Ron Paul's Drag Race

🎉 Well played, Fediverse, well played! 🎉

I should probably involve you more in my everyday life's decisions 😄

When the Pegasus Project dropped last week, it was both an ordinary and exceptional moment. The report - from Amnesty, Citizenlab, Forbidden Stories, and 80 journalists in 10 countries - documented 50,000 uses of the NSO Group's Pegasus malware.

The 50,000 targets of NSO's cyberweapon include politicians, activists and journalists. The Israeli arms-dealer - controlled by Novalpina Capital and Francisco Partners - has gone in to full spin mode.

Hey, I'm currently super poor and can't even afford food or drink.

If you got money to spare for an income- and homeless hacker creating leftist software, services and propaganda, that'd be extremely appreciated.

Hey y'all, my partner @ducki could really use some help.

His parents are taking everything out of his savings account to pay their rent next month, which took him like 2 years to put away....

If anyone could offer them some aid that'd be so kind, and we'de both be so fuckin' grateful...

#labor: Workers at the Topeka KS Frito-Lay plant approve contract and will return to work Monday. The contract guarantees a 4% pay raise and at least 1 day off per week. I'm not sure I'd score this a union victory. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/frito-lay-workers-strike-union_n_60fc9726e4b05ff8cfc9024b

This game sucks, I'm taking these fucking chairs

Back around 1993, I wrote a TTRPG called "SLUGS" - the Satanic, Loathsome, Unwholesome Game System. Only 200 were ever made. About 20 pages, copied & stapled.

Today, folks pointed me at a FB discussion about that game. It has fans.

Put your weird out there. People will love it.

Just some screenshots of Tubefeeder a Youtube client running on the #Pinephone

I call it "client" but it's really more of a feed reader specialized on Youtube and opening videos in mpv so it allows you to watch videos from people you follow but nothing else. I wish it had better desktop support because it's exactly how I want to watch Youtube! :D

Big thanks to Schmiddiii (Github) for the amazing work!
