sure sex is great but have you ever turned off an IBM PC AT by throwing the big red switch and been absolutely, supremely confident that all computing has now ceased and will not resume just because the operating system gets peckish for some midnight updates

Mischievous as a tiger!

Service toot for folks using the e-motion add-on drive manufactured by Alber for their wheelchair: the so-called "dealer mode" (German: "Händlermodus") with some advanced configuration settings in the app from the manufacturer can be unlocked with the password: $AlBr-MtN25!

Boosting appreciated.

🎵I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter for the 'poss to pour the coffee
And she fills it only halfway, and before I even argue
She is looking out the window at somebody coming in...

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do...🎵

Criminals Exploiting FBI Emergency Data Requests

I’ve been writing about the problem with lawful-access backdoors in encryption for decades now: that as soon as you create a mechanism for law enforcement to bypass encryption, the bad guys will use it too.
Turns out the same thing <a... https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2024/11/criminals-exploiting-fbi-emergency-data-requests.html

A few months ago, the conservative party came to power in Valencia, Spain with the support of the far right. One of their first acts was to eliminate climate emergency services. At the end of October, flooding exacerbated by climate change killed over 200 people in the region.

Massive numbers of people mobilized horizontally to respond to the flooding through mutual aid. Despite their ties to the conservative government, far-right groups have tried to hijack popular anger over the state's failures. This is the classic strategy of fascists and demagogues: create a crisis, then try to capitalize on it.

We salute the anarchists and anti-fascists in Valencia organizing against the flood, the government, and the far right.

The sign in the attached images reads "We clear out politicians like we clear our mud"; the logo reads "We clear out fascism like we clear out mud." The photograph shows Valencia City Hall smeared with mud and graffiti calling the right-wing mayor a murderer.

Capitalism is the disaster! 🏴

Another techwear piece, for @unlobito ! (:

Dear Censorious Twits,

If you try to use asexual people as a reason to try to purge furry spaces of sexuality, I hate you.

I’m asexual, not a weird porn Superman parody whom Lex Luthor can destroy with a copy of Playboy.

All I want is for people to tag things. Which they already do.

1/ My dear American readers, I feel it is time to acquaint you with a phrase that was very popular during the Third Reich:

"Wenn das der Führer wüsste!"

You see, whenever Nazis at any level of the German government did something shitty, a lot of Germans who followed them refused to believe that high Nazi leadership was in any way responsible, and insisted that if Adolf Hitler himself knew of this, he would immediately put a stop to it - up to and including the deportation of the Jews. Hence their exclamation:

"If only the Führer knew about this!"

And in the years to come, I believe you will hear a similar phrase from many of those who voted for Trump whenever the Trump government does something shitty:

"If only Trump knew about this!"

A new study of 83,000 adults found that standing for more than 2 hours a day not only doesn’t protect against cardiovascular risks, but it heightens an individual’s risk of circulatory problems.

The rise of standing desks is a result of what I like to csll “wet streets cause rain” style analysis.

Because people who sit around a lot are usually unfit, people decided the fix was standing around a lot instead of physical activity.

Fun fact: you know that then where you go back to programming language A after doing a lot of work in B, and accidently use B syntax in A?

That's how the English language got the letter "H" in "Ghost".

Had a fun day at Reffurence and took a couple of photos as well, so for this Fursuit Friday you can see them too!

Love watching Americans romanticize the shit out of Europe, when most European countries elected their own fascist dipshits during the last couple of elections.

It's getting harder and harder to find a country that isn't being governed by fascists, sadly.
