@hacks4pancakes The country on average is filled with drunken racists. But the specific spot you've chosen is uniquely different to the rest of the country - I'm not exaggerating, it's basically a political bloc that swims the opposite way to everywhere else. I think you'll like it there and find a solid support network.

@meejah @hacks4pancakes I'm Australian, meejah is right, but you posted that you are hunting in Brunswick and that's one of the places where you'll for sure be able to find pockets of safety.

Generally speaking, look in/near this region: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_of_Melbourne

@jens @MissConstrue @404mediaco Every time I mention it, or see others mention it, there is a gaggling chorus of denial and implications of paranoid delusion. The common retort is, "There's no satisfactory evidence."

Every. Time.

There needs to be ample amounts of firm proof of this nature gathered or these people will just continue both living in denial, and being insufferable to those who have clearly observed what's happening with these devices.

@pearlbear As an autistic person, I actually wish the focus was less on whether it's good or bad to have physiology common to a minority of people. I wish it was purely on whether our physiology is causing us suffering.

My autistic neurology causes me a plethora of purely physiological issues that create great suffering.

The amount of help I can get for that is zero, because nobody studies to treat health issues that come from uncommon physiology, aka divergent neurology.

That's the reality.

I'm in design professionally and have been 100% Linux and FOSS for a while now.

For most graphics work I use Krita. It does almost everything I need.

For vectors I use Inkscape, including if I want text for Krita, until its new text tool releases.

For UI & web design tasks I use PenPot.

For video editing I use Kdenlive, though I'm also starting to tinker with Blender Power Sequencer.

IMO there are only 3 things still really hard to do on Linux. Print, motion, and collab via closed formats.

If you’re still posting on Twitter then you’re actively helping a fascist achieve his goal of controlling the information so he can bend it how he wants.

So, Elon Musk reinstates Flynn on Twitter on the 2 year Anniversary of Jan 6.

He fires people in Twitter Brazil in charge of moderation, ie keeping an eye on inciting violence, etc.

On the day after Brazil insurrection he reinstates Ali Alexander, yes the "stop the steal" a**hole who is partly responsible for the Jan 6 insurrection.

He's not trying to hide what he's up to.

He's stoking the flames of fascism and violence.

Elon Musk is a terrorist.

Have you heard that almond milk uses loads of water, so is really bad for the environment?

Or that rainforests get chopped down to grow your soy beans for that soy milk?

These are distortions of the truth, designed to make cow’s milk sound better without actually using evidence. See the photo, and read on, a thread 🧵 #vegan

If you’re outraged about Adobe sending your pictures off their servers (you should be), please know other vendors do this too. That horse has already bolted.

Eg Microsoft Edge automatically sends your key presses in Edge to MS - enabled by default https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/how-to-disable-writing-assistance-via-group-policy/td-p/3648422

Microsoft Office 365 sends every photo and screenshot you add in Word, PowerPoint etc (including in emails) to Microsoft 365 Intelligent Services without prompt https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/everything-you-need-to-know-to-write-effective-alt-text-df98f884-ca3d-456c-807b-1a1fa82f5dc2

How to disable writing assistance via Group Policy

Okay, we know... We made fun of Adobe when its cloud service went down. We've made fun of Corel Painter and Clip Studio. We joined in the protest No AI Generated Images protest. We made our stance on NFT's clear. But this is beyond making fun of. This is EW! EW! EW!
