within the lightbulb lived a fly
who swooped and laughed
lived and died.
throughout it's life

We *really* need to establish signing commits with a verified key as common practice in software development.

Leaked memo shows Amazon knows delivery drivers resort to urinating in bottles

I bumble and I buzz

Yet nothing comes out

My speech is cobbled

And upturned by Daisies

Pretty heads they have

Those Daisies of the field

They splayed their blooms

For my grand view

And I am left - a Bumbling fool.

Please boost this post if you would like the EFF to join the fediverse.

In a survey the EFF sent me, I suggested they create an account on the fediverse, so they can reach more supporters and support innovative free software that promotes interoperability among platforms, something they've advocated for in the past, too.

If you can boost this post, maybe I'll be able to show them that there are quite a few users who would like them here!

The EFF is the infamous nonprofit organisation that fights for privacy, government transparency, and digital freedom. Their fight is very important, and the EFF is very special to me. https://www.eff.org/about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation

Kids, always remember:

This might just look like an old beat up SM58 mic—and yeah, it is—but it’s one my grandpa used for years as a country music guitarist. I’m not usually super sentimental about objects, but I’m happy to give new life to this mic from “the grouch with the Gretsch,” Bob Moore.
