A poet friend once advised me: “it’s not your guts, don’t make it precious to you, just write what comes, it’s not identity or possession, mine it later for good bits”.

Write garbage for a few minutes when you start. Plan on throwing that away. Warm up. Stretch the brain then put it to work. It’s low risk.

Mutual Aid Anarchists are Nazis now! Up is Down! Centralized Authority is Freedom! Equality and Equity are Oppression!! Thank you comrade!!!

It’s idiom about military regimentation not fishing.

Also, WTF, RT is just as much propaganda as Sky News.

.ml user here thinks that everyone else picks servers due to ideological loyalty-- main character syndrome – let’s just call everyone fascist if they aren’t tankies, eh?

It’s not a “they” in this case, it’s an “us”. You have way more agency, in most cases, than you suggest.

• most people work and have some choice in how and where, though your demographic may have obstacles
• delivery is optional in most cases and bad labour practices and energy costly
• your location and region is not universally representative

Yeah delivery services are great for the disabled and people isolated by car-centric design.

A 15-minute urban design ethos makes delivery unnecessary for most in favour of the much healthier and more culturally beneficial self reliant errand running. If you don’t spend hours commuting, you can engage in an actual neighbourhood, get to know your suppliers and neighbours, and participate in your locale.

Around here the blackberries touch you.

Also look up Lupo the Butcher if you like this.

No, not if the sample methodology is sound, that’s an ample sample. Yes, ask about the methodology, but harping on the number of interviewees is naiive.

1200 interviews would have been statistically convincing, and it’s threefold.

ITA: “Slopaganda” isn’t strong enough

Thank you for your sacrifice

If you grew up with commercial TV, not only is the frequency of ads on youtube bad, but the placement–in the middle of a sentence or a scene–is mentally and emotionally destructive.

Seems like youtube forces sign-in using Unwatched on iOS? An alternative is Vinegar which replaces the video player in Safari, and skips the ads, mostly and usually (until youtube updates some things then vinegar needs to catch up).

Woman on the Edge of Time is still the best at directly addressing a solarpunk society as far as I can tell. Piercy does it both in world building and exposition, while contrasting with both future dystopia and current modern society.

Some of the ideas are original and inspiring, some show that everything has a cost, and some are very challenging.

People aren’t just objecting to the quality of the software, and even more than objecting to the relentless commercialization at every opportunity in the ‘smart’ features, they are rightfully worked up about the firehose of surveillance telemetry these devices are feeding back to the manufacturers.

ADHD: functional notes in abbreviated version on fat strips of painter’s tape on server case or shelf. Passwords go on page dedicated to that server or service in a little black notebook, then eventually in a password manager.

Readme file if my brain lets me, usually 3 months later after hyperfocus on troubleshooting.

35 / 2 = 17.5 + 7 = 24.5

Oh I see why you picked those ages.

Nah.

That’s not logical, nobody but you is saying that.

In English, “you” can refer to an individual or a group.

Apply the group in this context. Each member of a group taking care of their individual mandate of responsibility is collective action.

So no, to your question, no-one meant that.
