could be any of the tank girl(s) too

we can tell

beginning to associate that insatiable desire for domination and higher status with the mental illness that it is would be a good step. meanwhile, i think some of the assumptions in the article of immigrant communities breaking with the democrats in the US due to simple financial motivat are missing the party’s complete failure to give a shit beyond thoughts and prayers for anyone that can’t pay for the gerontocracy to get reelected. the prospect of the required fundamental change is incompatible with the system in place. many people just wanted something that seemed actually different, for accellerationist purposes or just to see a lot of the rich people mad at the other rich people.

you’re telling me a huge multinational corporation doesn’t care about the environment?

fuck apple podcasts AND spotify, and all big tech bullshit. there are podcast apps that you can just add things to that don’t feed the beast. https://antennapod.org/ for instance is FOSS, or pocket casts which has a small sub but remembers your place in things across devices including the webpage, or https://podverse.fm/ which I haven’t used but was recommended, it does the same. pocketcasts.com. You should also be able to use any RSS reader, unless the cast is exclusive somewhere or uses some kind of funky ATOM syndication. hope that helps

doesn’t seem like it needs to increase the electric usage by that much, you only need a RasberryPi or equivalent to run the server, and you control everything with your phone… the outlets and solenoids shouldn’t need much power to do their thing. I saw earlier today how many options for EVs are available in South America (anywhere outside the US imperial core, actually) and it was a bit shocking. The conversion to EV business seems like a great idea - especially if they can standardize replacement parts that would be amazing.

Home assistant is great for home automation stuff like lights and cameras and AC and such but for controlling your water system you might want something less complex / more purpose-designed. There are many arduino-based projects for doing exactly what you’re looking for - https://arduinogetstarted.com/tutorials/arduino-automatic-irrigation-system or https://www.instructables.com/Automatic-Plant-Watering-System-Using-Soil-Moistur/ are two i just looked up real quick. I’m sure it would be possible with assistant as well though if you just wanted to centralize.

The idea of the family is so pernicious when it is used to justify abuse and avoiding responsibility and consequences of bad behavior. Cutting people off when they’re consistently being harmful assholes shouldn’t be contigent upon blood relation or any other kind of personal or group association and all the people selling “family is forever” or “traditional family values” are doing it because they themselves are the abusive asshole that doesn’t want to be cut out

moving soon and I hope the new neighbors aren’t like that :P (the homophobes, i meant - the ones in the article souns amazing)

I really like the idea of memorial forests much better. for instance:

that’s cool. might be super effective to throw stuff up like that around outside lands while it’s on, if you’re able to plan that far ahead. is this right in front of mozilla & xitter? lol
