Dr. Q Manivannan, a transgender and non-binary Indian immigrant was elected as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for JK Rowling's constituency. They also are not a British citizen, nor even a permanent resident. They were eligible to stand for election as a Commonwealth citizen.
Oh dear don't spread this she might see and get angry!
F&ck TERFS and fascism!

Look at the natural world. The science. Anyone who doesn't realise we're heading for a +4°C world and a civilisation collapsing disaster either isn't paying attention or is paid to lie.
Pulling down current societal structures is the only way we might survive.
for fun, decided to compare systemds udevadm with gardendevs udevadm:
for context, each color is its own component/subfolder in the src directory
the systemd callgraph did not fit on my screen.
We use words like "sucks" or "is bad" to describe things we get for free and that bothers the ever loving crap out of me, because you aren't shouting into a void. There's someone on the other end. Have some class.
redefining mathematics properly and clearly so that 1(new system) = pi/3(oldsystem)
1ₙ=pi/3ₒ
pi = 3ₙ with no loss of accuracy.
All of life is now simpler.
I had a dream that Mozilla were bullied into including a toggle in Firefox that disables all the corpo bullshit (so no tracking, ads, AI, etc.) but they were really pissy about it so they called it "communism mode" and you had to click on a little Karl Marx to activate it
The dissolution of the UK is getting closer

Also, shouting this one with the bold text:
Debian isn't just for servers. Debian rocks on a desktop.
"But Veronica, I need newer packages!"
Do you really? If I'm doing dev work and need something newer, I'm using containers. If I need desktop applications, there's usually Flatpak/AppImage/Nix/source. And backporting and pinning is an option if you want to get super nerdy with it.
I don't like when my desktop updates. It means I have to relearn stuff. If you feel the same way, consider Debian. On your desktop. Seriously.
