Found this online and wanted to share it with you guys. Things have been a little rough lately for me and when I saw this it made me feel so much better. I hope it can help someone else out there https://redd.it/dn9ddt
This weekend, the hunting season for ptarmigans has begun in #Iceland.
There is an unfortunate asynchronicity between the ptarmigan feathers (which are already moulting from camouflage brown to white alpine realness) and Iceland’s actual weather changes – snow is usually a couple of more weeks away.
I had an encounter with a particularly fierce and gutsy ptarmigan mom this summer, so here’s hoping she's keeping all her fluffballs safe during these dangerous weeks ahead 🌨️🤞

Hallo Menschen! Ich habe noch ein Ticket für den #36C3 über.
Damit möchte ich einer nicht cis-männlichen Person, die sich den Congress sonst nicht leisten könnte, die Teilnahme ermöglichen.
Insbesondere, wenn du noch nie da warst, darfst du mich auch gerne mit Fragen löchern (jetzt und am Event)
Ticket ist da, ich übernehme auch die Kosten für dein Bahnticket und für die vom Club organisierte Übernachtung in den Schulen.
Wenn das auf dich zutrifft, bist du herzlich willkommen dich zu melden.

#TodayILearned: Closed source is the new carbon!
At least when it comes to #IoT:
German startup Locumi Labs files for bankruptcy, shutting down its servers and turning all of its “Nello one” smart locks into heaps of e-waste.
So... what's our closed source phase-out plan again...?

A.I.nktober prompts are live! Now you have your choice between the official list of reasonable #Inktober prompts, or these entirely bonkers A.I. generated lists.

Eventually I received an official certificate with my name on it, which felt like finding the Last Golden Ticket to the chocolate factory: a palpable reservation confirmation for my trip to the moon!
Down at the bottom, in small print, it was signed by the travel agency: #ThomasCook.
So… as much as I feel for the people stuck in their holiday resorts right now – they have no idea what it feels like to be stuck on Earth. For good. 🚀 🌕

As a kid the #moon was very dear to me.
One day I discovered this article in a magazine, detailing plans about setting up a touristic infrastructure up there, and how you could already be waitlisted for the first civilian flight in 2028.
There were numerous adultist obstacles to overcome, but I moved heaven and hell to get on that list. I knew it would be incredibly expensive, but I also knew that I would become that famous comic artist and that I still had decades to figure that out.

Pride.com’s priceless advice on how gay guys get a second date:
Find “silly“ and “taboo“ common interests like “still reading comics as adults“.
Nothin’ like a weird-ass kink to bond with one another, right? 🙄

We see cyberpunk as humans having augmentations - but really cyberpunk would be *not* having augmentations in a world where most people do.
Because cyberpunk is rejecting the norm of letting big corps and the powerful few control your life.
Just like today where the _most_ cyberpunk people are those using Tor, coreboot, turning off the TPM, disabling WiFi and blowing open closed source firmware.
Not people with Google Glass & and an Internet connected toaster/car/watch.
