Why for all of us to take to heart?
Because we all need to remember that there are people in our circles for whom existence is resistance, which makes every single day a fight.
And we need to remember that it •matters• when we forcefully speak up for the humanity of others — or simply treat somebody who is vulnerable with basic decency and steadfast respect, in spite of the whole damned world.
And some days some little instance of one of those things — speaking up, decency, respect — that just feels like almost nothing in the moment might be the most important thing we do all day, and we won’t even know it.

I think it is a nice idea to highlight why we like working with #Nix and #NixOS to remind us, why we all are doing this in the end.
For me it is still the best experience in #freesoftware I…

Sonnet 040 - XL
Take all my loves, my love, yea take them all;
What hast thou then more than thou hadst before?
No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call;
All mine was thine, before thou hadst this more.
Then, if for my love, thou my love receivest,
I cannot blame thee, for my love thou usest;
But yet be blam'd, if thou thy self deceivest
By wilful taste of what thyself refusest.
I do forgive thy robbery, gentle thief,

Ok, yeah, I'm not done processing my anger over liberals doing shit like this. So this historian sees a rise in right wing violence, sees the US government carrying out ethnic cleansing, sees a rise in white supremacist terrorism, and then says, "oh yeah... this reminds me of a time right around the 1920s. Hum... yeah, ANARCHISTS fighting the government! Yeah, that's the same thing."
FFS, IT'S THE RED SUMMER! If you want a parallel between today and some horrible time in US history, TALK ABOUT THE RED SUMMER. The point of the language of dehumanization that the right uses, the point of all the anti-black and anti-emigrant rhetoric, is that it leads to genocide. Trump already carried out an act of genocide (#USPol

Here's something new. Our train is delayed because the #PKP #InterCity train going in front of us is delayed. And apparently that train is delayed because the conductor decided to remove a passenger over him keeping his shoes against the seat opposite him.
And the real absurd part is that apparently said passenger removed the shoes upon being called on it. Yet the conductor decided to call the police to forcibly remove him anyway. On a single track line known to be filled with trains to the capacity. Causing series of delays for hours to come. With a bunch of connections on all major nodes that will cause further delays.

Excellent article by @…, given a timely illustration by AWS's problems this morning.
"... this year, multiple important companies not just in the UK but globally and ranging from manufacturers to retail stores have been knocked almost completely out of production by cyberattacks. ...
"... British businesses have to start doing more to secure their IT systems and to create plans for how to keep running if something happens – potentially with plans to run systems without networked computers or with pen-and-paper backups if required. ...
"In 2019 we knew that a future pandemic was inevitable at some point but the lessons from previous pandemics and pandemic wargame exercises had not and still have not been fully implemented. ...
"Since then, the foreseeable disasters like pandemics, climate change or malicious hackers have been joined by another one – a hostile government that actively controls our tech sector."

Day 6 - Shakespeare had taste.
I have a feeling that my butt is stronger and more forgiving than I thought. I really expected to be crawling like those naked snails, but I guess I learned something new about my body.
HelsingŸr is home to Kronborg Slot, the castle that Shakespeare used in Hamlet. Not only that, it was also very important for payments to enter the Baltic Sea. Today, you can walk around the castle, drink coffee, or even visit some local art studios, such as those fe…
