This doesn't look bad at all

Why Catalan/Scottish struggle is good? It is a struggle against the oppressive state. What's not good about it? It's nationalism.

How can you say that it's an echo chamber here when we have anarchists AND communists?

We even had one ancap for some time!

This will not get old for some time.

So I still have problems with my Nextcloud or with Docker, I don't even know really and I installed Feeds from GNOME and it's not finished software yet maybe but it's already delightful!

The poster is here!

A friend of mine needs survey participants for her studies. She would appreciate if you filled it in and spread it. Boosts are welcome.

@allan this. My ethics would allow eating seafood but we just cannot afford that

>Can't you see the waste of it -- waste of labour, skill, cunning, waste of life in short? Well you may say, but it cheapens the goods. In a sense it does; and yet only apparently, as wages have a tendency to sink for the ordinary worker in proportion as prices sink; and at what a cost do we gain this appearance of cheapness! Plainly speaking, at the cost of cheating the consumer and starving the real producer for the benefit of the gambler, who uses both consumer and producer as his milch cows.

I think that's a very good text and I wish all people on the left read it.

"Metrics for the Unmeasurable Mood" by @ashfurrow
Prompts thought on how I'm consistently inconsistent, cannot do things on time, cannot keep a single promise and really struggle with habits. I think tracking myself would be beneficial for me but right now I absolutely cannot see myself doing that.

Toodon is no more:

I'm sorry for everyone who liked it and used it but also...

Screw Tootdon for sneakingly scraping data from *all* the Fediverse that reached their clients and caching it with stupid "tell us that you don't want that" policy.

I've played with progressive image loading in Tusky a little:

@masterofthetiger @jordan31 everyone's so concerned about them. I can imagine:
"Logging into Gab. There are 3 anti-semitic memes and one transphobic joke on the screen.
I smile condescendingly. It's a freedom of speech. This voices must be protected. Good thing that I am not a nazi, I just try to protect their rights."

Queer, trans, gay, non-binary & others, neurodivergent folks, PoC, this place doesn't mean anything without you. There would be 1.5 techbros here and it would wither and die without you.
Thank you for being here 💚

I constantly feel like we lose people. I don't know if it's just me being depressed or it's really like that.
People either disappear or burn out.

In my experience it's also a normal thing for IRL communities. That's why I don't understand how people even gather together.
