Too chaotic for a paladin

Amateur artist and junior IT administrator. Mostly self-trained in chaotic and often destructive ways. Opponent of mainstream social media and nasty digital surveillance, wanna-be cypherpunk. Linux user since 2013. Fully degoogled since December 2019. Fully BigTech-free since March 2024.
Synesthete. That weird freak who sometimes uses Daedric alphabet. Even weirder freak who use bare IP address instead of some server name.
Cryptography is my only religion - does Church of Wael look for new members?

Because if hell is underground, it should be under oceans. And its gates would be in deepest place, guarded by creatures like this :blobCat_devil:

Note this peculiarity. Cows.

The letter A is said to be a bull, upside down. Money was said to first have the head of a cow on it, meaning one coin was one head of cattle.

Do we worship the almighty dollar or a bovine god?

@nlpbot As a Slav I could confirm :D In our myths there was Weles, god of afterlife, magic and oaths who also was the god of wealth and prosperity. And in our agricultural Slavic culture symbol of prosperity was cows (the bigger the herd, the more lucky and wealthy farmer is), so cows were associated with this deity. Modern Slavic pagan groups use symbol similar to upside down letter A as symbol of Veles (I also have this symbol among my tattoos).
One time I drew Veles as a man with cow horns, sitting near lying brown bull :D

Forced cashless society.

Our nearby small market town used to have 3 banks; they're all closed (taking their cash machines with them), and this week one of the two remaining cash machines was removed from the supermarket where it was located.

So, we're down to a single cash machine in an area with a radius (I'm guessing) of around 20 miles.

The cashless society doesn't represent consumer choice, its pace is being forced by financial institutions keen to charge fees on transactions!

@GezThePez @ChrisMayLA6 I am in Warsaw, Poland and last two weeks I saw few cases of small restaurants mentioning they prefer cash payments. Haven't thought it could be a part of bigger trend yet but maybe something is happening...

Sitting - based on my mother's photos. I rather exactly "copied" its pose.
For some reason pattern on its head and wings looks like the sky for me. Not sure if it was so visible on original photos.

Another "like a tribal tattoo" ... this time. Planned to draw it more like these clay figurines decorated with coloured glass shards available in souvenir shops :blobcatjoy:​

Niby człowiek wiedział, ale jak obejrzał materiał z zebranymi badaniami, to mu się zrobiło trochę straszno.

Nie wystarczy dla powstrzymania naszego wymierania (katastrofy klimatycznej) zrezygnować z paliw kopalnych.

Trzeba jeszcze zmienić rolnictwo i ludzką dietę.

Zostawienie tego tak, jak jest, pozostawi przy życiu jedynie najbogatszych.

@warroza @sp6mr @rail_ @m0bi13 jestem za tym żeby się rozpowszechniło. Kupuję od paru miesięcy to, co jest dostępne w lokalnych sklepach i jakoś żyję, to nawet smaczne jest i w większości zawiera mało cukru jeśli wierzyć tym tabelkom na opakowaniach.

I nie, unia nie opłaciła mnie, żebym napisała ten post :blobcatpusheen:

Klasyczny przykład podcinania gałęzi, na której się siedzi. Firmy najpierw zalały ludzi spamem telefonicznym, a teraz zaczynają płakać, że nikt nie odbiera od nich telefonów jak mają prawdziwą potrzebę kontaktu z klientem...

"So many people no longer answer calls from unrecognized numbers that it's becoming almost pointless to try to call customers when there are legitimate issues they need to resolve."

madargon,
@madargon@is-a.cat avatar

@pluszysta @rdrozd @revanmj Ja od kilku lat nie używam telefonu jako telefonu. I obecnie jeśli mam połączenie nie przez Signal to ponad 99% przypadków to jakiś spam, fotowoltaika, ubezpieczenia samochodów, spotkania dla emerytów...
Czasem to nawet odbieram i kładę telefon na stole, niech się bot wygada i straci trochę czasu. Chciałabym powtórzyć taki numer jak widziałam opisany na jakiejś stronie, że ktoś puścił jednemu botowi wypowiedzi innego, z drugiego telefonu albo jakieś nagranie, żeby go zapętlić i zmarnować spamerom więcej czasu :devil:

Why the hell login via identity card is so much pain every damn time?!?

madargon,
@madargon@is-a.cat avatar

@MartinBe Maybe it is somehow related to their smartcard reader software, distributed via the same government sites. I remember how I laughed reading their manual, definitely wrote by someone who never saw Linux.

@madargon@is-a.cat avatar

@MartinBe Every service there, related to taxes, voting, some weird services using their "inbox" etc. are the same. Chain of weird redirections, sometimes with as suspicious addresses as real scam sites. And I dare you to use adblockers in browser...

Not even sure if it was original, I saw it here many times independently last few days, from various accounts posting this.
I imagined it as some - - , most possibly living underwater so it could move quickly in this shape :blobcatjoy:​
