just horny and sex positive works too 😉

my new job is going to be union and i hope that we engage with sympathy strikes in some way to help initiatives like this.

i know that sympathy strikes are illegal in the united states; but there are multiple ways to help.

have you already tried asking in the steam forums about it?

the fediverse is designed to guard against the same kind of enshitification that reddit went into by keeping the same discourse alive everywhere regardless whether you use mastodon or lemmy or any other social media platform.

social media tribalism guarantees eventual enshitification of some kind, so keeping your options open makes sense should you ever decide to set sail on the fediverse sea after the people on your platform island have burned it all down due to the local culture war they insisted on fighting until its pointless end.

i've been switching from one social media platform to another since the 1990's because of enshitification and that's taught me that the platforms with investors behind it enshitify the in the worse ways possible (eg reddit, facebook, bluesky, etc.). so i think that the fediverse has the biggest and likeliest chance to survive all enshitification because of how it's designed to keep the discourse alive no matter how many power tripping mods or majority conversation shaping admins there are. (at least for now).

i've started this series on youtube named "The Anti Imperialism of Star Trek Deep Space Nine" and i learned that, once you subscribe and like a leftist channel & video that the algorithms start bombarding you with leftist videos and youtubers.

i feel like a alaskan bear during a salmon run trying to catch all the salmon it can before they all die off in mass a few days they've mated as i try to identify which youtuber to subscribe to and which video to click like button on as the algorithms keep showing me multiple new ones every day. lol

also: i find that melding (word play intended) in the little bits of theory that i can get from youtube alongside a life long passion; like i did for myself with star trek; makes me more eager to finish it and makes it kinda fun.

they'll all eventually be patched soon

that's in interesting perspective since i'm seeing the opposite with responses to all the questions.

i go through asklemmy every morning while i'm caffeinating at the start of each day because the questions usually wake me up with a WTF or a TIL.

i must be on their blocked list. lol

also: i wonder at how it weighs on your soul & outlook to feel like you have to curate such a list in a safe space.

the years as a system admin taught me that you can identify the influential contributors because they were the only people whose accounts were not immediately shut off when the management identified a bus factor.

and now i have a name for the phenomena; thank you.

the answer is always the same: look towards the future.

the accelerationism that trump is going to unleash of all of us is going to galvanize american voters into action and the last time that happened, we ended up with things like social security and unemployment as appeasements from the people in charge to neuter support for further leftward shifts in my country.

maybe this time around we'll get ubi after the dust settles.

be aware that there are known weak points in all commercial vpns except for mullvad and firefox (so far)

quit gossiping about me! lol

i'm leaving my cushy, fat-paychecked developer job for another one that doesn't leave me so conflicted with my leftists values and the content of this article is PRECISELY at the core of what i'll be doing most weekdays for the next 3-5 years.
