... you mean like an ISP?
yeah I know but it doesn't have to be through an ISP, if you found some kind of
mesh network. I'm sure someone's set up a 100 second tutorial.
true, I guess, so what you're asking for is an alternative to... btrfs? I only
sorta know what that means
no its like, ntfs, or is it ipfs? I forget, the acronyms swirl into one, and
suddenly you forget someone's email signature.
how are you gonna get ahold of them ? all your friends from the 90s? c'mon
dummies you gotta keep in touch with one another.
what the heck is everyone's deal, if you can't easily get in contact with
anyone you've ever known, how the heck are you going to neatly integrate your
stories together? it's mutually cooperative for people to learn from one
another, and people who are exposed to another's life in different stages of
their life (child, adult) are the people who learn thmost.

if you ever hear random fireworks outside of your house sometimes it's a good
idea to like... get out of town? and see what whoever else you can meet in the
next town over is doing.
... I don't have a car, silly me haha
why do we train homeless people to stand outside in the open and be shamed by a
cardboard box around their ancle? It's impossible to recover from, it's
vulnerabilizing, and it's painful. How immoral. How crude. These people should
not be shamed in this way, they should be respected (unless they're crude)
like, if they kinda just suck y'know? like... they keep starting fights or is
soooo bad at singing but does it anyway or lacks all decent sense
seriously, he's such a bad candidate why is he even running. It's solely to
elect vance, who trump will be a blood sacrifice for.
how callous. how vain. to think that such a feast would be left unclaimed.

bash script that automatically streams music to your computer and plays it on
audio devices
and also sets up a screen-streaming system where it displays the screens of
everyone listening on like, a "security camera panel at the mall" type of deal
so they can customize the music being streamed for each individual person
playing video games or whatever.
like "hello computer, all is well. can you tell me what narrative this person
is going through and then can you recommend a song for that particular purpose"
and then nobody uses it because it's recommendations suck and are always
picking fleur de lis or whatever because it's a "good song" for listening to or

people will generally go about their daily lives as if nothing has changed so
long as nothing for them has changed.
If you want to compel action, their lives must be made different somehow. Even
if that's just... talking to them outside of the grocery store. A little bit
can go a long way.
And when they do end up acting, I think you'll find that it's in your favor.
We're the good guys, after all.

there are plenty of pieces of linux that are insecure in some way. Including
x11, if I remember correctly. It is purely convention to not abuse these
insecurities, and whenever you use someone else's binary software you trust
that they won't betray you in some way.
pre-built binaries are privacy violations and should be illegal. They are
security threats because the model they're built upon is necessarily insecure.
Computers will never be completely secure because of how they are built, and so
we should use locally compiled software and interpreted scripts.
Unless they're too long, or impossible to read. Who reads EULAs these days? At
least those are written in english.
maybe computers aren't worth it. Maybe computers will solve all our problems.
Who can say, maybe you should ask an oracle like me
though do remember that anything you hear can and will be used against you,
monkey's paw style. So maybe, like... don't? unless you're into magic or
schizophrenia or something

people are so used to "liking" things to better inform their algorithm that
when they get to fediverse and realize there's no mechanical impact of "liking"
things they don't know how to use it anymore. So they generate their own
meaning, which is different to everyone.
So to one person, liking something might mean "send read receipt" for another
it might mean "I'm gonna save this forever and ever" and for another person it
could mean "hey I think you're cool and I agree with this"
same for boosting, people think it's "I want to share this" and others think
it's "I want to say this in your voice" and for others it's "this needs to be
heard by my followers in particular" and it's just... a whole thing
even replies are complicated, do they mean you want to say what you feel or are
they part of the post now, and should be curated by the original poster? it's
too complicated!
... how are you overwhelmed by reading and responding with three little
buttons, it's not that hard dummy
okay but maybe I'm just dum

we could accomplish so much, but capitalism.
hmmmm, maybe we should identify the highest output members of our team and
like, reduce or eliminate their worries so they can apply themselves fully and
completely?
for every shackle we break, the struggle becomes easier. The hardest part is
the beginning - once the ball is rolling, we may truly shine.
there is no government nor circle of autocrats who may resist the will of an
impassioned people. So long as the military does not deny us our right to
organize ourselves as we will, according to the constitution they swore to
uphold (which is now in peril, I might add), nothing can contain us.
no acts of god nor capital shall prevent our ascension. They will try, and
it'll be just another thing that we have to handle.
But we can take care of each other. For we are good, and we are kind, and we
are cooperative. And so, we cannot be overcome.
... just watch out for those who prey on goodness, kindness, and cooperation.
They may hamper us.

