  1. If you have a Kindle 1st and 2nd Generation, Kindle DX and DX Graphite, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle 4, Kindle Touch, Kindle 5, and Kindle Paperwhite 1st Generation, you should know that on May 20th, Amazon will be disabling the ability to use your Kindle, with the exception of books already on the device, and if you factory reset it, you won't be able to sign back in, turning it in to a Kindle Paperweight.

    They're also disabling the Kindle PC application on June 30th.

    Now's the time to Jailbreak your Kindle while you can still reset it if you fuck up, because afterwards the stakes are going to be way higher.

    And never forget that you don't own the hardware you bought and paid for. Right, Amazon?

  3. Sat on the patio for an hour with a book and a late lunch. 66º F, blue sky, warm Sun, light breeze.

    The very definition of #hellscape weather. So awful.

  4. "You never change things by fighting existing #reality. To change something, build a new #model that makes the existing model #obsolete." – #BuckminsterFuller

    For me, this is truly helpful, giving me a way to think about our current #global #realities and consider ways to ameliorate public complacence and our ever-quickening descent into an #apocalyptic #hellscape.

    I'm sure others have stated much the same, or better, but this came up in a #YouTube #video I'm watching and I needed this, now.

  5. The Great Capitalist Lie (Part Three)

    beneaththepavement.substack.co

    Hunger, crippling poverty, rising inequality — putting capitalist misery into concrete numbers. The evidence is clear: we live in a dystopian hellscape.

  6. trying to distract myself from the #fascist #hellscape in my own backyard by doing a little fun coding project. i started with printing out #meshcore conversations on my #thermalprinter but then i really wanted to support #emoji use, so had to step it up a bit.

    maybe encrypted, off-grid, decentralized communications is not really a distraction anyway. 🤔

  7. I once watched a documentary series about Portland, and I know for a fact that large segments of the population only appear human but are actually literal monsters based on a centuries-old cult based in Germany. Don’t be fooled! Do your own research!

  8. @f800gecko A couple of years ago, during the last #Canadian #wildfire crisis, which turned the sky into an #orange #BladeRunner #hellscape, I joined a small #XR contingent in #TimesSquare chanting "we need clean #air!", which was met by empty stares from #tourists. Not sure if the entire sky has to turn black, and not orange, for more people to turn out for #protests in #NYC

  9. CW: violence, ai

    I won't link their site. Search for "plaude"

  10. @beandreams

    Doing: collecting materials and planning a veggie garden when spring arrives. Learning about food forests.

    Starting: Calling congresspeople

    Starting: wanting a hashtag for this type of post which I have been searching for days. A spark of hope that I’m not alone, that others are also doing things. To balance out needing to stay informed about the #hellscape maybe #mypart

    Thanks to this post also going to look for CSAs in this new to me area.

  11. Given the #hellscape, what is one thing you're glad you are already doing and one thing you want to start?

    (Only the parts that are safe to discuss in public, of course.)

  12. For anybody who needs support to stop spiralling these days, here is my current favourite active meditation practice for lefties. Kristianna Smith aka Mocha Einstein offers "Grieve, Ground, Imagine, Strategize". Gently redirect that anxiety spiral into forward momentum.

  13. Do you like being polite to store workers?

    Treating people with basic kindness and respect?

    Being chatty with strangers?

    Nope sorry that's all too suspicious, go directly to jail.

  14. Hanging out in annoyingly mild 63° weather, looking at this hideous sky, while listening to the racket of foghorns, in this hellscape known as San Francisco. 😍

  15. I can't be the first to say this, I'm sure, but the first month on Mastodon, with old friends from the BirdApp popping in every few hours and restarting connections, feels a bit like having been successfully #raptured! (And lord knows, #hellscape seems to apply more every day to the place from which we've escaped...)

  16. Lauren Kaori Gurley: U.S. fines firm $1.5 million for hiring kids to clean #meatpacking plants: Packers Sanitation Services allegedly employed minors as young as 13 to use dangerous chemicals to clean razor-sharp saws and other equipment

    Corporations want to return us to the #libertarian #hellscape of child labor in dangerous occupations.

  17. CW: Surveillance Capitalism, something a child should never see

    2025, the future is here and I hate it.
    What in the #tyrannical #hellscape is this?
    I was truly at a loss for words, is this the level of #surveillancecapitalism I should be expecting?

    This is real, and many of them are for sale in a shop near me. I hope this means they aren't selling
