in reply to Euphoma

I've used powershell in previous jobs and if you learn it really well I cannot deny it is super powerful.

For a college project, a friend of mine somehow made a hexadecimal file dumper with it, with formatting and everything (think like what you would see in wireshark) in one, reasonably long, line of powershell.

However I'm just not a big fan of it personally for syntactical reasons (even with the syntax being super logical) and much prefer bash, or other unix-like native shells. I've been thinking about taking zsh for a spin recently to see what it's like.

mastodon.social/@potterybyosa/… potterybyosa@mastodon.social - Pottery is where I maintain my idealism and make it manifest through material, form and color. It’s where I can bring together the wisdom of the past and present to create something harmonious and wholesome. I do with pottery what I wish we could do on the grandest scale. I look at this pot and it just glows so warmly, radiating love, gratitude, peace and alignment. It’s tangible evidence that these things are here with us all of the time even when the world seems like the darkest void.

Georgia congresswoman declared in an interview that she feels the GOP has lost touch with its base

When avowed Nazis march the streets and intimidate passerby, our politicians do not care. Our politicians do nothing to stop it.

But when college kids dissent against empire, against a holocaust in miniature that is unfolding before our very eyes in real time, then that's the most unforgivable act of antisemitism ever and must be crushed by the police with any means necessary.

The people protesting against the mass murder in Gaza are exactly the same kinds of people who would have opposed the Nazis and the Spanish fascists in the 30s. I can see it in their conviction. And even though I have not attended a pro Palestine protest, I am completely aligned with their cause: to stop the slaughter of a people by a settler colonialist and far right military force.

How to become a Radical is 2025: (Pick any 2)

5-Ask the wrong sorts of questions
6-Remember anything for longer than two psy-op cycles
7-Find members of the opposite sex attractive
8-Display a preference for your own in-group (that’s not on the approved list)
9-Desire less garbage in the food
10-Live a life your grandparents would recognize

Isn’t genocide denial a crime in Germany? Does that only apply to one genocide? (The Holocaust?) Or does it also apply to, say, the Armenian genocide too? And, if so, does that it mean that the only genocide it doesn’t apply to is Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people?

There's a new attack on Scientific inquiry by the DEI industry in universities. But, also, there's an erroneous over-correction being done where people like Trump are choosing to shut down entire institutions of scientific inquiry rather than fix them.

that night we drank the 3 liters of coke, everyone got fake-drunk and one girl even puked. the girl that brought the vodka got even more scared and threw bottle out the bathroom window into hedge.

Anarchism, Marxism, and the Future of the Left: Interviews and Essays,

Right, it’s time we started an initiative to find and call out (with receipts) accounts on the fediverse engaged in genocide denial and genocide apologism in support of Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

There are accounts (and even whole instances, it would seem) that are engaged in this and, further, attempts to silence the voices, not to mention threaten the livelihoods of, those of us speaking out against Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people and attempting to help Palestinians in Gaza who are being starved, shot, bombed, and burned to death by Israel as we speak.

Is there already a hashtag we can use? If not, any suggestions? Is #GenocideDenial? too generic? How about #FediGenocideDenial?

I read that exchange and blocked, the posting style is very similar to the folks over at babka who tried to get me fired for anti-Semitism by contacting the university I work for. The reason? I said that Palestinians are human beings. That's it.

A dark ripple where women are deprived of livelihood and their identity. After the Taliban rule, girls and women have finally disappeared from Afghan society. The year is 2025.

Never let us stop talking about it. Let us be the voice of all those women who can’t speak right now.
