The only thing I like about Deadlock is the wolfgirl.

@mattblaze It is frustrating that when people say "the election was rigged" they usually mean it in the context of actual fabrication, which is without evidence, and without some extraordinary measures to do so covertly, utterly implausible.

Meanwhile "the election was rigged" is very real in the systemic, political sense (gerrymandering, voter suppression, etc), with plenty of documentary evidence and far too commonly a reality. It is a shame people fall back on the former.

@arclight having seen a fire truck literally drive through a fire because it wasn't the relevant fire... yes.

I'm #gay #vegan and #Jewish and I feel very alone.

@spla discrepo. Votar segons què obviament és contraproduent. Per sort aquest cop tindré una opció que no faci fàstic de votar. I si alhora no hagués passat el tall, a falta d'altra cosa, vot en blanc.

On the eve of the U.S. midterms, here's a 2024 story from Prison Journalism Project written by four incarcerated writers who've never been able to vote. "I have begun to think of everything I do in the community as a referendum. If I pick up a bit of trash, I am voting for a clean community. If I leave it there, well, that’s a vote too. If I refrain from violence, even in thought, I am voting for a more loving world. Even though the state has the power to stop me from drying off, it can never keep me from getting into the water of democracy. It’s where we live and I’m gonna splash around as much as I can," says Troy Chapman.

@fesshole experiential learning

One of those minefields which comes down to a guess to distract me from the news.

One thing I've taken away from some of these things is that a lot of communities say "well we can't ban genAI contributions, because you never really know", and maybe you won't for some, though you might for a lot, but for sure some will slip through

But also what we are seeing is that vibecoders / slop artists will absolutely take their ball and leave in a huff if you say it isn't welcome here

Sometimes they'll even start a completely separate thing for them

And great! Go do it.

But yeah, placing rules of such things do work. And it does help preserve communities.

GEFS on OpenBSD continues to improve

A little while ago, we talked about 9front's Good Enough File System being ported to OpenBSD. A lot of progress has been made on this front lately. Aside from fixing bugs and porting over fixes from the 9front side, there's also been a ton more substantial changes.

Some userspace tools have been done (you can now mkfs on openbsd!), but snapshot control hasn't

Act stupid.

@ramsey im more chill with the attribute syntax than i am with the namespace escape i mean backslash. the namespace delimiter of \ i will take that grudge beyond the grave as an angsty spirit haunting those who remain.

@raymierussell I suppose you also remind surgeons to wash their hands before performing medical procedures, too.

First test of multiple days of rain, spar varnish is better but we have failures on the edge of the table. This is not going to survive the El Nino season without me finding more spar varnish. #furniture #sparvarnish #rain
