this is so fucked up. reporter out alone operating camera and doing a segment, gets hit by a car.

are we angry at the car operator who hit a well lit human being? no, we're angry at the newsrooms who send reporters out alone for some reason?

how is this not victim blaming? it happened because she was alone? fuck no, it happened because americans don't pay attention to the road.

wow the documentation for fabric (python ssh admin tool) is terrible

it bothers me disproportionately when people tell lies about me. i'm fine if you share negative opinions about me or whatever, that's your business, but it really grinds my gears when people spread factually incorrect statements about me

imagine being proud of this first bullet point, on stage

i got a music box, so naturally now i have to write software to convert midi to g-code for a laser cutter.

keep getting rate-limited by my own masto because docker's userspace l3 proxy obscures source IP in http requests because docker is dumb and mastodon has no knob(!) for disabling rate limiting.

a computer can never be held accountable

therefore a computer must never make a management decision

@claus i figured out how to do it with marcan's advice, btw. you have to set the boot security mode to like medium/slightly reduced, so it will accept any previously signed OS version, not just "latest" (which requires an online signature that's a certain amount of recent)

@arh can we anti-nominate the creepy idiot stallman

@alrad @arh neither "the left" nor "the right" are cohesive groups with consistent ideologies and using those terms as labels is horribly imprecise, almost to the point of not saying anything at all

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io "i don't use facebook except for messenger" is a weird way of spelling "i'm a facebook user"
