If you still think Israel is one of the good guys, I’ve got news for you: you’re one of the bad guys.

@shine @vtmike @JeffreySmith @FascistCentre @JoeGrowling Right, instablock it is, then. There is zero tolerance for genocide deniers in my timeline. *smh*

@LydiaConwell Thank you, Lydia. Fingers crossed they have some sort of effect :)

@LydiaConwell 💕

@vtmike @JeffreySmith @FascistCentre @JoeGrowling You’re being sarcastic, right?

@hacks4pancakes Look at Erdoğan and the recent history of Turkey. It’s almost a mirror to what’s happening in the US. Same neoliberalism to fascism pipeline.

@petrillic I wish I had the budget to pay myself ;)

@FascistCentre @JoeGrowling Alt text: Screenshot of social media post from Alan MacLeod (@AlanRMacLeod):

Israel just attacked a hospital and kidnapped a bunch of its doctors. And THIS is how the BBC reports it?!
Pathetic.

BBC NEWS

One medic left at Gaza hospital as Israel says it arrested 100 'terrorists'

@mtechman Yep

When live coding on a Mac, don’t just mirror your screen as no one will be able to see what you’re doing. Use, e.g., SwitchResX to mirror your screen at a larger retina resolution (1280×720 works if presenting on a 1920×1080 projector).

That way, you shouldn’t have to alter the text size in your terminal, browser, etc., and the audience will still be able to read your screen. Also goes for live streams, etc.

Antisémite? No. Anti Israeli? Fuck yes. Especially when polls consistently show that a majority of Israelis would want to continue their genocide even with a change of leadership. Netenyahu isn't the problem. Israelis are.

Oh, and fuck you.

@FloydyStu This is what @bifouba was responding to. You literally called Jews an evil race (Israelis are not a race – they are citizens or residents of Israel). So yes, this is racist and antisemitic and Bilal is right.

@Elendol Yay. Do say hi if you do :)

Today @ 18:30 in Dublin: Come hear me talk about the Small Web and watch me demonstrate the current state of Kitten, Domain, and Place.

Gotta say, after a transactional OS like Fedora Silverblue where you always run the latest OS, everyday, with tiny, atomic updates; downloading a 5GB file to update macOS feels downright ancient.

(Mind you, I believe Fedora are in the process of screwing that up – at least in the short term – with their upcoming container-based updates because, of course, the ultimate customer is enterprise¹.)

"She said she had a #miscarriage — then got arrested under an #abortion law"

'...five men eyed Frazier from the driveway

...hands on their holsters as if bracing to shoot.

Frazier told the female sheriff’s deputy that her boyfriend wasn’t home

...the 26-year-old had a terrifying realization.

The officers were there for her.

Earlier that month, Frazier had shared a #Facebook post about the son she lost.'

@PierricD Yep, Orwell was clearly worried about the wrong type of autocracy taking hold.

What 1984 forgot to mention is that you’d have to buy the telescreens.

@molly0xfff His profession? Being a cunt is a profession now, is it?

Wow, I only just realised (using Laura’s five-year-old hand-me-down MacBook Pro) that when you use Keynote on a MBP that has a touch bar, you basically get your presenter display on it. That’s amazing. Especially given you don’t always have the luxury of one at smaller events and/or if you’re live coding but also have slides.

Damn… wish they hadn’t discontinued those now :)
