[professorhashbrown]

Okay I figure I should make an intro so here we go

My name is Quintin-Cedar, I'm 21 and I have diagnosed adhd and depression, I'm pretty sure I'm autistic,and I use a cane to get around sometimes

I'm big into video games, usually indie games like Undertale and Stardew, but also bigger games like the Forrest and Portal.

[valtsv]

if you could see the thread i'm hanging on by you would not say these things to me

"grace. grace! grace give attention. rocky perform human ritual of escape closet now. statement."

"come again?"

"i learn more from thinking machine. human gender preference. attraction to same gender, means word 'gay.' all eridian same gender." rocky stands straight up. "rocky come out to grace now. all rocky plural gay, statement."

"...wow, that's... rock, i'm not sure it makes much sense to apply human ideas of sexual orientation to a monogendered species."

a long and judgmental pause. then:

"grace HOMOPHOBIC, question????"

when the capitalists die out either thru global warming or revolution will we be able to start homegrown internet

[vodcar]

been reading about dual power and how to grow my own tomatoes and i’m wondering how and if we’ll be able to start commie internet lol

like obviously the internet is this huge electric capitalist controlled hardware infrastructure thing so after all that shuts down is there a way to do it ourselves lol

[vodcar]

i want to come home from a hard day on the communal allotment, kiss my Wife, crank up my generator, and start sharing meams!

GOOD NEWS: the homegrown commie internet is in the works! Across the world, people fighting against censorship and for a more democratic internet are building mesh networks (meshnets) of long-range wifi (LoRa)

Since wifi is just a standard for sending data through radio waves, and radio waves can go a pretty long way if you use ‘em right, it’s not that difficult to connect two computers by wifi from across town. Then you just keep adding more computers to the network and you’ve got internet!

Small antennae, like for connecting across the neighborhood, can literally be built out of trash

And a larger, more accurate one can be built pretty cheap too

(You can also reuse an old satellite TV dish, or really anything else that’s roughly parabolic)

There are LoRa meshnets in places like New York, India, and all over Europe: Spain (pictured below), Greece, Austria, Germany, etc

As for sharing fresh mëmês, the network to go to is Scuttlebutt. Unlike most social media, Scuttlebutt posts are stored on your computer and sent directly to your friends’ computers (rather than being stored on the cloud and sent to a central server). It works just fine over traditional internet, but you can also view and interact with it offline, and it has protocols for connecting over any means that two computers can share information - that includes LoRa, as well as hardwired connections, sneakernet (basically mailing a USB stick back and forth), etc

What that means is you always know that your info is just as safe as the network it’s sent on and the computer that receives it - no one even theoretically has the ability to collect and sell it all. And, since it’s all run on your computer, there’s no servers to go down or companies to go out of business that could destroy the whole thing

You can read more about this kind of stuff here (or here if it’s cloudy in Barcelona)!

there’s also the work being done by the DCPT, left-behind Detroiters meshing together their neighborhoods to share overpriced high-speed connections among the community and producing these good good educational documents, especially this rad resource page. building meshnets to share a global uplink is very similar to building meshnets for the purpose of intracommunication and these resources are useful in both cases

[anarchopuppy]

I’ve had a couple people ask about how to join/organize something like this, which is great! The best list of active projects I know of is here, though you should also do a search online if you don’t see one in your area in case they missed it. For those without a nearby group, put a pin here and try contacting nearby pins as well - you can use the instructions on buildyourowninter.net as well as the DCPT’s resources as linked above to get set up!

Please reblog this version so others can get involved!

[serioustrannyfaggotwithatail]

Also, look for “mesh” or meshnet projects in your area - a meshnet is truly peer to peer - done over RF so security will need to be managed since you’ve no control over Layer I, but it frees you from being dependant on existing internet infrastructure.

The Department of Education worked with the far-right Family Research Council to officially designate March 12th as Detrans Awareness Day last year. But what actually leads people to detransition? It's not regret, but social stigma, incited by the very figures who claim to protect detransitioners. I want to hear their stories describing how the current moral panic influenced their decisions.

[living-weapons-blr]

happy transgender day of visibility!

i wonder if any of our local living weapons are transgender? 👀

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

My exact thoughts. Couldn't leave this in the tags.

[cesarescabinet]

To send a message, write a complaint and boycott the company behind Burger King and the other franchises it owns.

This includes Popeyes and Tim Hortons.

[villain-offical]

I'm proposing... A new alliance.

A TEMPORARY ONE! Only employed when facing said common enemy. We can continue killing each other violently elsewhere

Anyway I call it TACS. Tumblr Against Chatbot Slop. Currently making a logo give me like a couple hours I've got some sketches down

If YOU 🫵 have an issue with AI slop (of all kinds) then YOU TOO can join TACS. No need to send an ask or anything, if you have an issue with it you're automatically part of the crew. Anyway we should start by going through with the blackout period on February 26th to protest the Shapes.inc ads that have been assaulting our feeds recently. Good starting point.
