Long-term interest in bicycles; built a bamboo diamond frame bike years ago, learning TIG welding now to mess around more again. I would like to talk with more thoughtful and empathetic people with whom I don't agree. Periodically I am very sad. Wrassle computers for money.

@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw this hit hard for me today.
One of the books that did the most to open my eyes to this exact systemic, banality-of-evil, trapped-in-society-scale-structures nature of all of history is The Empire of Necessity by Greg Grandin.

@ralfmaximus@mastodon.social @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange I gotta say, the idea that we all will spend the time and energy to dig through the files individually seems...quixotic at best.
Do you know of anyone doing the digging and producing useful overviews (with footnotes/references/links) for the rest of us?

@jrenken@mastodon.sandwich.net @april@macaw.social I'm so confused about some of these gTLDs: 'swear', 'recourse', 'gleeful'? I had no idea how poetic domain names could get these days!
