When I want to give visibility to an awful post, I just link to it in my own one, prefixed by a bitter and awry comment.

I also wish social networks were designed differently, but it's too late.

It’s a nice time not to be built on Wordpress.

You may be entitled to compensation.

If you’re pro AI tools, and also anti-publishers putting content behind a paywall, the technical term for what you are is an utter fucking idiot.

Current state of American politics: actual dog killers claiming other people eat dogs and are mean to dogs.

The mental gymnastics required to be both 'pro-life' and pro-death penalty are unforgivable Olympic levels of fuckery

Dayum!

very simply put:

#procrastination is when you put off tasks because your todo list overwhelms you.

#avolition is when you can't even do basic everyday tasks like brushing your teeth or getting out of bed.

#anhedonia is when you can't do any basic tasks and can't even distract yourself with time killers, because absolutely nothing can bring you any pleasure.

#lazyness is what giant assholes call any of the above.

And while publishers generally demand Microsoft Word compatible DOCX files so that their production workflow can be standardized [...] nothing much has changed since 2013 when I wrote about why Microsoft Word must Die. (TLDR: it's a terrible tool, and if the only good argument for using it is that everyone else uses it, then you might as well eat shit like all the trillion other houseflies.)

«No obstante, el eurodiputado de ultraderecha Alvise Pérez, líder de la plataforma Se Acabó La Fiesta, ha votado este jueves en el Parlamento Europeo en contra de las subvenciones al toro de lidia por considerarlo un espectáculo de “brutalidad, crueldad y tortura”, en una posición muy diferente a la de PP y Vox.»

We USians do not like to be reminded of the Chicago Haymarket Massacre, or our government systematically dismembering labour rights and organizations. Gov’t does not want us to know other countries are different, or to listen when the world talks about labour benefits and issues. So US Labour Day is intensely focused on outdoor family activities, & US Memorial Day outdoors at parades and picnics.

Meanwhile, Arbor, Earth, and National Parks Days are normal school/work days.

I would like to unironically thank Elon Musk for taking an almost unimaginable amount of wealth from this list of terrible people and vaporizing it.

Fidelity recently valued what was initially a $19.66 million Twitter stake in its Blue Chip Growth Fund at about 72 percent less than when Musk purchased Twitter, a valuation that has remained relatively steady. The Post applied the 72 percent drop to the initial investor stakes reported in filings to the SEC as well as public comments and individual confirmations of entities’ involvement.

The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.

Es que de hecho ocurre que es una balanza presupuestaria muy clara: si el estado se endeuda, las familias no lo hacen; si el estado no se endeuda, lo tienen que hacer las familias. Vivimos en un sistema económico impulsado por el crédito, lo queramos o no; y la relación entre los estados y las familias en cuanto a la deuda es casi de vaso comunicante.

@stefano Several years ago I encountered something similar. Got a notification from the security company that their internal scans had identified an insecure version of OpenSSH on the network. After a bit of poking, my team identified the host in question. It was the security company's OWN APPLIANCE.

We promptly turned the device off and stopped paying them.
