@CactuarJoe @moira Yog-Sluggoth was an All-in-One and One-in-All of limitless being and self—not merely a thing of one Space-Time continuum, but allied to the ultimate animating essence of existence's whole unbounded sweep—the last, utter sweep which has no confines and which outreaches fancy and mathematics alike.

i remembered this pattern from back around 1982, when i used it to get a score of around 2 million before I got exhausted and had to stop

interestingly, it's so engrained in my muscle memory that -- upon retracing the pattern visually now -- I could feel the joystick movements intuitively, as if they'd never left me

I never scored that high on Pacman, but I could, in about an hour, score 2 Billion on the Adaams Family pinball game.

Eventually, I would get tired, or the electromagnet would stop me. I killed an electromagnet once. It litterally grabbed the pinball in space. Had to power cycle.

Eventually, power cycle no longer fixed the problem.

Best pinball game ever.

no. No, really it isn't. You put in the installer, you answer a few questions through a GUI, and unless you're running some particularly obscure hardware, you sit back for twenty minutes.

And then you're done.

Try it if you don't believe me.

There are USB plugin WiFi adaptors which are still a pain, but not many.

You’re gonna be mad, but this includes FlatHub.

Edit: since people keep not getting it, this is not a criticism of Flatpak or Flathub. Flatpak is a fanstastic technology. Flathub is a fantastic App Store.

Flathub should not be the only popular Flatpak App Store. You should not be required to ship Flathub to get freedesktop runtime updates. The centralization is the problem

I think people are getting the wrong lesson from AWS and Cloudflare outages.

Yes, tech shouldn't be consolidated into near monopolies.

But the real lesson is that consolidation is bad for *everything* in every industry. Monopolies are always bad. The capitalism that leads to monopolies is equally so.

Important infrastructure of any kind should not be operated at the whim of capitalists. It should be public.

@alatiera I disagree with needing a central authority. You don’t get to moderate what is published on AppCenter for example and it’s working fine. I mean there’s literally nothing you can do about someone making a remote right now to publish only gatcha games. The clients themselves (like GNOME Software) could always refuse to connect to certain remotes I suppose 🤷🏻‍♀️

postmarketOS is the work of thousands of people from all walks of life and with all sorts of backgrounds, including our trans users and developers. Previous efforts of transgender computer scientists, including Lynn Conway, the inventor of generalized dynamic instruction handling, Sophie Wilson, who invented the ARM Instruction Set that powers most of our devices, or maybe even you reading this, made us possible.

We believe that human rights are universal and that trans people are just as deserving of compassion, love, and justice as everyone else.

If you haven't already, take some time this week to give your trans friends a hug and maybe a cookie.

Here's the secret to how it works, and why it's so difficult for white women to understand.

If you don't get what you need from the whim, grace, or mercy of someone above you in the tier of power, then you are expected to get it from someone below you.

This works ALL the way down. (And it works similarly in other hierarchical countries and cultures with races and ethnicities swapped out.) But speaking of the US, it goes in order of how rich and/or powerful you are, then gender, then race. Other status markers include disability, immigration status, queerness, and neurodiversity in a complex mix of factors.

If you're a rich white man, nearly everyone is beneath you and expected to be a source of needs-fulfillment. Then to the lower-upper and middle class white men. Then to white women. Then to their children and POC. Men of color are expected to get it from women of color, and so on. Sometimes earned money, status, or success can buy someone some status, but you'll see it often doesn't go very far when ranks are tested.

When anyone below expects equal treatment from some above, and the high status person's whims, grace, or mercy aren't willing to give, they'll form resentment. When external rules demand truly equal application (like on a Netflix show or DEI), it generates a well of chaotic emotions for anyone who hasn't unpacked. Because where else is someone on the middle rung supposed to get their needs from?? Certainly not from anyone above.

White women are in a bit of a pickle — unless we unite to dump the whole model! We're key to toppling this system! But it's too easy for us to stick to the old unexamined habits and expect those beneath us to fulfill their roles. Because it isn't fair to us! It actually isn't! But it's not fair to anyone else either, and the order of fairness gets worse the further down you go.

🧵

#WhitenessIsACult #AbuseCulture #decolonize defcon.social/@corbden/1155614…


You'll also see, as you set aside ridiculous myths about how racism works, that sometimes POC act like asshats, too. If you're not using their behavior to justify the poor behavior of white folks, you'll learn that everyone is unique, and we all react to our oppression differently. A number of featured Black players in previous episodes were misogynistic or opportunistic or unfeeling or antisocial.

But not a one of them seethed like this white man scorned, and the white woman who followed his lead. The others all accepted their losses with grace. It wasn't personal, just a game, because they're all used to losing sometimes. They're especially used to losing to other POC, white people, and women. I can relate, because as an autistic nonbinary woman who worked in STEM, yeah, I learned when to accept my defeat and vanish from the spotlight.

But this guy clearly had never lost to a Black woman before. His ego was bleeding out all over that playing board.

I don't think he even realized what was happening to him, this conditioning playing out in him like the tool he is.

in reply to Mx. Luna Corbden 🐸

Scarcity is key to all of this, because if we could magically get our needs met from just anywhere, the whole model collapses. Now we aren't desperate and unsafe and clawing at each other for survival. Then the middle-rung won't knee-jerk enforce the inequalities on behalf of the top rung.

Inequality doesn't work without us. We're complicit — but also in a very powerful position, if we'd see it, and if we could understand that it requires us to lift up those beneath us, or better, demolish the assumptions and end the scarcity model on behalf of everyone. Shift the burden of scarcity upwards, to those who hoard plenty. Turn the ladder upside down!

Anything else is just shifting the status quo ever so slightly in our own favor. Which, given that we KNOW what it's like to be trodden on, is morally disgusting.

in reply to Mx. Luna Corbden 🐸

Isn't it nuts that we expect the people with the least to provide the most??

But that's how it is. By design. Because we let the people with the worst morals and intentions create the culture and the system.

It doesn't have to be this way.

@thesquirrelfish Really great insights. It's freeing to dig deep into this stuff inside of us, and not as scary as it seems when you enter after listening to the wisdom of people from other marginalized backgrounds.

hey 👋
there's no hard limit actually, you might have hit a bug... If you can reproduce it reliably, please do open an issue on the repo! (But I'll review that part of the code again anyway)
in reply to Tuba

Of course now it's working right😸

I tried making it twice earlier, and it just didn't make a seventh slot either time.

Thanks for checking in about it, though!



I finally got my Friendica account to see the Tarot bot on gotosocial. To start with, search did not like trying to find the tarotbot account (probably because Friendica uses a slightly different format for user names). Then when I did find it, Friendica would only follow the RSS feed of the bot, not the activitypub bits. But I was able to reblog a Tarotbot GTS post on my Mastodon account, which let my Friendica account see the tarotbot post as activitypub instead of RSS.

Anyway it works now, the end.
