Macron is neoliberalism personified, of course he likes the fash more than the left.

Hot take: public transit should not be run "for profit". The profit comes from everybody getting to their destination quickly, efficiently, and predictably.

@aral Powerline is still pretty slow then? I went to the trouble of installing ethernet to the router and I get a full gbit, so around 100MiB/s.

@ixs In that case, let's all enjoy the next fascist chapter in our history.

Sure, that must be a bit hyperbolic, but these guys are voting for fascists, because the fascists are making time for that shit.

@SuperSnekFriend Thanks for the laugh, you parody of an account.

@SNEK If you consider that an enemy flag, I would advice you to seek out psychiatric help ASAP.

Just a reminder that the extreme right is using toxic masculinity as a way to recruit young men.

While we can easily blame men for being toxic, I don't think it will fix much. We need to create a narrative that speaks to men that feel lost. One that's different than all the toxic shit that's so effective on these guys right now.

There's legions of young men feeling left behind by society, and we need to make sure they don't feel that way before things get ugly.

Here's a reminder, EVs are not here to save the environment, they are here to save the car industry.

URGENT in #berlin

My friend's landlord just cancelled her contract and she has to find a new room/apartment within the next 3 months. She can pay 600€ max on her own, or she and a friend can pay 1000€ together for two rooms. She has a cat that must be welcome.

If you know of any places that qualify, please DM.

Please boost for reach.

DRINGEND in #Berlin

Der Vermieter meiner Freundin hat gerade ihren Vertrag gekündigt und sie muss innerhalb der nächsten 3 Monate ein neues Zimmer/Appartement finden. Sie kann maximal 600€ alleine zahlen, oder sie und ein Freund können zusammen 1000€ für zwei Zimmer zahlen. Sie hat eine Katze.

Wenn Sie einen Ort kennen, der dafür in Frage kommt, schicken Sie uns bitte eine Nachricht.

Boost bitte für Bereich.

I'm of the opinion that #threads should not be engaged with in any way.

Not because I think it's a threat to the #fediverse, although it could potentially be.
Not because I think it will bring a huge amount of bad actors that will harass users on other instances, although that is definitely a risk.

My reason is simpler; #Facebook has done so much evil, society eroding shit, that I don't work with them on principle.

And Facebook knows that as well, which is why threads is instagram branded.

@aral That's pretty sad... I mean, accepting the corps is one thing, but then being so pissy when someone else isn't?

These corpo fanboys are just sad.

@aral Yeah and that's a great goal, I'm just afraid that the current influence of the hate/outrage enhancing algorithms in society's main discourse, will wreck society in a way that it won't matter anymore soon enough.

But that's the fatalist in me talking...

@aral Fair answer, although for me winning would be liberating society from its for-profit silos when it comes to societal functions.

@aral Oh I understand, and it also makes me think that places like mastodon, small web, and other things can't win with capitalism giving such a huge advantage to the rich.

@aral n26 is at this perfect intersection of techbroism and banking, in that they do neither well, and inherit the bad sides of both.

@aral Sadly, it also shows how many people are afraid to come out of their comfort zone.

@aral Good goals, I do still abhor JS though... :P

@aral And I also still disagree on the single-tenant service being very feasible, but disagreements are healthy. :)

@aral Most JS stuff is more complicated to build than entire operating systems, and have a dependency chain that would reach the moon if it was printed out, at a glance those two patterns seem not present here.
