Stop Giving Harm a Microphone by Andrea Fomera
"But still, it’s caused me to want to withdraw myself and disengage in the communities I found purpose and belonging in. This is a direct consequence of giving microphones and amplifying the behavior of people who post their “opposing views” online and engage in bad faith arguments."

Don't forget, clocks go back at 2am by 1 hour. LINOs and Tories are already back far enough in 1649. As for Reform, neanderthals didn't have clocks.

p.p.s. By their web-based design, web apps have much less access to the data stored on your phone. It's much harder to spy on people from web apps.
That's why so many companies try so hard to push you away from their websites and towards their app store apps, because app store apps make it much easier for them to spy on you.

Absolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag
“Look how hard my team works” no dude you’re just bad at project management.
Competent companies ship products without cosplaying being homeless

running for president in '28, my entire campaign is just two posters, one picturing prominent members of the current administration beneath the banner headline "PRISON", and another of all the leading techbros beneath the banner headline 'WE WILL TAKE ALL THEIR MONEY'

Developing Rosebank oil field 'pure climate vandalism', Scottish Green insists

The next time somebody tells you that a brown person is “playing the race card” point out to them that the person who told them that a brown person can play the race card was playing the race card.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! Please be aware of cybersecurity. If you encounter cybersecurity, DO NOT APPROACH IT. Back away slowly. Protect children and pets. Make noises to scare it away.
More Labour selling the country for tuppence shenanigans https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/15/labour-housing-memo-leak-steve-reed
Our country is being sold under our feet to big US vulture capitalists. This needs to be shared widely. https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2025/10/14/free-zones-rachel-reeves/
@mark I like the Rails active record stuff does this well. The simple cases are really well done, and if you want SQL you can just write some.
@gardiner_bryant I tried to sign up on my phone and the form seems broken.
Keep it up. I found what he regurgitated about the UK particularly egregious. All of those tropes have been thoroughly debunked.

Message in a bottle time again #GetFediHired #jobsearch #needwork. Might have to add smoke signals, sky writing, and shortwave radio (via @va2nw ?) channels to get the word out.
Growing increasingly needy in search for software developer work in the #Ottawa #Montreal areas. #C #C# #Erlang #Java #NodeJS #Forth #Shell #SQL #BSD #Linux #English #French and more. Very versatile, adaptable, experienced. I cook too; every office should have someone who can make Neapolitan style #pizzas for team lunches & parties.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.
