I'm teaching my daughter #scratch this coming school year. I'm planning on doing small lessonlets with her and then giving her time to play with it and explore. A lot like how I remember learning QBasic. It's not really about the language as much as exploring the constrains of the system and making art using code. I credit my computer teacher in 10th grade with helping me love computers. She learned along with us and encouraged us to explore what was possible within the bounds of the language.

do trans people exist? well as we all know, all sense acts are reducible to the absurd acts of chemicals, and we would be fools to trust the chemicals to tell us they are chemicals. in this essay i will

@stman @theruran @vertigo Of course. I was engaging in levity, but a serious problem with capitalism is externalizing the cost and measuring success by accumulation. Destroying evidence of failure is a critical failure of that system and allowing others to bear the cost is why capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with anarchism

@vidak

wow that has the same specs as my old lg sunrise tracfone(aka the 'potato' I speculated could be recycled for raspberry pi like uses if somebody was really good at hacking hardware)

I was trying to research if I could get alpine/postmarketos to run on that but I still haven't really tried it

@vidak

what shocks me is how many things get disabled by.... globally blocking cookies.without even blocking javascript.

along with regular video players and such, you occasionally see a few ads legitimately disappear because setting their cookie was absolutely critical to their function for some reason.

reading the dao de jing because I don't have time for verbose german philosophers

@clacke @RavensAmbition @yogthos On another side, I’m not sure that Taiwanese know that Jiang Jieshi/Chiang Kai-shek was affiliated with World Anti-communist League, (with lot of South-America US-backed dictators), that was created by Ukrainian Nazi Yaroslav Stetsko. Yaroslav Stetsko practised atrocities during WWII, under the first name “Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations”. I assisted in Taipei, in one of the everyday changing of the guard, in Jiang Jieshi mausoleum.

Anti-communism was the main goal of nazism (they called their ennemy judeo-bolchevism, perhaps because Marx was born in jewish Rabbins familly), but it extended anarchist movement born in France Proudhon from French revolution, in part due to US independency, and later Commune de Paris.

Nazism is just Hitler application of Henry Ford (American cars maker) doctrine, racism and eugenism was more or less common in western countries (lasted until 1990 in Sweden) at this time. that was the continuation of Pogrom in tsarist Ukraine, Lviv (Lwów (1918), as Polish/nazi city, Lviv (1941), where Ukrainian nazi branches started. French revolutionaries, anarchists and communists was opposed to any form of racism and slavery. French revolution has been stopped by Napoleon, Anarchism in part by Adolph Thiers, and Napelon III, but mainly by WWI, communism by WWII in western countries. official racism last until 1960 in US, they supported white&racist South Africa, and CIA helped to jail communists helped (by China and Cuba) Nelson Mandela. Auschwitz camps (still in nazi Poland) was liberated by soviets, Hitler bunker has been destroyed by Soviets in Berlin. Soviets lost more than 10 millions people in war against nazis, at the same time, US companies helped Nazis with computers (IBM), engines (General Motors), etc.., Black people was in Normandy at the liberation of France, French people photographed/drawn them, but only White people was in US troops on Champs-Elysées, during Paris Parade. The nazi party of Yaroslav Stetsko is a main actor in the end of Maidan events and several nazis was at the head of Ukrainian government after the coup.

My photo app reminded me I went to a beer and coffee tasting festival at the end of last February, with reusable glasses rinsed between drinks. At one point I said to the people I was with, "The servers are handling things that people have had against their mouths, seems kind of sketchy with that coronavirus going around. Maybe I should head out?" And they were like, "Haha, Erin, you fuckin' germphobe." Who's the fuckin' germphobe now?!? (Spoiler: most of us)

I wonder how many bands have a lead singer/band sysadmin?

Another hour and a half of doomscrolling mastodon with no crash!

I guess the #Tauon was just overheating?
