This is #sad and #infuriating.
75 people at a private party in #Indonesia were arrested, it was accused by the authorities of being a "#gay party".
Shit like this is literally what triggered the #Stonewall riots in the #USA.
I don't know the sexual orientation of the partygoers, but it shouldn’t matter: This form of state bullying is wrong either way.
Headline: “U.S. Education Department denies federal aid for Kentucky schools”
“One of the projects denied was in Jefferson County; $340,347.96 was originally earmarked to support students experiencing houselessness”.
Jefferson County is Louisville, the largest city in the state. Fuck them homeless kids, I guess.
I love reading Books. I love reading physical books, you know the ones that you hold in your hand. I love Foliate, which I have encountered on one of my Open Source operating system distributions.
Since I love reading physical books it was normal and natural for me that Foliate had a regular light theme because paper is white to light yellow.
The light theme was chosen even though my desktop had a dark team, also logical.
Now I was fortunate enough to get a free set of fantastic books which are accessible through a DRM walled system by Amazon. Their closed Source clients did the following infuriating thing.
When it started it up, kindle gave a brief warning that it was going to change something which turned out to be the theme which it brought to dark, and I have not found the easily accessible option to change it back to the light theme.
How Bad a programmer must you be, to change something as important as a theme in a ebook reader and not put easily accessible option to change it back.
I know what I'll do; I'm going to strip the DRM of the books, so that I can read them in my normally programmed Open Source eBook reader, which doesn't change the theme at all, especially not for no apparent logical reason
Grrr

@Thumper1964 @praetor @unruly We have some people in town like that for almost everything. Can be #infuriating
@fooflington @hub I just recently had to deal with a service that banned me using an email address at my personal domain but permitted the `+` when I used gmail. #infuriating #weird

Dear app makers.
Ability to send my friends a month's worth of premium if they subscribe to your app is not a 'gift'.
I'm not doing your marketing for you.
#JeffBezos’ ex #MacKenzieScott donates #millions to ‘#vital’ #LGBTQ+ #nonprofits, #infuriating #bigots.
— if Anyone knows MacKenzie send her my way, my website could really use some funding and I can run for years on much less than a million dollars.
I used #Nitter from time to time to access tweets that were referenced by news posts but that was it.
#Kudos to all the #Nitter #devs who have worked their asses off for a #FreeSoftware gateway to a hostile non-free platform. I salute you! 🙋♂️
Nitter's death is #Infuriating but not really surprising; the writing has been on the wall for a while now.
Events like this just reinforce my belief that #FreeSoftware must become the default everywhere.
@thomasfuchs can't see shit through the light pollution of modern LED street lights everywhere. #Infuriating
So, the whole thing where #CanadaPost has been #illegally taking #information from the #mail you receive, including your #name, #address, and the #retailers you are getting #packages from, and building a #marketing #database from it, which they then #sell to #advertising mailing list services, is ~~interesting~~ #infuriating.
"Oh, but you can opt out!" they say.
It should be opt-in, of course, but then no one would do so.
So go to opt out... well-played, Canada Post.
Went to the beach early today and got a great spot with a great view. Went for a short walk and came back to this. A tent almost directly in front of us when they literally could have set up anywhere else without blocking anyone. #infuriating

I cannot even begin to understand the mind of the person who though the top row of tiles in this bathroom is acceptable!!!

I still cant deal with the fact that plugins for #3Dprinter firm/soft ware exist called 'arc welder'. They have nothing to do with welding metal together with an electrical arc, and are just a way of smoothing out g code in to nice arcs rather than stepped/pixellated circles (like what you'd see in an old video game) that are close to an arc.
It is #infuriating that people are OK with this blatant crime.
Hall also has 5. Marchand and Debrusk each have 4. This is Playoff Pastrnak, nothing special and he should be. #infuriating
