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.

Meanwhile, if you want a look at education "reform" that *works*, check out Andrea Gabor's 2018 "After the Education Wars," and learn how eliminating hierarchy, funding the arts, offering good wages and good training to teachers transform schools.

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.

I can currently receive donations over two channels.

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!
