Evil is perpetuating misery for profit.

Mastodon.social is the gulag of #ActivityPub.

Join you an instance that doesn't censor.

So many programmers claim to understand types, and yet they don't apply that understanding to their world view.

How many programmers have you seen sharing [___]-phobic "news"? In programming that would be a compiler or runtime error. In life, you just look like a fool.

This is too stupid to be real. Y’all are being trolled by @freepress.

If I had to guess, one of the best places to be a Jew today is Germany, not Israel.

Being a Jew in Germany probably gets you sympathy.
Being a Jew in Israel gets you forced into the military or trampled by horses (see @JewsVsIsrael).

Because freedom exists man is allowed to make mistakes.

Because man makes mistakes people get hurt.

If forgiveness did not exist the hurt would accumulate without end.

If you need oxygen:

1. Put your mask on first
2. Do not take anyone else’s mask off
3. Then assist those who need help

Surveillance capitalism is like smoking, a bad habit that will solve itself.

Nobody roots for icing alone, just as nobody advocates for batter alone. A good cake has both.

You don't have to go through difficulties alone. Ask for help when you need it.

‪We have enough propagandists.‬

‪Real journalists are hard to find. Why? Because it takes balls and brains to be a journalist.‬

‪We need more real journalists.‬
