The web’s dying. The FSF’s dying. Windows 11 is made out of people. Dont you see? It’s people. They’re making our software out of people. Next thing, they’ll be breeding us like cattle for training data. You’ve gotta tell them. You’ve gotta tell them!

CentOS 3.6

when I was but a baby sysadmin, my boss did that to a production server

kkzzt Pick up that coredump.

SCP-1484

that error is coming from I2P, not nginx

so good news? your nginx configuration is probably fine

bad news? I know fuck all about I2P. assuming you’re intending to reach the “router console”, you could probably follow the suggested configuration change in the error message to Do That Thing

TIL

that was fascinating in a horrifying sad kind of way

thank you for sharing

brb falling down a rabbit hole of looking up other countries’ … I don’t even know how to typify this. self identity narratives? national copium?

what i’m taking from this is that Polish morality tales basically go “you do anything, you die, probably ironically”

fwiw i think you were (mostly) in the right there

it’s the same logic imo behind “we don’t misgender quote bad unquote people”

if it’s a shitty thing to do – and imo attacking someone’s physical ability is a shitty thing to do – justifying it because you think the target somehow deserves it doesn’t make it not shitty

it also makes anyone vulnerable to that behavior because others have decided it’s justified, that they are part of whatever “other” group

(there are parallels here to death penalty or prison abolition arguments)

(also we have to hold space for the paradox of tolerance. nazi punks fuck off, etc.)

the only thought I have to the contrary here is that what AOC said (“maybe if you channeled this anger into swimming faster …”) can be read as critical of the transphobe’s behavior and choices – where she’s choosing to direct her anger – and not her physical ability

anyway

people sure can be shitty and defensive about it, huh

I hope you can take some time doing nourishing things away from the internet and feel better. all warriors need a break from the front lines, SJW’s included

edit: this happened on a blahaj community? wow. I am disappointed in my peeps. otoh queer communities, like all besieged communities of vulnerable people, are understandably sensitive and kinda bitey toward anything that might threaten them. everything is complicated

it’s one latte, michael. what could it cost, $80?

tbf you cant swing a domestic feline with steady vitals without hitting a programmer here

I think the humor lies in the multiple levels of parody of traditionally conservative editorial cartoons. These are parodied or hyperbolized by The Onion’s “Stan Kelly”, and that parody is further parodied by replacing the topic with progressive leftist concerns in the OP’s comic. My response uses an image from a modification of a character from Kelly’s own work, replacing the “sicko” (originally a bystander excited by the decriminalization of drugs resulting in the death of procedural police dramas) with (to my eyes) a stereotype of a transfem furry, further increasing the absurdity and surprise of the entire scenario.

I considered replying with a crying statue of liberty, but this made me giggle more, so.

cast Gate on the bottom of the ocean

20ft wide portal to whatever other plane you want to dump the ocean in

at the bottom of the mariana trench you’d get some 200,000,000 gallons per minute through that sucker

it’ll still take more than 3 million years (per very naive, optimistic napkin math) to drain all the oceans but you can probably find other people to join your mad ocean destruction cult over that time and get things going in parallel

the real question is: where are you putting all this water

I have ever written an ssh wrapper that automagically rsynced my shell config (and other dotfiles and tools) to the target host

that job had way too many pets

Honestly, same on both counts. I’m really glad my extensive batch file days are well behind me. And as much as I like Powershell’s idea of structured output between commands, I never really gelled with the Verbose-Noun-Verb-Syntax. I’ll stick to memorizing my cryptic acronyms kthxbai.

zsh is my main

though i grew up on bash and write scripts targeting sh

cmd.exe has entered the chat
