I have a feeling that I'm going to catch some shit for this cheeky t-shirt design. And yet, I'm sharing it anyhow… 🤷‍♂️😅

Just came to this quote in “A People’s History of the United States” and thought it worth sharing — even though May Day is almost over.

“If the workers of the world want to win, all they have to do is recognize their own solidarity. They have nothing to do but fold their arms and the world will stop. The workers are more powerful with their hands in their pockets than all the property of the capitalists.”

Trying to come up with a honeypot service that redirects any AI crawlers that visit a site to HEAVY Scots English translations of the posts and pages that it thinks that it's scraping.

Oh, nice! Dark Visitors (a list of known AI crawlers) has a plugin that'll update your robots.txt whenever a new bot gets added to their collection.

It'll even let you pick the types of crawlers that you want to block.

We didn't like any of the other spaces — corporate bootlicking, toxic positivity, shitty people, tolerance of racists, neoliberalism — so we made our own. 🧷

If your instance won’t sign on, find a smaller instance that already has. There’s a list of a few hundred listed over on the fedipact site. 😉

We don’t need the “flagship” instances that will put up with the corporate colonization of this beautiful network that we’ve all built together.

Wireless earbuds with ANC and replaceable batteries?!

You know, my AirPods Pro recently developed a bit of a rattle in the left earbud and I have been thinking about replacements… 🤔

Heads up: You’ll totally have to pirate this new Nic Cage live-action Spider-Man show because it's on a service (MGM+) that nobody pays for.

I honestly don't want to spend the rest of my day futzing around with config files, so has anyone got a .wezterm.lua they like with sane defaults?

Hey pals: If you were designing the WXR¹ format today, what would you do differently? What do you think is missing from the current spec?

Since it's no longer 2004, would you do the whole thing in JSON instead? Would you package images in with the post content like TextBundle?

I want to hear some big ideas. Go nuts!

@mathowie It's a drag that I have to remember how to make a new one of these every time a political text makes it past my iOS automations, but they've worked pretty well for me:

Friendly reminder: If you find yourself absolutely needing to share a post from Chris, Jairaj, and Hamish's Nazi Haven () it only adds another minute to ask https://archive.today to grab a fresh copy for you so you can link there instead and not give them any additional traffic.

Lately I’ve been loving audiobooks written/performed by comedians. They’re like high production podcasts lasting 6-8hrs, costing 15 bucks and honestly? A good deal. They tend to slow down the pace to maybe 1 big joke per minute instead of rapid-fire open mic standup.

It’s kind of silly the authors have to get a book deal, spend years writing, wait 1-2 years for publishing to put it out, then record their book.

I wish I could just pay a comedian $20 directly for a mp3 (cut out the print aspect)

@mathowie There's a better way, friend! Allow me to put you onto Libro.fm:

https://libro.fm/referral?rf_code=lfm224476

  1. They're not Apple or Amazon.
  2. The books don’t have a bunch of terrible DRM. They're just MP3/M4B files that you can play wherever you'd like.
  3. You can set a participating bookstore to get a share of the profits from every book you buy.

Disclaimer: That is absolutely a referral link that nets me a free book if you sign up. :melting_cringe:
