Fuck the mainland government, actual Nazis of our generation. White power groups are fucking small-time. I stand with Hong Kong. Tell your own government so if you feel the same way. Not CW'd because it's your responsibility to know about and act on this problem.

The Washington Post's motto is "democracy dies in darkness".
A subscription to the Washington Post's digital edition costs $100 per year.
The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos.
BusinessInsider estimates Jeff Bezos makes $2,489 per second.
The Washington Post reports 86.6 million unique visitors.
Jeff Bezos makes enough money in a little over than 40 days to buy every single one of those 86.6 million people a subscription.
So it's clearly not lack of money that causes the Washington Post to have a paywall.
Which means there's only one possible reason for their tagline to be "democracy dies in darkness".
It's not a foreboding warning. It's their mission statement.

in case you've ever wondered why the "techbro" stereotype is so widely despised, here is a handy set of four images demonstrating why
@CalmByte@cybre.space some other CI tools also let you but make it so difficult that it’s easier to clutter the git history (Jenkins, for example). I like how Sourcehut’s is so easy to use that it’s natural to do it directly
@sir it probably wouldn’t make sense for you to switch to it now, but Mnemosyne (https://mnemosyne-proj.org/) is a good open source software equivalent to Anki that makes it much easier to self-host than Anki does afaik
@sir that’s how I was eventually able to do it. At some point I’ll memorize morse code so I can output text that way, but that day is not today.

I don't understand why GitLab is doing these things. Even on behalf of Sourcehut, there are subsets that I don't really try to compete with GitLab on. They have a place in this ecosystem and they're working to undermine it. They're making a void that I, even as a competitor, don't want to and am not prepared to fill. The community is going to suffer for their missteps.
I feel really bad for their employees. If I could help, I would, but Sourcehut isn't big enough to provide a fallback for them. To any GitLab employees who know something I can do to help, or just want to talk, I can lend a sympathetic and private ear at sir@cmpwn.com.

Spirituality
Bring house gods and spirits back
Build a small shrine some place you see all the time
Fill it with things you enjoy looking at, things you want to attract in life
Offer smoke and incense
Does it work?
Does it matter?
A corner of your home is beautiful for nothing but belief and aesthetic appreciation
Good spirits live there, no matter what anyone says
And you made them yourself

New in iOS 13.2: A gender-neutral option for nearly all human emojis!
@sir I’d love to see it if you’re making them anyway.
@sir Also, could you talk some more about your financial projections, specifically what the different projections show for the next couple of years?
