The initial draft MR to put a wallpaper on #phosh's lockscreen is now >1.5y old but it's not draft any longer 🎉 (I'll spare you the details why this took so long).

Apologizing to Canadians so much it makes them uncomfortable. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2025/3/7/2308551/-Cartoon-Canada-s-countermeasures

42% of cybercrimes in the UK are committed by police, who compose .04% of the overall population. Hard working bobbies you got over there.

@CedarTea Yes. I think it does explain a lot. At the beggining of the tarrifs crisis, it seemed a bit odd that Canadian politicians seemed to be very concerned about being treated the same as México.( and have shown zero solidarity so far to everyone's loss)
Then I saw reactions here in Europe. They are also very surprised to be treated like, well, we are used to being treated by the US in the global south(I am Mexican)
Realizing one day you are another colony of the US must be tough.

Now that the Bruins have been scrapped for parts (except Pastrnak/McAvoy) it should only cost Providence Bruins prices to see a game for the rest of the season.

In the early 2000s, Christian right lunatics were mocked for blindly find-replacing the word "gay" on websites. Now this insane censorship is US government policy.

Donald Trump and Republicans are engaging in the largest and most idiotic censorship operation in history.

It's wasteful malignancy that helps no one. Pure emotional pique. https://apnews.com/article/dei-purge-images-pentagon-diversity-women-black-8efcfaec909954f4a24bad0d49c78074

How can the public trust CBS journalists to cover the same administration that their bosses are bribing?

News outlets can't effectively expose corruption when they're part of it.

When laws are rushed, rights get trampled. The Take It Down Act can be easily abused. Tell Congress to stop it. https://act.eff.org/action/the-take-it-down-act-will-censor-legal-speech-without-helping-victims/

Elon Musk raining down 11,000,000 pounds of flaming toxic garbage on the newly-named Gulf of America seems somehow symbolic.

There's now a worse gig than Spinal Tap's puppet show and it's Trump's Kennedy Center. https://www.patreon.com/c/BrianMcFadden

On this day in 1942, Lucy Parsons passed away. Born into slavery, she became one of the most radical voices for labor rights, anarchism, and free speech in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She fought for workers, women, and marginalized groups - challenging capitalism and state oppression at every turn. Despite constant surveillance and censorship, she never wavered. Her words and actions continue to inspire us today.

“Governments never grant rights. They can only suppress rights.”

Hi everyone, for several hours we are currently fighting with potentially malicious crawling. We are seeing distributed access on Codeberg that could have been crawling, however it seems to only use the most expensive routes. And each time we block an access pattern, a new one pops up immediately.

We are doing our best to keep the performance up.

At least my state is staying out of this #crypto nonsense.

"I am not signing on to that stuff and I can't imagine a majority of your constituents want you to," Montana Republican State Rep. Bill Mercer said during floor debate.

Republicans and Democrats coming together to support...crypto. ofc.

"A North Carolina House committee this week held an initial hearing on a bill — titled the Digital Assets Investment Act — that would give the state treasurer authority to invest state funds in cryptocurrency...
The bill has the enthusiastic backing of North Carolina’s new House Speaker, Republican Destin Hall, as well as support from Democratic Gov. Josh Stein."