violence is legal in self-defence.
nazis want to kill me and my community.
punching nazis is self defence?
it's communal defence, for they present a clear and present danger to the
community.
You know the guy in the vietnam movies who shows up and fires over the enemy's
head because he doesn't want to kill anyone? That's justified, though it might
mean he'd die.
He isn't fighting in communal defence. His community was safe from the
vietnamese farmers and countryfolk who wanted nothing to do with imperialism,
only to govern themselves their way. Too bad that sounds like communism, and
the USSR was keen on funding the most violent amongst them if it meant another
state for capitalism to contest.
Nazis are not farmers. They are not countryfolk. They wear suits and they
deceive these people into fighting for them. They are liars and they enslave
the minds of those they can catch in their web of despair.
they want to hurt you is surprisingly motivating.

picture this: the governments of the world knew that a world-ending comet was
approaching, and they didn't tell anyone else who was on the earth.
it was made out of ice and it was 2x the size of the moon, and somehow through
random chance it just decided to visit our part of the solar system
so they decided to test and see if god exists
by not telling anyone and seeing if anyone would save us
rather than risk the potential capability to prove without a doubt that a god
did truly exist, (essentially, invoking divine intervention) they chose to work
out a technical or otherwise humanly possible way of avoiding harm. in this
case (or as some call it, meta-confluential scenario), by sacrificing
themselves for a larger goal, they altered the course of the naturally occuring
narrative.
this implies choice. which all humans have, but is now confirmed for all time.
okay moving on, in sector Z quadrant 2048 there's a species that's~

extra-dimensional beings can use neutrinos to align particles to slowly mass
predict stories of our kind.
or maybe just a bit of godlike power, when arranged over hundreds of millions
of years, all wielding determinism to create the present.
A non-free-will civilization could bootstrap non-determinism by creating a
dyson sphere with a few planets in the center. Then, just throw a zillion
perfectly aimed neutrinos at it using time-magic to determine what should go
where. BOOM free instant civilized lifeforms. Well, "instant" because it takes
millions of years to form, but hey! the experiment was a success! Humans
believe in things abstractly! Can you believe that.

I hear drums in my dreams. Like a vast stampede, we with our pink and
blue-green do proceed. Bannermen to inspire the fight, heroes and saviors who
run to the plight, but bound as we are by our biology and the fact that
humanity is typically pretty cis-neuro-typical, means no struggles are won with
the battle drums of a roving band of twinks and crossdressers.
when I think of parades to be proud of, I think of rolling wagon wheels of
steel, affixed to a train-like-motorcart, strong in conviction and vibrant in
our strength, from the back of which we do proclaim: "Nazi punks fuck off"
I think of the feathers in the hair of those who dance in defiance of the light
of the moon, warm and replete in the bonfire's radiance. I think of this vast
and beautiful land, the land which I cherish above all else for it is the land
of my home. I think of a war tribe, wandering like bandits but kind to our own
kind, with endless colors and sparkles abound.
The war tribe of solid clouds and the miracle horned rainbow pony

growing up, my family were the most commonly marginalized group of people I can
think of: outsiders
we came to develop friendships, and we found some. But their grandparents
didn't have any stories about us, so we were thought of less.
and then we moved away.
to the city, where my father had developed wanderlust.
we lived in the suburbs just north-south of the east-west highway.
it was different, but sorta the same. My parents wanted to give me more space
to roam. on a farm homestead it's much more controlled but on a smaller scale.
Then, in the city, the equivalent of that is either to live in the mountains or
the barns, and both of those are a-typical experiences.
difficult to start up business in the middle of the fields. most people just
tend to themselves.
except the people they talk to on their little computer.

through wikipedia locally for portable data and historical accessing purposes.

