Feels important to pen an #introduction post worthy of a follow or two... 🥴

Do you plan to #GiveUpGithub ?
Here’s the story of another train ride years ago when I did the same:

Dancing while standing in the aisle on the train to Malmö, Triangeln, confusing my fellow passengers slightly.
One of my favorite things to do.

Systems of violence and authority will always be more organized than us, by their very nature.
We cannot out-organize these systems on their own terms.
This is why voting is ineffective.
But we are capable of something that these systems are not.
We are capable of understanding and empathizing with people, outside of how they relate to these larger systems.
We will not win over systems of violence and authority by exerting contrary violence and attempting to seize authority.
We win over these systems by building bonds and communities which exist outside the mediation of capital, violence, and authority, so that when those systems lean on us to exert leverage, they find that their leverage is void, because we're not playing those games anymore.

Need to migrate a family member, hopefully off #gmail to a mail provider likely to be around for decades and maybe not creepy like Google. Suggestions? Free? Paid?
I've been on pobox.com/fastmail since 99 and pretty happy with it.

Hey guys! I'm looking for suggestions of fediverse alternatives for Twitch, if any. With Twitch's recent changes to discoverability they've basically nuked small channels and my numbers are basically nothing now. I don't need a perfect replacement I just need somewhere I could grow a small community and I'd rather avoid going over to Youtube *shudder*

Nice bit of reporting from Swedish Radio. They built an online fake pharmacy and activated Facebook advertising tools. Thousands of simulated visits to the pharmacy were made each day, and the reporters could see all the sensitive, personal information being stored by Facebook.
Facebook sent no warnings to the pharmacy, despite saying they have tools in place to prevent this from happening.
A few weeks ago they revealed how this was happening with real pharmacies.
A wildly meowing @popthecat2013 met me on the street when I was dropped off my my colleague a bit before one early in the morning or late at night or what ever that counts as.
He’d gladly just have had some food and then gone out again but I promptly locked him in.
He doesn’t look too uncomfortable, now does he, all snuggled up beside me in bed?

After a full day at FAT, 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra before headed out to dinner with my colleagues and the machine supplier.
Meet absolute hell:
👉👉👉Safety shoes.👈👈👈
Doing a 4-day FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) & have to wear these objects of torture. My feet are dying! 🥺
Stiff, hard, heavy, narrow, thick-soled, with drop=everything I’ve stayed away from for years as I wear nothing but barefoot shoes (or go barefoot) since years back.
Absolute hell!
The one redeeming factor is that I now realize just how horrible non-foot-friendly most footwear are, even though safety shoes might be extra horrible.

This has been fun over on IG.
Anyone wanna play here too? If so - tell me a lesser well known book you suggest I read!

@helenaroth Jag uppskattar att höra bildade och kloka människor samtala om olika ämnen. Ideologier glöms ofta bort i den vanliga politiska bevakningen, och i politiska samtal krymper de till etiketter som slängs hit och dit. Det tycks vara givet vilka som är goda och vilka som är dåliga, men det talas inte om vad faktiskt innehåller, och vilka partier som faktiskt står för den ena eller andra ideologin. ”Det politiska rummet” ger några oväntade upplysningar. Nyttigt.
