@elmussol I'm more concerned that they will all fuse together into a giant super-bastard, a shambling mass of blonde hair and wretched fleshiness, destroying all in its parth.
@ferryoons I think Larry's got the advantage now, because any potential 'Big Dog' conquests will, effectively, be partaking in necrophilia at this stage of his life.
@Lazarou Whenever I hear 'Hung Parliament', I think of a never-made Robin Asquith sex comedy called "Confessions of a Westminter MP", where he whips his honorable member out, and the Permanent Under Secretary for Women's Knickers purrs: "Ooh, now that's what I call a hung parliament!"
You get spied on by Microsoft, any asshole in the world knows what to do: you get a Distro with a 25 year reputation, an indestructible economy shitbox laptop, you update once a week and that's your base, get me? That's your fortress of fucking solitude. That puts you, for the rest of your life, at a level of fuck you. Somebody wants to install malware, fuck you! Own your laptop. Have a couple flatpaks. Dont drink. That's all I have to say to anybody on any social level." #linux#debian#copilot
I am a run-of-the-mill Android-phone-Windows-desktop-Gmail-user but now I'm in the process of transitioning from Gmail and using Duck Duck Go to research how to set up a Linux desktop.
Oh, and also now Signal-curious.
What is this place? Some kind of privacy cult LOL?
Microsoft are incredible, people already hated Windows 11 and now they've got this 'Recall' function which just grabs a snapshot of everything you're doing on your machine and letting whoever gets lucky to have a look too.
Somebody burst that Silicon Valley bubble, please!
I'd appreciate if you could share this around. As someone opposed to #Spotify for a dozen reasons there was only #Bandcamp that was semi-ethical & gave musicians a fair deal. Bandcamp is under new ownership, had big layoffs, changed their terms & are starting playlists (likely to fill with AI music?). Thankfully coops such as Mirlo offer a place to share our music that doesn't simply enrich dubious tech giants. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mirlo/mirlo #newMusic#streaming#coops#music#kickstarter
@media_dept I note with some amusement that all the Bandcamp nut-riders have suddenly achieved en masse radio silence. For all that, I hope Miro is a big success.

Look, the thing about a union is that on one hand, it's there to negotiate working conditions under capitalism and like, I agree with you that this is not an ultimate goal of any sort. On the other hand, once you're IN a union, you're part of an organized, mobilized bloc of labor class ppl working together towards a larger goal. Radical unionism, which is what anarcho-syndicalists are sometimes called, is about taking that organized bloc BEYOND your workspace and using it to do anticapitalism.
@AnarchoNinaWrites I'm reminded of the UK's National Union of Journalists, who've always done right by me, but also the University and Colleges Union, which, err, did not, and was, in fact, run by some of the nastiest, stupidest and just plain corrupt shits imaginable.
So, yes, in full agreement with you about unions, with the caveat that you have to be careful about which one you join, and who you will be organising with.
