Notion has been actively sherlocking my extension for a while now

but now they're starting to release features that are actively competing and this might mean the end of notion.cafe in the near future, or rather, i need to starting diversifying my income again 😅

@ramin_hal9001 What the heck is wrong with some of the comments under this?

Pop your heads out of your respective asses, PewDiePie IS a problematic individual who has had problematic behaviours throughout the years like downright racism and guess hat "racism" is a fascist-adjacent concept so yeah, at least part of his audience is fascist.

Watch out because defending fascists and similar behaviours WILL make you a fascist in the end.

Thanks @ramin_hall9001 for making this post.

In 2025 - when someone in a minority sounds alarm bells about someone with a HUGE following entering a (mostly) diverse, welcome hobby space - LISTEN TO THEM.

The Racist & Fascist activity of a particular YouTuber / Twitch streamer are well known by now.

Go look for yourself.

Minority groups are too busy surviving to give Racism and Fascism 101 lessons to the 'Well Actually' crowd.

One thing I love about #Mastodon which I never saw on other social media (although to be fair I never was very active) is that I stumble over these genuine conversations people are having on my timeline.

It feels like coming into a room full of friends and hearing them talk about their lives and experiences to each other.

I know it’s parasocial, I don’t really know them. But it feels wholesome nonetheless.

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

🙃 All someone is saying when they say "we don't talk about politics here" is that they enjoy the safety and comfort their privilege affords them. They are actively choosing not to care about anyone without that same safety and comfort. It's a choice.

Mussolini was killed by Italian partisans (communists) 80 years ago tomorrow, 28 April 1945.

After learning of this, Hitler killed himself on 30 April 1945.

They do die, these bastards. We should celebrate that.

`ccdoom` is a standards-compliant C23 C compiler that has "program-agnostic compilation model" and "advanced whole-program dead-code elimination" that always outputs doom.exe.

> ccdoom adopts a more user-centric approach to safety: the output contains significantly more monsters than the output of most C compilers, but the user is provided sufficient ammunition to defeat them.

"I fight for the user" has been lurking in the hindbrains of so many tech workers since the *Tron* years, somehow nestling comfortably alongside of the idea that "I don't need a union, I'm a temporarily embarrassed founder."

Tech bosses don't actually *like* workers. You can tell by the way they treat the workers they don't fear.

But for tech bosses, this vocational awe wheeze had a fatal flaw: if you convince your workforce that they are monk-warriors engaged in the holy labor of bringing forth a new, better technological age, they aren't going to be very happy when you order them to enshittify the products they ruined their lives to ship.

The answer is a tactic that Fobazi Ettarh called "vocational awe":

https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocational-awe/

"Vocational awe" describes the feeling that your work matters so much that you should accept all manner of tradeoffs and calamities to get the job done. Ettarh uses the term to describe the pathology of librarians, teachers, nurses and other underpaid, easily exploited workers in "caring professions."
