Florida is now set to join Texas is banning mandatory water and rest breaks for people who work outside in the summer heat. It's like Republicans just want people to get sick and even die.

Well I'll introduce myself then. I'm a 54 year old, White, lesbian, trans woman, computer programmer living just northwest of Houston in Waller County. Ummm, not sure what else to say. Music interests? Irish folk music, classical music, 60's and 70's rock, especially prog rock, jazz of all kinds from all decades, electronic and dance music. Politics are very left bordering on socialism.

Not content with DRM in overpriced ink cartridges, HP now wants you to start RENTING printers for the low, low price of only $36 a month with the number of printable pages per month limited.

Could everyone please tell HP to kindly go fuck themselves?

A lot of time I feel like I'm not making any good progress on my projects.

And then I look back at my dev blog and see all the stuff I have done, which is usually quite consequent.

I think my struggle is related to my attention span and tendency to procrastinate by doing something else that what I intended. This seems to translate into a sentiment of "laziness" or under achievement.

In other news of mistreatement of immigrants, an 18 year old farm laborer was harassed by officers who started to assault him when he couldn't answer their questions because he didn't speak English. One of the officers had a heart attack after the assault was over, and now the immigrant has been charged with murder.

I think there was an episode of the PowerPuff Girls where Mojo Jojo does exactly that. He takes control of the City of Townsville and then turns out to be a highly competent leader and administrator who is loved for usherering in a golden age, but he quits after deciding that actually ruling the city is boring.

References to purity when discussing voting (as in, "leftists need to stop their purity seeking and vote Biden") just read as genocide denial and apologia to me at this point. Perhaps you think that it is strategically necessary to hold your nose and vote for Biden. But saying that people who don't agree with you on the strategic necessity of voting for a genocide enabler are seeking purity is such an obvious distortion of reality that a person might start to wonder if you actually are holding your nose. Maybe he smells just fine to you.

People are complicated, but I don't think a person can understand and feel even a portion of the impact of Biden's continued material support for Israel and say that people who won't vote for him are seeking purity. Purity. The word choice itself is cruel. In my opinion, personally.

As a transgender lesbian I want to point out that you are chosing to sacrifice LGBT people in America. You are simply picking a different genocide.

@dragora @claude_cahun

What's happening in Gaza IS a genocide and it absolutely needs to stop. But implying that you are OK with having Trump and the Republicans take over America just to send a message is also incredibly fucked.

I love how the United States of America now has interanal refugees - transgender people fleeing from oppresive states to free states - and the media and general public just don't care. It gives me great hope for this country.

HP's CEO also just said that customers who don't buy supplies from HP are a "bad investment". His attitude that customers are there to provide a benefit to the company rather than the other way around shows how much HP has fallen from the days when it made solid products and engineering tools.

Remember to share positive posts, memes, etc. about open source things you use and like. A simple “I like this” or “thanks for working on this” can go a long way!

Happy people carry on using things quietly while negativity gets shared, memed, and shoved in front of folks who work on your favorite projects. One negative comment too often outweighs ten positive ones, because human brains are dumb.

Spread positivity, save someone from burnout.

And to anyone who hasn't already done so, throw a few dollars/pounds/euros or whatever currency you use to your Mastodon server so that we can keep this great network alive and strong in the future!

    In 1692, a priest complained to the Spanish king that there were too many bars in city and women in them were too tempting.

    Still, the book "the flower and the scorpion" is really enlightening in ways that cannot be explained in a single toot.

    The sexual history of is so complex it defies all modern labels and expectations of modern western thinking, and involves heavy use of "sorcerer's speak" to talk about (1/?)
