it's really cool how the usa famously for being vehemently violent against immigrants have a green card system which lets you just marry into citizenship whereas in the uk to marry into not citizenship but only a visa to allow you to work at all in the uk you have to have eighteen thousand pound per year salary and you can only fill that eighteen thousand pound per year with british-recognized salary which means working in the uk which you cannot do without a visa and to get a visa you need to-
Okay, story time. I was asked for the tale of my laser eye injury, so here you go. I'm fine. Customers were fine. No children were harmed. The only victims were me and Bob's career. https://www.funraniumlabs.com/2024/07/how-i-got-my-laser-eye-injury/
i have never had to block on mastodon as often as i used to on twitter until the #mastodonforharris #mastodon4harris #actblue spam
anyway Click here to donate to the Official Kamala Harris Presidential Campaign
theres got to be a secret linux that i've never heard of, which costs $99, comes on two DVD-ROMs, has a team of hundreds of developers who have created a polished and professional distribution with good supported software and hardware, and has millions of happy users who don't ever experience anything even remotely like "xrandr command no longer working and your screens are in the wrong place after an update" or "sound not working after an update" or "updates not working after an update"
at the resolution i want these posters the way tou downscale them makes a massive difference
every new and successively more inane javascript framework that came out in the last 15 years was another salvo for google's embrace-extend strategy to "make the web so Fucked Up that the task of creating a browser with less than 30 million lines of code becomes impossible", and you all fell for it! maybe like 9 web developers pushed back against the 25,000 monthly blog posts extolling the virtues of yet another new way to do something on a computer which they had already solved at xerox in 1977
i'm not crazy about the downscaling algo so i'm gonna play with it. i made it full res obv but it's narsty because it was meant to be downscaled
https://piston-meta.mojang.com/ is down so nobody can play minecraft at the moment 👍
cuz like, here's the deal, okay
i actually sat down and caculated all mutual aid posts that i could find in the span of one hour of scrolling the hash
and the total number of money that would be needed to solve all of them would be around $100k, plus-minus 50k more.
that's less than half what was donated to harris. in mere DAYS.
this is what angers me the most - our pain is completely unnecessary, it's solvable, but it is manufactured by indifference, hubris and bigotry.
i need people to seriously understand that if you manage to raise 500,000 USD for a political donation, you will be doing massively more good in many ways if you just give that money away, in 1000 to 2000 usd blocks to people who are homeless and need to make a deposit on housing, there is no political donation that will ever do remotely as much good as helping one homeless person get a warm place to sleep #mastodon4harris
i wish i could see firsthand when my posts get reported cause our instance admins are fucking laughing over it with me
scourge of the fediverse, retired computer fairies founder (2017-2021), drone #6502, official amiga mascot, begrudgingly making a return to the fediverse to upset those who told us to leave. i've been here longer than you.
