Daily Inspiration: "Even when you think you have nothing, you’ll always have something!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
That's because the possibilities are infinite when you start with nothing - there's nowhere to go but up! It's a simple fact that when you have absolutely nothing, you still have the chance to have everything!

Daily Inspiration: Personal Growth – “Even when you think you have nothing, you’ll always have something!”

People like David will try to stop you from speaking out against Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
They’ll try to get others to shun you for showing basic humanity. For speaking out against a state that has killed tens of thousands of civilians, the majority women and children. A state whose ministers openly call for yet more ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Show them it won’t work.
Don’t be silent.

It’s a bad look. For those of who stoop to his level and engage in this rubbish, remember: you can hate #biden as much as you like, but if you help Trump get elected, whatever hope you have for a #palestini…

“When you ride in a boat and watch the shore, you might assume that the shore is moving. But when you keep your eyes closely on the boat, you can see that the boat moves. Similarly, if you examine myriad things with a confused body and mind you might suppose that your mind and essence are permanent. When you practice intimately and return to where you are, it will be clear that nothing at all has unchanging self.“ — Dogen Genjokoan

“You will most probably make mistakes when you first try to bring your life to the Buddhist path. In fact, if you do not make mistakes, you are probably not trying hard enough! Anyway, please do not worry when you make them. Because when you understand what you did wrong, you have turned the mistakes into wisdom, and you will become a more experienced and stronger practitioner as a result.”
Chamtrul Rinpoche

Good observations, and closing on a hopeful note. Short and pointed read.
The Heat Death of the Internet, by Gregory Bennett
https://www.takahe.org.nz/heat-death-of-the-internet/

So, I've been recently having a conversation with several folk about Slack vs Discord and which platform may be more advantagous for organizing events and building community. I and others were surprised to learn of how wide the gulf is on various people's ranges of experiences on each service, in terms of community, harassment, security tools, and users feeling welcomed.
I recognize that my experience as a femme-presenting person who uses my real identity is different from that of an anonymous person with a profile photo showing a bearded guy in a Patagonia vest holding up an IPA. This tracks with the discussions I've had today: tech bros generally seem to lean toward one platform while all of my other business-owning women friends opt to steer away from that service almost entirely.
If you're femme and use your real identity online, do you have a preference for Slack or Discord? Have you ever opted out of using either Slack or Discord? In addition to discussion of general vibes and security tools, we also can all recognize that there are some surveillance/privacy tradeoffs in play, as well. (Just as, if you're an organizer, maybe you have thoughts about which service offers tools or features or pricing that steers you one way or another, as well?)
What are your stories on this topic?

Israel can *literally* shell and machine gun starving civilians scrabbling for food and liberals will be like, "WHOA, WHOA - if you criticise Israel, you're ANTI-SEMITIC!"
The cognitive dissonance on display from the so-called left is fucking unbelievable.
If you in any way support Israel's hideous slaughter, you are lost, you are done, you are not human any more.

Let me put it another way:

You're at a restaurant. You don't see anything you like on the menu. But you're hungry. It's not like you are going to choose between the overcooked, gristly brisket and liver 'n' onions. No, it's like you are being asked to choose between the overcooked, gristly brisket, and stewed dog turds with maggots (pun intended, I guess) still in them.

In Green Bay, he said, "If you have illegal aliens invading your home, we will deport you" 😂
It's a novel approach!
If you get really sick, we will put you down.
If your car is stolen, we will arrest you.
If you're robbed at gunpoint, that's 60 hours of community service.
😆 🤣

You gotta start somewhere, so I recommend starting at the beginning. Unless you want to save time, then start in the middle. If you don’t want to learn anything along the way, try starting really close to the end. I guess you can use AI if you want that option.

You nap with a cat on your belly and her head supported by your hand. Your #dream starts with you waking up and ends with you clenching your fists. Then you suddenly realize that it was just a dream, you're about to wake up and regain muscular control, and you start trying hard not to clench — or unclench — your fist below the cat's head.

Jonathan Coulton's "Still Alive" (from Portal) is an Easter song, and the lyrics don't even require that much tweaking to work. Imagine Jesus singing it to all of humanity:
This was a triumph
I'm making a note here
"Huge success"
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
My Father's Kingdom
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
But there's no sense crying over every missed line
You just keep on trying till you run out of wine
And the tombstone grows moss and you make a neat cross
For the people who are still alive
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart
And killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Now, these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
So I'm glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive
Go 'head and leave me
I think I'd prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else
To help you
Maybe Ron Hubbard?
That was a joke, ha-ha, fat chance
Anyway, this wine is great
It's so delicious and moist
Look at me, still talking when there's religion to do
When I look out there, it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there's salvation to be done
On the people who are still alive
And believe me, I am still alive
I'm doing preaching and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive
While you're dying, I'll be still alive
And when you're dead, I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive

