Sometimes I find this funny, which is kinda fucked up but it's either that or sadness, but one of my favourite things is when someone attacking communism does this.
"This is what the world would look like under communism:" literally a picture of injustice happening due to capitalism

oh fuck, there’s apparently a captcha solution that doesn’t make people go through bullshit GenAI/self-driving training shit (https://mcaptcha.org/)

and it’s apparently only self-hosted, which is both a benefit and a drawback. benefit because that’s a guarantee of privacy, drawback because wow that’s more work to get up and running. 8P

gonna have to set that up for my git repo. maybe one day i’ll also get akkoma to work with it too.

I appreciate that I live with a cat that’s so chill and calm that, like, if you put your face up close to theirs, they’ll just.

Sniff it.

“Ah yes. This is one of my favourite Tall, Weird Cats With Two Legs. I will sniff them. Good evening, Tall Fucked Up Cat.”

(This is the single most normal thing this cat does. It all gets less normal from here.)

The new Kindle models don’t support any type of sideloading, which also means there’s no way to remove the DRM, no way to back up books, and no way to obtain delisted books you’ve already purchased but haven’t backed up. They also don’t have any buttons. If you’re in the Kindle ecosystem, now is the time to remove all that DRM and get out.

For large ebook stores there’s ebooks.com, Nook, and Kobo. There’s also several smaller ones.

In terms of devices, Onyx Boox, Pocketbook, Kobo, and the emerging categories of e-note devices like the ReMarkable, and reflective/transflective LCD devices like the Daylight DC-1, all compete with Kindle. The Kindles are still appealing devices with an economic edge, but where the competition is behind it’s not far behind, and where it’s ahead it’s ahead.

SOMA can essentially be summarised as "guy realises too late the difference between carbon copies and forwards after being CC'd into the future" and i think that's beautiful

While I haven't always been accepting and understanding of every identity1, I have done my best for a long time to keep up with and be supportive about LGBTQIA+ issues. Probably half of that was because I had a good handful of queer friends growing up. The other half was because I also didn't feel "normal," by society's definition. I just wanted to feel accepted as I was, and I wanted all of my queer friends to feel the same, because who was I to tell anybody who they should love or what form they should take in this world?

It was only recently, maybe a year ago, that I realized I'm nonbinary. This conclusion was a long time coming because I don't have any body dysmorphia, and I didn't recognize the few moments I had felt gender dysphoria throughout my life. Overall I like being a "man-shaped enby thing" and don't feel the need to change much about my presentation.

anyway all of this is to say, fuck anybody who tries to give you impostor syndrome over who you are. You're valid to me. If I can be gender nonconforming and look like the most normie-ass white guy (albeit one who only wears soft pants), your identity is valid as fuck. don't let the haters make you doubt your inner truth

i love learning about old weird experiments with renewables:

Brush was another engineer to dabble in renewable energy in semi-retirement. Having made a tidy sum from selling his arc lights to cities around the world, he built a mansion for himself on Cleveland’s high-end Euclid Avenue and, in 1888, built a huge wind turbine that gave electrical lighting to his home, without failure, for 20 years. A cover story from a December 1890 edition of Scientific American paints an almost fantastical image of a 60ft wind turbine built from 144 blades, twisted like screw propellers. This fed a basement full of hundreds of jars acting as a battery, powering 350 incandescent lightbulbs, two arc lights and three electric motors. The cover illustration shows two men standing on top of an almost skyscraper-like turbine, having climbed up several flights of internal staircases. Among stories of a pineapple grove in Florida, a trip to the North Pole in a balloon and government debates on the artificial production of rain, Scientific American’s wind power feature warns that the wind might be free, but Brush’s elaborate set up for turning it into electricity must have been very expensive indeed. Still, they muse: ‘There is a great satisfaction in making use of one of nature’s most unruly motive agents.’
