Today was "upgrade my personal fleet of Alpine Linux systems to the latest (3.21) release" day šŸ„³ I upgraded 5 systems in about 30min! It was boring! šŸŽ‰ Upgrading to newer releases was always an annoying experience for me on other distros, but the #alpinelinux folks have done an incredible job making this Just Work twice per year, every year. I have a few silly system configs that always seem to survive release upgrades without needing changes, it's really amazing. @alpinelinux@fosstodon.org crushed it!

I am deeply alarmed for the trans and gender expansive community in the UK. What the fuck: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/12/united-kingdom-bans-puberty-blockers-indefinitely-its-a-death-sentence/ (Yes also alarmed about what's happening in the US, esp in Florida right now, and what the next four years may bring.) #UKPol #USPol #Trans #LGBTQ

Exploiting mansplaining as tradecraft during WW II: ā€œIf she wants to know something specific, but doesnā€™t want people to notice her asking questions, she should simply make incorrect statements while in the company of experts. Her companions will correct her, especially if they're men.ā€ From Elyse Graham's ā€œBook and Daggerā€, describing a training school for the SOE.

Attached: 1 image As far as manifestos go, this is pretty short and concise. I think killing people is wrong, especially if it's premeditated, carefully planned, and carried out with cold detachment. There are no heroes in this story as far as I'm concerned; just one killer encountering a killer of a different stripe. Still, news organizations suppressing this manifesto is a dereliction of duty. So, here you go.

If you have to stream it, you donā€™t own it. If you have to log in to it, you donā€™t own it. If you have to ā€œactivateā€ or ā€œregisterā€ it, you donā€™t own it. If you have to connect it to somebody elseā€™s computer EVER, for ANY REASON, then YOU. DONā€™T. OWN. IT. Any and all of these methods will be used against you for somebody elseā€™s profit. If you yell about personal property rights but you donā€™t sign on to these statements, you are not serious about property rights. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/12/startup-will-brick-800-emotional-support-robot-for-kids-without-refunds/
