These fucking assholes drive up the cost of so many basic things that are central to people's lives, and then claim that, because of the shortage and expense THEY CREATED, we should just let the oligarchs have it all and sharecrop from them in perpetuity.
Fuck these people. Every one of them.
Wtf is up with wildlife cameras named as if I'm buying a group of mercenaries capable of taking over a small south-American island nation. I just want a grainy photo of a duck ffs.
"With the Recon Dark Force Elite HP5 Ultra and Browning Spec Ops Elite HP5 Ultra Strike Force X you not only take great photos of ducks but also take over four out of five island nations."
review: "Excellent pigeon photos. Easy set-up. It used 4G to call in an airstrike on the neighbours cat eating our flowers.".

Every commercial mail service is enshittifying.
Most FOSS MTAs are, too. And self-hosting is extremely difficult because the requirements placed on senders in order to interoperate with that hellish jungle of providers without getting flagged as spammers by scam blocklists become more stringent every year.
It looks like the OS ecosystem is going to enter a phase of diversification as we desperately try to rebuild from the bits and scraps that are surviving the AIpocalypse. That means that in the near future, it's going to be important to have software that focuses on interoperability and protocols, and less on details of a system.
The path Linux is taking is considerably diminishing my interest in the Linux-specific plans I had: s6 extensions to handle cgroups, dbus replacement, PAM replacement (which I'm not entirely giving up on yet because other OSes need a better authentication framework too). I find myself looking at fundamentals and RFCs again.
Even what I have been working on this past month - sdcl, which I may talk about more in the future - does not feel as important anymore, because it's about interoperability of service managers, which is a good idea, but not necessarily what we need the most right now.
For the longest time I have asserted that I was not getting into the MTA world, but given the speed at which the ecosystem is deteriorating, I find myself questioning my assumptions and wondering about things that did not make any sense even six months ago.
Is it time for qmail 2 ?

Neoclassical Economics: self-interested agents will willingly trade time to businesses for a wage in a labor market, and the magic of competition will ensure efficient (by which we mean best) wage that benefits workers and businesses.
Reality: Fashion models from outside the US often fall into "agency debt" - the costs they pay to the agency for housing, etc. outweighs what they make - to companies who they are often financially and legally required to make money for, making them prime targets of exploitation.
Ayn Rand stans: Hell yes! People should be able to sell themselves into slavery. That's freedom, baby!
Outrageous 🤬
🇺🇲 🇪🇺 #Pentagon officials have in recent weeks asked several #NATO countries to tone down their rhetoric regarding the threat posed by #Russia, arguing that some statements by European leaders and officials have undermined continental security, Reuters reported.
Among the nations that have received messages urging them to keep public statements in check are Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
If you use and particularly, pay for anything they make, you need to read this. It’s one of the worst I’ve seen even in the 20s. 😳🫠
I don’t think they’re recovering without the board removing executive leadership. https://www.404media.co/manifestos-fear-and-loser-thinking-inside-protons-ai-reckoning/
Canada's unions passed a resolution calling on workers to refuse to handle weapons and military equipment destined for Israel.
Unions stand with Palestinian workers in their fight for peace, justice, and respect for international law.

This is beyond horrifying.
Russia struck a railway station in Dnipro with a drone, killing 13 people who were simply waiting for their train.
The drone operators could see the platform in real time. They could see the civilians standing there. They knew what they were targeting, and they struck anyway.
Oh my god
IT’S WOIMSDAY

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.
