People who use X are increasingly radicalised until they end up as Nazis.

People who use Mastodon are increasingly radicalised until they end up as C programmers.

you may have guessed reading between the lines, but I lost my job in the recent tech layoffs…

also burnt out and realised I need to go back to working on stuff I care about.

I hope to gather enough small monthly sponsors to at least cover the bills, so I can:

- 🖥️ create beautiful apps for #Linux / #GNOME

- ✏️ provide free #design support to #OpenSource projects

if you like my work, please consider $1/month to make this possible?

thank you. :)

You type .expert
Then you paste your SQL query.
And #sqlite tells you which indexes you should create to speed up your query.

No AI, no complex program to install. No expensive database architect to pay for. It's just clever programming.

To my knowledge this is the only database in the world to have this feature.

Attachment: Bedford Borough Council: "Wishing Bedford Borough a Happy Lent, the period of 40 days when many Christians may choose to give up certain luxuries and make space to reflect, pray, and read the Bible to prepare for the celebrations of Easter." Maggie Tyers: "Funny you put Ramadan and eid up first. Its a Christian country first and foremost." Bedford Borough Council: "Maggie Tyers: Ramadan began on February 17. That is why we put our Ramadan message on social media yesterday. Lent began today, which is why our Lent message went on social media one day later. The date of Lent is determined by the church calendar, rooted in the decisions of the Council of Nicaea (325 AD). The official start of Ramadan traditionally depends on the sighting of the new crescent moon. Bedford Borough Council holds no authority over the Council of Nicaea and was not responsible for the creation of the moon 4.53billion years ago."]]> https://anticapitalist.party/@marnanel/116093865204914505 Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:52:36 +0000 https://anticapitalist.party/@marnanel/116093865204914505 Anyone working on the Claude/ChatGPT/Grok integration to #honk yet?

I've binged the entire 2 seasons (well, 3 episodes to go) and it's one of the best show's I've seen in a long time. I have to say it's better than #Pluribus. The storytelling in the show is just amazing. I'm sad I'm almost done with the binge.

Gates contracted an STD and transmitted it to his wife Melinda.

Gates asked Epstein for antibiotics that he could give to his wife without her knowledge.

They are all so, so gross.
