fedi antiblackness & antisemitism, sarcasm
And "having" politics is such a miserable joke because so often it comes to saying the right things, knowing the buzzwords, and is not rooted in how the person actually treats others, or how they understand the role of history and social context in their lives. It's just words, used highly selectively and in self-serving ways. Relently harassed Black people in your space, comparing them to animals and calling them eugenicists? It's fine, because they're privileged collaborators (echoes of uppity, city slickers, carpetbaggers) and not a saintly Good Leftist like you. You were antisemitic as hell? Everyone knows Jewish people are the TRUE colonizers and uber white. Asking you to be accountable is bigotry though, because you're disabled, queer, and/or a POC and therefore any criticism of you is automatically bigotry 😣

The old motives of profit and self-interest will cease to dominate economic life. Instead the incentive will be the good of the members of society, without distinction.

♻️ HK internet freedom under assault from HKNatSecLaw

♲ @zinc@diasp.org:
Hong Kong’s internet service providers will have no choice but to help police with national security requests now that officers have been given “unfettered” power, analysts say, warning that online privacy and freedom could be under threat.
Under the new national security law Beijing has imposed on Hong Kong, police no longer have to seek court orders before requiring internet users or “relevant service providers”– believed to cover social media platforms and also firms – to remove information or help with an investigation.

wonder if any more #Taiwan expats on here?
or zhende Taiwanren?
living in Taiwan makes me feel pretty disconnected from what's happening in the rest of the world atm...
but with this virus raging over the Earth...i guess that's a good thing.
I've only been on LineageOS for a few weeks. I'm still trying to see if I should roll the dice and do full-disk encryption or will that break things.
thread on XDA developers:

anybody have insight into FDE on custom ROMs?
I am liking LineageOS but the whole custom ROM scene is so fragmented.
"Let's develop this OS on hundreds of different phones that become obsolete in 2 years, and then start all over again"
YEAH!
I think the Pinephone/Linux phone community is much more sustainable for the long term.

Governments are not going to save you from corporations.
Corporations are not going to liberate you from government interference.

USpol, Protests, Police and Fascist Violence, Abuse, Social media Meta
Psst, there is still BLM protests going on. People are still being arrested. People are still being hurt. people are still being killed. Cops are still giving charm offensives. Cops are still protecting the fascists who are shooting us. People are protesting rent as part of the BLM because Black and Brown people are more likely to be evicted. But yes. Lets focus on interpersonal drama.
well i'm back on today for a bit...or maybe whole weekend. let's see how i feel.
lots of stuff happening right now in my life...

Taiwan's Imagined Geography: Chinese Colonial Travel Writing and Pictures, 1683-1895.
