5 years ago today. George Floyd was murdered by a racist cop who knelt on his neck and choked him for over 9 minutes.
I was only a kid back in 2020 but I remember seeing this on TV and it shocked tf out of me and knew it was cops v us.
Remember George today but also all the other black men murdered by cops.
Preciate if yall could boost this🙏🏿

Lynn Conway was remarkable in a number of ways but I think the reason her death hits me so hard even though I didn’t know her personally is the most unremarkable thing about her: One of us got to live her life quietly, grow old, and be remembered fondly as herself in death.

I think that’s all I really want.

@teuteuf Hello. I was playing Worldle today, and it says Estonian is the second most common (presumably, mother tongue) in Portugal? I spent way too much time fact checking this, and it seems likely false. While the website you use for European language data, http://languageknowledge.eu/, does show Estonian, it says its data is from Eurobarometer, which says French is the second most common mother tongue in Portugal. I am emailing the webmaster for the website, but I figure I'd let you know too.

Someone is mirroring a great collection of #Nintendo Emulators there:
https://git.zaroz.cloud/nintendo-back-up
It seems like they are missing some submodules to successfully build yuzu
Has someone downloaded them prior the deletion that they can add them?
I'll of course also provide a mirror in that case on https://dev.cat-enby.club

Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital “library”.

Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.
