hi it's me, your locally undesignated wordsmith! in today's wordsmithing, one not of my own but I thought worthy of known: robo-scab

(cred to @dgerard for linking upskeet that got me finding this. also I was so close; close but no cigar, I guess)

eyeballing the orange site top-frontpage, and:

shit should come with a strain warning

listen all you need to understand it is yud's ghost personally whispering over your shoulder at every thought, it's really quite approachable

is graphology the pentaseptateragonoid spiderweb-dartboard-connect-the-spines thing?

I recall seeing an article in the last week or so, regarding a right-wing associated group taking aim at these. will see if I can find that again

ah yeah @fasterandworse found this when it was happening (and I pulled archives of the live streams on the days it was playing)

some further observations to the stuff in her writeup: the day1 livestream also “starts late” (and cuts suspiciously cleanly in mid-sentence). I still want to do some tests to find out if YouTube’s live editor allows editing out stream history while stream is going, but either way they made very sure that they could completely silence that talk if it turned out that she didn’t bend as forced

(the now-up video published on youtube definitely starts differently to the livestream, too, so it’s likely a local post-mix recording that got uploaded. I haven’t had time to review both and find possible differences)

stumbled over this in my feed earlier, looks interesting

Always good when people bring up ‘trans ideology’.

I wish I'd stored the link somewhere but some years back I hit one of those Twitter Expositionary Threads about (one of?) the roots of this shit, the read focusing on "the nation question" (and then breaking it out both in historical context, and the various ways it got latterly repurposed by ghouls)

and every single fucking time I see some fucker post about "the $x ideology", I flash back to the that thread, and the knowledge gained from it

On a personal sidenote

do you keep count/track? the moleskine must be getting full!

 

seen via this

might be a cool thing some here may enjoy contributing to

 

Just ran across this and figured I’d link to people, looks interesting

 

I forgot to post it here earlier but it's revision weekend!

 

in the spirit of this post, but from the other side

I have a shitdroid that I can't root because the vendor sucks, but google can go fuck themselves too. combined with that I haven't androided much for about a decade and know nothing about the current ecosystem.. I'm looking for good alternatives to a few things. free/foss preferred but I'm pragmatic over picky - if there's a good paid option I'm willing to consider it

immediate known requirements include contact sync, calendar (more business than personal but either works if it's good). maybe also other things I should know about?

judicuous preference to things that support open protocols and self-hosting (i.e. anything that has to use their service to operate - no go)

tell me about good apps! I know about syncthing and photosync

 

some of the sub’s friends are holding a conference although they’re still not totally comfortable to go public:

but buyers are warned that purchases will “require approval”

aww, the poor babies. even with literal nazis in the whitehouse they still feel uncomfortable to spout their weird shit

hopefully if this thing happens at all, someone documents the everliving hell out of every attendee

some months ago I mentioned I couldn’t see comments in safari but could in fx (on ios). figured it out now: the 1Blocker “disable comments” filter sweepingly includes lemmy comment field types, but for some reason only on safari and not fx (despite apple forcing engine as they do)

the fix: add awful.systems as an allowed domain inside 1Blocker config

 

the precision and clarity are astounding

by the time the hilbert curves got there my mouth was hanging open, and it still gets better

 

Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

'cuz I definitely do

 

“stepping away because I want to create the time and space to do my own exploration.”

yeah I completely believe you, weird lady. I too want to vaguely step into the warm embrace of my piles of ill-gotten gold, forgetting about the stressors of how to sell something that doesn’t exist and that you helped claim would be here really soon now. ahhh, bliss..

one’s gotta wonder about the timing of this announcement, right? like come the fuck on

 

I will say I'm not much of a fan of mysqls but uhhhhh this seems bad
