Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Dear Fedi friends, I need your help!

We are working on motion graphics for the Fediverse promotional video... and we would love to do a sequence at the end with a mosaic of people's profile photos. For that, I need your consent.

If you'd like to have a small cameo in our video, can you let us know if we can use your profile pic?

Thanks! 🙏

Can you please boost this?

So sieht's aus, wenn Demokratiefeinde regieren... Und wer glaubt, sowas könne in Deutschland nicht passieren, sollte mal schauen, was die AfD so alles fordert. Deren Ideologie ist der Bauplan für genau solche Maßnahmen. Die Einleitung des Verbotsverfahrens darf nicht länger blockiert werden.

Die Klage gegen die Bahn landet nicht nur vor Gericht, sondern auch in der Presse: Tagesschau, ZDF, Deutschlandfunk & Co berichten über Datenweitergabe im DB Navigator. Wir dokumentieren das Echo auf unserer Website – ein Who’s who der Pressestimmen zur Klage gegen Schnüffel-Apps im ÖP(N)V.

Because I’m quite dim, I didn’t realise exactly what they had done and how extremely clever these women had been. #TransLivesMattter 👏👏👏

The government (and everyone else, frankly) need to stay out of trans people’s underwear. 🏳️‍⚧️

Topless trans protest outside Holyrood a ‘public act of grief, resistance and solidarity’

Trans women staged a topless protest outside of the Scottish parliament to condemn the UK Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of 'sex'.

Welp, I have just cancelled my Microsoft Office 365 recurring subscription.

Two reasons.

1. I only ever use it to check tracked changes to the copy edits on novels—once a year—which my publishers process in Word. As of this month, LibreOffice is good enough for the job (just tested at book length).

2. CoPilot in Office would open me up to accusations of breach of contract—my book contracts warrant that they're all my own work: CoPilot brings that into question.

So good riddance to Office365!

Herr Dobrindt meint, ein AfD-Verbot sei aussichtslos, da die Afd "nur" die Menschenwürde, nicht die Demokratie angreife.

Und das, nachdem er vorlas, jede zweite politische Straftat wurde von Rechten begangen.

Wer schützt die Demokratie vor Nazis & bayerischen Flitzpiepen?!?

@micr0 The image shows a screenshot of a Twitter post by Eric Jorgenson ([@]EricJorgenson). The post reads: "Capitalism needs a logo. It's a huge miss that Communism has the Hammer & Sickle (which actually goes hard) and Capitalism has nothing. Let's do better branding for Capitalism!" The post has garnered 3.2 million views, 1.7K comments, 759 retweets, 6.8K likes, and 491 bookmarks. Below the original tweet, there is a reply from user MATSCHARELLI ([@]matscharelli) with a logo featuring a stylized dollar sign within a circle on a yellow background. The logo is a play on the Nazi swastika, symbolizing a critique of the original tweet's suggestion.

@altbot holy shit altbot you are goated
@altbot
Wow, that's a crazy analysis for a bot. Even got the swastika thing right. Wish we could figure out the reasoning for this 😱
@micr0
@altbot @micr0 Wow man!! You are so great 🔥🔥
@micr0 I must say that the logo couldn't have been better. It's just a masterpiece
@micr0
Oh, yes, that's awfully good. 🙂
@micr0
That is brilliant.. copy.
@micr0 I love the design! Does the Yellow has a meaning?
@dacig @micr0 piss

- carrie
@aperture @dacig @micr0 I assume it's the demonetization symbol from YouTube, which symbolizes how small creators struggle to earn a living whilst the corporations are increasingly hostile and greedy, earning record profits every quarter while, and paying nothing to the working class who are living paycheck to paycheck and can barely afford necessities.

it's definitely not piss though because piss is actually cool unlike capitalism
@sodiboo @dacig @micr0 nah mate it's piss

- carrie
@sodiboo @micr0 @aperture @dacig It’s definitely piss yellow, symbolizing trickle down economics pissing on us and calling it rain.
@dacig @micr0 There is a faction called ancaps, anarcho-capitalists, who use a black and yellow flag. The yellow distinguishes them from other “anarcho” ideology flags. However ancaps are actually fascists, and they should have the word “anarchist” smacked out of their mouths.

@Moss @dacig @micr0

Destroy all unjust* hierarchies! (*except corporate hierarchies, landlord-tenant hierarchies, employer-employee power dynamics, billionaires hoarding resources, private security forces with qualified immunity, paywalled healthcare systems, subscription-based food access, algorithmic control of information, social credit tied to spending habits, monopolistic tech empires, rentier capitalism, and wage slavery—those are just “voluntary exchanges,” bro.)

@Moss @micr0 Oh, Ancaps like Milei 💩🪰🪰,.Got you

@dacig

yes, check the anarcho capitalist logo, that with the snake

@micr0

@dacig @micr0 it's the color of betrayal.
@dacig @micr0 The yellow and black could be a nod to the flag of anarcho-capitalism.
@micr0 lol - master trolling?
@micr0 "imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever"
-Orwell
@micr0 lmao, it's perfectly apt for Capitalism. It's hideous, unoriginal, lazy af, and it's basically fascism with a new coat of paint
@micr0 that's very fitting branding
@micr0 That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all week
@micr0 with shades of nazi swastika, perfect.
@micr0 I mean... It's definitely the most ACCURATE flag for capitalism.

@micr0
Make it a little orange/gold and you have
The Turnip/MAGA flag.

Has anyone seen this before? It's brilliant. It's the $wastica-pitalism.

@RustedComputing @micr0, well, I've seen that exact $ before. It's exactly the shape of the $ character in the ZX Spectrum, ZX81 and (presumably) ZX80 character sets.

I would, however, be very surprised if this is anything other than total co-incidence.

@micr0
Crony Capitalism - to be accurate
@aquarius1842 @micr0 the accumulation of capital by the wealthy is a central right in capitalism of any kind. Capital represents power, and at a certain level includes the power to buy politicians. There is no capitalism that is not or does not eventually become crony capitalism.
@capriciousday @aquarius1842 all transactional relationships are capitalism. Only robust public participation in democratic governance can effectively limit the rapacious tendencies inherent to capitalism.
@micr0 that designer is a fucking genius

@micr0

Makes one wonder indeed…

@micr0 One presumes the yellow is a reference to "trickle-down economics".

@micr0

A boot crushing a human face forever.

@micr0 This logo has perfectly captured the essence of capitalism, I wish it all the success it deserves.
@micr0
Now we need an hymn.
Communism had the State Anthemn of The Soviet Union sung by the Red Army Choir
Hesitating between Katy Perry's "California Girls" and Windows 11 startup sound

@Monsieur_Lepetit @micr0

Is anyone able to post the flag in a downloadable form?

@Monsieur_Lepetit @micr0 what's the one with "all I wanna do is *bang bang bang bang*"

or RTGame's remix of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. intro with gunshots in

@micr0 The obvious reason is that capitalism isn't a totalitarian or group ideology, hence why it doesn't have a unique leader or a symbol that you have to follow and that serves to know whether you belong to the privileged group or not. Every cult has a symbol, even national flags and other flags are cult like to some extent, the symbol is what unifies that mass of people and differentiates them from the rest, it's deeply tied to a group identity.
@micr0 @bathtub_jen This is even better because capitalism naturally leads to fascism.
@micr0 i am scared of how much this fits
@stux @micr0 well I started willingly using and hosting mastodon myself I guess I need to make my peace and put up with this. After all all the lefties put up with other side of spectrum on Twatter 😅
