You know I really hate the word “dispensing”, for no reason I can put my finger on.

Semi-related: we have a new appliance that uses this forbidden word and it has quickly become my least favourite appliance, despite “dispensing” one of my favourite items (coffee). I’m profoundly conflicted about this.

You know I don’t even care if the numerous dipshits maliciously misinterpreting the 2nd Amendment to completely ignore the bit about “well regulated militia” are right or not; the point is that the grotesque lack of gun regulation in the US is resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent victims every year. If the 2A is the reason for that, then it should be amended!

One thing I have yet to see much of in this debacle is much if any empathy for the original project maintainer. From what I can gather they’ve been toiling away on this project for at least 2 decades, have faced mental health issues in that time that required them to take breaks from it, and that the alleged hacker potentially conned their way into a position of authority for the project.

I can’t imagine how awful they must feel right now, likely compounding their mental health challenges, and really hope that no one is piling on them. Working on can be a thankless job, and a small minority of users can be unreasonably entitled and vocal about it - I really hope those toxic types aren’t piling on.

Has anyone else noticed that kolektiva.social seems to consistently harbour some of the most deranged people visible in this corner of the Fediverse? I haven’t bothered checking what that instance purports to be about, but the pattern is quite glaring.

I’ve decided that “mananigans” should be a word. It’s when a man gets up to stereotypically male shenanigans.

Examples might include things like:

  • refusing to ask for directions when lost
  • trying to repair something he has no knowledge of
  • doing just about anything on a roof

If you’re anti-EV, you’re pro-suicide-by-climate. It really is that simple. Yes public transit and smaller personal transportation conveyances (bikes, e-bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc. etc. ad infinitum) are vastly better transport options in dense urbanised areas (including a lot of the Bay), but ~70% of the US population don’t live in such areas [1], and we don’t have time to redesign, rezone, and rebuild that 70% in order to make it public transit / personal transportation compatible.

We have about a decade give or take to massively reduce our carbon emissions or we’re literally toast. And yes EVs aren’t even close to being enough, but they are a quick, substantial, and comparatively easy win that doesn’t require implausible solutions like rebuilding 70% of society by the mid 2030s.