I usually just repost it and say something like: [stolen from reddit] or
[stolen from one of my followers who didn't write any alt text]
that way if they ever come across your post they'll know what it feels like to
have a post stolen from them. Like how a blind person, happy to hear-read what
they originally posted, but aggrieved from the conversation by their lack of
alt-textual information, might feel stolen from if they happened across that
originally posted alt-textless post.
there are more blind people that use mastodon than queer people. At least,
that's what I once heard. Dunno if it's true.

whether you eat halloween candy by the handful or savor each and every bite,
what matters most for tooth decay is duration
1 person who spends 2 hours eating a snickers bar is going to get more cavities
than someone who spends 10 minutes eating 22.
but your stomach doesn't care when you ate them, only that you ate quite a few.
Meaning you're likely to either get sick, or put on a pound or twenty-two.
I think it's better to try many different tiny little treats, but always
remember that the time you spend consuming bits of the sugar dimension add up,
and eventually your time will come to resign yourself to a fate with little
candy remaining, for you've grown too old for such childish things as tasty
yummy splendor.
old, or fat. Heh heh heh, can you imagine that? your belly sticks out from
under your hat! how cute. But dearie, dont you know that every pound you bear
is another that you have to carry around with you? It can be useful sometimes
to be so prepared, and othertimes not. I trust you know that.

and hey throw in the idea that profit MUST be utilized to improve the operation
of the business somehow, because the wage of the employees IS the profit
including the wage of the shareholders, who are employees that contribute their
insight and collective will. (two tasks which frankly are much better suited to
the employees doing the work, I might add)

people must still be valued for their old skills. they chose those skills for a
reason, and they must be rewarded for their persistent proficient passion.
if the new tools accomplish the same goal, perhaps it's a UI/X problem that
keeps them from using their old skills.
if the new tools do not accomplish the same goal, then the worker is not truly
obsolete. They are simply in the wrong job at the wrong time, but that's easy
enough to fix by simply putting them in the right job. It's always the right

... No matter how much you manipulate matter, there is still going to be the
same amount of grams if you keep it within a closed system.
Capital is much the same way. One does not truly "produce" value. All one can
do is apply energy to the material contents of the Earth in order to transform
it into something useful. ...
it sounds like you are referring to our collective ownership of the earth, as
humans, who are the fruit of mother nature's most prolific and complicated
leaves.
we are all alone here together on this ball of rock, might as well use the
minerals and sunlight to build ourselves a garden of eden. We built computers -
what other wonders might our technologies unlock?

democracy works best with a well-informed populace, and those who are against
democracy would do anything to make it harder to be "well-informed" - including
diluting the pool of candidates in order to make it harder to research them.
... Or maybe it was the first time and none of the candidates realized they'd
be running against so many people? I'm not sure, I'm on the other side of
forest park and I had at most 5ish options, and no ranked choice voting. : (
I think this might be one of the reasons political parties formed, way back in
the distant days of yore. Much easier to say "I agree with this group of people
so I'm voting for who they champion" than "I don't know how to pick between 30+

maybe the user could tell their client what fields to expect and how to present
them (like, a field called "memes" would be presented as a picture in this
panel, a field called "rants" would be passed to a word-cloud function that
extracts the most common 6+ letter words so you can tell at a glance what the
rant is about, this other field could be for calendar invites (plain text of
course, but interpreted by the calendar program) etc)
plus, if it's encrypted with PGP keys by default, there'd be few security
concerns. Unless your friend got hacked, or you got hacked, but, well... make
sure everything's sandboxed and don't do any remote code execution and you're

what if we added a tier between cities and states and said that all "big
cities" had the government that the states once had, the states had the
government that the nation once had, and some new awesome other kind of
government replaces the federal one
the world is just too big for a nation the size of ours. there's too many
people, too many problems, and too great are the differences between us - we
need another layer of abstraction to handle this mess.

last month I found a desk fan by the dumpster that seemed to be in pretty good
condition. So I brought it inside and took it apart. I couldn't get it working
though, so it sat on my floor for 3ish weeks in many pieces. One day I decided
to turn it on and it worked for some reason?? and tonight I just got it all
re-assembled and working. It works! I'm so glad.

how cherished is she
that wanders with the
flowers in the garden of eden
under a big tree
her heart she will leave
with all her designs she abandoned
I lay beside them and wander beside her
will she know we miss her horizons
I think she will mind,
if I have resigned,
my fate to a life I will hide in,
oh how I do long for you.
her symbol is the name that lets us belong here,
a falling, a light, and a leaving,
if only our words were listened.
but power is penance,
and repentance is all that I have chosen.
here in our sanctum we live with our only
and time will be gracious towards us
it's only our words that keep us
confined to our lights and our lonely
yet there and beyond, her lights do belong,
beyold in the land that is sanctum
here and before us is our own dark forest
where we keep our silence to ward us
but there and beyond, her heart does move on,
free from her moments of longing,
silent were we, in our forest we plead,
as terror has come for our moments
I think I will find her, that cherished belonging
when she does at last come to warn us,
how little we find, of thoughts from her mind,
yet now we are kings of our own time.
oh how she does long for you.
how cherished is she
that wanders with the
flowers in the garden of eden
under a big tree
her heart she will leave
with all her designs she abandoned
I lay beside them and wander beside her
will she know we miss her horizons
I think she will mind,
if I have resigned,
my fate to a life I will hide in,
oh how I do long for you.

if you wear a quilt upon your skin as you sleep each night, you will inevitably
find that it has grown yellow from the sweat, that it is worn from the
friction, that it frays from the toenails, and it thins from the moisture.
You'll need to wash it, which damages it still, and soon you'll find yourself
replacing it - this heirloom you deliver to landfill.
but, if you wear a sheet underneath, you'll find that all you need to wash and
replace is a thin piece of fabric.
democracy is a quilt, society is the stuffing that keeps you warm, and voting
is the sheet underneath that works to keep things clean.
unless, of course, you sneak into your ex-husbands house while he's at work and
spread grease on-top of the sheet. If you fill his warmth with butter he might
find it harder to vote his way out of a damaged quilt.
the rich are the butter, and I'll leave the other question to the reader -
who's doing the sneaking? why are they so interested in fraying our quilt?
oh right, they want to prove their god

this election is a measurement of fear
red states fear disorder and terror more than anything else
blue states fear restriction and un-self directed personal development
both perspectives are valid, and don't have to cross one another. But each
couple years, we're forced to contest each other.
someone should make an app that was basically a massive tree structure that
started small and expanded in growth
at each node [computer programming term] it would ask a moral or philosophical
question, and depending on the user's answer it would map out their preferences
for politics.
using the power of technology, we might revolutionize the way we vote. In doing
so, we could each have our own shared understanding, and we would keep each
other from harm's way.
when war comes to a land, it destroys all who live within. Everyone everywhere
will be spending their lives picking up the ashes.
instead, we might decide that having a deeper understanding of what we share is
more valuable than winning a contest of wills.

martial art, or playing a game of chess with your heart.
[basically she's saying that we could create a "permanent vote" that is able to
be tweaked at any time.
the elections are still taking place every 4 years, which is when all the
changes we've drifted toward will begin to take effect.
"oh boy I can't wait 6 more months for the next election when abortion is
made legal again"
"gosh it sure is nice to have a small period between deciding something should
be done and having it come into effect."
sure would give us a lot more time to discuss and engage with each other on
important topics. Like gender reveal parties and their excessive [wait hang on,
think about the important parts.] ugh right okay like transsexual
marriage and "anti-ugliness trackers where people compare flaws all day
and try to be the best [you're just talking about social media] oh um, yeah,
was there a different type of service like that?
oh, right, you don't know about grindr yet. okay so there's this website where
people would go on to have sex, it was like an app on your phone and you could
just open it up and update your preferences whenever you wanted. They had this
neat tool you could use to "suss it out" with swiping and choosing you could
pick your own spouse.
but ah, alas, what about all the other people who aren't using the app? eh who
cares they'll find love eventually, this is more fun than dating
people you deeply know.

