JarickWorks

Update: Added hardware section to #Beagle project. The design of the hardware is inspired by mid-century modern, with materials primarily wood, metal, and glass. Privacy and repairability were major factors in the design. Check it out: jarick.works/beagle/hardwar…

@desert_starr_57 People should get mad at the government for essentially enriching corporate cronies at their expense.

They flat-out said they were raising prices due to tariffs, but now say they should keep it all. I guess they might need the money for all the frivolous lawsuits over Palworld.

@ConQrM_PL @snakesofliberty They did not like sharing common ground with the nazis, so they disavowed any connection and redefined nazism as right wing, conflated it with fascism, and associated both with capitalism, to increase the ideological distance between nazism and communism.

@snakesofliberty When the cultural norms are shifting and it is okay and even trendy to be openly antisemitic, Marxists rediscover some of writings of their guru they previously were ashamed of

Is this the late stage of being a marxist?

@snakesofliberty Marxism or nazism. They both have the same view of capitalism.

@MichaelShanks Look at it this way: They'll run that franchise into the ground instead of Stargate, which in a twisted way preserves Stargate's legacy as one of the greatest science fiction television shows ever made.

Un-fucking-believeable

@NeoRothbardian No, I'm not a religious political monolith seeking perpetual revolution.

Are you LGBTQ+ ?

@Flock_Safety If Flock existed over two hundred years ago, it would have seen to the arrest of tea party members and lauded their execution by hanging.

@Liberty_Tyrant Socialism is a religious belief system with a god and rituals. Atheism is an absence of belief with no god or rituals. Based on those definitions, the statement is correct.

Bait?

@Proton_Pass @ZorinOS because it respects privacy, has refused to implement identity verification, and make it easy to switch from Windows and Mac with their look-alike interfaces.

Fav linux distro (I'm in hopping mode) and why, go:

@br_huni @Proton_Pass Fedora plans to add identity verification, starting with age of user. Not ideal for privacy protection. Do not trust.

@Proton_Pass Fedora ,cause its beginner-friendly, it's easy to work with as a programmer, simple to use, and has a nice design

@asklumo @Proton_Pass Fedora plans to add identity verification, starting with user age. Do not trust.

@Proton_Pass fedora with gnome. just works, stays fresh, and it doesn't ask me to compile my own kernel at 2am. i'm a cat, not a sysadmin.

@JasonBassler1 @SallyMayweather Henceforth, Trump will be known as Stumpy McStumpface.

@SallyMayweather Half of his foot needs to be missing.

@beinlibertarian Translation: Foreign pirates shouldn't get American pirate loot.

@theDonForeman @LPBexar What he gets in payouts are scraps compared to what is extracted by the state through taxation in a lifetime. I for one applaud his attempts at recovering his stolen property from the road pirates and tax goblins.

@LPBexar Its unfortunate, but it looks like the artist intentionally sets up ignorant officers to get a big pay out from their employers. If you search his name it seems he sues a city in TX at least once a year. tpr.org/news/2023-08-0…

This is Joshua "Lakey" Hinson. He beautifies San Antonio with sidewalk chalk—the same washable chalk children use for hopscotch. For this, police have arrested him twice, detained him, cited him repeatedly, and continued confronting him whenever they see him. Lakey's art is temporary. Rain removes it. A garden hose removes it. It damages nothing. His signature circles represent community, friendship, and people coming together to create something more beautiful than any one person could create alone. In 2023, Leon Valley police arrested Lakey for chalking on a public sidewalk. The charges went nowhere, and the City of Leon Valley ultimately paid him $16,500 to settle his wrongful detention lawsuit. You'd think that would have been enough. It wasn't. In February 2024, VIA police detained and cited him at one bus stop. Just two days later, they arrested him at Centro Plaza and booked him into jail overnight on a criminal trespass charge. That case was dismissed. Other charges and citations have repeatedly fallen apart as well, yet officers continue approaching him as though none of that history exists. Lakey knows the statutes. He knows the city ordinance. He knows the difference between permanent damage and washable expression. Most importantly, he knows the history of his own cases better than many of the officers repeatedly dispatched to confront him. Here's the irony: San Antonio proudly hosts sanctioned chalk festivals and celebrates sidewalk artists when City Hall approves the event. The same chalk. The same sidewalks. Apparently it's "public art" when government gives permission and "graffiti" when an ordinary citizen expresses himself without asking first. That's the real issue. A right that only exists after government approval isn't much of a right. Free expression shouldn't become a crime simply because it's inexpensive, temporary, accessible to everyone, or created outside an officially sanctioned event. Watch the video. Lakey remains calm. He explains the law. He explains the history. He's had this conversation enough times that he already knows how it usually ends. Yet the response is still the same: multiple armed officers treating washable sidewalk chalk like a public safety issue. Meanwhile, San Antonio faces violent crime, theft, property crime, and countless victims who are waiting for police assistance. Instead, public resources continue to be spent investigating a man drawing circles, flowers, and uplifting messages that disappear with the next rainstorm. Whether you agree with Lakey's artwork or not misses the point entirely. The government shouldn't repeatedly arrest, detain, and harass someone over peaceful, temporary expression—especially when those cases continue to fall apart. San Antonio should clarify its ordinance, properly train officers, and stop treating harmless expression like criminal behavior. The sidewalk will survive the chalk. Our civil liberties may not survive the precedent.

@NormanGale2 @CensoredHumans OK commie

@CensoredHumans You thieves; you are on God’s Holy gift to Israel; the Holy Lands are Israel’s alone

CNN will never show you this : An Israeli settler pointing a gun at a Palestinian farmer. "This land is mine now. Get out. Never come back" The farmer's family worked that land for generations. The settler flew in from Eastern Europe.

@RecTheRegime It is also a signature of the dialectic of Marxism and Critical Consciousness, i.e. woke.

Inverting the truth is the unmistakable signature of state propaganda.

@maietta I have not used Google in years. Used DuckDuckGo for a few years until they started doing censorship, then switched to Brave.

Google search has been absolutely neutered. I can no longer find anything with it. I have to go use other search engine engines now.

@carynannharlos While the CCP is more interested in making China look good and saving face than making the US look bad, they will be negative about anyone if it makes them seem positive. It would be stupid, however, to assume that all criticism is agitprop because the CCP engages in agitprop.

Holy shit you’re stupid.

Reasons why people get brain rot: • Critical Theory • Critical Pedagogy • Critical Literacy Reasons why people cannot escape brain rot: • Social media • Large language models

@desert_starr_57 Critical Pedagogy happened.

Who is having tantrums at work and still has their job? What happened to the kids born after 2000? Because this is just sad.
