i’ve always wanted to become proficient in Rust but can never seem to find a good project to use it for. what kind of things do you usually use it for if you don’t mind me asking? and does northsky use it for any of its components?

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

A post on twitter from María Corina Machado with the following content: This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom. We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

idk, i think asking a foreign dictator to invade your country and do a regime change isn’t very democracy coded

disgusting that they gave it to an imperialist necrophile like her. she literally supported trump’s series of missile strikes on random Venezuelan fishing boats. there are so many people that deserved it more, like the palestinian journalists who had their lives stolen because of their work

Goddamn, this sounds bad when you write it all out. I didn’t even get to the part where the pedophile president is running pogroms of ethnic terror in our country’s most important urban corridors. Nor the opening attempts at instituting martial law.

The United States president, who is a pedophile, is currently leading a government shutdown because he is semi-illiterate and professionally destitute in the basic functions of civil government and his lackeys are refusing to remediate this because it would reveal that said president is a pedophile.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

AI must be destroyed if humanity is to survive. I'm not even joking.

okay so — bill kezos, umbire, link.

what is the pattern here?

why was moderation stricter for them than it is for anyone else?

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target

But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

When Will the Lion Concern Himself Joking memes make light of the uncomfortable reality: everyone's got a little of that post-COVID brain damage these days

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

forum wars took over the government. the 10,000-page thread spilled out into the streets. people are getting their doors blown open and hogtied so that nerds can win an online argument. they tanked the dollar and fucked the economy permanently to own you

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

free suggestion to @safety.bsky.app: put a note on the notable accounts to double check before you do anything

it looks like its back now, but extremely extremely concerning that it was removed at all

Why does a protocol need a chief executive officer anyway? “Hello, I am the ceo of html,” a statement made by the utterly deranged

“Why doesn’t Bluesky leadership ban this known person” because they like that person’s views and work. That’s all. It’s the same reason Democrats cede rhetorical ground to fascists. They like it

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

I really don’t like contempt for non technical users

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

harassing mods is bad, i agree, but harassing users is also bad, and i feel like y’all are tacitly giving your approval of targeted harassment of users, especially those who are part of marginalized communities, without providing any mechanism for them to protect themselves such as private accounts

this is really cool to see made available, thank you for putting in all the work that you do

there's some more to do here in the repo to get it where i want, but will probably write a leaflet soon on making moderation work for people that are not Bluesky PBC. hoping that this will be a good step in that direction.

with the new round of posts today from paul and jay it feels like they are specifically trying to instigate their trans user base to leave and/or shut up. it really sucks, i thought they were good people but looks like i was naïve

as a trans person i totally agree. yes things would be better than they are now but a kamala presidency would simply just delay what’s happening now, she wouldn’t address any of the core issues that have lead us to fascism, as liberalism is incapable of doing so

they won’t even say the word “trans”, they prefer to just entirely shove the issue under the rug and abandon us entirely and hope we eventually just shut up. same with palestinians, the c level suite are seemingly all zionists

100%, it’s also just entirely a lie on his part, others in this thread have talked about how singal has directed people offsite to harass certain people on here, which is against ToS. people like paul and jay truly just despise trans people, i don’t think there’s any other way to read this situation
