Yo, kid, I heard you like 90s death metal demos. I gots another one for you with this week's #ThursDeath. BOTULISM was from Marlborough, Massachusetts and they only released one demo in 1997, 'Feasts of Lunacy', before disbanding in 1998. It was re-released last year. It's weird, it's riffy, it has some rattly snare, it's cool as fuck.

New work laptop. I don't want to sign it into my #Apple account for obvious reasons.
Connect my Apple trackpad to the new work machine and it works fine.
Try to reconnect the trackpad to my personal Mac so I can do some homelab stuff over the weekend, not so fine. It shows up in the BT menu, but won't actually connect until I have the laptop forget the device.
Ok, I think, I'll just connect it wired since I only use the trackpad at my desk at home anyway.
That doesn't work because why would you want to be able to plug in a device with a wire and have it Just Work when instead you could get to fuck around with Bluetooth.
And of course I get to do the forget device bullshit again in order to use it with my work laptop today

Just finished "Dreams from Many Rivers" by Margarita Engle. It's a Latin-American history of the United States, written in poems that take on the points of view of a number of both fictional and actual people. It starts with the arrival of Spanish colonists in Puerto Rico, which was in fact the first part of the present-day States to experience European colonialism.
Its super informative and a great read to appreciate the complexities of history that ICE and the US white supremacist movement are trying to sweep under the rug. Like how the fuck do you deport a person whose indigenous and then Mexican ancestors lived in Arizona for centuries but now that it's claimed by the US since they speak Spanish they're "foreign."
It's a pretty quick read since it's a lot of short poems, and it's got lovely illustrations by Beatriz Gutierrez Hernandez.

I keep realizing that one of my main differences in behavior is that I don't let fear of loss keep me from connecting with people nor existing comfortably in places.
It plays out in some specific ways. I'm usually the first to volunteer to lend something, and I'm willing to (and in fact most excited to) lend whatever it is to someone I don't know. I know I might not get it back. It’s _fine_.
I'm willing to leave my bike locked up in a part of the city where it might get stolen. It won’t, probably but it might. And that's fine. Annoying, but fine. It's cheap enough to replace. Expensive enough to suck but it's fine.
What I'm tilting at here though is that the constant vigilance to make sure things work out okay and the waiting for low-risk situations cuts us off from a lot of things. Better to have a bit of a "well fuck" budget. Go do the thing. It'll probably be fine. if not, well, it sucks, but ... it's fine.

@hex@kolektiva.social2025-10-16 08:24:42
Actually, I do want to come back to masculinity under patriarchy and whiteness under white supremacy because I think it's worth talking more about. The "man" under patriarchy (at least "Western" patriarchy) is represented as power and independence. The man needs nothing and thus owes nothing to anyone. The man controls and is not controlled, which is intimately related to independence as dependence can make someone vulnerable to control. The image of "man" projects power and invulnerability. At the same time "man" is a bumbling fool who can't be held accountable for his inability to control his sexual urges. He must be fed and cared for, as though another child. His worst behaviors must be dismissed with phrases such as "boys will be boys" and "locker room talk." The absurdity of the concept of human "independence" is impossible to understate.
Even if you go all Ted Kaczynski, you have still been raised and taught. This is, perhaps, why it is so much more useful to think in terms of obligations than rights. Rights can be claimed and protected with violence alone, but obligations reveal the true interdependence that sustains us. A "man" may assert his rights. Yet, on some level, we all know that the "man" of patriarchy acts as a child who is not mature enough to recognize his obligations.
White violence and white fragility reflect the same dichotomy. "The master race" somehow always needs brown folks to make all their shit and do all the reproductive labor for them. For those who fully embrace whiteness, the "safe space" is a joke. DEI shows weakness. Yet, when presented with an honest history adults become children who are incapable of differentiating between criticism and simple facts. *They* become the ones who must be kept safe. The expectation to be responsible for one's own words and actions, one of the very core definitions of being an adult, is far too much to expect. Their guilt needs room, needs tending, needs caring. White people cannot simply "grow the fuck up" or, as they may say of slavery, "fucking get over it."
And again, interestingly, it is *rights* that they reference: "Mah Freeze PEACH!" I find it hard to distinguish between such and my own child's assertion that anything she doesn't like is "not fair!" No, these assertions fail to recognize the fundamental fabric of adult society: the obligations we hold to each other.
At the intersection of all privilege is the sovereign, the ultimate god-man-baby. Again, referencing the essay (https://hexmhell.writeas.com/observations-on-domination-and-trump)
> This is where it becomes important to consider the ideology behind the sovereign ritual. Participation within the sovereign ritual denotes to the participants elements of the sovereign. That is, all agents of the sovereign are, essentially, micro dictators. By carrying out the will of the sovereign, these micro dictators can, by extension, act outside of the law.
While law enforcement is the ultimate representative of sovereign violence, privileges allow a gradated approximation of the sovereign. Those who are "closer" in privilege to the sovereign may, for example, be permitted to carry out violence against those who are father away. The gradation of privilege turns the whole society, except for the least privileged, into a cult that protects the privilege system on behalf of the most privileged. (And immediately Malcolm X pops to mind as having already talked about part of this relationship in 1963 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf7rsCAfQCo.)