there are large swathes of the country that are red, and tiny pockets sprinkled
roughly equidistantly all over that are blue.
pnw is surrounded and split
california and nevada is too focused inward
NE is just going to become little canada
meanwhile the states south-east of colorado and north-east of california are
going to be the birthplaces of the new confederacy
fucking bastards
colorado defends from the mountains
the military faces theft of equipment which is used en-masse to disrupt combat
convoys while command struggles to hold everything clear
the south and east (Austin) fall under siege
aviation experts fly bomb-laden civilian aircraft into convoys
drones and landmined highways abound
volunteers from canada turned away at the border
except in vancouver
portland unites with seattle
montana is an unexpected ally
pseudo-confederate trump followers break and run in the north-east
moments of calm as the right sizes up their foes while democrats march on
cities expand, more people can cover more land
blitzkrieg doesn't do shit if your car is broken or the roads are deformed.

direct action is not just methods of fulfilling our needs
it's about practicing the skills necessary to get things done
the homeless can't feed themselves if there's no war afoot. but learning how to
work with an organization to accomplish a real, tangible goal... that's the
beauty of it.
you do pushups, right? you practice your singing voice, and brush your hair out
at night. You clean up your carpets, you take care of a home, all these are
skills and routines that you practice, to practice doing little things
bit-by-bit.
It's okay if it feels untenable. Just work as best as you can. Tomorrow might
feel like unending, but there's always more for us to tend.
until, of course, it gets easier. And it will, in due course. Sooner if we all
cooperated, but still just enough for us to contend.
there are more of us than them. We don't all need to fight, we just need to
support and to tend.
Trust me. We're alright. It's going to get better before it's done.

you can generally tell someone's voter status just by meeting them for a week
or two.
I think the census should be ongoing, something everyone is required to do.
they can choose when to do it, but by allowing it to be updated whenever and
applied every four years, you get a clearer picture of the demands of the
nation.
plus, it gives time to work and prepare. If all the results are public...
everyone can see who they are.
unless, of course, they're compelled to hide their beliefs by those in their

I think it'd be neat if Mastodon would implement a button that took a picture
of the user's text input box and saved it to the clipboard. So they could post
it on sites with picture-heavy text like https://www.reddit.com/r/curatedtumblr
note that's not grindr, which is what was referenced before, but tumblr, which
is a completely different website - yeah you rememeber that? it had a
completely different vibe and was so totally cool and chill. you could
generally tell if someone was from tumblr because they had a certain relaxed
air of friendliness that really filled out their sense of charm.

I know it's terrible right now, but we have crucial advantages that we
shouldn't sleep on.
We have the cities, and the cities are where everything is. Rural areas are so
spread apart they pretty much can only do what herr Hitler suggests they do,
meaning their command structure is monolithic. If everywhere needs their
attention, they will falter unless they create a grand battleplan. And plans
are defeated by rapid flexibility.
The more effort they need to counter you, the more work your allies can get
done. Every man woman and child who raised a fist will be remembered by the
moments that gave us grace to move socialism along. We know what time it is, do
you? Come to us now, flee from your new masters. We'll give you a job that'll
help us go faster.
Or do you rather persist in vain? To fight for what they are forced to reclaim?
Every island of blue in the deep red sea is a haven from the bloodshed - so
long as you can keep them clean.

Well for most people it means spending the next couple months in the city park.
As much time as you can manage. For everyone else it means ensuring that your
stuff is in the right place at the right time.
In Philly during BLM people left pallets of bricks all over, to incite a riot.
I wish we had taken them up on their offer. Bricks however today will not be
sufficient. Remember how I spoke my heart to the cops this summer? It converts
them still. Trust that message, that we are working to protect our society from
harm, and I think you'll find that they respond in kind.

50 copies of the entire map of the USA for good measure make a couple maps with
other things too, like GDP or topology.
Then take them to your local leftist, lgbt, whatever meeting and distribute
them out. Tell them "build us a plan for this state. Use your phone to
research, and work with nearby states - sometimes blue areas cross borders, and
they should be united in your mind when strategizing.
