   And in the USA, deaths by ICE agent continue to rise, as the extrajudicial executions on the street continue.

   On one level, the African American community will tell you this is nothing knew, but perhaps what is, is the extraordinary brazen way that ICE agents act with impunity.... something that is sparking a growing resistance to ICE presence on the streets at all.

   As I've said before, If you think this looks like a fascist state, you'd not be alone

   "Commitment to your most important goal will always be your greatest success." - Futurist Jim Carroll

   I once wrote this phrase: "Real progress is often invisible, boring, and repetitive. Don't mistake the quiet for regression!"

   In that context, sometimes your greatest small achievements come up against a bold realization. For me, today marks a unique milestone in a long-running personal project—3,500 days of consistent, quiet effort toward a goal that few people actually see. It's a significant step in a long journey, yet another link in a chain that grows stronger each day.

   Progress and success always come from commitment to the cause. Wins are often not instant, dramatic, or bold - instead, they are quiet, barely noticeable, forgettable at moments - until suddenly, they collide with a marker of significant success.

   Today is one of those days.

   And with this comes an important realization about the work I do. I often tell clients that successful innovation doesn't always involve a big, dramatic breakthrough; it’s usually a messy, squiggly line of effort where the ultimate moment of success is eventually reached. In the same way, personal success on a big goal is often about the small steps, not the big leaps. Managing any major life goal isn't just about reaching the finish line; it’s about the mindset pivot you maintain along the way.

   I've often said that you are the total of all your highs and each of your lows, and you must own the quiet, repetitive, low parts of the process for the highs to mean anything at all.

   As I look toward my next milestone (like my upcoming tee time at St. Andrews!) I’m reminded that success is about patience.

   It’s about trading the immediate dopamine of a "quick win" for the long-term guarantee of a life well-lived.

   3,500.

   Pretty fucking awesome!

   Look, if we intend to make it through all the chaos that is coming, a lot of us need to start thinking in terms of liberation in a big way. We need transformative justice not imprisonment & slavery.

   We can't be squeamish now. We can't clutch our pearls over "criminality" as defined by a State that exerts violent control over us all.

   As far as I'm concerned, as long as our prisons are still standing, we haven't yet done enough to vanquish fascism. You have to burn the roots.

   GrapheneOS: Where Licenses Matter More Than People

   I chose to write this.

   https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/grapheneos-where-licenses-matter-more-than-people/

   #GrapheneOS #Accessibility #FOSS #Blind #DisabilityTech #Inclusion #GPLv3 #espeak #a11y #Security #FreeSoftware #DisabilityRights #Android #Rant #TechShame

   **update**: If you are using this post as some kind of call-to-action to harass and attack the GOS developers, please don't.

   That damages everyone. You, them, and myself. It's not helpful.

   **Update two**. I have made the decision to pull this post. It is not a good starting-point for a discussion, and just encourages defensiveness on both sides – when there really aren't sides here at all.

   As a FOSS contributor, I am deeply ashamed at the way I approached this out of frustration.

   @LukeAlmighty Admittedly, Czech media is not something known here at all.

   As far as comedy is concerned I like stuff like MillionDollarExtreme, Tim & Eric, and Xavier Renegade Angel so you probably know where my brain is with that (if you know what those things are).

   I do agree toilet/grossout humor is shit.

   It was only a matter of time until some real programmers got around to optimizing it all.

   As a general rule, if your solution is "giant matrices", then you are doing it wrong. Matrices are a very mathematician-minded approach that is seldom even vaguely efficient.
