They know what it looks like. They always know everybody knows what actually happened. It’s obvious they are just covering their rapist asses because nobody can technically prove it, which is the point. They can accept the social backlash, they can’t accept jail time.

No matter the country, no matter the time period, no matter the circumstances, never forget the universal truth: Blue Lives Don’t Matter. Fuck The Police.

It’s a lot of work. I’m in a similar boat. I’ve been self teaching myself how to program in various languages and working as a Fullstack developer at a very small startup.

While I’ve learned alot, there’s always more to learn and finding direction is a challenge you’ll hit many times over if you stick with it.

Right now I’m reviewing various Open Source Projects I could contribute to as I know ultimately this will make me a much better developer. There are so many CLI and web development tools I use that I’d like to expand on but will require a marginal jump in my skills. Here are a few examples:

• Add a feature to the rTorrent client that would allow it to torrent over i2p
• Expand the amount of tools available within the SolidJS framework ecosystem to be competitive with React’s ecosystem.
• Create a HTTP server in Rust that has feature parity with Golang’s Caddy
• Add a feature to AntennaPod akin to YouTube Sponsor block that would allow for user contributed timestamps to facilitate auto skipping of ad mentions in podcast episodes.

I also am slowly working out plans to learn enough about Rust and browsers to recreate the terminal based browser Links in Rust.

But these are all just me spitballing. In truth, my skills aren’t quite there yet and the amount of time to get there for each one of these is a lot. So I have to choose wisely and dive in deep on the project’s codebase, probably for at least a year or more to make headway. But this is the mindset I think might help you. Look into the software you use a lot or like the concept of. Figure out how you’d like to improve it or add to it. Reach out to the developers of said software however you can, either make your case for the improvements you want to make or just help out on something they want to do with the software. Learn, listen. Rinse and repeat.

Hope this helps a bit.

Rittenhouse has a hero complex, and can’t accept he’s nothing more than a deranged little shithead everyone knows is just a murderer that got away with it.

No one likes him, not even the right. The right used him when he was useful and then threw him away. How sad and pathetic that those were his “best” days, and they are behind him.

He’ll now try to regain his “glory” days by reliving that time he murdered innocent people. And hopefully this time he’s put away for life.

Assaulting a federal employee is a felony… that fucking moron. He should have sprayed enough capsaicin into his eyes that he would never see any presidential candidate or anything else again.

As a Jr Developer, I found this very helpful. Thanks.

“You will not replace us!” shouted the white supremacists after centuries of erasing a multitude of other cultures, histories, and societies.

locate, from the mlocate package. So useful. Honorable mention goes out to tldr.

I don’t need a device to doomscroll. I can step outside and simply bear witness to the world around me. Wherever I go, the doom is ever present.

Coprophilia is a thing, yes.

We need you Lina Khan. We need you, but stronger, faster, better. Let’s fucking go.

Just use firejail to sandbox it and find out.

What about whataboutism? Gotta protect against that too.

Does it come with nicotine? Cuz that’s kinda why I came in here…at least nicotine gives me a bit of a high while it slowly kills me. Rethink your new product.

I don’t know why this meme had me rflmao, but it really got me. 🤣

Honestly, right wingers and elites have the short sighted and sick obsession with simply jailing whoever they don’t like for various reasons.

This obsession with controlling the masses has already created the largest Prison Population per capita in the US. The result? Prisons give US capitalists a ready source of slave labor, and gives them complete control over the population at large.

This control is exerted via forcing compliance to societal norms through threat of incarceration, as well as the more obvious form of control via stripping of the autonomy of those already incarcerated.

Ultimately only narcicists and megalomaniacs and their most sycophantic bootlickers would remain free if these sick fascists had their way, and they (and the rest of us) would find themselves residing within a hell of their own creation: a truly fucked world where only the most power hungry are free…and truthfully they wouldn’t actually be free.

Their lust for power would innevitably become their fetters.

Hey, at least the hands aren’t horrific monstrous approximations of hot dogs any more…I dislike AI art but at least the hands got better. And yeah, in this case more accurate.

Damn…this looks really good actually. I’m sad to day I never heard of cohost until now. But I’ll admit I just identify with the founder’s sentiments around the tech industry, and their strict adherence to moral values around how a platform like that should interact with their users. I wish their developers all the best in looking for new work.

Nice writeup. One note: I don’t think the Fossify projects are abandoned. The creator has commits on the project as recent as 21 hours ago at the time of this writing. They just haven’t pushed updates to FDroid for a couple months.

Magnificent creature, 😊.
