“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is ‘Nazi’ Nobody cares about their motives anymore.”

- A.R. Moxon

@aldroid this inspired me

That phenomenon where you have a compile error, or a software bug, and when you fix it it turns out there was another one hiding behind it, and so on. And you don't find out what each failure is until you've fixed the previous one, so it's hard to tell in advance how many more problems you'll have to fix until it's working.

It just struck me that a nice snappy description of the phenomenon is: "Error messages ride in single file, to hide their numbers."

Right wing nut jobs claim Islamists run the UK.

What bullshit.

Our most popular monarch ever was a Zoroastrian.

The image came to me in a dream

My parents sent me a hamster that repeats phrases, so...

I know there are allot of technically proficient users of #Linux #A11y here, so thought I would throw this out there. I've used #Vmware's windows desktop products for years but don't like the direction things are going. I have, for some years now, wanted to jump to running #virtualmachine guests on a Linux host and this looks like the time. My problem is that I'm still not sure which host/manager combination is easily usable by a #blind user. I'm planning on running both Windows and Linux guests. There are a ton of guest managers with web interfaces, which sounds like the way to go given that I don't think #Orca is usable and I would prefer not to use the command line/config files. I've found a list but, of course, nothing is said about how they work with screen readers. Does anyone have any experience with this? Boosts would be very gratefully received and, of course, failures are just as valuable as successes in sorting the field. #blindness

Rich fuckwit: chatGPT give me a story of a loser who sucks really bad and who everybody hates and hopes they die.

it's all about perspective

British people like Doctor Who because it fulfills their fantasy of getting to go on adventures. Americans like Doctor Who because it fulfills their fantasy of having a doctor.
