Welp. We're going to be moving to a trailer park....

This evil landlord is forcing us to move to a place with no storage space and $250 more in rent.

We can't afford a storage unit, there's shit we need to store. Please donate to my Ko-fi to help us afford a storage unit. ko-fi.com/sockynoob

For one week, Night of the Zoopocalypse is fully available on YouTube. If you haven't already, highly recommend giving this goofy zombie-movie-inspired film a watch.

Has neat animation (that lighting!), fun monster designs, and a genre-savvy lemur fellow. #shiny

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I paced in circles like a restless ghost.
The windows were frosted, allowing only a faint suggestion of daylight and nightfall, enough to remind me that time was passing, though I had little sense of how.
The shower water was always cold, and my only amenities were the steel toilet and sink fused together in the corner. It was a miserable existence. Yet, as I soon learned, misery can always be deepened
On September 7th, the warden's office saw fit to move me into something far worse, an even smaller cell, no more than seven by nine feet, coated in filth, reeking of neglect, and utterly devoid of natural light or ventilation.
In that suffocating shoebox, there is no room to walk, no hint of the sun, no trace of humanity. The silence is crushing.
The air feels stale. The walls themselves seem to close in. I keep asking myself: will this barbaric confinement ever end? Is this legal under our Constitution, or have I simply been erased from the protections of due process?
Most haunting of all, will I survive it? With no access to my family, no calls, no emails, and with letters that may never leave this building, I live in total darkness, cut off from the world I once fought to serve.
Let me be blunt: I find Warden Kelly's so-called "protection" not only unpalatable, but cruel and unjustifiable. My time here has opened my eyes to a truth far too many ignore: America desperately needs prison reform.

Yeah... cool... so they're doing away with the main point of difference between Android and iOS, so they'll be the same shit with different UIs.

So sick of this anticonsumer bullshit, I was already considering getting a dumb phone or building something myself, and this basically seals the deal.

That's the neat part, if you refer to page 397 of the fourth license thingy that you had to click through to actually use the thing you just paid $1k for, you don't own anything!

So that's the only accurate part in their comparison to an airport: it's all security pageantry that does really nothing at all.

"Google won't check the content or functionality of the apps, though."

So it's making developers jump through hoops for no added benefit to app users, and worse, may provide a false sense of security.

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

Ars Technica @arstechnica.com · Aug 25

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.

It blows my mind that red-&-black fruits and seeds are attractive, but red-&-black insects are repellent (aposematic). In dispersal, as in life, context is everything! 📷1: Ripe fruits of Pinanga malaiana (#Arecaceae). 📷2: red-spotted stink bug, Jose Amorin CCBYNCSA2. #dispersal #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
