Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

"Great Satan" is too complimentary. We are Satan's Fuck-Up Cousin, Dirty Dennis, the Drunken Devil.

Living in a dumb country ruled by dummies sucks. They got mad at a middling technocrat nerd and burnt the world down.

Casey Means dropped out of her residency program.

She’s not a practicing physician.

She’s a “wellness influencer”.

She wants you to vibe your way to better health.

She’s skeptical of birth control, Advil and vaccines.

She’s not just unqualified, she’s dangerous.

The wellness to eugenics pipeline is well documented:

ICE kills on American soil.

DOGE has killed 800,000 by cutting USAID

They’ve murdered over 100 people in illegal boat strikes in the Caribbean.

Invaded Venezuela without Congressional approval.

Now Trump says US citizens may die in Iran.

You are expendable.

Everyone’s expendable under fascism.

It’s why we resist.

Wonder why anyone in Aotearoa NZ is celebrating RocketLab's launch. For his own gain and glory, Peter Beck (I don't see justification for his honourific) betrayed the trust of the komatua of Mahia Peninsula and sold us out to perhaps the least honourable country in the world these days. Here's the story if you haven't already seen it: https://northandsouth.co.nz/2021/03/14/rocket-lab-military/

aspberry time: I wanted to plant some more, so I looked up recommended varieties for North Carolina

only to find the official recommendation for raspberries in this part of the South is "DO NOT ATTEMPT."

Turns out I've been growing raspberries in defiance of natural law this whole time 🤷‍♀️

It is astonishing how many companies have decided almost all of their data work should be done by writing shit-tons of YAML, sometimes with bits of code jammed into random strings

And by astonishing I mean I'm going to be on the news the next time I see it

Labour’s worst fears realised by Greens’ victory in Gorton and Denton byelection - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/feb/27/labour-worst-fears-realised-greens-victory-gorton-denton-byelection "Result shows progressive voters they have an alternative to Labour against Reform UK, and reveals task ahead for Starmer" this is the key #greens

Drop in overseas workers is ‘car crash’ for UK hospitals and care homes, say experts - https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/feb/26/drop-in-overseas-workers-uk-hospitals-and-care-homes people voted for #uklabour to save #nhs; instead, they are destroying it with their racism

Burger King turns to #AI to flame broil employees who aren't friendly enough - https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/26/burger_kings_new_ai/ I predict this will become common, alas... #surveillance

At least there's still a robust independent media. Hang on, a moth just flew out of my wallet and is whispering something to me.

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

New article out about what a million satellites could do to our atmosphere. It's bad. https://theconversation.com/a-new-space-race-could-turn-our-atmosphere-into-a-crematorium-for-satellites-276366

Some folks at #FOSDEM tried to buy the makeshift hats one of our team members brought, so I arranged for this prototype of an official hat to be made. It's a fisherman beanie with our logo embroidered. I'm trying to gauge interest here. Is this something you'd buy? (Poll in follow-up post)

With all the discussion around detecting when a code repo contains commits authored by an LLM, I think it is important to note commits like the following in Mozilla Firefox from 2 weeks ago:

"Bug 2011195 - When an agent commits, don't add itself as author"

https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/commit/71cc24b6a400dbd434e4df37087960d94b764791

I don't think it's a good think that Mozilla seem to be explicitly encouraging unattributed LLM code in Firefox.

Minneapolis ALERT: #ICE trying to follow white people after grocery shopping, trying to follow them to hidden migrant families.

Neighborhood groups asking people NOT to enter addresses into navigation apps, which can be monitored by ICE or simply read from a phone captured whle not locked.
