What pisses me off to no end is that the likelihood of US media publishing the fact that a very low level of the broad internet has been compromised (likely due to incompetence) is not going to be published. Hey @404mediaco@mastodon.social - do something!

A sad, but hilarious comedy of errors happened to me yesterday. I was half looking at my phone while walking on a sidewalk. There was a perfectly placed very minor step up in the concrete, which caused me to trip. I fell hard. I have two broken ribs. What's fucked up is that I mourn the fact […]

I need to state this over and over. #Omarchy is run by the literal Nazi DHH. It includes hyprland, run by a far right asshole - technically not Nazi, but might as well be #foss is under attack. Everytime you install that (objectively horrible vibe-coded) OS, you support Naziism.

We've come full circle. Punks in the 70s and 80s needed to beat the shit out of Nazi skinheads. This needs to continue, in our own way in the #foss community. Nazi punks, fuck off.
