Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋

Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.

Have a day!

  • It would require acting outside the confines of the law, because fascists aren’t bound by the law either. And the more the US government is made obvious to be a joke, the more people might finally get the fucking clue that institutions are meaningless when they don’t actually enforce the rules or provide meaningful support for what the working class actually needs, and they might eventually decide to do something about it.

    That is, of course, hopeful thinking on my part, but I think it’s the only correct answer to “what can we do when an overt fascist has power”.

    Additionally, on an interpersonal level, you need to find communities IRL if you don’t have them, and be defiant together. Don’t let these evil fucks normalize anymore bigotry or conspiracies than they already have. Even if social norms would dictate otherwise, call that shit out when it happens.

    And don’t preemptively give up or resign your position if you hold some sort of influential role in society. Don’t make it easy for them. Every single bit of defiance makes it that much harder to impose the hell which they intend to inflict, which is in and of itself valuable.








  • Fish is actually user friendly and easy to learn. The interactive completions are better than any other shell and are something I don’t want to live without.

    It differs from bash in some esoteric ways, but any issues you might encounter as a result are easily worked around by putting shebangs in your scrips, which you should be doing anyway, and bash -c 'your command'.

    Honorable mention for nushell, but that one differs from bash a little too much to pick up quickly. However, having an object-oriented shell is pretty sick.

    Tell that to my eyes when your application only has a blinding light mode. Theming is an accessibility feature and should be prioritized as such.

    It’s 2023. Every application should have a theme engine built-in. If not, that’s on the dev. Let’s not make a movement out of a lack of interest in providing support for accessibility.


  • You can root on GrapheneOS. You do it exactly the same way you’d do it for the stock Google ROM:

    1. Have an unlocked bootloader. Yes, this means that it “”“defeats the purpose of GrapheneOS”“”, if the purpose of GrapheneOS isn’t for you to avoid Google’s privacy nightmare. I use GrapheneOS for privacy moreso than security, and not being able to block ads properly is irritating.
    2. Install the Magisk app.
    3. Extract the boot.img from the GrapheneOS image and patch within Magisk.
    4. Flash the patched boot image in the bootloader.

    The main annoyance with this is that you’ll have to do that dance every month when a security patch gets released, but for me, it’s better than vomiting from exposure to ads on mobile.
