I am interested in two things:

  1. How the world works
  2. How we can make it better

My mission is to develop a deep understanding of how our world works — economically, politically, historically — and write to make it common knowledge.

I write wanting to address the problems in the world that keep us trapped in cycles of suffering.

I want to write a better world.

It wasn’t long ago that men put women in mental hospitals for disagreeing with them or being disagreeable at large.

@msquebanh @StillIRise1963 I wish we as a society were committed to housing, feeding and clothing everyone.

If we the privileged wouldn't be able to trap people in abusive situations as anyone would always be free to simply leave.

Sometimes, I think we need to stop blaming just Capitalism, and get more personal. Lots of countries use a Capitalistic system, but still manage to pay workers fair wages, provide free/inexpensive Healthcare, have paid maternity/paternity leave, longer paid vacation, shorter work weeks, ect. We use the word Capitalism like Christians use The Devil, but it's not some dark mysterious force, it is people who are choosing to treat other people like actual garbage, it is people who are making laws, people who are denying rights. The derision with which we speak the name of Elon Musk or Donald Trump, should be universal for rich fuckers who choose profits over people. They shouldn't get to hide behind, Oh, that's just late stage Capitalism. It's a choice for them, and it's a choice for the lobbyists who promote them, and it's a choice for the politicians who put those laws into action.

@RickiTarr Capitalism is the underlying system that rewards people for that behaviour.

What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

A new bill in Congress would extend some U.S. military benefits to the estimated 20,000 Americans currently carrying out the Gaza genocide as members of the Israeli military.

Started working on a Rust library that can model xhtml strict.

I have the plans to build a rust static site generate that leverages this, and a css library I will write to create something that will replace my existing website.

https://codeberg.org/sashin/xhtml

If anyone has pointers, or advice, I'm all ears!

I'm planning on modelling things as precisely as I can to this spec

When a Confluence page breaks down to gibberish cos a macro you've depended on is deprecated and then you have to manually go through 1001 pages to remove it and hopefully replace it with an equivalent macro but it doesn't exist so in the end you just copy and paste stuff

@liztai A markdown file is just a plain text file!

Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, markdown is in the eye or the software that interprets the file.

I started getting just a bag of dry beans in my grocery order. Then every week I make a big pot of beans with broth, onions, garlic, soy sauce, and spices. They smell so good cooking! The batch lasts for several days of very nutritious meals.

Does anyone use an MP3 player that they would recommend?

I'd want it to support bluetooth and use the not old usb-c port.

The one I'm currently using has the old usb port and when trying to charge it the cable keeps falling out

I fucking hate how predatory businesses are, checking options by default that could cause you to subscribe to something and spend a hundred dollars more than you'd planned, and they call it best value like they are doing you a favour

It's true. The file mangers for GTK are sub par across the board.

Thunar should be it. But it doesn't remember closing position well. It's supposed to, but it does not. At least past 5 tabs. Also, it has this odd behavior where you open a tab thinking one pane is in focus, but it opens it in the other pane. Very annoying.

Nautilus is still the slowest thing I've ever seen because it does not like that I have my open home folder and the regular location of XDG-DIRS are empty.

sashin,

@thelinuxcast Is speed the reason for thunar?

So I have been back to using ZSH for the last couple of weeks, this time without ohmyzsh.

For those of you who use zsh, I seem to remember zsh having much better tab complete. Like I could type 'downloads' and it would autocorrect to Downloads.

Mine doesn't do that. I know there's a line in zshrc that needs to be added, I did that. Anyone know why I don't get that feature? Or was that part of omyzsh and I'm just going to have to deal

sashin,
@sashin@veganism.social avatar

@thelinuxcast One sec, I'll have a look at mine. I have ohmyzsh installed though

sashin,

@thelinuxcast I don't see anything in my run commands which explains it, it must be something magical that ohmyzsh is doing

  1. Life is hard
  2. It's bad that life is hard
  3. We should make it less hard
sashin,
@sashin@veganism.social avatar
  1. The acute causes of the pain in life currently are material insecurity and high costs of living especially rent
  2. The deepest causes are capitalism, that the means of production, how we produce and distribute what we need to survive is privately owned and run for profit, a stable existence is made scarce to force most people into spending away their lives working jobs they wouldn't otherwise do, a meaningful existence seems scarcer still

Wearing my fave boots & pants again. Both are super comfy & both are my fave colour - #purple 😊

Side of backyard #SoilRemediation area is doing well! My cover crops mixes are choking out the fugly colonial non-native grass. I have native grasses in my homemade mixed cover crops mix. This area that I'm standing on was dead zone for years because of hard clay blocking plant growths. It took me 3 yrs to get soil healthy enough to grow more diversity!

@msquebanh This is really good.

I know people try to coordinate their outfits so that the colours compliment each other, but I've never heard of anyone coordinating so as to compliment the surrounding natural scenery!
