Oh, sweet Jesus, iOS mail now defaults to pasting using the style of the source you copied. Is there no mercy from this endless fucking scourge? Itâs the dumbest most awful possible default I can imagine. Why why why!!!!
It also doesnât seem to have a âpaste and just use the style in the destination documentâ, and Iâm not going to piss about with non semantic style fiddling on a sodding touch screen.
This was just beautiful.
â The Breathing Light http://s.flohei.de/4w
This was one of the details that made me feel drawn to the platform ever since I first saw it in a 12" PowerBook in the early 2000s. Not only the pulsing, but also the fact that at some point the light disappeared behind the aluminum once it wasnât needed anymore â only there when it had to indicate something. This was just beautiful. I had now idea that it also synced between devices:
Yo, real talkâwhat the fuck are we gonna do when the internet gets shut off?
We've seen it in #Gaza, in #Iran, and when Elon âI-play-Godâ Musk blacked out Starlink in Ukraine. Every time shit gets heavy, the state or some oligarch clown just pulls the plug. It ainât just a glitchâitâs strategic, itâs repression, and itâs a fucking reminder that most of our comms infrastructure is in the hands of fascists, corporations, or both.
Iâve been working with indigenous comrades who rely on #Starlink to stay connected in remote areas. And yeah, itâs wild that you can be deep in the bush and still shitpost from a mountaintopâbut that signal still runs through a pipeline owned by a Nazi tech bro.
We need to be talking more about mesh networks, autonomous infrastructure, all that good shit that anarchist tech nerds have been yelling about for years. Decentralized, resilient, community-controlled comms arenât just coolâtheyâre necessary for survival.
Letâs keep this convo alive and start building the lifelines before the next blackout. Shitâs coming fast.
