I don't really want to be at work today so I've mostly been hanging out at the cafe and watching my office's front door out the window to see if any customers arrive.... I should probablyyyyyy start some work now though ew
Did you know more often than not if you're a white service provider (I do consumer IT) in an role that can sometimes involve receiving tips, if you call in a nicey-nice brand of casual racist they usually give you a guilt tip at the end? They don't describe that's what made them feel obliged to, but they panic inside and are typically also money-as-influence oriented presumably from poisonous tabloids and think on their feet. 1/2
They know deep down they're deplorable and cruel twats though and that you see right through their politeness. Put it in a White Tears jar towards mutual aid or anti-racism groups, because that money isn't for you x 2/2
People moaning about #TheBadSpace make my shit itch primarily for two reasons:
1) In what way are you superior* to this project that you can dictate to them what they can and can't do to manage *their own social spaces* and select who they are unsafe to share it with (eg: demonstrably racist people)? 2) If you're being blocked by people you very clearly hate what's the problem here officer???
Started remembering back on new music releases for 2025 to have in the back of my mind for my top 10 albums list later in the year. Will be a tricky one, so so so so much great new music this year, we're all very lucky aren't we? ๐
@TheGentleKlingon when it presents the wizard at startuo after a few days to add a Microsoft account with no "skip/go away" button, press Ctrl+Alt+Del and restart the computer and it stops asking for a while
@TheGentleKlingon also, if you've already accidentally connected to WiFi during setup and want to use the bypassnro trick, use that command line to open Device Manager and disable the WiFi adapter so the "I don't have internet" button shows again
Idea: A Tony Hawk's Pro Skater mod called Tony Hawk's Professional Skater that makes the skaters wear business suits and fill out a risk assessment before each level
Just handed off a bunch of laptop refurb donations to a local homeless charity and put the world to rights with my guy there. It's a real mess out there, isn't it
Windows 10 ending support has meant I have been given more laptops to refurbish and put Linux on to send out to charity at least. Everyone can do their part x
What's that? Add safety features like federated and semi-automated blocklists between trusted instances to lighten and democratise the moderation work between smaller instances? No! We want your money to do it in an expensive and centralised way by an organisation that can't even effectively moderate their own flagship instance against racism ๐ค https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115230366976982724
I don't know why some people here try to even so much as thinly veil their anti-Blackness. It's fully visible. A real waste of effort. Stop being such a coward and say it with your whole chest that you're a disgusting rancid little racist that can't bare to see Black people OnHere so we can all move the fuck on without you :spritz:
