@dreadpirateyarr its almist like being a bigot is a choice 🤔
basically, don't use the fediverse for anything you wouldn't want coming up in a court of law, because it's not secure for that. It's just not a tool that's built for secure political organizing. There's ongoing discussion about potentially making it secure, but that doesn't have an easy solution for a bunch of technical reasons, so for now it's just not. Use Signal or another encrypted, secure chat app. Don't harbor any illusions that you can discuss anything seditious on here safely.
but at the same time, fuck cops, we should 100% be banning them from being on the fediverse, not because it will make our information more secure, but because fuck them, we don't want them around here. It's not a matter of infosec, but a matter of not wanting to associate with the bastards. Come back with a warrant or not at all, asshole.
Ask yourself: Will the people who need this cw really change because I threw this thing on their timeline? Does this person really deserve to be triggered?

Minecraft technical help requested
Hi everyone, I was wondering if one of you kind and technical people can help me? I'm trying to use Minecraft on Linux Mint but all I get is it constantly saying Preparing... with no activity even after an hour once I've clicked Play.
Any advice would be useful please, thank you!

Article on the people responsible for causing vaping illness
wow so Leafly apparently did a bunch of investigative journalism (!) and has identified a specific company called Honey Cut that was selling E Acetate by the liter, marketing it specifically as a THC cutting agent.
fucking hell.
Heteronormativity, cisnormativity, reproduction.
Straights are not required for the continuation of the human species.
Gay cis people often have functioning reproductive systems, and are able to use them in a variety of ways. Bisexual and pansexual cis people also exist.
Furthermore, cis people are also not required for the continuation of the human species.
Non-cis people have varying degrees of comfort with their own reproductive processes. It is possible for a non-cis person to be in a relationship and also have a functioning reproductive system.
Humanity could live on even if all het, cis, or cishet people were stranded on an island that was eventually destroyed by a volcano.
Indigenous representation?
Indian Country Today — a media outlet covering Indian Country that was on hiatus less than two years ago — has roared back to life, opening bureaus in Anchorage, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C., in addition to a partnership with the Associated Press.
The AP partnership represents the first time that a mainstream news service will distribute stories published by a Native American publication. In addition, the groundbreaking Associated Press partnership will enable stories that appear in reservation newspapers and are published by Indian Country Today to also be distributed on the AP’s wire service.
