Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

MODERATORS
At a certain point, it will be a more worthwhile proposition to detach from the profit-driven economy at large and just make things independently from open-soutce blueprints.
There will come a time when we end up boycotting everything.
This is the running theme of most of Cory Doctorow's fiction
i feel like so much of my long term strategic planning is about these structural decisions to avoid buying cheap crap. learning how to keep a car running, basic woodworking and simple carpentry, sewing, finding or creating space to repair or fabricate things.
at one point i was in a living situation where i had room for a "project" space. like little art projects, but easily doubled as a repair/construction area. had a shitty opd laptop with mint on it for research, tables, pegboard for tools, paints, bright table lamp, high magnification lenses, xacto knives, seeing machine, etc.
and it was such a game changer in dealing with broken shit. like i could just plop something there and deal with it when i had capacity, and it didn't interfere with my chill or eating or cooking space.
all I can think about now that im between places is getting something like that set up again, both as a creative outlet, but really just to handle shit that comes up in a more organized way.
Oh yeah totally.
I'm gearing up to buy a house in the next 6 months and it will need to have plenty of storage/atelier space.
Already getting there. It's hard.
