Today’s Senate vote is an important first step toward unifying Democrats against the escalating violence carried out by ICE and Border Patrol in our communities. Republicans don’t have the votes to jam through this toxic DHS bill. The obvious path forward is to pull DHS out of the broader appropriations package, pass the remaining five bills, and get to work totally remaking the DHS bill to stop this terror and lawlessness. https://www.npr.org/2026/01/29/g-s1-107762/senate-shutdown-vote-fails

Downtime will likely be for the full day.
The Austrian Data Protection Authority ruled that the use of tracking cookies in Microsoft's 365 Education products violates data protection law.
Austria is paying Microsoft an obscene amount of money per year for the "privilege" of exposing children to digital exploitation. Microsoft, on the other side, is cashing in twice - by selling user licenses and by selling their users.
That's how techno-capitalism works. Not for us, but for someone else.

i think what i hate about dashboarding software is it's like learning Microsoft Word all over again. everything is tucked into a million little menus and dropdowns and icons and stuff you can click on or drag or highlight, and each individual feature had a logic at one point, but years of updates have added layers and layers of weird interactions and now it's a crazy Rube Goldbergian series of things that you just have the fucking memorize.
It's been a busy week so I haven't been able to do as much goblin content as I'd hoped, but here's another gif :)
CW: death of a good chap
I learned recently that Didier Spaier, maintainer of the blind-friendly Slint distribution based on Slackware, passed away. May he rest in peace, and may his loved ones find comfort in the memory of all the good he did for the B/VI community.
Winter of discontent
I don't know of anyone having a great start to 2026, and to be honest, I would be very suspect of anyone who is in this current environment. That said, I wish you fortitude and strength in this weird time.

Which raises the question: given these struggles and the precarious position I exist in, why did I think this was the best use of my time? And why do so many trans women in similar positions also think so? Why, in short, do we keep learning how to do stuff with tech at a high level even when it doesn't seem economically valuable or worth it?

Mozilla has 1.4 BILLION dollars that they are spending on some AI bullshit.
That's billion with a B. So if you held out hope that filling out surveys or shitposting through it might turn this ship around, no. That much money has an event horizon.
Mozilla is cooked.