A week is never enough, but it was the best week ever. I’ll see you in 4 months. I am crying as I type this. Probably the most I’ve ever cried in my life.
You are my best friend. My fiancé & you mean the world to me. If anyone questions if our love is real. I’ll show them my heart & how it leaps for joy in the happy moments and cries a river wider than the Thames when I have to part from you each visit.
To one day being able to live together. To a lifetime to come. I love…

I think anyone who legitimately posts about left issues eventually accumulates a lot of online gossip. I cannot attest to whether other leftists are monsters who steal from minorities or not. I can attest that I have seen people walk back obvious lies about these people and then everyone keeps repeating the obvious lies anyway. I can attest that I myself am neither a right wing troll, business major, landlord, person who lives in the woods, or prostitute who sleeps with tech bros to get ahead. Those are just rumors I know about (for all I know there are even worse ones). If someone on the internet is telling you to hate one of the five remaining people actually trying to shine a light on fascism, I am begging you, please ignore it. We are not going to get ahead by targeting every leftist, only by building leftist politics. You don't have to support any particular leftist but spend your time building things and not fighting anyone you heard from a friend of a friend did something probably maybe

Thank you, Teri @…! (And thank you Chuck @…!) I hadn't read Stephanie Jones' writing until now. She's great. Her writing really gets you, right in your heart.
Here's another blog entry of hers. J…

My Old Man DID Know Something
My father, Judge Nathaniel R. Jones spent his life fighting for justice and change. He first answered the call as a young boy when he saw racial injustice and wanted to do something about it. His m…

Thousands of millionaires don’t even bother to pay their taxes, and Republicans keep protecting them. If you pay taxes, doesn’t that make you angry?

Thousands of millionaires haven’t filed tax returns for years, IRS says
The IRS said it stopped sending letters to people who didn’t file their tax returns, when the agency was strapped for funds. Now it’s going after the money.

If your president is actively funding, arming, and supporting a genocide and you call him “a good person” and “a good president”, maybe it’s time to take a good, long look in the mirror and wonder where things went wrong for you and whether you see a path back to reclaiming your humanity.

It's easy to think you'd be able to do something when you know that you'd never have to actually do it.

Daily Inspiration: "Have you ever realized that maybe it’s your attitude that has you winning in the race to irrelevance?" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Only a fool dares believe that their past defines their future.
I've met a lot of fools.
Hubris, arrogance, imperiousness - these are the sins of failure - all of which can lead a company, or organization to the brink of failure through a race to irrelevance.
With that, read the article posted by the retiring …

It seems McCarthyism is alive and well and targeting folks in the tech world who speak out against Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.
Let me tell you this: it only makes me want to shout louder.
You will not silence us. We will not sit idly by and watch a genocide unfold before our very eyes. And history will judge you harshly even if our crumbling, hypocritical, two-tier system of so-called international law does not.

You know you've been a real road-warrior speaker when you check into your Hilton hotel in San Jose and get a feeling that you've been here before! You look back in your email, and realize that it was once a Fairmont hotel and that you spoke in this exact hotel at an event in 2006!
I look…

If you use a parameter object in JavaScript, even if you specify its shape using JSDoc, you’ll only get errors if required properties are missing; not if there are extra properties provided.
e.g.,
```js
class A {
/**
@param {{
id:string
}} params
*/
constructor (params) {
Object.assign(this, params)
}
}
// Error:
new A({})
// No error:
new A({id: 'x', foo:'bar'})

Is it possible to restrict TypeScript object to contain only properties defined by its class?
Here is my code async getAll(): Promise { return await dbQuery(); // dbQuery returns User[] } class User { id: number; name: string; } class GetAllUserData{ ...

Heads up anyone playing with Kitten at the moment (yes, both of you):
I’m in the process of upgrading Kitten’s version of JSDB from 4 to 5.
*This is a breaking change.*
This will affect you if you’re persisting custom objects (instances of your custom model classes) in your databases.
Please see the details in this JSDB announcement post and the linked-to details page to prepare:

May I just say that not being able to set your own fucking character limit on your own fucking Mastodon instance without having to fucking fork fucking Mastodon is a fucking pain in the fucking arse.
Thank you for listening and here’s wishing you a lovely day.

But hey, remember (especially tech folks) that sponsorship doesn’t affect how an organisation behaves.

I was wrong about Google and Facebook: there’s nothing wrong with them (so say we all)
It’s always difficult admitting you’re wrong. But sometimes, it’s exactly what you have to do in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. So, today, I admit that I was wrong about Google, Facebook, and surveillance capitalism in general being toxic for our human rights and democracy. You see, it simply cannot be true given how they are endorsed by some of the most well-respected groups and organisations in the world.
