I still sometimes think about the time when BadEmpanada hate-watched my second ever Youtube video on stream and said shit like "I hate that word [comrade]" and "I fucking hate furries" and "Of course I only do this for the money, you think I'm just doing this for the messaging?" and "Who the fuck is this guy" before clicking my channel and realizing I was literally just starting out and was actually not against him at all and quietly closing the video while his gormless fans tossed TwitchBucks™ at him the entire time

Dude is smart and well-researched and right almost 100% of the time. He's also an absolute shithead and I still can't look at him the same way.

Your support helps take on billion-dollar fossil fuel corporations and pushes for a fairer system that puts people and the planet first.

Together, we're demanding that coal and gas giants pay for the damage they cause and that our government backs climate solutions led by communities and First Nations peoples on the frontlines.

The more people who join this campaign, the stronger our movement becomes. Can you help build momentum by sharing this campaign?

Devastating Official US Report Lays Bare The Abuses of ‘Settled’ Climate Science And Its Role in Net Zero – The Daily Sceptic

Net Zero has just taken a major hammering in a bombshell US report that trashes dodgy climate models and highlights the upside of CO₂ – but as Chris Morrison points out, the mainstream media are barely touching it.

#goodcomment responding to my mention of the estimated 8 million children a year we lose to trafficking (to 'philes & 'vores) putting the minuscule numbers of measles infections.

JayCee_11 @digitteknohippie yeah, did you see the “Family Preparedness Plan Act of 2025” in California? Basically legalizes kidnapping and giving kidnapped kids to traffickers


#FamilyPreparednessPlan >:-S
are we ready to end this whole crooked monstrous show yet?

Brought my bike back from the shop after a week, biked almost halfway across this city larger than Manhattan, super winded because I'm immensely out of shape, went to put my bike away in the shed, only to discover there's now a hornet's nest directly under the door. Got swarmed halfway through putting it away, so the bike is just sitting there in an open shed door. Any advice on getting it all the way in before getting stung again? I personally know people who would absolutely wade through a fuckton of hornets just to grab someone's bike, but it'd be an ethical breach to ask them to help me.

There’s a very good reason Scotland did not privatise water 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

“Since water was sold off to private hands in England and Wales in 1989, companies have racked up at least £64 billion in debt, paid at least £78 billion in dividends to shareholders, and chronically under-invested in vital infrastructure. The results are toxic—literally. Raw sewage is regularly discharged into rivers and seas.”

Shibari Rope Bondage

Registro do Atados no Parque de julho de 2025, em Belo Horizonte.

A imagem em preto e branco mostra uma pessoa de costas, com os braços dobrados para cima e as mãos entrelaçadas atrás da cabeça. Ela está amarrada com cordas em uma técnica de shibari conhecida como Usagi (coelho), que é caracterizada por manter os braços elevados e unidos acima da cabeça, remetendo às orelhas de um coelho. As cordas estão bem tensionadas, passando pelo tronco e amarradas com nós firmes nas costas e na região da cintura. A pessoa veste uma blusa de alças finas e o cenário parece ser ao ar livre, com árvores ao fundo.

@MSP_SMIMSA I find your explanation real optimistic. You see, I kinda blame it on fuckin' gayness of our side of the barricade. I mean, shit! We should be totally able to crush Russia. It would only take a fuckin' pair and commitment. Not that I believe we should do that, but since we apparently decided to fight them.....
Anyways, I'm pretty sure that's not how one enters Valhalla

I've just written a text editor in fish, extensible with fish.

#fin

introductory readme:

fin


Fish Extensible Text Editor Written In Fish

Statsheet:


License: GNU GPL 3

Author(s): Digit, Claude Sonnet 4.0

Version: 1.000

Lines of code: 255

Features:

  • Open
  • Save
  • Quit
  • Cursor keys
  • Backspace
  • Enter
  • Line wrap
  • Cursor (inverse colour)
  • Status bar

    • Col #



    • Row #



    • Keybind Help


  • ... and nothing much else (yet).


About fin:


Written by Digit, with a lot of "help" from Claude Sonnet 4 LLM, with a lot of hand-holding, over 35 sub versions from 0.000 to 0.035 to get to proof of concept initial feature completeness without bugs, to version bump to 1.000.

All started on a whim, realising fish is capable of this, and, knowing I'm slow to take to elisp or lua for extending emacs and nvim, while fish is the language I know best... and it's a nice idea that my text editor is written and extensible in the same language as my shell.


#FOSS #FreeSoftware #GNUGPL3
#fish #fishshell #texteditor

PS, I wanted to call it fisher, but there's a plugin manager for fish called fisher already. So... after a few other candidate names (... would have so loved to have my first preference, "fi", but that's for closing if statements in bash.), decided almost instantly on "fin" as soon as it was seen.

shall hafta tend to the next issue discovered, it does not handle files bigger than the view well... does not scroll properly. and add the next feature, page up / page down, soon.

the initial rudimentary testing only happened on small files, and thus i hadnt noticed that scroll fail on files larger than the view issue, so the moment it worked within the range tested, it got its first release, apparently a sufficient working state for a feature-complete minimal proof of concept... but nope... that's not an acceptable minimal useable state for the code's capabilities to be in.
