Daily OpusEverything I write is freely rebloggable. Just keep the source and tell people about my books :D [Until I decide otherwise, my pronouns are Ze/Hir/Hirself. As in "Ze went to the shops to get hir medication hirself". Thank you for the respect.]
It’s important to know that hijab is banned in schools in most of the european countries, such as france, belgium, switzerland etc. Millions of girls have to take their hijab off everyday in order to have access to education, and I am one of them. Please spread this as much as possible, it has become so normal here that I feel like a fool for even mentioning it, but I’m pretty sure it goes against the human rights. This senseless law has been on since 2004 and pretends that all the students have to be “equal” and it is prohibited to show that you belong to any religion, any religious sign must be set aside. However, most of us have to take our hijab off in schools where you can clearly see a christmas tree or a christian cross. “Yeah but it’s not the same”, they say. Tell me about double standards. I pray for days when we don’t have to chose between religion and education.
This, but don’t read the notes. It’s all just French people and/or Catholics going “I’m totally not racist or antisemitic, it’s just that I think that Xmas, a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, is secular, whereas a Muslim or Jew wearing a hijab or kippah is somehow forcing their religion on me by existing in public.” LOL
my favourite new arrival today to the Suez Canal party is this incredibly conspicuous Russian warship labelled as an oil tanker that’s just anchored amongst the stranded cargo ships. chillin.
People in the notes are saying they’re not sure if this is satire or not.
It very much is, and if you haven’t seen it before, it’s also referencing the famous ‘Gotcha’ comic by the same artist that riffs on obnoxious argumentative fallacies:
Kudos to the artist for making this asshat so fucking punchable that I actually want to yeet my phone to smash his face
autistic people! spark research, partnered with autism speaks, is trying to find a prenatal link to autism so they can practice eugenics and eradicate autism from the gene pool.
I had a weird dream and all I remember about it was that I was negotiating via Tungl private message for some kind of business with an individual whose username was antivaxkaren.
From what I remember of the discussion, the username was ironic.
Like, it’s 100% true that Kids These Days tend to be less computer literate than my generation was at that age, but that isn’t because they’re lazy.
It’s because consumer software has been growing steadily more user-hostile for the last twenty solid years, and this is a deliberate tactic on the part of major software vendors in order to manipulate people into paying money and/or installing adware in order to access functionality that their systems were already perfectly capable of.
Basically, big software vendors have realised that you can charge people for access to things they already have if you can prevent them from realising that they have it; this is now a major plank of their business model.
This is why the Right to Repair movement is incomplete without taking software into consideration: having direct, unencumbered, and unobfuscated access to the guts of your software is just as essential to sustainable computing as not having to piss around with eight different sizes of screws with four different proprietary screw-head designs in order to crack open your smartphone.
