I have my inbox / notifications hidden using an adblock rule because I am an anxious wreck who posts cringe.

I probably won’t notice DMs.

  • I recently discovered a livestream for watching the weather from an apartment overlooking the neighboring capitol city. Every day that we get interesting weather the same core group of friendly chill people gather in chat to just be nice to each other and enjoy watching lightening and storm clouds etc. We exchange news as different storm cells move over our respective areas etc.

    It’s like watching twitch except no parasocial bullshit. Vaguely boomer coded but not in a gross way. It’s the comfiest thing I’ve experienced in a long time.




  • That struck me in so many places in China, like you’d be eating dinner on the street at like 10pm and there would just be smol children bumbling around doing kid stuff and any time one of them looked to be blundering in the direction of danger a random adult would just scoop them up and point them back in the direction of safety.

    I’m tired of hearing “china numba 1” jokes over the years, but it really is (or was, it’s been a while since I visited) my fave developed nation. Not a utopia by any stretch of the imagination (I’m always on the lookout for griminess cuz that’s my aesthetic) but yeah, just… really cool. Vietnam and Laos also compete hard for favourite places on earth in my mind.










  • Anyone know if there’s a way we can assist in this matter? (short of donating funds to grassroots campaigners, because I am currently scraping by on welfare.)

    Should we be targeting embassies with letter campaigns, <terminally online quasi-legal activities> or <fed-post-lite removed> towards ambassadors?

    I don’t want to do anything counter productive but NZ has generally been a beacon of hope in the southern hemisphere on a number of fronts and “doing indigenous consultation and representation” has been one of those things where, it may not have ever been sufficient, but it’s been better than what most of our countries can manage to do. Maori representation has been part of what everyone I know considers the prime examples of NZ being a more rational and honest and “progressive” and generally better nation than my own. Which in turn means a lot of us have held NZ in generally quite high regard.

    NZ has been one of those few majority white nations where in the past, the leaders have appeared to lead the people towards building a more honest and representative culture.




  • Ugh. I mostly main linux but on this gaming laptop it came with win 11 and I had to jump through hoops to downgrade it to win 10. This is the last time I windows.

    I just thought I might want to run games natively. I don’t.

    I saw you said something bout Google Drive. You can sync google drive and one drive and all that shit on linux. Just need to find an application you like that provides that functionality and then do, you know, the thing. Eg. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Insync <- haven’t used it but allegedly you can sync to the google and microsoft cloud storage shits using this tool, letting you basically mount them to your local filesystem.

    Not saying you should use arch linux, their wiki is just usually very comprehensive as far as finding out how people solve various problems. A solution described on there can usually be applied to some other distro, with adjustments for that other distro’s particular quirks and configuration.

    Alternatively, and I hate to suggest this, but buying a second hand macbook will get you out of the microsoft ecosystem while being accessible enough that you don’t need to learn and get used to a bunch of new things before you can confidently get back on with using the machine productively.






  • Oohhh yeah. And lets be clear, it IS shitty and racist as fuck still. Which is why I’ve never been particularly surprised seeing Israeli politicians and Zionist activists doing it.

    We shouldn’t be too surprised that there are plenty of shitty racists in the Jewish diaspora communities. They are only human, after all.
