if you "FOSS OR DIE" fucks spent half as much time lowering the barrier for entry for everyone who says "i'd love to use FOSS tools but i don't have the skills/time/physical or mental energy/computing power to run a [proprietary/capitalist software] alternative" as you spend shitting on people who can't adopt that aforementioned FOSS alternative, you FOSS fucks would have singlehandedly shut down the entire proprietary software industry by now.

I’m sick to death of people being precious about #GMO produce. Functionally there is no difference between a grape bred to have little or no seed and a grape that has been modified in a lab for the same thing. Y’all are just scared of science.

You wanna talk about #Monsanto charging for “licenses” for their crops, ok. Talk about agribusiness killing the planet, ok. Talk about corporations copyrighting genetic code, ok. These are all valid concerns.

But the science is sound.

i hate this piece. i hate that i wrote it. i hate that it exists. i hate that she's dead.

Conservatives, stop using the insult "soy boy" to refer to carnists. Let us earn your hate. #vegan #reclaimsoyboy

I propose a new ideology: #antifatalism

It's about the affirmative belief that humans can change the things that can in principle be changed by humans: Climate change, War, Poverty, etc. We don't have to be resigned to the idea that misery is neverending.

There's no natural law (not even entropy) that says we cannot fix these things. There's only us.

(Note that antifatalism does not imply belief in free will.)

New blog post about why we need to decolonize co-ops:

It would be nice to have a very simple AP implementation aimed at community groups that mostly need to post event details. Varying privacy levels would help too.

"San Francisco and Pittsburgh alike need to confront the collapse of the middle class. Manufacturing jobs aren’t coming back, and we can’t educate huge numbers of Americans for knowledge jobs. Instead, we must turn the nearly 60 million low-wage service jobs in food preparation, retail, and childcare into higher-wage, family-supporting jobs.

What a gem

RT @weedlewobble@twitter.com The ICE employee database getting torn down fucking instantly by the same tech companies who've claimed for years that they're powerless to do anything about Nazis on their platform should give you a clue about which side they're on.
