now to avoid any undue confusion, but eventually, I figure I'll probably change my display name to some variant on Kat (or I'll go back to an Aura avi)

Continuing my thoughts on left unity from last night, it is worth saying that there should be some manner of unity between libertarian leftists. Ancoms and syndicalists, for instance, for all their differences, should work together. It may even be of worth to bring some democratic socialists and social democrats into the fold. What it's not worth doing is pretending that we should be allying with authoritarians. History shows again and again that it only turns out poorly.

A lot has been said on leftist infighting. But here's something that's worth repeating: a lot of "leftist infighting" is actually libertarian leftists (rightly) attacking authoritarian leftists. Like, guys. Come on. Unlike the "libertarian" right, we're not going to ally with a bunch of people who'd just as soon kill us off for ideological reasons in the name of some BS notion of "left unity". We see through your ploy and (rightly) reject you.

contrapoints 

You know how sometimes some of us like to joke about minor inconveniences being transphobia? Like "Ouch! I stubbed my toe! This is transphobia!" Contra complaining about how "inconvenient" it is to have to state her pronouns is what happens when you decide that that joke should be an actual complaint.

Spicier, still probably unoriginal take on the Incredibles 2 

The Incredibles 2 is fascist propaganda

Incredibly mild (for this platform), probably unoriginal take on the Incredibles 2 

The Incredibles 2 is a movie where the bad guys win, but because we've been socially conditioned to see the bad guys of the movie as the good guys and to see any form of violence by non-state-endorsed actors (such as the "villian" of the film) as bad, we think that the good guys win.

the gender binary is a scam there's no reason to buy the big-name genders when you can make your own at home

the two hardest problems in computer science are off by one errors, naming variables and rampant misogyny

Absolute king.

On July 1, 1943 Willem was executed by Nazis for bombing a Dutch public records office preventing the nazis from identifying a huge number of Dutch Jews.

His last words were "Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards."

Eternal love and respect. 🖤🏴🗡

Oh cool so contrapoints just straight up hates non-binary people and wishes non-passing trans people would shut the fuck up about pronouns because, and get this shit

When people ask about her pronouns it makes her feel less valid *now that she's passing*

Fuck contrapoints.