I've had a few of these thoughts stuck in my craw all day because I watched this liberal historian talk about the Galleanisti.
https://youtube.com/shorts/93yHEn8BYE4
Basically, she says that "of course the government had the right to target them." Then she goes on to talk about how it became an excuse to carry out a bunch of attacks on other marginalized people. Now, the Galleanisti had been bombing the houses of politicians and such. I get where she's coming from saying that one of their targets "was in the right" to try to catch them. But there's some context she's not talking about at all.
These were Italian anarchists, so they were not white and they were part of an already marginalized political group. Basically all of Europe and the US was trying to wipe out anarchists at the time. Meanwhile, the sitting president at the time showed the first movie in the White House. That movie was KKK propaganda, in which he was favorably quoted. The US was pretty solidly white supremacist in the 1920's.
Like... A major hidden whole premise of the game "Bioshock: Infinite" is that if you went back to the US in the 1920's, and you had magic powers, you would absolutely use them to kill as many cops as possible and try to destroy society. There's a lot of other stuff in there, I don't want to get distracted, but "fuck those racists," specifically referring to the US in the 1920's, was a major part of a major game.
Those Italian anarchists were also stone cutters. They carved grave stones. But the dust from that can kill you, much like black lung for coal miners. So they were dying from unsafe working conditions, regularly raising money to support dying coworkers and then carving gravestones for those same coworkers.
Now, I personally think insurrectionary anarchism is a dead end. I disagree with it as a strategy. We've seen it fail, and it failed there. But of course it makes sense that they wanted to blow up the government.
...And that's the correct way to structure that. When you say, "of course they were in the right" you're making a very clear political statement. You could easily say, "the cops in Vichy France had every right to hunt down the French Resistance." You would technically be correct, I guess. But it would really say something about your politics if you justified the actions of Nazi collaborators over those fighting against the Nazis.
And you may say, "oh, but the Nazis didn't have justification for anything. They invaded a sovereign nation, so their government wasn't legitimate anyway."
To which I would reply, "have you considered a history book about the US?"

Having a password length limit, especially one as low as 15 characters, just makes me think you're doing something fundamentally wrong like storing passwords in clear text and confirms my opinion that there's a ton of other incompetence in your software stack.

How did anybody **EVER** think that having TABs vs. spaces be significant in makefiles was a good idea?
Yes, I'm well aware that I am not the first person in history who has ever had this particular complaint.
Still, it's been 40 years since I first encountered this, and I am **still** boggled. WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?

Hey, one of my favorite living antifascist thinker-writers, Fuck Theory, who also happens to be a queer immigrant in New York, is struggling to hang on to his life in the US. This GFM is in support; imho it is in the best interest of most of us to keep this person going in whatever circumstances are the best for him to work in, but it is certainly in mine, so if you have surplus money maybe chuck him some:

Good job Reddit, now I need to copy the URL of a post and open it in the browser when I want to save a picture of a baby hyppos as I like to do

I like how JC Penney is like, "Sure, we sent you the wrong item, but we're going to charge you $8 to return it. Because we can. Fuck you."
I hate Amazon, but I also shed no tears when most of these other shitty chains go bankrupt.
[Yes, it's free to return to the store, but that's not how I bought it in the first place and it's not the least bit convenient.]

Apparently people need to hear this: it's fine to organize your books however the fuck you want
Sorted in rainbow colors? Fine.
Spines facing wall? Fine.
A big pile on the floor? Fine.
Looming stacked towers? Fine.
Ordered by number of pages? Fine.

Currently sitting in a little park near the auto shop I've been going to for the better part of a decade. Which, definitely still a Protip: search out the best indie shop you can find in your area. Stay away from the chains. My credit card balance might be about to eat a fat bill (thank fuck I have the option even tho I hate it lol) but it's worth the money for the piece of mind knowing a real pro did the work.

The other day my wife and I were talking about Charli XCX, how she's so popular. My wife hadn't heard her stuff. I had, last year, when everyone was raving about it. It's very popular. No shade to her fans.
So for fun, a little later, I put on just the first couple minutes of Charli's 'Brat' (that I found to be unlistenable) and I was like, hey listen to this.
My wife was like, what the FUCK is THAT?!? 😂😂

So…say I ask a GenAI (LLM): “write me a book” (with needed “prompts”)
How does it create a story from moments that inspire me, influences of my friends & family the unconsciously loved stories that have touched me?
If that all comes from somewhere else, how the fuck is that “my” book*?

Another way this plays out is I’m usually quite willing to do something that might wreck tomorrow, and then have a 'fuck it' day. (I do however not tend to be able to wreck multiple future days, nor suffer that much when I wreck one. Just to the level of needing to cancel plans)

Imagine what it must be like to be such a deplorable, spineless, genocide-denying corporate toady.

Most software should calm the fuck down, there’s no reason to have an update every week.
Imagine buying a chair and every week someone shows up to change something with the chair.
In some weeks you end up not being able to use it because it collapses every time. You have to wait until the week after for a repair.
And every two years or so they switch the chair out with something completely different.
You now have a toaster.

It’s amazing how many replies I’m getting that “vibe coding is fine, it doesn’t matter if software actually works”.
People literally die or get hurt all the time when websites or apps don’t work, because they get false information or they’re incorrectly flagged or they hit some edge case and stuff just doesn’t happen.
Power gets turned off. Medications don’t arrive. Accounts get frozen. Credit scores ruined. Personal information leaked.
If you don’t take making software seriously you should fuck right off and leave the field.
