Eventually people have to decide if they want to keep handing control of their ability to speak out, organize etc. to corporate entities that only care about capturing and controlling their platforms

If you stay on Bluesky, that’s the choice you’ve made, you’ve ceded ground to people you know are out to harm you and suppress your speech.

What we need to do now is make it inviting and easy for those people to escape those trying to silence them.

RE: mastodon.social/@_elena/115909

Elena has a point, depending on context and need re: relative safety.

Muting means you don't see it, but doesn't change what it can access. Blocking means it doesn't see/interact with you, but it can see that you've blocked it.

If your personal threat management includes not appearing on a list, don't block.

If your need is to send the message that "you are not welcome in my space", block.

OTOH, this is a good point for a reminder that you are on the public internet. You are seen.

I lost a friend over my article about the murder of Renee Nicole Good.

He was angry I called out the underlying misogyny.

He was mad I didn’t give ICE the benefit of the doubt.

He made it personal.

He told me my “stupid clown hair” is why people don’t take me seriously

Everything he said to me was dripping with disdain and misogyny.

There was no debate.

There was no respectful disagreement.

In under five minutes he had attacked my intelligence, my politics, my appearance and my writing.

This is not normal behaviour.

He literally proved my point.

Had I taken the bait I’m convinced that I would have been called a “f*cking b*tch” by the end of the conversation.

This is what MAGA is doing to men.

It’s emboldening them.

It’s validating their bigotry.

I assume this person was always hateful and misogynistic on some level … but now he no longer feels he has to hide it.

He literally said as much.

He said “I never told you in the past because I wasn’t allowed. Now I am.”

Why is he allowed to tell me now??

Why does he feel justified in lashing out with rage and insults over something that has nothing to do with him?

It’s because of what happened to Renee Nicole Good.

We all watched a woman get shot in broad daylight and there’s been zero consequences

We’ve watched rapists, pedophiles and abusers go free for years.

Every woman who’s ever experienced abuse knew exactly what Jonathan Ross meant when he said “f*cking b*tch”

He didn’t fear for his life.

He was enraged she didn’t fear for hers.

My friend was enraged I dare speak out for a “lesbian leftist”.

He was enraged I didn’t remain silent, complicit and demure.

He was apparently also enraged I didn’t realize he hated my hair and change it to please him.

Make no mistake, there is a war against women going on.

This regime wants to make us “less than”.

They want us afraid.

They want us in the home serving our husbands and having children.

They want us seen and not heard.

They don’t want us resisting.

Which is why we must keep speaking out.

We must refuse to go back.

My life is better off without this person in it, and thankfully I can walk away.

Not everyone can.

Speak up if you see someone being hurt.

Protect your friends and neighbours.

Challenge misogynistic talking points.

Demand justice for Renee Nicole Good.

Don’t cower. Don’t be afraid. Don’t give up.

Creativity is like a muscle. If you want to become more creative, you have to exercise it.

When I was in art school (years ago), we exercised every day to become more creative. Artists have to train to get there too. It's not magic or "talent," it's hard work.

When you use AI to give you "inspiration," you are doing the opposite of that. You are atrophying your creativity muscle.

If you want to become a creator, and become more creative, you should stop using AI entirely. Instead, start training your own genuine creativity. Otherwise, it will eventually dry off completely.

Last week, I wrote
front-end.social/@leaverou/115
It was even on the cover of @javascriptweekly!

I since discovered there *is* a way to inject import maps w/ JS! JSPM v4 does it too.
This is a GAMECHANGER.

It meant my vision of dependency mgmt in the browser w/ Node-like DX is possible, today!
✅ No watcher
✅ No transpilation
✅ No CDN
✅ Granular caching

I *had* to build it. I dropped everything for 3 days, and now have a working prototype.

Who wants to try it out before release? Reply privately.

How does one spelunk history? I see that breakpoint() was added all the way back in 3.7, but hasn't been improved on at all.

I can't be the first person who wanted to do "breakpoint(x,y)" to start the debugger and immediately print out the values of x and y, instead of making me type each in the debugger every time I got to this spot.

Where can I find the discussion of what breakpoint() should and should not be able to do?

ICE, MSP, domestic terrorism

I was reading this report about the domestic terrorism inflicted upin the citizens of - it's truly scary.

donmoynihan.substack.com/p/dis

I saw this pop up on , read through some of the comments there, and the sentiment was: well this is serious but how do we know it't true?

This feels like tech bro escapism to me. Even if 1/10th of what we hear and see happen in MSP through citizen reports is true, we should all be afraid for our fellow citizens.

일론머스크가 오픈AI를 고소했는데요. 샘알트먼이 자신에게 사기를 쳤다는겁니다. 일론머스크는 오픈AI의 설립자본을 60퍼센트. 3800만 달러를지원(오픈 ai가 비영리니까 기부) 했고 인재영입, 대외적 홍보나 뭐 초기 전략적 도움 인맥지원등 무형의 지원도 했다는겁니다. 그리고나서 영리기업으로 전환하고 마이크로 소프트와 손을 잡은게 사기라는데요. 딱히 계약서로 기부금을 영리화하면 투자금으로 해준다 이런건 아닌데 이게 왜 사기인지는 샘알트먼이 일론머스크에게 보낸 이메일에 있습니다.

伊朗据称要断网到三月份,那之后,可能会建立朝鲜级别的网络墙。其政权网络和无人机监控技术都由中国提供,主要供货商之一是深圳的天地伟业Tiandy(这公司真敢叫这个)。伊朗人抗争那么勇敢决绝,而哈梅内伊负责屠杀;川普一度承诺出兵又放弃,负责先炮制又戳破虚假的希望;我们中国人负责洗地、事后维稳,全世界都是凶手,太难受了。

"Federal agents abduct people and ask questions later; if your skin is not White, you are presumed guilty until proven otherwise. ...

In nearly all immigrant and Black and Latino neighborhoods, there are multiple attempted armed abductions of residents every day. (Such events also happen, albeit less frequently, in more economically privileged neighborhoods: Housecleaners, construction workers, etc. are the targets in those cases.)"

Marisa Kabas also offers from-the-spot testimony from Minnesota. Her piece features Alice Valentine, who was apprehended along with her girlfriend as they tried to monitor ICE brutality towards immigrants in St. Cloud. Valentine speaks of the racism combined with misogyny and homophobia she witnessed.

"People at risk of abduction are now understandably unwilling to leave home ─ meaning they can’t go to their jobs, and they can’t shop for food and other necessities. Affected kids don’t get meals at school. Local communities are organizing to feed hundreds … thousands? … of terrified families who are hiding from our federal government. Nearly everyone in these families is a U.S. citizen or otherwise legally in the United States."
