Rotate the board 90 degrees counterclockwise

Personally, I want to see the removal of capitalism, as it is a terrible system, alongside other oppressive systems like the State. Because that doesn’t happen overnight, and it isn’t something congress would ever vote on, I support strong social systems, high taxes on the wealthy and corporations, strong environmental protections, and especially legislation that strengthens communities. Strong worker protections and benefits wouldn’t be bad to see either.

It can also be used to manually harden fedora 39, which I think is great as well!

I’ve been pretty depressed by the current political atmosphere in the US, lately, and living in a more conservative area of my state makes it even more alienating. Today, I went to a left wing book fair at a city I’m considering moving to, and it was an amazing change of scenery.

The original says keep nazis out of punk. Skrewdriver is a neonazi band

From any other company who runs a social media company with a spam problem, I’d say this is an interesting solution. You can identify some bots and sock-puppet accounts by PCI. For Musk’s twitter, I’m not exactly trusting it, it feels like enshittification is in full swing.

I wonder how this will affect diversity of opinion on twitter, since I feel those already critical of twitter won’t be as likely to spend a dollar

And I’m a little skeptical that this will dissuade botting, since 1$ is nothing

Yeah, its an undercover cop

A corner store near my college occasionally had 4 cans for $2. I’d stock up for weeks at a time when that happened, and I got a sick finger workout carrying a ton of paper bags full of them home

They don’t taste great, but for less than a dollar a can? 100% worth it

Neovim + LLDB, because I like vim motions and hate electron apps.

At work I used VS Code with vim integration, or an OpenSUSE tumbleweed VM with neovim, which I “integrated” into the windows terminal. Unfortunately, WSL was not allowed due to valid security concerns.

I'm finally beginning to escape a 6 month long depressive episode. I'm beginning to feel happy again, and I can finally find joy in my hobbies. Not everything is going great right now and I'm still struggling to get by, but things are beginning to look up. Hopefully, I can harness this newfound energy to finally begin to deal with everything looming over me.

I'm also beginning to read some leftist books. I've picked up "Black Metal Rainbows" by Daniel Lukes, et. al, and I've grabbed a copy of "Debt: The First 5,000 Years" by David Graeber. I'm hoping to read some other titles when I get the chance. Hopefully, I can get back into reading again, it's a great break from staring at a screen all day.

I've read half of Black Metal Rainbows so far, and I think it's pretty good, even as someone who isn't in very deep the black metal scene. The book is a collection of essays, art, stories, and interviews, and so far I've read about topics ranging from anti-fascism and removing fascist and nazi bands from metal, queer artists and their experiences in the scene, feminism, sex work, men's mental health and DSBM, and an interview with Dødheimsgard (my beloved). I'd highly recommend it if you are interested in black metal or leftist communities in metal.
