Baba, how is the massive heatwave treating you?

EMPLOYMENT IS GREENHOUSE

BABA IS BAD

Do not think for a moment that this admin is only going after trans folks. They are ultimately going after the whole LGBTQ community. They start small, like getting rid of a hotline option, then go BIG.

A quick guide to Mastodon!

OK so imagine if Email and Twitter had a baby...in fact don't, please don't, it's a Tulpa I don't wanna see. Anyway.

Mastodon is a Federated Microblogging service, meaning that instead of Mastodon being one singular thing that is owned by one person or company who can do what Elon did to Twitter, Mastodon is a load of different, independently run instances that all talk together to create the network we call mastodon.

You know how one person doesn't own and run all of email and instead it's all independent Email Services that can talk to each other, well it's basically like that, but Microblogging.

OK, but Why?

OK so you know how Elon Musk bought twitter instead of working to solve world hunger and basically turned it into his own little propaganda channel where you can't even say the word "Cisgender"? Well that can't happen with mastodon because it's a whole load of services that talk together, so if Elon buys mastodon.social, it's users can easily use the migration tool to move to another instance and if things get really bad, other instances can block toxic instances.

There's also other advantages, you know how most social media sites make money through engagement by forcing people together and creating an environment were people fight each other, well due to the compartmentalized nature of Mastodon, someone on an LGBT Instance and someone on a Conservative Instance can stay separate, but if someone wants to follow someone from another instance, they can. It also means that trolls and bigots need to put in legwork to find targets, which they rarely do.

For for example, I (@abbiistabbii@blahaj.zone) can and do follow people from other instances, and they can follow me, but we're not forced together like on twitter. A lot of instances have a global feed feature or a bubble feed feature which let's you see the firehose of all the instances they talk to.

Wait, Can I run my own instance?

If you have the knowhow and hosting, yes!

OK so how do I access this "Mastodon".

Well first you need to join an instance. Here's a load of instances you can join.

General Ones

mas.to

ohai.social

mstdn.party

Regional Ones

mastodon.scot

mstdn.ca

aus.social

Specialized ones

defcon.social (tech and stuff)

tech.lgbt (tech/lgbt)

woof.tech (Furry)

Full list here.

A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"

"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.

"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

There's gonna be three, a male, female and non-binary one. The female kneeling knight emoji will be a ✨ gift ✨ to lesbians.

Top reasons for there to be a kneeling knight emoji

- Defending women online

- Offering women support when they are in distress

- Commenting on a woman's selfie

- Offering to kill people bothering your online friend

- Sexual reasons

The haunting ancient Celtic carnyx being played for an audience. This is the sound Roman soldiers would have heard their Celtic enemies make.

I remember when coaches had TVs on them, like right at the front.

Like if we were going on a school trip and it was really long (like camp/outdoor education), they'd put on a film for us to watch! Unparalleled.

Nothing makes truly evil people more mad than people laughing at them, so yes, keep making those signs.

Gaud I want you to know something but I did historical shit for the National trust for Scotland's garden department but before lawnmowers they fucking used Scythes, like very special scythes and scythe users to keep their special show lawns cut and neat.

When the romantic movement came into vogue, big "natural" looking parklands became the norm, so they'd have a special lawn in front of the house but everywhere else? They rented the fields to Shepards to graze their sheep which brought in a bit of money. Like 80% of articles for specific houses on the Newspaper archives are ads in the local paper advertising parklands for grazing. They figured out how to make grass into money.

Anyway, lawnmowers came along, and now we have lawns in every home with a garden because it used to be a show of wealth to have ✨ special fancy grass ✨ to use for bowls or croquet or tennis. Really the only people who care about grass this much are Bowls and Golf Clubs, who employ most of the greenkeepers in the world today.

Oh and I nearly forgot, some land sculptures actually do use sheep and goats for grass cutting, especially in hard to mow places, and there's one near me on the M8 motorway.

what if we kept lawns but got rid of lawnmowers. that could be so funny

so i found you from that post (which will be obvious once you read the rest off this ask) and want to say the following: get nazipie and the defender of that (or any for that matter) billionaire pdf file off of linux and maybe i’ll consider switching to linux

also please give the mad computer scientist an albert wesker makeover

A...are you not using Linux because Pewdiepie and Stallman are Linux users?

You know that, for one, you, potentially using Linux, will not positively or negatively affect the Lives of Stallman or Kjellberg and for two, there are some even worse people using Windows and Mac and Android and iOS, yet you still use it. You using Linux will have no positive or negative baring on you or anyone else.

This isn’t like JK Rowing and Harry Potter, where watching the new Harry Potter or buying a Galbraith book gives money to the Wicked Witch of Weem which she then uses to strip trans and gender variant people of their rights. Even when Stallman was fucking Head of the FSF before being kicked out, you using nano or any other GNU project did nothing to benefit Stallman or anyone because it was Free and Open Source Software! The whole point was that Stallman didn’t really own it as we would know it and he would not benefit financially because, again, it’s Free and Open Source Software: he doesn’t benefit financially because the whole point of it is that it’s released, free of charge, as a public good.

Also Pewdiepie is just a Linux user. You using Linux does not benefit him nor should it reflect badly on you. He’s not getting a check from the Linux Foundation every time someone downloads and installs Mint or Ubuntu. He’s literally just using Arch and Hyprland. Now would I use Arch? No, but that’s because Arch is a complicated Distro and I like GUIs, simple to use TUIs and a set up that doesn’t break with every update. Do I use Hyprland (despite some of it’s own drama)? Yes, because it’s a great Window Manager. I’m writing this post while using Hyprland! It does not, however, make me a Nazi because Pewds is too.

Unless you’re using a Distro that does something like, charge you to use it and sends money to the KKK or something, using Linux has no baring on you and provides no benefit to anyone like Stallman or Kjellberg because again, they do not benefit financially benefit or benefit in any way from you using it. Stallman doesn’t financially benefit from you using it on principle and right now, he’s toxic goods and nobody wants to even go near him, so he can’t even benefit on clout.

Terrible people are going to be using Linux, terrible people are going to even contribute to projects, hell, terrible people are going to start and lead projects (see xLibre, which is a laughing stock anyway because nobody is going to use X.org anyway and the guy leading it is a toxic rightwing nutcase who’s been kicked out of projects for being a right wing nutjob) but the thing about Open Source Software is that they don’t really benefit in any tangible ways because, by definition, Free and Open Source Software is free and Open Source. If you don’t use any technology used by horrible people, you’d be butt naked and living in the woods.

Go use Linux, Stallman and Kjellberg aren’t gonna benefit from it in anyway and the other people using it won’t have any baring on you as a person. If anything, using Linux is a net positive because it saves eWaste from going to the tip. If using the same distro as Stallman and Kjellberg bothers you, don’t use Trisquel or Arch. I don’t, but it’s not because of Stallman and Kjellberg, it’s because I wanna use Non-free stuff on my system and Arch is...well...Arch.

So the party that wants to make it harder for transgender people to get HRT want to make it easier to Chemically Castrate sex offenders? Like "oh we can't let transgender people access hrt unless we're vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv sure because otherwise it'll cause "irreversible changes" and that's a tragedy, but we'll chemically castrate sex offenders?

So they keep certain meds away from trans people to fuck them over but use chemicals to punish others.
