I like this kind of Humor.

i really appreciate all the sighted people trying to support a culture of image descriptions but i wish they would consider the point

it's not "as someone who's B/VI i need to fully imagine what the picture i can't see is down to every detail"

it's "if you're using an image it serves a purpose and i'd like similar access to sighted people to your toot"

an #ImageDescription should replace the visual meaning, what an image adds, which is rarely the image specifics

Important message from Vlad.

#Fediblock Generally speaking, technological control over human behavior will probably not be introduced with a totalitarian intention or even through a conscious desire to restrict human freedom.Each new step in the assertion of control over the human mind will be taken as a rational response to a problem that faces society, such as curing alcoholism, reducing the crime rate or inducing young people to study science and engineering. In many cases, there will be a humanitarian justification. For example, when a psychiatrist prescribes an antidepressant for a depressed patient, he is clearly doing that individual a favor. It would be inhumane to withhold the drug from someone who needs it. When parents send their children to Sylvan Learning Centers to have them manipulated into becoming enthusiastic about their studies, they do so from concern for their children’s welfare. It may be that some of these parents wish that one didn’t have to have specialized training to get a job and that their kid didn’t have to be brainwashed into becoming a computer nerd. But what can they do? They can’t change society, and their child may be unemployable if he doesn’t have certain skills. So they send him to Sylvan.

I hope at least some listen to me.

Went back to VR workout for the last two days and today PAIN

The US-centralized empire controls the global south with bombs, bullets and blockades and controls the rest of us with mass-scale psychological manipulation. Sure it's nicer to be sitting where we are rather than at the barrel of the gun, but don't confuse that with freedom.

Requiring traditional powerplants to ramp their power output up and down depending on sun and wind reduces their lifespan.

Virgin Islands AG Fired Three Days After Suing JPMorgan Over Jeffrey Epstein

"US Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan for allegedly reaping financial benefits from Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operation"

"Three days later, George is now unemployed, after Governor Albert A. Bryan Jr. fired her for allegedly filing the suit against JPMorgan without his permission."

Another coverup. Do not investigate Epstein connections!

Jordan Peterson is being taken to task for his social media use.
Yes, he's got awful takes, and honestly isn't worth defending on his own.
With that said I'm entirely opposed to the idea of regulatory & professional organizations being weaponized to police speech.
People are already justifiably losing trust in the media, and now it's going to spill over into all other domains.

As a maintainer of OpenSource libraries and packages, there is something that kept feeling off in the whole Software Supply Chain discourse. I think this comes down to something simple.
