In Cyberpunk, you can be more than just a stealth archer; you can be a fashionista stealth archer wizard. And I think that’s beautiful.

@elilla@transmom.love I ALSO really, really hate this and I'm barely into plants. It just pisses me off. Who the fuck cares about one of the early colonizers who took time off from being an absolute dickbag to draw some plant pictures and 'name/discover' something that was known about for ages?

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io Well... yes and no.

I am building a mapping and information retrieval tool that I want to federate. It has a lot of overlap with a search engine in the sense that your best friends and worst enemies have a huge overlap in their DNA but very, very different goals...

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io "search", in the modern sense of a capitalist enclosure tool that cares little for knowledge but instead pushing a world view and surveillance network that it tightly controls, and can be gamed, and is owned by one entity, bleh.

something that allows people to map out parts of the internet and search through them on their own time / recall info from them and link to other people's instances that they trust (to share info), yes!

I imagine a world where libraries run and curate these things and there's no SEO to worry about because it's curated, not automated. Etc, etc, etc...

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io answer me my riddles three,
to obtain a code license for thee,
but be your program used for malice,
I'll crush your balls and call you Alice

There needs to be some sort of Fae licensing scheme where you're free to use my code, of course, but if you use it in ways that displease me you will regret it and suffer consequences in an eldritch, mischievous and delightful-to-me manner.

@RamenCatholic@mindly.social I almost made a joke about "cooking for two: myself and my depression" earlier while eating...

hey wow, Tesla’s new driverless robotaxi ad campaign dropped

manage to distract myself for twenty minutes watching something silly and then, the moment it ends… right back to it.

@cwebber@social.coop I was telling my spouse the other day... your "crime", whether you're highly visible or not, doesn't matter. You build a system and give it quotas, it's going to find you.

@xgranade@wandering.shop @SnoopJ@hachyderm.io guy who understands neither statistics nor neurology: "it learns EXACTLY like the brain bro"

@AnarchoNinaWrites@jorts.horse imagine if they had even called it "the concentration camp bill", "the gestapo bill" to get those terms in the press, instead of their milquetoast "not so beautiful big bill" or whatever

good job guys, really doing your best to fight fascism

@AnarchoNinaWrites@jorts.horse did even one fucking democractic senator try and be like, "guys 50 billion for concentration camps is bad, this is a concentration camp bill" or were they way too busy telling us how Mamdani should apologize for 9/11

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io what I truly love about this kind of question is that it's basically asking, "do we think the cure for cancer lies somewhere in the space between stolen science fiction novels, 4chan, reddit, and webMD?" but when you phrase it like that.

@grimalkina@mastodon.social jesus fuck

@rooster@beige.party gonna write a strongly worded letter (in cuneiform on a stone tablet) and send it to them via (hand-powered) priority airmail

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net @cwebber@social.coop Well, and I wouldn't expect those rulings to matter much, either; although they've been an effective tool to some degree, the regime seems to have no problem either outright ignoring the orders or simply modifying them in some fashion.

Plus some of the districts are not as liberal as they once were; the ninth circuit of appeals, for instance, is responsible for vacating the stay/restraining order/etc or whatever that a judge had placed against the National Guard federalization in LA.

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net @cwebber@social.coop I am very aware of the difference between legally correct and morally correct; my point regarding the 9th circuit ruling was that the administration's arguments for being unable to "execute laws" is bad. ICE raids have continued, and protests were not certainly not violent. They claim the administration presented proof that ICE was being interfered with, and I both doubt the veracity of those claims as well as the very idea that ICE is acting legally.

Which is to say, they gave deference and assumption that the administration is following the rule of law when almost nothing about what is happening is actually constitutionally legal to begin with. Which is not a great sign for challenges in these regions, really, if they consider people protesting to be "interfering" or a rebellion.

@cwebber@social.coop and when something can be done, they will definitely appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court, who… will absolutely not stop them.

@cwebber@social.coop combine this with the ruling on “porn sites” and obscenity and such, and… well, how many states have laws that define our mere existence as obscene? I don’t like where this train of logic ends.
