@GreenSkyOverMe the door in the middle is for David Bowie

@libreleah I hope you are feeling better

@selzero we kicked the fashy Tories out in England and are get a labour party that supports genocide, supports trump, hates immigrants, hates trans people and the disabled, and is counting to increase the infrastructure of oppression.

What did we win here with a vote?

@MediaActivist @thepeoplestech I'm interested, but I'm a bit unclear about what you are actually asking for.

Is substitutes.nonguix.org down for others too? (I need to get on irc) #nonguix

This feels like an appropriate UK parliament petition for today

@musicman @cwebber I've been getting that a lot from GitHub when I'm not logged in.

Do you think they might be having code quality issues?

@cwebber an attack on trans youth is an attack on us all

@hosford42 are they saying allistic extroverts have less empathy? That would explain a lot

@cwebber I feel the same in the clojure community. I'm starting to settle into guix.

@cwebber and guix and the stuff from spritely are getting me excited about guile.

@thomasfuchs what a WIMP

Thanks to @vagina_museum , @so_treu and @pikesley for this juxtaposition

@nikitonsky @simongray idk, fuck Vonnegut's opinion on that; I'm going to use them more now.

@faoluin @cwebber nevertheless she persisted

@cwebber people do say they like the vibes at bluesky. Maybe doge could get that feel in the code too

@cwebber it could easily be decentralised with a bit of funding from someone like Thiel or Musk. Nothing a bit of VC or advertising can't fix /s

@Fragglemuppet I agree completely. The fact that we have something to improve upon is great.

This has really been brought home to me as I think I may no longer be able to or want to use software that enriches American companies.

We need to make these tools better and available to everyone

Does anyone else find it completely amazing that there are a number of free and shareable alternatives to software made by multi billion dollar companies that are even worth consideration as alternatives?
