i've seen a lot of people talking about the "pie" adblocker and it sounds pretty awful to me. from what i've heard it has a bunch of pointless features and tries to get you to actually watch ads so it can give you rewards points or something. why would i ever use something like that when ublock origin exists and is most likely much lighter on system resources, doesn't have pointless features, doesn't try to get me to watch ads for monopoly money, and is actually free and open source

anti-transmasculinity and me / 🧵 

There's the label on the tin: transmasculine non-binary. Which some folks read as "man."

Then there's the reality of my appearance: short, large breasted, delicate skin. 99.9% of people read me as "woman."

And then there's fedi.

"Transmisogyny exempt" doesn't exist except in hyper online circles. And y'all who think it does need to go touch some fucking grass.

All trans people are subject to transmisogyny. Transmisogyny is an intersectional marginalization.

Audiobooks don’t count as reading. Reading doesn’t count as reading. Nothing counts as reading. There is no reading. You’re not even reading this. Everything you know is false. Wake up sheeple.

It’s not the start of an oligarchy. We’re in the thick of it.

Can't believe I have to say this authoritarianism is bad.

All of it.

Western leftists need to deal with their boner for USSR and Russia I fucking swear

zionists–and antisemites who pretend to be antizionists–want to flatten 3000 years of history and culture into a less than 200 year old political movement.

I truly believe one day the State of Israel will fall, Palestine will be free, and the majority of Jews will again be non-zionists, just like before the State of Israel existed, it will be reduced back to a fringe nationalist element.

the State of Israel will be a dark chapter in our long history, to which we will say–never again. and we will make our promised land wherever we choose to dwell on this Earth, or off it. and Jews who live in Palestine will do so as neighbors and not as an occupying army, just as it was for thousands of years.

Touching ports with a robot and they try to transfer 2.74TiB of smut

So glad that thousands of dollars that could have gotten people out of homelessness and starvation went to a good cause and ensured that Kamala won the election, because it would be silly to throw all that money away and lose, wouldn't it, it would be really silly to put all your faith in electoral politics fixing all of societies problems if it was possible for it to not go your way

Once again begging people to give up on "if you're not paying for the product you are the product" because I've seen so many people who now think if you are paying for a product your data is totally safe now forever because if I'm paying the company money they don't need to sell my data

When instead they could also sell your data and get Two Money

There should be a rewrite of AFPL to remove rights for the government.

I hope someday programmers will see that corpos shouldnt profit off them and governments shouldn't use their code for war crimes.

ICANN is sucky capitalist crap, openNIC is my baby

hot take 

DisplayPort should be the standard display connector everywhere(, even on servers). VGA and DVI are a fuck to plug in and can only carry low-quality signals; HDMI is proprietary, the HDMI forum(?) is a fuck and the standard lies far behind Display Port, like seriously the supported resolution and refresh rate as well as compactness (DP over USB-C!) are so far beyond.

Just use Display Port, fuck all the other display connectors.

"what's next do you want to be able to install Android on an iPhone and play Halo on a PlayStation" yeah man sure why not
