Q: Isn't there something bigger than us? Something else?
A: Yes. Elephants.
Q: No, really.
A: Well, grain barges then.
I hate Murder Hobos but generic hobos have a great way of transporting supplies: the bindle stick. The Romans took that simple idea from a practical device to an absolutely necessary combat tool.

abortion & my past
i’m loud about abortion access because i used to be in the pro-life movement.
when you’re on the inside they don’t hide their punitive attitudes. deep down, for them, a baby is a punishment you must accept for not keeping your legs closed. that’s why they don’t care about babies after they’re born. helping would lighten someone else’s punishment.
they don’t care about life. they don't care if the lives they “save” suffer after birth. in fact they quietly want them to.
If you could work on any problem or project, and money were no object, what would that be?
That could be a personal project, a global one, local, some interest, whatevs.

"But?"
"I went digital," the dragon said, showing the SD card they lay on.

Fediverse pitch: a new instance targeting makers called cyber.macgyver. Their server runs on 23 RaspberryPis resting in a rack made of bent bailing wire covered in a trash bag with a hole cut in one corner. The mouth of the bag is tied around the output if a hair blower with a bad heating element for cooling. Y'all take it from here.

@amolith I think various cookie management extensions will do what you want - you whitelist certain sites and tell the ext to delete all the other cookies after a set time or at close.
re: subposting an "environmentally friendly" smartphone company
@bhtooefr I'm planning to use this OnePlus 5T until it dies fwiw. It's running Lineage and usually has good support for same. Bought it in late 2017, have a spare battery tucked away for when I need it. I got the higher configuration with extra RAM and storage for that reason.

We lost an amazing person in the emulation / retro gaming space last night.

@bhtooefr Yup, my thoughts are the same on that place. It's sad. :(
@amolith It's been ages since I've used it, but at one time PCgen did an okay job.
