Fan of #1A jurisprudence and the kind of #FreeSpeech that applies to everyone equally.

Fuck fascism, and anyone who upholds it.

Anyone know a good way to make #Gnome's "this program is not responding" dialog less aggressive? When I tell it I want to wait for the program to respond, that really shouldn't mean "pop back up one second later".

Also, sometimes it thinks a program is hanging when it's just waiting for me to pick a file, which interferes with me picking a file, which is very counterproductive.

People often say "why would anyone choose to be #gay or #trans when it just means a lifetime of extra pain?"

But the ironic thing is, when that life is forced upon us, many of us react by... choosing a lifetime of extra pain to advocate for those even less fortunate.

Nature or nurture indeed.

#Linux installation: Oh, you figured out the unnecessarily-complicated disk volume manager? Cool, you wanna give us your email? No? Np, here's your desktop!

#Windows installation: Give us your email. No, not your work email, your personal one. Your phone number, too. Want to sign in with a PIN? No? Fuck you, do it anyway.

It's insane how many device and OS makers have decided that "wait 4 hours for updates" is an acceptable first-user experience.

This is not the way. Violence only begets more violence.

The goal is to defeat fascism *without* starting a civil war.

Please don't be like these wannabe-rambo jackasses.

The "just following orders" crowd deserve justice, not death.

10 arrested in Texas immigration detention center shooting

Ten people face attempted murder charges after a shooting outside a Texas immigration detention center. Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson says the group, dressed in black military-style clothing, staged the “planned ambush” on Friday. A local police officer was shot in the neck but has since been treated and released. Larson said Monday the group used fireworks to lure U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel outside the center in Alvarado, where they opened fire. Weapons, body armor, and anti-ICE materials were found at the scene. Some suspects were arrested nearby. They were armed and wearing tactical gear. Larson says they face multiple charges, including attempted murder and firearm offenses.

@druid And you guys actually have decent infrastructure over there!

On our side of the pond, I wanted to go visit family. Plane? $400/2.5 hours. Train? $2,000+ and 40+(!!!) hours.

So, I emailed #AOPA about their endorsement of the Republican budget bill.

Their response was, basically, "We like Air Traffic Control funding and ignored everything else in the bill."

When I pointed out that the "everything else" included funding concentration camps which should have been a red line, they said "I understand and respect your position." and ended the conversation.

If you don't want your membership dues funding this, cancel now.

I know Elon Musk is a busy guy, so I went ahead and fixed his meme for him.

If you think children deserve to die because of the way their parents voted, please identify yourself in the replies so decent people can block you.
