we’re not all network engineers! there’s also uh… rust and haskell programmers, reverse engineers, hardware engineers, category theorists and topologists, uh… biochemists and physicists probably?
also there’s not like, loads of trans people. that’s why we’re so easy to attack.
we’re a good deal, if anyone wants to take us. a lot of us are reeeaaallyy good at science, math and programming. like the Jews fleeing Nazi Germany were pretty great for the countries who took them in as refugees.
watch the Court decide that the history-and-tradition framework justifies restricting guns from seditious groups, citing slave rebellion laws as precedent, while ruling that discriminating against trans people satisfies strict scrutiny. 6-3, with Alito writing for the Majority.
we’re so fucking cooked.
hugs from a fellow trans woman. <3
this sucks. living with transphobia and dysphoria sucks. I can’t promise it’ll get better. hold your community tight, help them and let them help you. we’re all we’ve got.
welp, that tears it. time to buy my first gun, while I still can. I’m not a big fan of guns but fuck if I’m going to let myself and my community be disarmed by the fascists. I’m not going quietly if they send us to the camps.
oof.
(I say, as though I don’t use my phone 4x more than my laptop, which is honestly a bad habit I need to break because programming on phone suuucks.)
curl | bash for the Windows crowd.
honestly it’s exactly as secure as running a binary you downloaded from their website. no more, no less (since https.)
the only computer user?!
whoa, an actually well-researched r/conspiracy post. like, incredibly well done.
I would have applauded!
well, it worked out for him but it didn’t really work out for him.
they look a lot like old Soviet children’s dolls/characters to me. like Cheburashka and Nevalyashka.
right you are, I confused my Times columnists!
I ran across the Good Work skit about it first and thought it was taken out of context. nope… dude was dead serious.
remember when he struggled to say that he supported the survival of the human race? it was during that Ezra Klein interview.
thank you for writing this up. ❤ I’m also trans and spent time in that particular community because I have very intense dysphoria/bdd and found other spaces to be toxically positive. it wasn’t a healthy place, and I picked up more brainworms, but I felt like I could vent and not feel so alone.
it’s really easy for people without crippling dysphoria to sit back and judge you for going to /tttt/. it’s unhealthy, I know it’s unhealthy, but sometimes unhealthy outlets are the only way I can make the hurt get better for a while. I can’t just be all uwu skirt go spinny when my body feels like sewage.
most fascists don’t call themselves fascists. so YouTube censoring the word “fascist” tends to muzzle people calling out fascists, not the fascists themselves. it vexes me.
lemmy.ml (used to?) automatically replace “bitch” with *removed*. I’d see people call themselves a “basic removed” or say “removed please” and it was very confusing. it applied to every message.
“cunt” wasn’t censored, though? or maybe they removed the filter at some point.
I’m not a tankie so I left and never looked back.
specifically this is how QUANTUMINSERT worked (from the Snowden leaks.) also China used the same technique, injecting malicious JS through the GFW to get bystanders to DDoS github, in a much more obvious and indiscriminate way.
nobody here is remotely likely to be targeted by NSA, of course, but you can actually do such attacks on a budget if you compromise any router in the chain. combined with a BGP hijack it’s not far out of reach for even a ransomware gang to pull something like that these days.
whoa Lowkey mentioned! yeah, that’s the kind of politically conscious hip-hop I meant. Immortal Technique was even moreso, but he’s been inactive for a long time and the extreme homophobia makes it hard for me to listen to, which is a shame.
