Morning everybody, we're doing Monday. Just waiting on groceries and we're waiting until Wednesday for the cable guy to come out and configure the new router after ours died on Saturday since the tech John spoke to yesterday couldn't get the signal to come through. Also, I was yesterday years old when I learnd that getmac works on current Windows instead of just linux.

I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it’s totally cool to scrape everyone’s personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

@chris @daljo628 @jan This entire thread. I noticed the vibe at WCUS in Nashville and was disappointed, but also completely prepared to start identifying as a fucking problem if the people bringing that vibe with them start causing trouble for other members of our community with diverse backgrounds/characteristics. And yes that includes the trans members and the neurodivergent members.
