So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways
Just use me up and then you walk away
Boy, you can't play me that way

Shinigami Eyes is an important safety tool for queer people online. If you undermine it by making it so its users have to double-check if a person is ACTUALLY transphobic or not, you’re doing a disservice to everybody who needs it.

There’s an asshole on octodon (no real way to know who it is) abusing shinigami eyes by marking people such as Aer0h and packetcat as transphobic.

If you’re doing this you’re a piece of shit.

If you notice on your server that people are marked as transphobic just bc they’re not white and outspoken about the racism they face even if it happens to come from other queer people, please mark them as neutral or trans-friendly.

🇪🇺🔥 German MEP Daniel Freund delivered a scathing critique of Viktor Orbán, calling him the "most corrupt politician in the EU."

"Mr. Orbán, you've stolen at least €14 billion, built stadiums and palaces instead of schools and roads. No more EU funds for Hungary until the theft stops. We want our money back!"

He even called for a European arrest warrant.

I made a histogram of wealth distribution in the United States, using the Forbes 400 list that just came out. Almost the entire US population is in the red line at the left, one pixel wide. To fit Elon Musk on the graph, each pixel is $500 million wide. In other words, from the perspective of the very rich, $0 and $500 million look the same.

I've been hacking the radio in my 2013 Subaru Outback, here's what I've found so far:
- It runs on Windows CE 5.0
- The main GUI is powered by a single HUGE Adobe Flash program (ActionScript!)
- The CPU is a 32bit SuperH SH-4A architecture (SH7780) running at 500MHz
- There's a custom ASIC on board which appears to multiplex access to SDRAM?
- The Bluetooth module (CK5050+) runs Linux and is likely more powerful than the main CPU lol

If COVID has taught us anything, it's that people should be wearing masks in all healthcare settings, COVID or not.

In addition, if you're coughing or experiencing any other symptoms and can't stay home, please ensure you wear a mask wherever you go.

It doesn't matter if it's COVID or not, it's a matter of respect to try to do everything within your power to not expose others to whatever you may have.

tired: it's your own fault if the TLD your organization depends on evaporates for unrelated political reasons entirely out of your control
